Continued
l
Use care when opening oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
l
Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot con-
tents could cause burns and con-
tainer particles could cause injury.
l
Keep range vents unobstructed.
l
Always position oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven
is hot, do not let potholder contact
hot heating element in oven.
l
Do not clean door seal. It is essen-
tial for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or move
the seal. Clean only parts recom-
mended in this Use and Care
Guide.
l
Do not use oven cleaners. No com-
mercial oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any
part of the oven.
l
Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks and other utensils. Do
not use your oven to clean mis-
cellaneous parts.
l
Do not cook on broken cooktop.
If cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spill-overs may
penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
l
Clean cooktop with care. Some
cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
If a wet paper towel is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burns.
l
Do not store things children might
want above the range. Children
could be burned or injured while
climbing on it.
l
Do not touch surface units, areas
near surface units, heating ele-
ments or interior surfaces of oven.
Surface units and heating ele-
ments may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near
surface units and interior surfaces
of an oven become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact
surface units, areas near elements,
heating units or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces of the
range may become hot enough to
cause burns; such as, the oven
vent opening, the surface near the
vent opening, the cooktop, the
oven door and window.
