IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 heat-
ing elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appli-
ance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among
these surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near
these openings and oven doors.
Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam es-
cape before removing or replacing food.
CAUTION
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evapo-
rates 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.

desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
