Flaming grease outside of pan can be extin­
guished with baking soda or, if available, a
multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
' Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.

Keep oven vents unobstructed.
Clean your oven regularly. See care and
cleaning instructions in this manual.

- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
' Read all instructions before using the oven.
' Install or locate the oven only in accordance with
the provided Installation Instructions. It is
recommended that the oven be installed by a
qualified installer. The oven must be properly
connected to electrical supply and grounded.
’ Do not operate the oven if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged.
' Do not use the oven for warming or heating the
room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a
fire could start.
' Use the oven only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
Do not wear loose or hanging garments when
using the oven. They could ignite if they touch a
heating element and you could be burned.
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 or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the oven may become hot
enough to cause burns; such as, the oven vent
opening, the surface near the vent opening, the
oven door and the oven door window.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp pot-
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a
potholder. They could catch on fire.
Do not heat unopened containers. They could
explode. The hot contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause injury.
Grease is flammable and should be handled
carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle
it. Wipe spill-overs immediately.
