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.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning
as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only
small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door
carefully.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact the heating elements.
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.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long
hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose
fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves,
jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it
is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians
to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the
appliance by qualified persons.
