• Do not heat unopened food containers; build-up of pressure

may cause the container to explode and result in injury.

• Always position oven racks in desired location while oven is

cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

• Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam
can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Keep oven vents unobstructed. The oven vent is located at

the front of the oven and vents into the room.

• Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight

seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move
the gasket.

• No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective

coating such as aluminum foil should be used in or around
any part of the oven. Improper oven liners may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire. Keep oven free from grease
buildup.

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler

grid, oven racks, and other utensils. Do not use your oven
to clean other parts. A fan noise should be heard during
the cleaning cycle. If not, call service before self-cleaning
again.

• 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 materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the
oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, and
the oven door window.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in

this manual. Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room. This is based on safety considerations.

• Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The

appliance must be installed and electrically grounded
according to local codes.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this

appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual.
All servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Warranty service must be performed by an authorized
service agency.

• Children should not be left alone in the kitchen while the

oven is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.

CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children over
the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously
injured. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the appliance.

• GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled

carefully. Do not use water on grease fires. Flaming grease
can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a
multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Let fat
cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to
collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers
immediately.

• Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn

while using the appliance. Do not drape towels or materials
on oven door handles. These items could ignite and cause
burns.

• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot surface areas. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.

• Keep area clean and free from combustible materials,

gasoline, and other flammable liquids. Never use your oven
as a storage space. Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.)
may ignite, and metallic items may become hot and cause
burns.
