Safety Precautions
General
1. The oven must be installed and properly grounded
by a qualified installer or service technician.
2. Never use the oven for heating a room.
3. Do not store items on the oventop. Items stored on
the oventop can become hot and melt.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting garments
should never be worn while using the oven.
5. Gasoline, or other flammable vapors or liquids and
combustible materials should not be stored near
the oven. They may ignite, causing a fire.
6. Use only dry potholders. Using damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not let
a potholder touch an element. Do not use a towel
or a bulky cloth as a potholder.
7. Do not leave children unattended in an area where
the oven is in use.
8. Never sit, stand or lean on any part of the oven.
Oven
1. Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air
or steam escape before removing or replacing
food.
2. Do not heat unopened food containers in the oven.
Buildup of pressure may cause a container to
burst.
3. Keep the oven vent ducts unobstructed.
4. Place oven racks in desired position while oven is
cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot,
use a dry potholder.
5. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.
Aluminum foil can cause a fire and will seriously
affect baking results.
6. Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven dur-
ing or immediately after use. Do not let clothing or
other flammable materials contact bake or broil el-
ements. Although these surfaces may be dark in
color, they can still be hot enough to burn.
7. Other oven areas can become hot enough to cause
burns, such as vent openings, window, oven door
and oven racks.
8. Do not use oven cavities for storage space.
9. Do not drape towels or other materials on the oven
door handle. These items may contact an element
or become too hot and ignite.
10. Do not use aluminum foil to cover the broiler grid.
The foil can trap grease on top of the grid, causing
it to ignite.
11. Do not attempt to clean the gasket located on the
inside of the oven door. Cleaning the gasket may
cause damage. This gasket is required to seal the
oven.
Safety Procedures
Due to the nature of cooking, fires can occur as a re-
sult of overcooking or excessive grease. Use the fol-
lowing procedures to extinguish a fire in the unlikely
event one occurs:
Oven Fires

3. As an added precaution turn off electricity at main
circuit breaker or fuse box.
4. Allow food or grease to burn itself out in oven.
