Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders
because they can get caught on appliance parts.

items could ignite and cause burns.
ALWAYS
place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool.

ALWAYS
avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack
must be moved while hot, use a dry pot-holder.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other
utensils and wipe up excessive spill-overs to prevent excessive
