SAFETY INFORMATION IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death. STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING The California Safe Drinking Water 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. WARNING This product contains one or more chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Self-clean ovens can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including carbon monoxide, during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. WARNING GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ■ Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual. ■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions. ■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your oven unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be transferred to a qualified technician. ■ Before performing any service, disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. ■ Do not leave children alone-children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance. ■ CAUTION : Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an oven - children climbing on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured. ■ Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. ■ Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. ■ Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices around the oven door. ■ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury. ■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or fire hazard. ■ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur. ■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 2 49-80656-2
