CAUTION

CAUTION
• To reduce the risk of minor injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or property when
using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Operation

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir them together before heating.
• Use a deep fat thermometer, if possible, to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan with too much
fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
• Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use.
• Do not place food or cookware on the bottom of the oven cavity. Doing so will cause permanent damage
to the oven bottom finish.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
• To protect against food-borne illnesses, cook meat and poultry thoroughly. The USDA has indicated the
following as safe minimum internal temperatures for consumption:
- Ground beef: 160 °F (71 ℃)
- Poultry: 165 °F (74 ℃)
- Beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 145 °F (68 ℃)
- Fish/seafood: 145 °F (68 ℃)
• Do not use this oven for commercial purposes. It is made for household use only.
• The door or the outer surface may get hot when the appliance is operating.
• Do not use this oven for purposes other than cooking.
• Use caution if opening the door when the oven is operating. Hot surfaces can cause serious burns.

Maintenance

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.
• Do not use harsh etching, abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since
they can scratch the surface. Scratches may cause the glass to shatter.
• Make sure oven lights are cool before cleaning.
• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage, or move the gasket.
• Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. The health of birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes released
during an oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds. Move birds to a well-ventilated
room.
• Do not rinse trays and racks by placing them in water just after cooking. This may cause breakage or
damage.
• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be removed. Failure to maintain the
oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could shorten the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
