Frigidaire 318205300 Important Safety Instructions for Using Your Oven

Important Safety Instructions

-If materials inside the microwave oven should ignite, keep microwave oven door closed, turn microwave oven off and disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

-Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.

•Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT

LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

-Do not overheat the liquid.

-Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

-Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.

-After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven at least for 20 seconds before removing the container.

-Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

•If the microwave oven light fails, consult an Electrolux

Authorized Servicer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

•Use Care When Opening an Oven Door—Stand to the side of the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The wall oven is vented at the center trim under the control panel. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

•Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot holders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot holders contact the hot oven element or interior of the oven.

•Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

•Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

•Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.

•Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR OVEN

•Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

•Cleaners/Aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.

•Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the appliance listed in this Owner’s Guide. Before using the self-cleaning cycle of the appliance, remove all utensils stored in the appliance.

•Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gas- ket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

•Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the appliance.

•Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

CAUTION

Limit use of microwave oven to 2-3 minutes during self- cleaning of the wall oven to lower risk of overheating the fuse.

CAUTION

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
