  • Never block the air vents. The oven may overheat and automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

  • Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

  • Use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven. The trays and racks are hot.
