RANGE COOKING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND HINTS
Never reach directly into a hot oven to add or remove cooking utensils. Instead pull the grid shelf out of its maximum
projection and load or remove utensils.
Oven gloves will be necessary on utensils removal.

USE ONLY 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 bukly cloth.

Although the range itself provides gentle radiation and convected warm air currents, it MUST NOT be used to increase
space heating by leaving the insulating covers permanently raised or the oven doors left open. This instruction is based
on safety considerations where accidents occur, as does the use of ovens for storage space.

WARNING: DO NOT HEAT A CLOSED GLASS OR METAL CONTAINER IN THE OVEN.

Pressure build-up in the container may cause it to burst and result in injury.
Use care when opening oven door - Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Keep oven ducts unobstructed.
