Important instructions for using your
oven
• Use care when opening an oven door—Stand
to the side of the unit when opening the door of a
hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The
oven vents are located under the control panel
and in between the ovens. Touching the surfaces
in this area when the oven is operating may
cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic
or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent.
These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot use
extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the
rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the hot heating elements
in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert.
The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to
drain and be kept away from the high heat of the
broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven.
This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such
as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well
as fl ammable liquids. Do not store explosives,
such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance.
• Do not leave children alone—Children should
not be left alone or unattended in the area
where appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVENS OR
ANY AREAS NEAR THESE ZONE. ALL oven
heating elements may be hot even though they
are dark in color. Areas near surface zones may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
fl ammable materials touch these areas until they
have had suffi cient time to cool. Among these
areas are the oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven door and window.
• Wear proper apparel—Loose-fi tting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance. Do not let clothing
or other fl ammable materials contact hot
surfaces.
• Do not use water or fl our on grease fi res—
Smother the fi re with a pan lid, or use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Fat or grease may catch fi re if allowed to
become too hot.
• Use only dry potholders - Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers -
Buildup of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
Do not attempt to operate the unit during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn
off the unit. If the unit is not turned off and the
power resumes, the unit will begin to operate
again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock
and oven function.
IMPORTANT
• Remove the oven door from any unused
appliance if it is to be stored or discarded.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom, except as suggested in
the manual. Improper installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fi re.
