Important Safety Instructions
- FLAMMABLE MATERIALS SHOULD NEVER BE STORED IN THE OVEN OR NEAR THE
SURFACE BURNERS.
- GREASE IS FLAMMABLE: Allow hot grease to cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow
deposits of grease to accumulate.
- DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES: Turn the appliance off and smother the fire with baking
soda or use a dry chemical or a foam-type extinguisher.
- USE ONLY DRY POTHOLDERS: Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
steam. Do not allow potholders to touch hot surface burners. Do not use towels or other bulky cloth in
place of potholders.

with burners until they have completely cooled.
- DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS OR THE INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE: Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. The oven cavity can be hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch areas near burners or the inside of the oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Do not allow garments or any flammable material to come into contact with hot
surfaces. If personal clothing or hair catches on fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish the
flames.
- PLACE THE OVEN RACKS IN THE DESIRED POSITION WHILE THE OVEN IS COOL: If a rack
must be removed while the oven is hot, do not allow the potholders to come in contact with the broiler
burner.

removing or placing foods in the oven.
