5. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACE OF OVEN.
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials come into contact with
the heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns, for example, oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven
doors, and oven glass window.
6. Take care to reset all worktop/oven/broiler burner controls to the OFF position
after use of the appliance.
The ranges are equipped with commercial grade shelves and an enamel cooking
tray. Shelves are mounted on the appropriate guides situated on the sides of the
oven compartment. Insert the shelf between the top and bottom guide in any of the 5
positions available.
To keep the oven as clean as possible, cook on the tray.
When available, always follow recipe book directions. Personal experience will help
to determine any variation in the values. In any case, it is recommended to follow the
instructions of the specific recipe being used.
NOTE:
If you have a griddle, you may want to clean it, but it does not need to be
seasoned before use.
