_ Important safety instructions
OVEN
DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE 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 the heating elements or interior surfaces
of the 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 and surfaces near these openings, oven
doors, and windows of oven doors.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and result in injury.
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can
catch on fire.
Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can
ignite.
Use care when opening door.
Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
Protective liners.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottoms,
except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
The oven vent is located above
the right rear surface unit. This area could become hot during oven use.
Never block this vent or place plastic or heat-sensitive items on it.
Placement of oven racks.
Always place oven racks in the desired
location while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven
is hot, use potholders. Do not let the potholders come in contact with the
hot heating element in the oven.
Do not allow aluminum foil or a meat probe to contact the heating
elements.
