DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns.
▶ During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials contact heat-
ing elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appli-
ance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among
these surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near
these openings and oven doors.
Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam es-
cape before removing or replacing food.
▶ Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly
and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape.
▶ Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure
there are no children or pets near the appliance.
▶ After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with
your cooking.
▶ Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or clean-
ing purposes.
▶ Do not leave open doors unattended.
CAUTION
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evapo-
rates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as
the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven.
▶ Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open
the oven door carefully.
Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
