• Keep Oven vent Ducts Unobstructed.
The oven is vented at the front above the oven
door or through the rear of 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/drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack
before removing rack. 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 oven element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).
• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat
to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
•
Do not cover your broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped) grid 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.
