How do you use an oven safely?

1. Read the owner's manual for your oven carefully. This will help you understand how to operate your oven safely and efficiently.

2. Always make sure the oven is turned off before cleaning it. This will help prevent you from accidentally turning on the oven and burning yourself.

3. Do not leave food unattended in the oven. Food can overheat and catch fire, especially if it is left in the oven for too long.

4. Do not use metal utensils in the oven. Metal utensils can conduct heat, which can cause them to become hot and burn you. They can also damage the inside of the oven.

5. Keep the oven clean. A dirty oven can be a fire hazard. Clean the oven regularly with a solution of baking soda and water.

6. Never put plastic or paper products in the oven. These materials can catch fire easily.

7. Do not place anything on top of the oven. This can block the heat vents and cause the oven to overheat.

8. Always supervise children when they are using the oven. Children should not be allowed to use the oven unsupervised.
