READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(cont')
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN.
Heating elements may be hot even though they
are dark in color. 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 heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven
doors, and windows of oven doors.
• Use Care When Opening Door.
Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers.
Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst
and result in injury.
• Be certain all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating.
Keep plastics, clothes, and paper away from parts
of the appliance that may become hot.
• DO NOT force the door open.
This can damage the automatic door locking
system. Use care when opening the oven door
after the self cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of
the oven when opening the door to allow hot air
or steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY
HOT.
• DO NOT use a steel-wool pad.
It will SCRATCH the surface.
• DO NOT use harsh etching, abrasive cleaners
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the surface.
Scratches may cause the glass to shatter.
• Be careful when removing and lifting the door.
• DO NOT lift the door by the handle.
The door is very heavy.
• DO NOT step or sit on the door.
Install the anti-tip bracket packed with range.
- The range could be tipped and injury might
result from spilled hot liquid, food, or the range
itself.
- If the range is pulled away from the wall for
cleaning, service, or any other reason, ensure
that the anti-tip bracket is properly re-engage
when the range is pushed back against the wall.
WARNING
• NEVER use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• DO NOT use water on grease fires.
Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven
door closed and turn the oven off. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire or
use a fire extinguisher.
• Use dry pot holders only.
Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let
the pot holder touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Storage in or on appliance.
Flammable materials should not be stored
in an oven or near surface elements.
• Wear proper apparel.
Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.
