OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Do NOT operate the convection fan during the initial pre-heat of the oven or while broiling.
 The Platinum™ Series oven operates with an OPEN FLAME. Improper use of the oven may result in
a FIRE HAZARD. Please review page 28 for more safety instructions.
 Do NOT cover the bottom of the oven floor with aluminum foil or any oven liner.
 Only use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not
allow potholders to touch hot burner areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky material as a potholder.
 Do NOT heat unopened food containers or jarred products like baby food in the oven. The built-up
pressure may cause the container to explode.
 Keep the oven door closed at all times when lighting the oven and broiling. Open only to insert or
remove food.
 Do NOT cover an entire oven rack with any material such as aluminum foil. It will block airflow
throughout the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,
creating a fire hazard.
 Do NOT use a silicone mat on the bottom of the oven. This will block airflow throughout the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
 Do NOT place any pot, pan or food directly on the oven floor when baking.
 Do NOT put your face near the infrared broiler.
 Do NOT store food, pots or pans, cooking equipment or containers in the oven when not in use.
 Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease in the oven may ignite.
