Burn Prevention
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, potholders, or
other flammable materials contact heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns. Among these
surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near these
openings and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing
to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly and slightly
to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep your face clear
of the opening and make sure there are no children or
pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or
steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut
unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do
not leave open doors unattended.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. Always use oven mitts, when the oven is warm. If a
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact the heating elements.
CAUTION
To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance,
ensure rack is installed exactly per installation
instructions and not backwards or upside down.
Always use 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.
WARNING
SCALDING HAZARD
Movement when opening the appliance door and when
removing the cookware can cause hot liquid to spray
out. Do not stand too close to the appliance when
opening it. Open appliance door carefully. Remove
cookware carefully. Keep children away.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear
loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,
scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol
content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of
burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven.
Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open
the oven door carefully.
WARNING
RISK OF SCALDING
Hot liquid may spill over the sides of cooking
accessories when they are removed from the oven
cavity. Carefully remove cooking accessories with oven
mitts.
WARNING

Hot steam can escape when you open the appliance
door. Steam is not visible at certain temperatures. Do not

Hot steam can leak during operation. Do not touch the
ventilation openings. Keep children away.
