IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

This appliance is intended for residential use only.

Only use the appliance for its intended purpose. The manufacturer can not be held responsible for damages caused by improper use of this oven.

This appliance complies with current safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can lead to personal injury and material damage.

Read all instructions before installing or using the oven for the first time.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.

Before installation, make sure that

the voltage and frequency listed on the data plate correspond with the household electrical supply. This data must correspond to prevent injury and machine damage. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.

The manufacturer can not be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy of, an effective grounding system or the failure to adhere to national and local electrical codes.

The oven is not to be operated until

it has been properly installed within cabinetry.

Installation, maintenance and

repair work should be performed by an authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.

Before installation or service,

disconnect the power supply to the work area by removing the fuse, "trip ping" the circuit breaker, or shutting off the power main.

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 oven mitts when

placing items in the oven, turning them, or removing them from 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, as 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

Always make sure food is cooked

thoroughly before eating.

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

Do not use water on grease fires!

Smother the fire with a properly rated dry chemical or foam fire extinguisher.

Wear proper clothing. Loose-fitting

or hanging garments should never be worn while using the oven.

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.

When discarding an old oven,

disconnect it from the power supply and cut off the power cord. Remove the door to prevent trapping hazards.
