MPORTANT SAFETY
~STRUCTIONS
(continued)
●
Do not use water
on
grease fires.
Smother fire or
flame
or use a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can
be
smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off
or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-
type fire extinguisher.
●
Do not touch the heating elements or the
interior surface of the oven.
~ese
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 the oven vent
openings and surfaces near the openings, crevices
around the oven door, the edges of the door
window and metal trim parts above the door.
Remember:
The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
●
When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least
170°F.
This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.
Oven
●
Stand away from the oven when opening the
oven door. The 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 duct unobstructed.
●
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
●
Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
If
the shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let the pot holder
contact the heating elements.
●
Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is
also
a
precaution against
burns from touching the hot
surfaces of the door or the oven
walls.
●
When using
cooking or roasting bags in the
oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
●
Do
not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
●
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 on fire the next time
you use the pan.
●
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
on or near your oven.
●
Do
not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
Self-Cleaning Oven
●
Do
not clean the oven door gasket.
The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
● 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. Residue from oven cleaners will damage
the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle
is used.
●
Clean only parts listed in this
Use
and
Care Guide.
Q
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan, grid and other cookware.
● Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as
suggested
in this guide.
Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire.
o
Be
sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
●
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
