IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING OVEN
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the oven when opening the door of a
hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts clear. Touching surfaces in
this area when the oven is on may cause severe
burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or
ignite.
• Always handle oven racks when the oven is cool.
Place oven racks in desired positions while the
oven is cool. if a rack must be moved while the
oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition.
Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all bakeware and
utensils before moving the rack.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.
• Do not use aluminum foil or other protective liners
to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation
of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or
fire.

in proper bakeware and always use the over racks
