IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury to persons, or damage when using the oven, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

■

Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician.

■

Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the Room.

■

Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left

alone or unattended in area where oven is in use. They

should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the

oven.

■

Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the oven.

■

User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the

oven unless specifically recommended in the manual. All

other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

■

Storage in Oven – Flammable materials should not be

stored in an oven.

■

Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame

or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

■

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 other bulky cloth.

■

Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.

■

Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of

pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

■

Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

■

Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks 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.

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 – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and

surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of

oven doors.

For self-cleaning ovens:

■

Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door gasket is essential

for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,

or move the gasket.

■

Do Not Use Oven Cleaners – No commercial oven cleaner

or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used

in or around any part of the oven.

■

Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.

Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and

other utensils.
