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.
9 CAUTION
To avoid possible injury or damage
to the appliance, ensure rack is
installed exactly per installation
instructions and not backwards or
upside down.
