About Your Appliance
•
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may
cause burns from steam. Dish towels or other substi-
tutes should never be used as potholders because they
can trail across hot elements and ignite or get caught
on appliance parts.
•
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or long hanging-
sleeved apparel should not be worn while cooking.
Clothing may ignite and cause burns if garment comes
in contact with heating elements.
•
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove
food, using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid
reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack
must be moved while hot, use a dry potholder. Do not
let potholder contact hot element in oven.
•
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING:
Follow food
manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is other-
wise damaged during cooking, immediately discard
the food and its container. The food could be contami-
nated.
•
Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact

pleted.

tions. If you do not hear the fan, call an authorized
servicer.
