AWARNING!
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
• 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 wanning 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 controls off.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven offor by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your oven.
[] Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
[] 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 unobswucted.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. Ifshelves 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.
• Do not touch the heating elements or the
interior surface of the oven. These surfaces
maybe 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 suffident time for
cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces indude oven vent

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads,
Forovenswithoutapreheatindicatorlightor
tone,preheat 10minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each
other or the walls of the oven. If you need
to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other, and leave
approximately 11/_-between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.
Cutsli_sin the foiljust like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Aluminumfoilmayalsobeusedtocatcha

Never entirely cover asheifwith
aluminum foil. This willdisturb the heat
circuladon and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.
