OVEN SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:

■ Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

■ Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the

Room.

■ Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not

be left alone or unattended in area where oven is in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the oven.

■ Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the oven.

■ User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of

the oven unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.

■ Storage in Oven – Flammable materials should not

be stored in an oven.

■ Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or

flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

■ Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

■ Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.

■ Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up

of pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury.

■ Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

■ Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks

in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact
hot heating element in oven.

■ 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 or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to
cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven
doors, and windows of oven doors.
