GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
WARNING
Ŷ
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlets and outlets
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion. Air openings
are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top
and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom
of the range under the warming drawer, lower
oven drawer or kick panel.
Ŷ
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 surface
burners, burner grate, or oven heating element.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of pot holders.
Ŷ
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. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces
include the burners, grates, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening and crevices around
the oven door.
Ŷ
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.
Ŷ
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to
at least an internal temperature of 160°F and
poultry to at least an internal temperature of
180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.
Ŷ
Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover
the oven bottom, drip pans or anywhere in the
oven, except as described in this manual. Oven
liners can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage
to the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
WARNING
Ŷ
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. If necessary, use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Ŷ
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, turn
the oven off and keep the door closed until the
fire goes out. If necessary, use a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.
Ŷ
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn
the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do
not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air
at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst
of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in severe burns.
