During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window. • Wear proper apparel-Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.

Fat or grease may catch fire 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. IMPORTANT Do not attempt to operate the appliance during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off and the power resumes, the appliance will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function. • Do not heat unopened food containers Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury. • Remove the oven door from any unused appliance if it is to be stored or discarded. Important instructions for using your oven • Use care when opening oven door-Stand to the side of the appliance 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.
