Important Safety Instructions Oven Safety

1.Never use appliance for warming or heating the room.

2.Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. Appliance will get very hot in certain areas which could cause burns.

3.Stove top may get uncomfortably hot during prolonged usage of oven and/or top burners (may even become hot enough to cause burns). Please avoid skin contact with stove top during operation.

4.Control knobs may get substantially hot during prolonged oven and/or top burner use (please ensure oven door is not propped open by oven rack as this will increase heat transferred to knobs).

5.Wear proper apparel – loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.

6.User servicing – do not replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom- mended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

7.Storage in or on appliance – flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in range cabinet.

8.Do not use water on grease fires – smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

9.Use only dry potholders – moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Do not touch heating elements or interior sur- faces of oven – heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in colour. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or allow clothing or other flammable materials make contact with heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – for example: oven vent openings, surfaces near these openings, oven doors and stove top.

1.Use care when opening door – let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

2.Do not heat unopened food containers – buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

3.Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

4.Placement of oven racks – always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

Note: A thermostatically controlled cooling fan may start up after prolonged usage of the stove. The fan will automatically shut off when the cooling cycle is complete.
