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 NOTTOUCH 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, 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 potholdels may cause
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should
never be used as potholdels 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 potholdels. 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 manufactureCs
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

element.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
