■
Keep hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.
■
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
■
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan on surface unit by covering pan
completely with well-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside a
pan can be put out by covering with
baking soda or, if available, a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
■
Do not touch heating elements or interior
surface of oven. These surfaces may be hot
enough to burn even though they are dark
in color. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact surface units, areas
nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
■
Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop and areas facing the cooktop,
oven vent opening and surfaces near the
opening, and crevices around the oven
door. Remember: The inside surface of the
oven may be hot when the door is opened.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Stand away from range when opening oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns
to hands, face and/or eyes.
■
Don’t heat unopened food containers in
the oven. Pressure could build up and the
container could burst, causing an injury.
■
Keep oven free from grease buildup.
■
Place oven shelf in desired position while
oven is cool. If shelves must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact
heating elements in the oven.
■
Pulling out shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It
is also a precaution against burns from
touching hot surfaces of the door or
oven walls.
■
When using cooking or roasting bags in
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
■
Keep the oven vent ducts unobstructed.
