or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in
this guide.
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance as they could be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils

About Your Appliance
To prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to
the appliance, do not use appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm a room. Also, do not use the oven as a
storage area for food or cooking utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of air by blocking the oven vent.
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 any
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 of the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns - among these surfaces are: oven
vent opening and surface near this opening, oven door
and window of oven door.
When the oven is in use, the area near the oven vent may
become hot enough to cause burns. For best baking
results, do not block the vent opening.

Cooking Safety
Never heat an unopened food container in the oven.
Pressure build up may cause container to burst
resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the
appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes
should never be used as potholders because they can
trail across hot elements and ignite or get caught on
appliance parts.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or long hanging-
sleeved apparel should not be worn while cooking.
Clothing may ignite and cause burns if garment comes
in contact with heating elements.
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food,
using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into
the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be
moved while hot, use a dry potholder. Do not let
potholder contact hot element in oven.
Use racks only in the oven in which they were shipped/
purchased.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food
manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food
and its container. The food could be contaminated.
Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact
heating element.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
