To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
• Do not store flammable materials in or near the oven.
• Do not use water on a grease fire. Smother fire or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• It is highly recommended that a fire extinguisher be readily available and highly visible next to any cooking appliance.
• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend oven if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not
being used.
• If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed. Turn oven o and disconnect the circuit at the circuit
breaker box.
• Do not block any vent openings.
• Be sure the blower fan runs whenever the oven is in operation. If the fan does not operate, do not use the oven. Call an
authorized service center.
• For personal safety, wear proper clothing. Loose fitting or garments with hanging sleeves should never be worn while
using this appliance.
• Tie long hair so that it doesn’t hang loose.
• Do not touch interior surfaces of oven.
• During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the burners or the interior surfaces
of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns - among these surfaces are (identification of surfaces - for example, oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors).
• The trim on the top and sides of the oven door may become hot enough to cause burns.
• Use care when opening the door. Open the door slightly to let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
• Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot
holder contact the hot burners.
• Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder
touch burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniters clean and dry.
In the event that a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door. Wait at least 5 minutes before
using the cooktop.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop.
If the range cookers is near a window, be certain blow over or near the burners; they could catch on fire.
