Important Safety Instructions
A WARN ING
1. Read all instructions before using
the oven.
2. Install or locate the oven only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is
recommended that the oven be
installed by a qualified installer.
The oven must be properly
connected to electrical supply and
grounded.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is not
working properly, or if it has been
damaged.
4. Do not use the oven for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could
start.
5. Use the oven only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
6. Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the oven.
They could ignite if they touch a
heating element and you could be
burned.
7. 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; such as, the oven vent
opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the oven door and the
oven door window.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using
the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
8. 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
bulky cloth for a potholder. They
could catch on fire.
9. Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury.
10. Grease is flammable and should be
handled carefully. Let fat cool
before attempting to handle it.
11. Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan by covering
with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Flaming grease outside
of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a
multipurpose dry chemical or foamtype extinguisher.
12. Use care when opening oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
13. Always position oven rack(s) 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.
14. Do not store flammable materials
in or near the oven. They could
explode or burn.
15. Do not store things children might
want above the oven. Children
could be burned or injured while
climbing on it.
16. Do not leave children alone or
unattended in area where the
oven is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the oven. They could be
burned or injured.
17. Keep oven vents unobstructed.
18. Clean your oven regularly. See
care and cleaning instructions in
this manual.
19. Be sure all oven parts are cool
before cleaning.
20. Do not clean door seal. It is
essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub,
damage, or move the seal. Clean
only parts recommended in this
Use and Care Guide.
21. Do not use oven cleaners on the
single/upper oven. No
commercial oven cleaner or oven
liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around
any part of the single/upper
oven.
22. Before self-cleaning the single/
upper oven, remove broiler pan,
broiler grid, oven racks and other
utensils. Do not use your oven to
clean miscellaneous parts.
23. Do not repair or replace any part
of the oven unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
24. Disconnect the electrical supply
before servicing the oven.
