„ Do not store or use flammable materials in or near
an oven, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens,
wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids.
„ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. These garments may ignite if
they contact hot surfaces, causing severe burns.
„  Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the oven. Grease in
the oven or near the oven may ignite.
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
„ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a
flaming pan.
„ If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother
the fire by closing the oven door and turning the
oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
„  If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn
the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not
force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-
clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame
from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in severe burns.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS
TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING:
„ Stand away from the oven when opening the oven
door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
„ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
„  Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in
the oven may ignite.
„  Place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.
„ When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
„ Pulling out the standard racks to their stop-locks
or the extension rack to its fully open position
is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
„  Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in
an oven can ignite.
„  Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones,
or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These
items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to
the product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
