Begin by ensuring proper installation and grounding of the appliance by a qualified technician according to the accompanying Installation Instructions. Have the installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located so that you know how and where to turn off power. 2. Ensure that the oven is used only by those individuals who are able to operate it properly. 3. Use the oven only for cooking tasks expected of a home oven as outlined in this manual. 4. Properly clean and maintain the oven as recommended in this manual. 5. Use only dry potholders to avoid steam burns when removing hot cookware. 6. Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching into the oven. 7. Allow the oven cool air intake (located below the door handle) to remain unobstructed at all times. 8. Position oven racks in desired locations when the oven is cool. (If a rack must be repositioned after the oven is already hot, be certain that the potholder does not contact a hot heating element in the oven.) 9. Before Self-Cleaning the oven, remove the broiler grill and pan, oven racks, convection fan filter and any other utensils. 10. Clean only those parts listed in this manual. What Not to Do 1. Do not use the oven for warming or heating the room. 2. Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the oven is in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the oven. Do not let children play with the oven. 3. Do not store items of interest to children above the oven. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the appliance. 4. Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the oven. 5. Do not store combustible, flammable or explosive materials in the oven or in adjacent cabinets. 6. CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR COOKING UTENSILS, ETC., IN THE OVEN DURING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. 7. Do not repair or replace any part of the oven unless specifically recommended in literature accompanying this appliance. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician. 8. Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Smother any flames with a lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease can be extinguished with baking soda or foam extinguisher. 9. Do not allow potholders to touch hot surfaces. Do not use towels or bulky cloth as potholders. 10. Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings on any part of the oven. 11. Do not clean the door gasket, because rubbing, moving or in any way damaging the gasket, may eliminate the required tight door seal. 12. DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. 13. 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. 14. Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners or detergents on this appliance, as these may cause permanent damage. Do not use aerosol cleaners, as these may be flammable or cause corrosion of metal parts. 15. Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain on the oven cell surfaces. The porcelain finish may stain. If you received a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
