IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY DURING USE
CAUTION
Supervise all cooking processes. Continuously supervise quick cooking processes.
•
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements inside the oven.
•
Do not touch the oven racks while they are hot.
•
Do not block the vent opening.
•
Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
•
If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holder contact the hot
heating element in the oven.
•
Use caution with the Timed Cook or Delayed Timed Cook features. Use the automatic
timer when cooking cured or frozen meats and most fruits and vegetables. Foods that can
easily spoil, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator
first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before
cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when cooking is complete. Eating
spoiled food can result in sickness from food poisoning.
•
Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use.
•
Do not place food or cookware on the bottom of the oven cavity. Doing so will cause
permanent damage to the oven bottom finish.
•
Only use the temperature probe recommended for this oven.
•
Do not use water on grease fires.
Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed
and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire
extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can
spread a grease fire and cause personal injury.
•
Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the
oven. This helps prevent burns caused by touching hot surfaces of the door and oven
walls.
•
Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows
other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present
a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating
element replaced by a qualified service technician.
•
When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
SAFETY WHEN CLEANING
CAUTION
Remove food, cookware, racks, and accessories from the oven before operating
the self-cleaning function. Remove any items placed in the bottom drawer.
•
Avoid touching the door, window, or oven vent area during a cleaning cycle, and keep
children away from the appliance. These surfaces may get hotter than usual.
•
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the oven.
•
Open a window or turn on a ventilation fan or hood before self-cleaning.
•
If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self-clean the oven before using the oven again. The
oil could cause a fire.
•
Wipe up heavy soil on the bottom of the oven or the excess spillage before using the Self
Clean function.
•
Do not use oven cleaners.
Commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of
any kind should not be used in or around any part of the oven.
