General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your oven, follow basic safety precautions,
including the following:
Important Safety Instructions
If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact
your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged
appliance.
Make sure that the oven has been properly installed
and grounded by a qualified installer according to
the accompanying installation instructions. Have the
installer show you the location of the circuit breaker
panel or fuse box so that you know where and how to
turn off power to the oven.
Do not install, repair or replace any part of the oven
unless specifically recommended in the literature
accompanying it. A qualified service technician should
perform all other service.
Before performing any type of service, make sure that
the electrical power to the oven is turned off at the
circuit breaker or fuse box.
Only use the oven for cooking tasks expected of a
home appliance as outlined in this manual. This oven is
not intended for commercial use.
DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE OVEN DURING
OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
Make sure individuals who use the oven are able to
operate it properly.
Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or
climb on any part of the oven including the door(s).
Doing so may cause tipping, damage, serious injury or
death.
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area
around the oven. Do not allow children to play with the
controls, pull on the handle(s) or touch other parts of
the oven.
Do not store items of interest to children above the
oven. Children could be burned or injured while
climbing on the appliance.
Do not tamper with the controls.
To prevent the unit from tipping forward and to provide
a stable installation, make sure the oven is secured to
the cabinet according to the accompanying installation
instructions.
Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby
food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the
container to burst and cause injury.
Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam
explosion may result. Smother any flames with a lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Use baking soda or a foam
extinguisher to extinguish flaming grease. Be careful to
avoid getting burned.
warning
Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
plastic and cloth away from and out of the oven. Do not
allow pot holders to touch hot surfaces.
Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the
oven. Do not allow clothing to come into contact with
the interior of the oven and surrounding areas during
and immediately after use.
Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
Do not use the oven for storage.
Clean and maintain the oven regularly as instructed in
this manual. Keep the entire oven free of grease that
could catch fire.
Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during
the self clean cycle. They will be hot.
Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check
the manufacturer’s recommendations before use to
determine if a utensil is suitable for use in an oven.
Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware are not
suitable. Personal injury or damage may result from the
improper use of cookware.
Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot
air or steam escape before looking or reaching inside.
Use extreme caution if adding water to food in the
oven. The steam can cause serious burns or scalds.
Use only dry pot holders when removing food and
cookware from the oven. Wet pot holders can cause
steam burns.
For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without
the convection filter installed. When the filter is not
installed, the spinning fan blades at the back of the
oven are exposed.
Do not allow food to sit in the oven for more than one
hour before or after cooking. Eating spoiled food can
result in food poisoning.
Do not leave objects that could melt, such as aluminum
foil, the meat probe or cookie sheets on the bottom of
the oven.
Do not allow the broil element on the ceiling of the
oven chamber to be covered up with cookie sheets,
pots pans etc. Do not line the oven with aluminum foil
or other materials. Doing so may cause a fire hazard or
damage the oven.
Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to
birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room
during cooking.
