General Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic safety precau- tions, including the following:

WARNING

•Read the accompanying use and care manual before operating this appliance.

•Keep packaging materials away from children. Plastic sheets and bags can cause suffocation.

•If you receive a damaged product, immediately con- tact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance. Do not install or use the appli- ance if the conduit is damaged.

•This oven must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to these instal- lation instructions prior to use. The installer must show the customer the location of the circuit break- er panel or fuse box so that they know where and how to turn off electric power to the oven. Dacor is not responsible for service required to correct a faulty installation. The owner is responsible to make sure this appliance is properly installed.

•Do not use the door handle(s) to lift or move the oven.

•A minimum of two people are required to safely install this appliance.

•To avoid an electric shock hazard, do not install this appliance outside or near water. Do not install or use this appliance if it has been exposed to water.

•Do not install, repair or replace any part of the oven unless specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. A qualified service technician should perform all other service.

•Before performing any type of service or installa- tion, make sure that the electric power to the oven is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

•Only use the oven for cooking tasks expected of a home appliance as outlined in the literature accom- panying it. This oven is not intended for commercial use.

•Do not climb on any part of the appliance.

•Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area around the oven. Do not allow children to play with the controls, pull on the handle or touch other parts of the oven.

•Do not store items of interest to children above the oven. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.

•Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter any part of the oven unless specifically instructed to do so in this manual.

WARNING

•To prevent injury due to the unit tipping forward, secure the oven to the cabinet using the supplied mounting screws.

•Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic and cloth away from hot surfaces. Do not put such items in the oven. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot surfaces.

•Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the oven. Do not allow clothing to come into contact with the interior of the oven and the surrounding areas during and immediately after use.

•Do not use the oven for storage.

•Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven during use. After use, make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to cool before touching them.

•Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven dur- ing the self-clean cycle. They will be hot. Venting from the oven may cause the trim to become hot.

•For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the convection filter installed. When the filter is not installed, the spinning fan blades at the back of the oven are exposed.

•Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during cooking.

•To prevent damage, remove the meat probe from the oven when it is not being used.

•Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can melt or burn up during self-cleaning and cause permanent damage to the oven.

•Do not leave objects, such as aluminum foil, the meat probe, cookie sheets, etc. on the bottom of the oven. Objects left on the bottom of the oven could damage the bake element. In addition, the objects themselves could be damaged.

•Do not allow heating elements in the top and bot- tom of the oven chamber to become covered up by cookie sheets, aluminum foil, pots, pans, etc.

Covering the heating elements could cause them to over-heat, damaging the oven.

•Always ensure that the light fixture lens covers are in place when using the oven. The lens covers pro- tect the light bulbs from breakage caused by high oven temperatures or mechanical shock.
