Important Safety Instructions, continued
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by
children.
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is
not working properly, or if it has been damaged.
This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service
personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
Do not cover or block any of the openings on this appliance.
Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use near water – for
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, etc.
Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles or spattered oils
stuck to the oven walls or floor can cause paint damage and reduce
the efficiency of the oven.
Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
When cleaning door and oven surfaces, use only mild, nonabrasive
soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven:
a. Do not overcook food. Watch appliance carefully if paper, plastic,
or other combustible materials are inside.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from plastic cooking bags before placing
bags in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn
the oven off, disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at
the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d. Do not use the oven compartment for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the oven when
not in use.
Do not try to preheat oven or operate while empty.
Do not cook without the glass tray in place on the oven floor. Food will
not cook properly without the tray.
Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles. The
containers can break.
Dishes and containers can become hot. Handle with care.
Carefully remove container coverings, directing steam away from
hands and face.
Remove lids from baby food before reheating. After heating baby
food, stir well and test temperature by tasting before serving.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or
extension cords are available and may be used with caution.
Do not operate any other heating or cooking appliance beneath this
appliance.
Do not mount unit over or near any portion of a heating or cooking
appliance.
Do not mount over a sink.
Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance when it is in
operation.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded. Plug the three-prong
power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard 115-120
voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this
circuit.
