IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
WARNING!

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Do not touch the heating elements or the
interior surface of the oven. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though
they are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent
openings, surfaces near the openings,
crevices around the oven door, the edges
of the window and metal trim parts above
the door.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
Stand away from the oven when opening
the oven door. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
When using cooking or roasting bags in
the oven, follow the manufacturer’s
directions.
Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.
After broiling, always take the broiler pan
out of the oven and clean it. Leftover
grease in the broiler pan can catch fire
next time you use the pan.
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your oven.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottoms, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of
aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
