reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions
are not followed.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow
soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly
qualified service personnel.
