Safety and warnings

Poisoning Hazard
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack or the oven floor with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Clean the appliance with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface. Follow the directions of the cleaner
manufacturer.
Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the
room.
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the appliance.
Failure to follow this advice may result in poisoning or death.
Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot during use.
Do not touch burners, areas near burners, the grill, griddle,
grease drip-pans, heating elements or interior surfaces of oven
–
These may be hot enough to cause burns even though they
are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact these parts and
surfaces until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other parts
and surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns - among these areas are the grates, back trim and oven
vents at the back of the cooktop, front edge, surfaces adjacent to
the cooktop, and the oven door.
Use only dry potholders
–
Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth.
Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.
