unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.

1.5 Safe use
WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been
designed to be safe and reliable.
▶Read all instructions carefully before use. These
precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, and injury to persons.
▶When using kitchen appliances, basic safety
precautions must be followed, including those in the
following pages.
WARNING
If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should
ignite, keep door closed.
▶Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the
circuit breaker box.
A fire could occur during cooking.
▶Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
▶Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil.
▶Doing so blocks air flow through the oven.
▶Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
Cooking fires can spread if extinguished incorrectly.

such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves, should
never be worn while using the appliance.

▶Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires.
▶Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
CAUTION
The oven vents are important for air circulation. Covering
the oven vents will cause the oven to overheat. Refer to
the appliance overview for the location of the oven vents.
→ "Appliance", Page9
▶Do not obstruct oven vents.
WARNING
Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
▶Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements.
▶Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot
even though 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.
Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
▶Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) 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 appliance.
▶After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with
your cooking.
▶Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or
cleaning purposes.
▶Do not leave open doors unattended.
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from
steam.
CAUTION
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.
Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If the rack must be
moved while the oven is hot, do not let potholders contact
the hot heating elements in the oven. Use caution when
removing oven racks from the lowest rack position to
avoid contact with the hot oven door.
WARNING
Storage in or on Appliance - The use of corrosive
chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the
appliance and could result in injury.
▶Flammable materials, corrosive chemicals, vapors or
non-food products should not be stored or used in an
oven or on or near surface units.
▶The appliance is specifically designed for use when
heating or cooking food.
This appliance is intended for normal family household
use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the
Statement of Limited Product Warranty. If you have any
questions, contact the manufacturer.
WARNING
Using this appliance other than for its intended use can
cause fire or injury to persons.
▶Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
▶NEVER use your appliances as a space heater for
warming or heating the room. Doing so may result in
overheating the appliance.
▶Never use the appliance for storage.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO
PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING.
▶SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
