SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNiNG: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer. Wash hands after handling.
y DO NOT TOUCH 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 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 cooled.
y Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape from the oven
before removing or replacing food in the oven.
y DO NOT heat unopened food containers. Pressure in the containers may cause them
burst which may result in injury.
y Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before
operating. Keep plastic, clothes, and paper away from parts of the appliance that
may become hot.
y DO NOT force the door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system.
Use care when opening the oven door after the self cleaning cycle. Stand to the side
of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may
still be VERY HOT.
y 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.
y Be careful when removing and lifting the door.
y DO NOT lift the door by the handle. The door is very heavy.
y DO NOT use the oven for drying clothes. Only use the oven for its intended purpose.
