Protective liners—Do not use aluminum
foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any
other materials or devices to line oven
bottom, oven racks, or any other part
of the appliance . Only use aluminum
as recommended for baking, such as
lining cookware or as a cover placed on
food . Any other use of protective liners
or aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire or a short circuit .
Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some
models) . Stand to the side of the appliance
when opening the door of a hot oven . Let
hot air or steam escape before you remove
or replace food in the oven .
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed .
Touching surfaces in this area when the
oven is on may cause severe burns . Do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent . These items can melt
or ignite .
Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool . If rack must be moved while oven
is hot, do not let potholder contact hot
burner or element in oven . Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition . Remove all cookware and
utensils before moving the rack .
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert .
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler . Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite .
Do not cook food on the oven bottom .
Always cook in proper cookware and
always use the oven racks .
