•Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The appliance must be installed and electrically grounded according to local codes.

•Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed by an authorized service agency.

•GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do not use water on grease fires. Flaming grease can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.

•Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These items could ignite and cause burns.

•Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Important Safety Instructions

•Do not heat unopened food containers; build-up of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.

•Always position oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

•Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

•Keep oven vents unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the front of the oven and vents into the room.

•Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

•No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating such as aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven. Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep oven free from grease buildup.

•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks, and other utensils. Do not use your oven to clean other parts. A fan noise should be heard during the cleaning cycle. If not, call service before self-cleaning again.

•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 or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the oven door window.
