To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to
persons, or damage when using the oven, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
•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 an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During
and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable mate-
rials contact heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the oven, such
as the oven vent opening, the
surface near the vent opening,
and the oven door and window,
could also become hot enough to
cause burns.
•Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the oven.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot heating element and you
could be burned.
•Use only dry pot holders. Moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces
could result in burns from steam.
