Safety
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side
of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven/ warmer drawer.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located under the cooktop.
Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns.
Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items
could melt or ignite.
• Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven/warmer drawer (if equipped) is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven/
warmer drawer (if equipped). Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow
dripping fat to drain and be kept 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 touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to
break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing
and replacing light bulb.
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
!
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
alminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
