IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Correct use
Caution: Heating elements may be hot even though they are not
glowing. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, vents, and
the control panel can become hot. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials come into contact
with heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
Do not let food sit in the oven for an extended period of time
before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
Loose fitting or hanging garments present a fire hazard. Wear
proper apparel while operating the appliance.
Use only dry, heat-resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not let
potholders come in contact with oil or grease. Do not substitute dish
towels or other bulky items for potholders. Do not let potholders
touch hot heating elements.
Open the door carefully to allow hot air or steam to escape before
placing or removing food.
To prevent burns, always place oven racks at their desired height
while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is
hot, do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.
To prevent burns, allow the heating elements to cool before
cleaning by hand.
Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
Never store flammable liquids and materials in, above or under an
oven, or near cooking surfaces.
