IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

English 3

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 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.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven 
is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do 
not let potholder contact the heating elements.

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.

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.

WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the 
oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials 
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow 
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide 
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, 
causing a fire hazard.

WARNING

Use this appliance only for its intended use as 
described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance 
as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing 
so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and 
overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance 
for storage.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the 
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or 
legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in 
safe operation of the appliance by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang 
on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming 
drawer or storage drawer. This can damage the 
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing 
severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless 
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets 
should not be left alone or unattended in the area 
where the appliance is in use. They should never be 
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the 
appliance is in use.

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in 
an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on 
the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance 
to reach items could be seriously injured.

 

Cleaning Safety

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some 
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot 
surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns from 
steam.
