WARNING!
This appliance is for cooking. Never use the oven to warm or heat a room.
■Be certain to use only dry pot holders: a moist or damp pot holder on hot surfaces may cause a steam burn injury. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
■Use only
■Do not heat unopened food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst and could result in injury.
■To avoid burn injuries when using the oven, do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven or exterior area immediately surrounding the door until it has had sufficient time to cool.
■Do not touch or allow flammable material to touch the heating element. Even if it appears dark in color, it may still be hot enough to cause burns or catch flammables on fire; allow sufficient time to cool.
■Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven. Using a foil liner could result in a fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance. You may line the broil pan with foil. However, if you cover the broil pan, be sure to cut slits in the foil for the grease holes in order to allow grease to drain through.
■Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance.
■Children in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the oven door handle and may grab and open the oven door. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child, or severe burns if the oven is in use and hot.
WARNING!
