Safety Instructions Operating Instructions GEAppliances.com UPPER OVEN Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes. s Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite. s Keep the oven free from grease buildup. s Place the oven racks in the desired position while the oven is cool. s Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest position is not designed to slide. s Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury. WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. s Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven except as described in this manual. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the range. s When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions. s Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire. s Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens. s Always remove any broiler pan from range as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan. s When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups. s Make sure any broiler pan is in place correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires. s If you should have a grease fire in a broiler pan, press the CLEAR/OFF pad, and keep the oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out. s For safety and proper cooking performance, always bake and broil with the oven door closed. s Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven drawer pan in the upper oven.
