IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
•
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum
foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other
materials or devices to line oven bottom,
oven racks, or any other part of the
appliance. Only use aluminum as recom-
mended for baking, such as lining
cookware or as a cover placed on food.
Any other use of protective liners or
aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
•
Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some
models). 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.
Touching surfaces in this area when the
oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items can melt
or ignite.
•
Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven
in hot, do not let potholder contact hot
heating element in oven. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Remove all cookware and
utensils before moving the rack.
•
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping
fat to drain away from the high heat of
the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert
with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.
•
Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper cookware and
always use the oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR OVEN

part of the appliance, be sure all controls

parts free of grease that could catch fire.
Do not allow grease to accumulate.

fire.
•
Always follow the manufacturer’s recom-
mended directions for use of kitchen
cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that
excess residue from cleaners and aerosols

Grease should not be allowed to accumu-
late on the hood or filter. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning
vent hoods.

CLEANING OVENS
•

door gasket is essential for a good seal.
