IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the appliance. Children climbing on
the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Do not leave children alone. Children should not
be left alone or unattended in the area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR OVEN ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN UNTIL THEY
HAVE COOLED. The oven heating elements may be hot
even though the elements are dark in color. Areas near
the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other fl ammable materials touch these areas until they
have had suffi cient time to cool. Among these areas
are the oven vent openings, the surfaces near these
openings, oven door and window.
• Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fi tting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
WARNING
Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires.
Smother the fi re with a pan lid, or use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat
or grease may catch fi re if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Pot holders. Moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let the pot holders touch hot surface
units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of
a pot holder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Buildup
of pressure may cause the container to burst and
result in injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening an Oven Door —Stand to
the side of the appliance 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 Unobstructed. The wall oven
is vented at the center trim under the control panel.
Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is
operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items near the oven vent. These
items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks.
Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. Remove all utensils
from the rack before removing rack. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot
holders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition.
Do not let pot holders contact the hot oven element or
interior of the oven.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.
•
Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with
aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the
appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.
• Protective liners
—Do not use aluminum foil 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 fi re.
