SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

Read before operating your oven

All appliances -- regardless of the manufacturer w have the

potential through improper or careless use to create safety prob-
lems. Therefore the following safety precautions should be

observed:

1. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.

2. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area

where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to

sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance.

5. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing

should be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service

Contractor.

6. Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven.

7. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or

use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let

potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.

9. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.

10. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pres-
sure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

11. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

12. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let

potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

13. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or

move the gasket.

14. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in

or around any part of the oven.

broil and cleaning cycles. If not, call aserviceman before self-

cleaning again.

18. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any oven

become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of 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 sur-
faces near these openings, oven doors, windows of oven

doors.
