OVEN WARNINGS
WARNING
NEVER cover any holes or passages in the bottom oven cover. NEVER cover
an entire oven rack with aluminum foil or like material. Covering the bottom
cover and/or racks blocks airflow through the oven and could cause carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Do not use aluminum foil or foil liners anywhere in the oven, except as
described in this manual.
Misuse traps heat and could cause a fire hazard or damage the range.
Always follow the manufacturer’s directions when using cooking or roasting
bags in the oven.
DO NOT clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Care should be taken not to damage or move the gasket.
Do not strike the oven glass. Do not spray water onto the oven glass when the
oven is on or just after you have turned the oven off.
Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The
escaping hot air and steam can cause burns.
Do not use the oven for storage. Stored items can be damaged or ignite.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Reposition oven racks only when the oven is cool to prevent burning or
personal injury.
Do not heat unopened containers. Pressure in the container could build up,
resulting in an explosion and/or personal injury.
Only use glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.
This prevents fire flare-ups from stored grease buildup.
Do not broil meat too close to the burner flame. Trim excess fat from meat
before cooking. Meat fat can ignite, causing a fire hazard.
If a grease fire should occur in the oven, turn off the oven by pressing the
Clear/Off pad. Keep the oven door closed to put out the fire.
Always bake and/or broil with the oven door closed. Broiling with the door
partially or fully open can damage the surface burner control knobs and even
the kitchen counter.
Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not use the oven to dry paper, clothes, etc. Such items might catch fire if
overheated.
