Burn Prevention	DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN —
	Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of
	an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
	let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact 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. Among these surfaces are
	oven vent openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.

Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
