Fire safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the
following precautions.
• Do not store, place, or use
flammable or combustible
materials such as paper, plastic, pot holders, linens,
curtains, gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids
near the range.
• Do not wear
loose fitting or hanging garments while
using the range.
•
To avoid grease buildup,
regularly clean
the vents.
• Do not let
pot holders or other flammable materials
touch a heating element. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloths in place of a pot holder.
• Do not use
water on a grease fire. To put out a grease fire, turn off the heat source and
smother the fire with a tight-fitting lid or use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
•
If a grease fire should occur in the oven,
turn off the oven
by pressing the
OFF/CLEAR
button.
Keep
the oven door closed until the fire goes out. If necessary,
use a
multipurpose
dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher
.
• Do not heat
unopened food containers. The buildup of pressure may cause the containers
to burst and result in injury.
• NEVER use
this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. Do not use the oven
for storage. Paper and other flammable items stored in the oven can ignite.
• Do not
leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Do not use
the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, newspapers can catch on fire.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE 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 contact 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. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, the oven door, and the window of the oven door.
