To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance if paper, plastic, or other com-
bustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking. Paper can char
or burn, and some plastics can melt if used
when heating foods.
b. Do not deep fry in the oven.
c. Test dinnerware or cookware before
using. See page 24. Some dishes
(melamine, Centura,@ etc.) absorb micro-
wave energy, becoming too hot to handle
and slowing cooking times. Remove wire
twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven. Cooking in metal
containers can damage the oven. So can
containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil
lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim.]
d. If materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and
disconnect the power cord, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
13.
Do not heat, store or use flammable
materials in or near the oven. Fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
14. Read and follow “Operating Safety Pre-
cautions” starting on page 22.
15.
Because of the automatic exhaust fan
feature, the following cautions must be
observed:
a. Do not leave the area when using your
cooktop at a high setting. Accidental fires
from boilovers or spattering on the surface
unit could spread, especially if the exhaust
fan is operating.
b. Do not allow grease and soil to build up
in the grease filter. Exhaust fan efficiency
will decrease and fire may result. Clean
often following the filter cleaning instruc-
tions on pages 19 and 20.
c. Do not change the cooktop or oven
lights without turning the power off at the
main power supply, (see page 21). Elec-
trical shock may result.
d. Do not flame foods on a cooktop surface
below this unit. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flame and cause personal in-
jury or property damage.
