When accessing the food in the oven, always leave the door open the shortest possible time to prevent the oven temperature from falling and ruining the food.
WARNING
Never cover any slots, ports or orifices in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminium foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminium foil linings may also trap heat, creating a fire hazard.
NOTE: In case of a power outage, discontinue cooking.
If the power goes out during cooking, turn the range off immediately.
