About Your Appliance
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on
and for several minutes after oven is turned off.
When the oven is in use, 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.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or
leaning on them) can result in potential hazards
and/or injuries.
• The appliance must be installed and electrically
grounded according to local codes. Have the
installer identify the location and shut-off valve on
the oven so you know where and how to turn off
gas if necessary.

should be very cold or frozen before it is placed in
the oven.
• DO NOT use foods containing baking powder or
yeast when automatic time baking. They will not
rise properly.
