IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Never use yo
ur appliance for warming or heating
the room.
• Use care
when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the oven when opening the door of a
hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
• Kee
p oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-
sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items can melt or ignite.
• Pla
cement of Oven Racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack

potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven. Remove all
cookware and utensils before moving the rack.
• Do n
ot use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.

ctive Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or

in proper cookware and always use the over racks.
