operate it.

3. The fire department is being called.
4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Burn Prevention 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, potholders, or other flammable materials contact heating elements
or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfac-
es of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among these surfac-
es are oven vent openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the door
slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the
opening and make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After the release
of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless neces-
sary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause
the container to burst and cause injury.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.
Always use 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 other bulky cloth.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long hair so that it does not
hang loose, and do not wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as
ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Child Safety When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal responsibility
of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation
of the appliance by qualified persons.
