Important Safety Instructions
NEVER
leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance as they could be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in
it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of
reach of small children. Children should be taught that an
appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to
play with controls or other parts of the appliance.
About Your Appliance
NEVER
use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or oven
bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this
guide.
Do not use the cooktop or oven as a storage area for food
or cooking utensils.
Cooking Safety
Never heat an unopened food container in the oven.
Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in
serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes 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 racks only in the oven in which they were shipped/
purchased.
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 otherwise damaged during
cooking, immediately discard the food and its container.
The food could be contaminated.
Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact
heating element.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
CAUTION
NEVER
use an appliance as a step to reach cabinets
above. Misuse of appliance door, such as stepping,
leaning or sitting on the door, may result in possible
tipping of the appliance, breakage of door, and serious
injuries.
To prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the
appliance, do not use appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm a room. Also, do not use the oven as a storage
area for food or cooking utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of air by blocking the oven vent.
The oven vent is located at the rear of the cooking
surface.
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 any oven
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing 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 opening and surface
near this opening, oven door, window of oven door.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
