USING YOUR OVEN
(continued)
The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop. Do not
block the opening when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow
of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted.
The vent openings and nearby surfaces may become hot during baking and
broiling. Do not touch them.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—they may melt if left too close
to the vent.
Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to
the vent.
Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop and could
cause burns.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite
flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
