Safety
Instructions.
co.t.
NEVER wear garments
made of flam-
mable 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 pot holders. Always avoid reach-
ing into the oven to add or remove food. If
a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry
pot holder. Always turn the oven off at the
end of cooking.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before moving or
replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING:
Follow
food manufacturer's
instructions. If a plas-
tic frozen food container and/or its cover
distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged
during cooking, immediately
discard the
food and its container. The food could be
contaminated.
NEVER use aluminum
foil to cover an
oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only as
directed in this guide.
U e.si|
Safe y
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles
that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid
using unstable, warped, easily tipped or
loose-handled
pans. Also avoid using
pans, especially small pans, with heavy
handles
as they could be unstable
and
easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move
when
filled
with food
may also be
hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers.
Pan
size is particularly
important
in deep fat
frying. Be sure pan will accommodate
the
volume of food that is to be added as well
as the bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials
and spillage due to uninten-
tional contact with the utensil, do not
extend handles over adjacent surface burn-
ers. Always turn pan handles toward the
side or back of the appliance, not out into
the room where they are easily hit or
reached by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could
damage the utensil and the appliance.
Follow
the manufacturer's
directions
when using oven cooking bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass / ceramic,
ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop or oven usage without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
Follow manufacturer's
instructions when
using glass.

Wami.g
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposi-
tion 65) requires the Governor of Califor-
nia to publish a list of substances known
to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive
harm, and requires
busi-
nesses to warn customers of potential ex-
posures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that the burning of gas can result in low-
level exposure to some of the listed sub-
stances, including benzene, formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or liquid petro-
leum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burn-
ers will minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances
can also be
minimized by properly venting the burn-
ers to the outdoors.
IMPORTANT
NOTICE
REGARDING
PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from
the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory
system. Fumes re-
leased during an oven self-cleaning cycle
may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released
due to overheated
cooking oil,
fat, margarine
and overheated
non-stick
cookware may be equally harmful.
