the oven vent or air intakes. Restriction of air flow to the
burner prevents proper performance and increases
carbon monoxide emission to unsafe levels.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for
several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause
burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the oven vent
or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to
cool.
CAUTION: Never use an
appliance as a step stool to
cabinets above. Misuse of
appliance doors or drawers,
such as stepping, leaning or
sitting on the door or drawer,
may result in possible
tipping of the appliance,
breakage of door, and
serious injuries.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the
bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power
to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical
shock.
Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen
food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is
otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard
the food and its container. The food could be
contaminated.
Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it
on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface
burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that
the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn
burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not
extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive
flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the
appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
Never leave a surface cooking operation unattended
especially when using a
high heat setting or when
deep fat frying. Boilovers
cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may
ignite. Clean up greasy
spills as soon as
possible. Do not use high
heat for extended cooking
operations.
Never heat an unopened container on the surface burner
or in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to
burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the
appliance.
Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should
never be used as pot holders because they can trail
across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on
appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool
before attempting to move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan.
Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from
accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under
the hood, turn the fan on.
Use caution when wearing garments made of flammable
material to avoid clothing
fires. Loose fitting or long
hanging-sleeved apparel
should not be worn while
cooking. Clothing may ignite
or catch utensil handles.
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food,
using dry sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reaching into
the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved
while hot, use a dry pot holder. Always turn the oven off at
the end of cooking.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
