Burn Prevention
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, potholders, or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of 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, surfaces near these openings and oven
doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance.
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly
and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep
your face clear of the opening and make sure there
are no children or pets near the unit. After the release
of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking.
Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors
unattended.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol
content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a
risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in
the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods,
and open the oven door carefully.
Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven is cool. Always use oven mitts, when the oven is
warm. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact the heating elements.
CAUTION
To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance,
ensure rack is installed exactly per installation
instructions and not backwards or upside down.
Always use 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.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
