Important safety instructions
OVEN
• DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE 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 ammable materials contact
the heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until
they have had sufcient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among
these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, the oven door, and the window of the oven door.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. The build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated,
newspapers can catch on re.
• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an
oven can ignite.
• Use care when opening the door. Let hot air or steam escape
before you remove food from or put food into the oven.
• Protective liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric
shock or re.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located
above the right rear surface unit. This area could become hot
during oven use. Never block this vent or place plastic or
heat-sensitive items on it.
• Placement of oven racks. Always place oven racks in the
desired location while the oven is cool. If the rack must be
moved while the oven is hot, use potholders. Do not let the
potholders come in contact with the hot heating element in
the oven.
• Do not allow aluminum foil or a meat probe to contact the
heating elements.
• During use, the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken
to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass. They can scratch the surface which
may result in the glass shattering.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the
power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off
and the power returns, the oven may begin to operate again. Food
left unattended could catch re or spoil.
