IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the door or drawers of an oven can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance. Do not allow children to climb or play around the oven. The weight of a child on an open over door may cause the oven to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials, such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Wear proper apparel. Loose- fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using this appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials come into contact with hot surfaces.

Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.

Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a pan lid or use baking soda.

Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or other bulky cloths.

Important: Important Safety Notice - The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harms, and it requires busi- nesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Read and follow the below instructions and precautions for unpacking, installing, and servicing your appliance:

•Remove all tape and packaging before using the oven. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the oven. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

•Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition and local electrical code requirements. In Canada, install in accordance with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical code, Part 1, and local electrical code requirements. Install only per installation instructions provided in the literature package for this oven.

•User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifi- cally recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This reduces the risk of personal injury and damage to the oven.

•Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the oven at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

•Never modify or alter the construction of an oven by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/ screws, or any other part of the oven.

•Remove the oven door from any unused oven if it is to be stored or discarded.
