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 fuse or junction 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. 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 for use in
the oven. 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(s) 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, such as aluminum foil, the meat •
probe or cookie sheets on the bottom of the oven. Do not
allow the broil elements on the ceiling of the oven chamber
to be covered up. Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or
other materials. Doing so may cause the oven or the items
in it to overheat, creating a fire hazard or causing property
damage.
Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds. •
Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during
cooking.
