IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General Safety Precautions To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your oven, follow basic safety precautions, including the following: WARNING • If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer/builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance. • The oven must be installed by a qualified installer per these installation instructions. The installer must show the owner the circuit-breaker panel or fuse box so power to the oven can be turned off if needed. The owner shall ensure the oven's proper installation and is financially responsible for service required to correct a faulty installation. • Do not install/repair/replace any part of the oven unless specified in the provided literature. A qualified service technician must perform all other service. • Before any service/installation, shut off power to the oven at the circuit breaker or fuse box. • The RNWO is intended for tasks and work loads consistent with residential cooking. It is not designed for commercial use. • Do not climb anywhere on the oven. • Do not leave children alone near the oven or let them play with the controls or touch other parts of the oven. • Do not store items of interest to children above the oven, thus encouraging them to climb on the oven and possibly injure themselves. • Do not tamper with the controls, or adjust or alter any part of the oven unless as instructed by this manual. • To prevent the oven 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. • 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 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 towels or bulky cloth as pot holders. WARNING • Do not use the oven for storage. • 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. • 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 let clothing contact the interior of the oven and surrounding areas during and immediately after use. • 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 oven use. Certain types of glass, ceramic, and earthenware are unsuitable for oven use. • 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. 1
