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
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.
