IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Before replacing the oven light, switch off the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
• Never pour cold water over a hot oven for cleaning purposes.
• Oversized food or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in a microwave/toaster oven as they
may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts causing a
risk of electric shock.
• Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this oven when not
in use.
• Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunction light goes on, or if the audible signal sounds, turn off or
disconnect the appliance from the power supply and have it serviced by a qualified technician.
• If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self-clean the oven before using the oven again. The oil could cause
a fire.
• If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not
force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame
from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.
• If your oven is dropped or damaged, have it thoroughly checked by a qualified service technician before
using it.
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
• Do not store or use flammable material in or near the oven. Flammable materials include paper, plastic,
pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids such as
grease or cooking oil. These materials can be ignited when the oven is in use.
• Use extreme caution when moving or disposing of hot grease.
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging garments, which may ignite if they contact
hot surfaces, and cause severe burns.
• Do not use the oven for drying clothes. Only use the oven for its intended purpose.
• If cabinet storage is provided directly above the oven, use it to store items that are not frequently used
and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for volatile items
such as flammable liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the
oven off. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water
or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can spread a grease fire and cause personal injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION

using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Operation
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir them together before heating.
• Use a deep fat thermometer, if possible, to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan with too much
fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
