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 unloading the oven. Containers get very hot in the oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turntable and metal rack also get very hot so be sure to use an oven glove when handling them.

3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window with metal components when loading or unloading the oven. The inside of the door and oven get very hot so take care when attending food in the oven.

4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold water or try to cool them quickly after use.

• Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This may cause malfunctioning.

• Arcing in the oven during microwave operation usually occurs from use of metallic utensils. Continuous arcing, however, can damage the unit. Stop the programme and check the utensil.
