SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms, except as suggested in this guide.
Improper installation of aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly— meat to
at least an INTERNAL 160°F and poultry to
at least an INTERNAL 180°F. Cooking to
these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
• Before performing any service,
DISCONNECT THE OVEN POWER
SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD
DISTRIBUTION PANEL
BY REMOVING
THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Do not leave children alone— children should
not be left alone or unattended in an 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 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 the oven vent
openings and surfaces near the openings,
crevices around the oven door, the edges of
the door window and metal trim parts above
the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED
IN CABINETS ABOVE A WALL 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 over the oven.
Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with oven 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
oven heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• 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.
• Never “open door broil” with children nearby.
They could quickly come into contact with a
hot oven interior surface, causing severe burns.
