• Do not touch the surface units, 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
surface units, areas nearby surface units or any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces
near the opening, crevices around the oven door,
the edges of the door window and metal trim parts
above the door.

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.

• Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

precaution against burns from touching the hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
