Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes. s Keep the oven vent unobstructed. s Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the oven may ignite. s Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven. s When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions. s Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls. s Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite. s Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil may trap or reflect heat, leading to a shock or fire hazard. WARNING SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some models) The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven. Follow these instructions for safe operation. s Before operating the self-clean cycle, remove pans, shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the oven. Only gray porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other parts, such as drip pans or bowls. s Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and food soils from the oven. Excessive amount of grease may ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home. s If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician. s Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. s Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. WARNING WARMING DRAWER/LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (some models) s The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow in food while it is below 140°F. Do not put cold food in warming drawer. Do not heat food for more than 2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in foodborne illness. s Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite. s Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns. s Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam that escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes. s Do not use aluminum foil to line the warming drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and potentially cause a fire hazard. 5
