NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during
cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven
use.
•
Accessible parts (e.g. oven door, oven cavity,
dishes, accessories and especially the grill heating
element) may become hot during use. Use dry pot
holders or oven mitts when removing container,
food and oven accessories from the oven and
be careful not to touch the oven cavity to prevent
burns.
•
Use care when opening door. Avoid steam burns
by directing steam away from the face and hands.
Always stand back from the oven when opening it.

Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering
and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags

cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.

NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or
other items.

Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.

Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
