IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. These surfaces include oven vent openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors. Small children must be kept at a safe distance from the appliance. Risk of Fire! Never store combustible items in the cooking compartment. Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will affect the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven. If materials inside an oven should ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. For example, never use the appliance for warming or heating the room. Never use the appliance for storage. Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen. In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames. Causes of Damage CAUTION! • Do not place anything on the cooking compartment floor. Do not cover it with aluminium foil. A build-up of heat could damage the appliance. • The cooking compartment floor and the evaporator dish must always be kept clear. • Aluminium foil in the cooking compartment must not come into contact with the oven cavity or door panel. This could cause permanent discoloration. • Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. • When steaming with the perforated baking pan, always insert the baking pan beneath it. • If the door seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the door seal clean and replace when necessary. • Do not place anything on the open appliance door. The appliance could be damaged. • Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance, and could break. The cooking compartment in your appliance is made of high grade stainless steel. Improper care can lead to corrosion in the cooking compartment. Refer to the care and cleaning instructions in this manual. Remove food residues from the cooking compartment as soon as the appliance has cooled. State of California Proposition 65 Warnings: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
