IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when
using the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■ 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
–
among these surfaces are oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven
doors, and windows of oven doors.
For self-cleaning ovens:
■ Do Not Clean Gasket
–
The gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or move the gasket.
■ Do Not Use Oven Cleaners
–
No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of the
oven.
■ Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
■ Before Self-Cleaning the Oven
–
Remove
broiler pan and other utensils.
■ Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■ Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the Room.
■ Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be
left alone or unattended in area where oven is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
oven.
■ Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the oven.
■ User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the
oven unless specifically recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
■ Storage in Oven – Flammable materials should not be
stored in an oven.
■ Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
■ 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
other bulky cloth.
■ Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
■ Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
■ Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
■ Placement of Oven Racks
–
Always place oven racks
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.
When you first turn on the oven, you may notice a strong, unpleasant odor. This is caused by the adhesive used on the
insulation boards around the oven heating up for the first time, and it is a normal occurrence. If you experience this,
it's important to be patient and wait until the smoke dissipates before placing any food in the oven. Additionally, never
roast or bake anything directly on the oven base, as this could damage the appliance.
