Burn prevention
•
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING
ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACE 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, potholders, or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance
may become hot enough to cause burns.
Among these surfaces are oven vent openings,
surfaces near these openings and oven doors.
•
Exercise caution when opening the
appliance. Standing to the side, open the door
slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam
escape. Keep your face clear of the opening
and make sure there are no children or pets
near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or
steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors
shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning
purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
•
Do not heat or warm unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may cause
the container to burst and cause injury.
•
Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If a rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact the heating elements.
•
Always use 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.
•
Secure all loose garments, etc. before
beginning. Tie long hair so that it does not
hang loose, and do not wear loose fitting
clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,
scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
