hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven / warmer drawer.

at right side of the front panel and visible when
the oven door is open. Touching the surfaces in
this area when the oven is operating may cause
severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-

items could melt or ignite.

desired location while oven/warmer drawer (if

and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the oven/warmer drawer
