IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
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 cannot 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.
Oven use
WARNING: Ovens can produce
,
high temperatures that can cause burns.
Prevent children from touching the
~
appliance while in use.
Use heat-resistant potholders 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.
Open the door carefully to 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.
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.
Only clean parts listed in this
~
manual.
Before installation or service,
~
disconnect the power supply to the work area by removing the fuse, "tripping" the circuit breaker, or shutting off the power main.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 the control panel can become hot.
Do not block any vent
~
openings.
Aluminum foil should not be used to
~
line the oven floor. To avoid damage, do not place pots, pans or baking sheets directly on the oven floor.
Do not let metal objects (aluminum
~
foil, pans) 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, 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. Fumes or vapors given off by glues, plastics or flammable liquids and materials could be hazardous.
Never store flammable liquids and
~
materials in, above or under an oven, or near cooking surfaces.
When baking frozen pizzas or pies,
~
place them on the rack lined with parchment paper. Do not use the baking tray or the roasting pan for frozen foods with a large surface area. The tray or pan could become warped and difficult to remove from the oven when hot. Frozen food like french fries, fish sticks, chicken fingers etc. can be baked on the baking tray.
Always check that food is sufficiently
~
heated. The time required varies depending on a number of factors, such as initial temperature, quantity, type and consistency of the food, and changes in the recipe. Germs present in the food are killed off only at a sufficiently high temperature (> 158 °F / 70 °C) and after a sufficiently long time (> 10 Min.). Select a longer cook time if you are unsure if food is thoroughly heated. To ensure temperature is distributed evenly, stir and rotate food occassionally before serving.

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 are a fire hazard if overheated.
Do not use water on grease fires!
~
Smother the fire with a properly rated dry chemical or foam fire extinguisher.
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
~
garments while operating the cooktop, they present a fire hazard.
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.
Be careful when using alcoholic
~
beverages like rum, whiskey, wine etc. for baking or roasting. The alcohol evaporates at high temperatures but may in rare circumstances combust on the hot heating elements.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY
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.
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.

Oven accessories
Baking tray, roasting pan, wire rack
The oven comes equipped with baking tray, roasting pan and wire rack. These pieces are to be slid into the runners on either side of the oven.
The roasting pan is ideal for catching drippings from meat or poultry roasted or broiled directly on the rack. It can also be used as a baking tray.
The baking tray, roasting pan and wire rack are coated with PerfectClean and can be easily cleaned with a sponge and dish soap.
Non-tip safety notches
The wire rack, roasting pan and baking tray are equipped with non-tip safety notches (see arrow) which prevent them from being pulled out completely while the oven is in use.
When inserting a rack, pan or tray always check that the safety notches are at the rear of the oven.
Once inserted into the oven these pieces can only be removed by raising the piece upwards and then pulling it out.
10
Grease filter
The filter helps to keep the oven fan clean from moisture and grease.
Anytime meat or poultry is prepared insert the grease filter in front of the fan opening.
