if you don't follow instructions.

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

All safety messages will identifythe hazard, 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: To reduce the risk of fire,

electrical 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 inthe manu- al. All other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

• Use Care When Opening Door- Let hot air or steam escape before removing 'or

replacing food.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

oDO NOTTOUCH HEATING ELE-

MENTS 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Do Not Clean Door Gasket - The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

• When baking on two or three racks, use the CONVECTION BAKE settingfor more even results. (You can also use onlyone rack when convectionbaking.)

• To use three racks during convection

baking, place one rack in position 5

(the highest position), another rack in

position 1 (the closest to the oven bot- tom), and the third rack in position 3.

This allows all three racks to be an equal distance apart for better baking.

• Stagger cake pans or other cookware in

opposite directions on each rack when three racks are used. This will make

sure pans are not directly over each other.

Convection roasting

NOTE: See the "Roasting tips" in the "Cook- ing tips" section.

Convection baking tips

• Do not use aluminum toilwhen convection

baking. Aluminumfoil may block airflow.

• Reduce recommended recipe oven tem- perature by approximately 25°F (16°C). Use EASY CONVECT TM CONVERSION

(see the "Using EASY CONVECT CON- VERSION" section).

• For some recipes, you can reduce con- vection baking time compared to standard baking times. Use EASY CONVECT TM

CONVERSION. NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when

you use more than one rack.

1. Prepare oven.

Position the rack properly. For correct rack placement, see =Baking or convec-

tion baking" earlier In this section. Place

food in the oven. For large masts and turkeys, place rack in position 1 or 2.

(Preheating is not necessary when roasting.)
