IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should
not be left alone or unattended in the area where
appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appli-
ance, including the storage drawer, lower broiler
drawer, warmer drawer, or lower double oven.
•
Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the door or
drawers of a oven can result in serious injuries
and also cause damage to the appliance. Do not
allow children to climb or play around the oven.
The weights of a child on an open over door may
cause the oven to tip, resulting in serious burns
or other injury.
•
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with
materials, such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil
linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Important Safety Notice - The California Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires
the governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harms, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures to such
substances.
Cold temperatures can damage the electronic
control. When using this appliance for the first time,
or when the appliance has not been used for an
extended period of time, be sure the appliance has
been in temperatures above 32ºF (0ºC) for at least 3
hours before turning on the power to the appliance.
Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power
failure. If the power fails, always turn off the oven. If
the oven is not turned off and the power resumes,
the oven will begin to operate again. Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
•
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.
•
Do not use water or flour on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a pan
lid or use baking soda.
•
Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do
not use towels or other bulky cloths.
•
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-
up of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
•
Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
•
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 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 (identification of surfaces - for
example, oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, and windows of
oven doors).
