IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do Not allow aluminum foil or the temperature probe to contact heating elements.
• Before replacing your oven light bulb, switch off the electrical power to the
oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so can result in
severe personal injury, death, or electrical shock.
PAN PLACEMENT
• Do not place food or cookware on the bottom of the oven cavity. Doing so will
cause permanent damage to the oven bottom finish.
DEEP FAT FRYERS
• Use extreme caution when moving or disposing of hot grease.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir together before heating.
• Use a deep fat thermometer, if possible, to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.
• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling
the pan with too much fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
SAFETY DURING USE
• Do not touch the oven racks while they are hot.
• If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the potholder
contact the hot heating element in the oven.
• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the oven or
the center warming element. Cookware will be hot.
• Use caution with the TIMED BAKE or DELAYED TIMED BAKE features. Use
the automatic timer when cooking cured or frozen meats and most fruits
and vegetables. Foods that can easily spoil, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or
poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they
should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and
should be removed promptly when cooking is complete. Eating spoiled food
can result in sickness from food poisoning.
• Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the oven off. If
the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher.
