IMPORTANT SAFETy INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
OVEN
When opening the door of a hot oven, stand away from the range. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands,
face and eyes.
WARNING
NEVER
block any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
y
DO NOT
heat food in closed containers. Pressure inside the container could increase and burst, causing an injury.
y
DO NOT
use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in this manual. Doing so could create a fire hazard or
cause damage to the range.
y
DO NOT
use the oven for storage. Items stored in the oven can catch on fire.
y
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
y
Insert the oven racks in the desired position while the oven is cool.
y
To prevent burns when removing food, slide racks out until the stop engages, then remove food items.
This may also protect you from getting burnt from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
y
When placing or removing a griddle, always wear oven mitts.
y
When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
y
Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.
y
Always remove the broiler pan from the range after you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used
without removing the grease from the broiler pan.
y
If meat is too close to the flame while broiling, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.
y
Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly to minimize the possibility of grease fires.
y
If you should have a grease fire in the broiler pan, touch the “UPPER CLEAR/OFF” or “LOWER CLEAR/OFF” key, and keep
the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.
y
For safety and better cooking performance, always bake and broil with the oven door closed.
Open door baking or broiling can cause damage to the knobs or valves.
DO NOT
leave the oven door open during cooking or cool down.
