MPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Oven use

,WARNING: Ovens can produce high temperatures that can cause burns.

Prevent children from touching the appliance when in use.

Use heat-resistant oven mitts when placing items in the oven, turning

them, or removing them from the oven. The upper heating element and oven racks can become very hot and cause burns.

To prevent burns, always place oven racks at their desired height

while the oven is cool.

Always open the door carefully. Allow hot air or steam to escape

before placing or removing food.

To prevent burns, allow the heating element to cool before cleaning by

hand.

Only clean parts listed in this manual.

Caution: Heating elements may be hot even though they are not glow-

ing. During and after use, do not let clothing or other flammable materials come in contact with heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, vents, and control panel can become hot.

The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken

not to rub, damage or move the gasket. The door gasket should only be cleaned with a solution of warm water and soap.

Do not block oven vents.

Do not let metal objects (aluminum foil, metal pans) or the meat probe

come in contact with the heating element.

Do not slide pots or pans on the oven floor. This could scratch and

damage the surface.

Do not lean, sit, or place heavy items on the open oven door. The

door can support a maximum weight of 33 lbs (15 kg).

Do not heat unopened containers of food in the oven, as pressure

may build up and cause them to explode.

Never add water to food on a hot tray or pan or directly on to food in

a hot oven. The steam created could cause serious burns or scalds.

This oven must only be used for cooking. Do not use it as a dryer, kiln, dehumidifier, etc. Due to the heat generated in the catalytic converter of

the oven, any fumes or vapors given off by glues, plastics or other non-food items could ignite and cause property damage or injury.
