Important:
Special Door Care Instructions - Most oven doors contain glass
that can break. Do not close the oven door until all the oven
racks are fully in place. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or
any other object. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the
glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of
breakage at a later time.
