Safety instructions when cooking with grill,
Convection or combination modes.
1. The glass viewing window may break if water is
spilled on it during grilling or convection cooking.
2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and

not affect the safety of your oven. The door is
not intended to seal
the oven cavity completely.
