IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Oven use
,WARNING: Ovens can produce
high temperatures that can cause
burns.
Prevent children from touching the
appliance when in use.
Use heat-resistant potholders when
turning, removing or placing items
in the oven. The upper heating element
and oven racks can become very hot
and cause burns.
To prevent burns, always place
oven racks at their desired height
while the oven is cool.
Always open the door carefully.
Allow hot air or steam to escape
before placing or removing food.
To prevent burns, allow the heating
element to cool before cleaning by
hand.
Only clean parts listed in this
manual.
Caution: Heating elements may be
hot even though they are not
glowing. During and after use, do not
let clothing or other flammable
materials come in contact with heating
elements or interior surfaces of the
oven until they have had sufficient time
to cool. External parts of the oven such
as the door glass, vents, and control
panel can become hot.
The door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
The door gasket should only be
cleaned with a solution of warm water
and soap.
Do not block
oven vents.
Do not let metal objects (aluminum
foil, metal pans) or the meat probe
come in contact with the heating
element.
Do not slide pots or pans on the
oven floor. This could scratch and
damage the surface.
Do not lean, sit, or place heavy
items on the open oven door.
Do not heat unopened containers
of food in the oven, pressure may
build up and cause them to explode.
Never add water to food on a hot
tray or pan, or directly onto food in
a hot oven. The steam created could
cause serious burns or scalds.
This oven must only be used for
cooking. Do not use it as a dryer,
kiln, dehumidifier, etc. Due to the heat
generated in the catalytic converter of
the oven, any fumes or vapors given off
by glues, plastics or other non-food
items could ignite and cause property
damage or injury.
Flammable liquids and materials
should never be stored in, above
or under an oven, or near cooking
surfaces.

General notes
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the oven. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where an
oven is in use. Never allow children to
sit or stand on any part of the oven.
Caution: Do not store items of interest
to children in cabinets above an oven.
Children climbing on the oven to reach
these items could be injured.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils or fats, they
can be a fire hazard if overheated.
Do not use water on grease fires!
Smother the fire with a properly
rated dry chemical or foam fire
extinguisher.
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments while operating the
cooktop, they present a fire hazard.
Do not use the oven to heat the
room.
Make certain that the power cords
of small appliances do not come in
contact with or get caught in the oven
door.
Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp
potholders used on hot surfaces may
result in steam burns. Do not let
potholders come in contact with oils.
Do not substitute towels or other bulky
items for potholders.
It is recommended to cover all
cooked food that is left in the oven
to be kept warm. This will prevent
moisture from condensing on the
interior of the oven.
Disposal of an old oven
When discarding an old oven,
disconnect it from the power
supply and cut off the power cord.
Remove the door to prevent a trapping
hazard.
