Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use
water on cooking fires.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily
accessible near the oven.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN -
Heating elements may be hot even if 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, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with heating
elements or 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. These
surfaces include oven vent openings, surfaces near these openings and oven
doors.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the door
slowly and only 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 unit. After the hot
air and/or steam is released, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless
necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
Do not heat or warm sealed food containers. BuildĆup 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 the oven is hot, do not let pot holders touch the heating elements.
Always use dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
Never prepare food with large quantities of high proof alcoholic beverages. Steam
containing alcohol can ignite inside the appliance. Only use small quantities of high
proof alcoholic beverages, and use caution when opening the appliance door.
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal responsibility
of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation
of the appliance by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appliance,
especially a door, warming drawer or storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult.
Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or
not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION - Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance,
in cabinets above an appliance, or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an
appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
