Oven - Dacor DOB30M977D Series User Manual

Oven

• DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE 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 the heating
elements or interior surfaces of the 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 and surfaces near these openings,
the oven door, and the window of the oven door.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. The buildup of pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, newspapers can catch fire.
• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Use care when opening the door. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove
food from or put food into the oven.
• Protective liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottoms, except as
suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located above the right
rear surface unit. This area could become hot during oven use. Never block this
vent or place plastic or heat-sensitive items on it.
• Placement of oven racks. Always place oven racks in the desired location while
the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, use potholders.
Do not let the potholders come in contact with the hot heating element in the
oven.
• Do not allow aluminum foil or a meat probe to contact the heating elements.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass. They can scratch the surface which may result in the glass shattering.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure.
If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
returns, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or
spoil.
