General Information
Important notice regarding pet birds:
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in
rooms where the fumes from the kitchen
could reach. Birds have a very sensitive
respiratory system. Fumes released during
an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful
or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to
overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be
equally harmful.
! CAUTION
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the
user and damage to the appliance. DO NOT use
the rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.
• For proper oven performance and
operation, DO NOT block or obstruct the
oven vent duct located on the right side
of the air grille.
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven
is on and for several minutes after oven
is turned off. When the oven is in use,
the vent and surrounding area become
hot enough to cause burns. After oven is
turned off, DO NOT touch the oven vent
or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include
rangetop, areas facing the rangetop,
oven vent, surfaces near the vent
opening, oven door, areas around the
oven door and oven window.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g., stepping,
sitting, or leaning on them) can result in
potential hazards and/or injuries.

! WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT touch
a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb
could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance before removing bulb to
avoid electrical shock.
! WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect
the electric power at the main fuse or circuit
breaker before replacing bulb.
! WARNING
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is
COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can
result in burns or electrical shock.
! CAUTION
DO NOT turn the temperature control on during
defrosting. Turning the convection fan on will
accelerate the natural defrosting of the food
without the heat.

NOT touch the glass!
