Child Safety
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
in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out
of reach of small children. Children should be taught
that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with controls or other parts of the
appliance.
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.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or oven
bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock, fire,
or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in
this guide.
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.
