Filling the pan with too much fat can cause spillovers when food is added.Accessible parts may become hot when the broiler is in use.Do not place food or cookware on the bottom of the oven cavity. Doing so will cause permanent damage to the oven bottom finish.When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.Do not stare at the hob elements.The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.Replace oven racks before turning the oven on to prevent burns.Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or any other material, or place anything on the bottom of the oven.
