you are not watching the oven.

■ Always keep combustible wall coverings,

curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your oven.

■ Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance
from your oven.

■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils

and canned food a safe distance away
from your oven.

■ Teach children not to play with the

controls or any other part of the oven.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors

can lead to broken or shattered glass.

■ Do not store flammable materials in

an oven.

■

CAUTION: Items of interest to

children should not be stored in cabinets
above an oven; children climbing on the
oven to reach items could be seriously
injured.

■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging

garments while using the appliance.
Be careful when reaching for items
stored in cabinets over the oven.
Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surfaces or
heating elements and may cause severe
burns.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or

damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

■ For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate in
or near the oven.

■ Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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.

WARNING!

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

■ Do not touch the heating elements or the

interior surface of the 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 any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent

openings, surfaces near the openings,
crevices around the oven door, the edges
of the window and metal trim parts above
the door.

■ REMEMBER : The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

■ Stand away from the oven when opening

the oven door. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.

■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in

the oven, follow the manufacturer’s
directions.

■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in an oven can ignite.

■ Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.

■ After broiling, always take the broiler pan

out of the oven and clean it. Leftover
grease in the broiler pan can catch fire
next time you use the pan.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in

or near your oven.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s

Manual.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line oven

bottoms, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of
aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
