ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Protective Liners: Do not use aluminum foil or any
other material to line the oven bottom. Improper
installation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
• DO NOT allow aluminum foil or the temperature
probe to contact heating elements.
• Before replacing the oven light bulb, switch off the
electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit
breaker. Failure to do so can result in severe personal
injury, death, or electrical shock.

PAN PLACEMENT

• Do not place food or cookware on the bottom of the
oven cavity. Doing so will cause permanent damage
to the oven bottom finish.
DEEP FAT FRYERS
• Use extreme caution when moving or disposing of hot
grease.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir together
before heating.
• Use a deep fat thermometer, if possible, to prevent
overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan with too
much fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

SAFETY DURING USE

• Do not touch oven racks while they are hot.
• If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, use
potholders or oven mitts. Do not let the potholders
or oven mitts contact the hot heating element in the
oven.
• Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing
food from the oven or the center warming element.
Cookware will be hot.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Use caution with the TIMED BAKE or DELAYED
TIMED BAKE features. Use the automatic timer
when cooking cured or frozen meats and most fruits
and vegetables. Foods that can easily spoil, such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in
the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should
not stand in the oven for more than an hour before
cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when
cooking is complete. Eating spoiled food can result in
sickness from food poisoning.
• If an oven fire occurs, 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.
• If an oven fire occurs, DO NOT put water or flour on
the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can spread
a grease fire and cause personal injury.
• Do not use the broiler pan without the grid. DO NOT
cover the grid with aluminum foil.
• Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven
resistant lids only.
• If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self-clean the
oven before using it again. The oil could cause a fire.
• Wipe up heavy soil on the bottom of the oven before
using the Self Clean function.
• Use proper pan sizes. For smaller pots and pans, use
the smaller heating elements. For larger pots and pans,
use the larger heating elements. Select utensils that
have flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating
elements. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the heating element to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spills that
may ignite.
• Glazed cooking utensils: Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and should
not extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it
is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
