IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A COOKING
CENTER—CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE
COOKING CENTER TO REACH ITEMS
COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Teach children not to play with the controls or
any other part of the cooking center.
• Wear proper clothing. Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot heating elements and
may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can
catch fire on a hot element.
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders,
and other linens a safe distance from your oven.
• Always keep wooden spoons and plastic
utensils and canned food a safe distance
away from your oven.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains
or drapes a safe distance from your oven.
• Do not store flammable material in an oven or
near the cooking center.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils,
or food in the oven when not in use.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
• Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the cooking center.
• Do not touch heating elements or interior
surface of the oven. These surfaces may be
hot enough to burn even though they are dark
in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact, any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time
for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include
oven vent
openings, surfaces near
the openings, and
crevices around the oven door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly
and always cook the meat to an internal temperature
of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be present in the meat,
it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on surface unit
by covering pan completely with
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside a pan can be put out by covering
with baking soda or, if available, a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
