DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns.
▶ During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials contact heat-
ing elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appli-
ance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among

ing purposes.

the oven door carefully.
The oven racks and the oven cavity surfaces become very
hot during cooking.
Place oven racks in the desired positions before turning
▶
oven on.
