Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware. Items stored in the oven can catch on fire.
Do not use delayed baking for highly perishable foods such as dairy products, pork, poultry, or seafood.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Insert the oven racks in the desired position while the oven is cool.
To prevent burns when removing food, slide racks out until the stop engages, then remove food items. This may also protect you from getting burned by touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
When placing or removing oven racks, always wear oven mitts.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Use only glass cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.
For safety and better cooking performance, always bake with the oven door closed. Open door baking can cause damage to the knobs or valves. Do not leave the oven door open during cooking or while the oven is cooling down.
To protect against food-borne illnesses, cook meat and poultry thoroughly.
