•A fan should be heard during the bake, broil and cleaning cycles. If you do not hear the fan, call an authorized servicer.

•NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

COOKING SAFETY

•Never heat an unopened food container in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appli- ance.

•Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should never be used as potholders because they can trail across hot elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.

•Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or long hanging-sleeved apparel should not be worn while cooking. Clothing may ignite and cause burns if garment comes in contact with heating elements.

•Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry potholder. Do not let potholder contact hot element in oven.

•Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

•PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Fol- low food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately dis- card the food and its container. The food could be contaminated.

•Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact heating element.

•Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.

•This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cook- ware. Do not use any devices or accesso- ries that are not specifically recommended in this manual. Do not use add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this guide can create serious safety hazards, result in perfor- mance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

•Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for oven service with- out breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil manu- facturer’s instructions when using glass.

CLEANING SAFETY

•Turn off all controls and wait for appli- ance parts to cool before touching or cleaning. Clean with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

NOTICE AND WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to pub- lish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn cus- tomers of potential exposures to such sub- stances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self- clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
