■ Do not store flammable materials in
an oven.
■ CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above an oven; children climbing on the
oven to reach items could be seriously
injured.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Be careful when reaching for items stored
in cabinets over the oven. Flammable
material could be ignited if brought in
contact with hot surfaces or 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.
■ For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in
or near the oven.
■ Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off.
■ Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
in or near your oven.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
■ Stand away from the oven when opening
the oven door. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags in
the oven, follow the manufacturer’s
directions.
■ Do not touch the heating elements or the
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,
crevices around the oven door, the edges
of the window and metal trim parts above
the door.
■ REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
