|MPI RTANT SAFETY STRU Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance. Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. Child Safety NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot. NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned. Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit. About Your Appliance Do not use the cooktop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils. The oven vent is located above the control panel. Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven door, areas around the oven door and oven window. Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock. Cooking Safety NEVER heat an unopened container in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance. Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should never be used as potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance parts. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood turn the fan on. NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles. Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry potholder. Always turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
