WHEN USING THE OVEN
Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of the 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 the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven, such as the oven vent opening and the oven door and window could also become hot enough to cause burns.
Always position oven shelves in the desired location while oven is cool. If a shelf must be removed while the oven is hot do not let the potholder contact hot heating elements in the oven or the base of the oven.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Do not heat unopened food containers. They can build up pressure that may cause the container to burst and result in injury.
Always keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Use only cookware approved for oven use. Follow the cookware manufacturers instructions. Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the oven.
