SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
iiiiiiiiiiii_iiii
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

Never place cooking utensils or any other items
on the oven floor. There is a heating element
beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the
oven floor may cause the oven to overheat,
resulting in damage to the oven and risk of
damage or fire to cabinets.
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.

Place the oven rack in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If racks 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 rack 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 any broiler pan out

broiler pan can catch fire next time you use the
pan.
Never leavejars 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 the oven
