IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important Safety Instructions

^WARNING

General

' Read all instructions before

using the oven.

' Install or locate the oven only

in accordance with the pro vided Installation Instructions. The oven must be installed by a qualified installer. The oven must be properly connected to electri cal supply and grounded.

’ CAUTION: Do not store things

children might want above the oven. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.

' Do not leave children alone or

unattended in area where the

oven is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the oven. They could be burned or injured.

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or not working prop

erly.

Do not use the oven for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

Use the oven only for its intended use as described in this manual.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• 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 an 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 oven, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the oven door and window, could also become hot enough to cause burns.

•Do not wear loose or hanging

garments when using the oven. They could ignite if they touch a hot heating element and you could be burned.

Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth

for a potholder. It could catch on fire.

Keep oven vents unobstructed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot con tents could cause burns and con tainer particles could cause injury.

• Do not store flammable materials

on or near the oven. The fumes

can create an explosion and/or fire

hazard.

When using the oven

_____________

• Always position oven rack(s) in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be removed while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

• Use care when opening oven door.

Let hot air or steam escape before

removing or replacing food.

Grease

_________________________

• Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool

before attempting to handle it.

• Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Smother flaming pan by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside

of pan can be extinguished with

baking soda or, if available, a

multipurpose dry chemical or foam-

type extinguisher.

Care and cleaning

• Do not use oven cleaners in continuous-cleaning oven model. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

• Do not clean door heat seal.

It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage

or move the seal. Clean only parts

recommended in this Use and Care

Guide.

^WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

•Always position oven rack(s) in desired location before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.

For best air circulation

Hot air must circulate around the pans in the

oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

• Place the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

• For best results, allow VA to 2 inches

(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).

• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at

one time.

Use the following as a guide to determine

where to place the pans:

One pan

Place in the center of the oven rack.

Two pans

Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.

Three or four pans

Place in opposite corners on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.

USING YOUR OVEN

Using aluminum foil for baking

Use aluminum foii to catch spiiiovers from pies or casseroies:

• Place the foil on the oven rack below the

rack with the food. Turn up foil edges and

make sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm)

larger all around than the dish holding the

food.

• Do not cover the entire rack with alumi

num foil. It will reduce air circulation and

cause poor cooking results.

• Do not line oven bottom or entire oven

rack with foil or other liners. Poor baking

will result.

^WARNING

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard

Do not allow foil to touch the heating

elements.

Failure to follow this precaution could result in electrical shock or fire hazard

and damage to the elements.
