SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■ Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■ Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the
Room.
■ Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not
be left alone or unattended in area where oven is in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the oven.
■ Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the oven.
■ User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of
the oven unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
■ Storage in Oven – Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven.
■ Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.
■ Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
■ Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury.
■ Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
■ Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks
in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact
hot heating element in oven.
■ DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to
cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven
doors, and windows of oven doors.
