Before using your oven

1. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during
CONVECTION, GRILLING, COMBINATION involving CONVECTION, GRILL or STEAM
functions. To prevent burns, take care when opening or closing the door and when inserting or
removing food and accessories.
2. The oven has three grill heaters situated in the top of the oven and a convection heater
situated in the back of the oven. During and after using either the CONVECTION, GRILL or
COMBINATION involving CONVECTION, GRILL or STEAM functions, all inside surfaces of
the oven will be very hot. To prevent burns, care should be taken to avoid touching any of the
inside surfaces of the oven or hot water in the steam trough.
3. The accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use.
4. Do not use the water tank if it is cracked or broken, as leaking water could result in electrical
failure and danger of electric shock. If the water tank becomes damaged, please contact your
dealer.
