so can result in burns or electrical shock.
W A R N I N G
To avoid sickness and food waste when using
automatic time baking:
•
DO NOT
use foods that will spoil while waiting for
cooking to start, such as dishes with milk or eggs,
cream soups, custards, fish, pork, poultry, or
foods with stuffing.
• Any food that has to wait for cooking to start
should be very cold or frozen before it is placed in
the oven.
•
DO NOT
use foods containing baking powder or
yeast when automatic time baking. They will not
rise properly.
•
DO NOT
allow food to remain in the oven for
more than two hours after the end of the cooking
cycle.
• To avoid sickness and food waste,
DO NOT
allow
defrosted food to remain in the oven for more
than two hours.
C A U T I O N
You must carefully check the food during the
dehydration process to ensure that it does not
catch fire.
N O T I C E
DO NOT
turn the Temperature Control on during
defrosting. Turning the convection fan on will
accelerate the natural defrosting of the food
without the heat.

can get hot.
Danger of burning:
DO NOT touch the glass!
C A U T I O N

About Your Appliance
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on
and for several minutes after oven is turned off.
When the oven is in use, the vent and surrounding
area become hot enough to cause burns. After
oven is turned off,
DO NOT
touch the oven vent or
surrounding areas until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or
leaning on them) can result in potential hazards
and/or injuries.
• The appliance must be installed and electrically
grounded according to local codes. Have the
installer identify the location and shut-off valve on
the oven so you know where and how to turn off
gas if necessary.
C A U T I O N
NEVER
use appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the
user and damage to the appliance. Also,
DO NOT
use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.

cabinet finishes, use only materials and finishes
that will not discolor or delaminate and will
withstand temperatures up to 194° F (90° C). Heat
and moisture resistant adhesive must be used if the
product is to be installed in laminated cabinetry.
Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make
sure that the materials meet these requirements.
