OVEN
• Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door.
Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• Never “open door broil” with children nearby.
They could quickly come into contact with a
hot oven interior surface, causing severe burns.
• Children in walkers, or children crawling, can
be attracted to the round oven door handle and
may grab and open the oven door.
This can
result in injury from the door being pulled
open on a child, or severe burns if the oven is in
use and hot.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
• Do not clean the door gasket.
The door gasket
is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care
Guide.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods.
It is also a
precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven
except as described in this guide.
Misuse could
result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If
overheated, they can catch on fire.
• Do not use oven for a storage area.
Items stored
in an oven can ignite.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
• Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in ovens.
• When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite.
Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan
out of the range and clean it.
Leftover grease
in the broiler pan can catch fire next time
you use the pan.
• If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan,
turn the oven off and keep the oven door
closed to contain fire until it burns out.
