Important Safety Instructions

Fire Safety

Read and save these instructions.
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line
any part of an appliance, especially surface unit
drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
If materials inside an oven or warming drawer
should ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the
appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit
breaker box.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. For example, never use
the appliance for warming or heating the room.
Never use the appliance for storage.
Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches
fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease
fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking
fires.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the
oven.

Burn Prevention

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 heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Among these surfaces are oven vent openings,
surfaces near these openings and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance.
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer)
slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam
escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and
make sure there are no children or pets near the
unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam,
proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless
necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not
leave open doors unattended.
4
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers.
Build-up of pressure may cause the container to
burst and cause injury.
Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is
hot, do not let potholder contact the heating
elements.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the
parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are
instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or
hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door,
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can
damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over,
potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.
CAUTION – Items of interest to children should not
be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an
appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing
on an appliance to reach items could be seriously
injured.

Cleaning Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination
of soil during self-cleaning can generate small
amounts of Carbon Monoxide.
