Burn Prevention
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.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
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.
