Important Safety Instructions
To
reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using
the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using
the oven.
2. Install or locate the oven only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is
recommended that the oven be
installed by a qualified installer.
The oven must be properly
connected to electrical supply and
grounded.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is not
working properly, or if it has been
damaged.
4. Do not use the oven for warming
or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could
start.
5. Use the oven only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
6. Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the oven.
They could ignite if they touch a
heating element and you could be
burned.
7. 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 or other flammable
materials contact heating elements
or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to
cool. Other surfaces of the oven
may become hot enough to cause
burns; such as, the oven vent
opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the oven door and the
oven door window.
8. Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth for a potholder. They
could catch on fire.
9. Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
mlury.
10. Grease is flammable and should be
handled carefully. Let fat cool
before attempting to handle it.
11. Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan by covering
with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Flaming grease outside
of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a
multipurpose dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher.
12. Use care when opening oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
13. Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven
is hot, do not let potholder contact
hot heating element in oven.
14. Do not store flammable materials
in or near the oven. They could
explode or burn.
15. Do not store things children might
want above the oven. Children
could be burned or injured while
climbing on it.
