Important Safety Instructions
• ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS
REQUIRED. It is the customer's
responsibility:
1. To contact a qualified electrician.
2. To ensure that the electrical system is
adequate and in compliance with the
National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA
70 Electrical Code – latest edition – or
the CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE,
C22.11 – 1982 and C22.2 No.
01982 – or latest edition – and all local
codes and ordinances.
• Always check that the controls are in the
"zero" (off) position when the oven is not
in use.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of this appliance unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be done by a qualified
technician.
• Never use any part of the oven for
storage. Flammable materials can ignite
and plastic items may melt or burst into
flame.
• Do not hang articles on any part of the
appliance or place anything against the
oven. Some fabrics are extremely
flammable and could ignite.
• DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL TO
LINE ANY PART OF THE OVEN. Use of
a foil liner can result in an electrical
shock or fire hazard or obstruct the flow
of heat and air. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator, allowing heat to be trapped
under it. This can interfere with cooking
and can damage the enamel of the
oven.
