6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not mount unit over or near any portion of a heating or cooking appliance.
• Do not mount over a sink.
• Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance surface when the appliance is in operation.

Installation

• Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door. Injury might result from contact with
hot food or the oven itself.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil or any other
material. Doing so will disrupt heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
• Do not use aluminum foil or any other material to line the oven bottom. Improper installation of oven
liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Make sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer, according to the
installation instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified installers or
service technicians.
• Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating. Keep plastic,
clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.
• The electrical power must be shut off while the electrical connections are being made.
• Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in an electrical hazard or fire.
Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer's
recommended procedure closely.

Operation

• 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 or other flammable materials contact heating elements
or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces, such as oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors, also get hot and
may cause burns if not allowed to cool.
• Use care when opening door. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and
eyes. Let hot air or steam escape from the oven before removing or replacing food in the oven.
• Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven-safe lids only.
• Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from an oven or cooktop. Cookware will be
hot. Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth to
remove food.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure in the containers may cause them to burst which may
result in injury.
• Do not allow aluminum foil or the temperature probe to contact heating elements.
• Do not touch the oven racks while they are hot.
• Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let
the pot holder contact the hot heating element in the oven.
• Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps
prevent burns caused by touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.
• Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of
damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or
