9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Burn Prevention DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even when 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, potholders, or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors. Open and close the appliance door only by holding the door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any other parts of the door. For side hinge doors, open the door a minimum of 110° to minimize chances of contact with the hot inner door surface when putting anything in or out of the oven cavity. Avoid leaving the door open longer than is necessary and warn others to avoid unintentional contact with the open oven door. Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/ or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep oven doors closed except when it is necessary to open the oven doors for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended. Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury. Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements. Always use 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. Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves. Child Safety When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the appliance by qualified persons. Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury. Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use. 9 CAUTION Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items could be seriously injured. Cleaning Safety Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns from steam. 9 WARNING 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. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of carbon monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of English 3
