Safety for the Oven
• Tie long hair so that it doesn't hang loose.
• Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of oven.
• The 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 the heating elements or the
interior surfaces of the 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
(identification of surfaces - for example, oven vent openings
and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows
of oven doors).
• The trim on the top and sides of the oven door may become
hot enough to cause burns.
• Use care when opening the door. Open the door slightly
to let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing
food.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure
may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
• Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
pot holder contact the hot heating elements.
• Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth.

coatings of any kind in or around any part of the oven.

excess soft spillage.
WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure
to substances which are known by the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm.
The elimination of soil during self-cleaning generates some by-
products which are on this list of substances.
To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this
oven according to the instructions in this manual and provide
good ventilation to the room during and immediately after
self-cleaning the oven.
