9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Burn Prevention

•

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, potholders, 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

openings, surfaces near these openings and oven

doors.

•

Exercise caution when opening the appliance.

Standing to the side, open the door slowly and slightly

to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep your face clear

of the opening and make sure there are no children or

pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or

steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut

unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do

not leave open doors unattended.

•

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-

up of pressure may cause the container to burst and

cause injury.

•

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven

is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do

not let potholder contact the heating elements.

•

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not

let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a

towel or other bulky cloth.

•

Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol

content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.

Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a

risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in

the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods,

and open the oven door carefully.

9 WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the

oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials

such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow

through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide

poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,

causing a fire hazard.

drawer or storage drawer. This can damage the

appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing

severe injury.
