Siemens HE2425 manual Child Safety, Cleaning Safety, Cookware Safety

Safety

• Do not touch interior surface of the drawer while it is in use. The interior of the

	drawer could become hot enough to cause burns. Allow drawer and rack (if
	equipped) to cool before handling.
	WARNING:
	To prevent burns, do not remove drawer while hot. Be sure drawer is empty
	before removing.
Child Safety	• When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal respon-
	sibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
	safe practices by qualified persons.
	• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appli-
	ance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
	the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
	• Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an
	adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area
	where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
	vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
	CAUTION:
	Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabinets
	above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to
	reach items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety	IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
	The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
	California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
	defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of
	potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and the
	elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon
	Monoxide.The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small
	amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists
	formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential
	cause of reproductive toxicity.Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
	1) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
	2) Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self cleaning the
	oven.
	3) Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
	• Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
	fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns
	from steam.
	• When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door
	does not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact service.
	• Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the
	kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During self
	clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes
	such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.
	• Keep oven free from grease build up.
Cookware Safety	• Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
	• Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using cooking or roasting bags.
	• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent
	spills and movement of the pan.
	• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
	of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of
	clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the sur-
	face heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
