Cooking Safety

9 WARNING
Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in this
manual. NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm
the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating the appliance. Never use
the appliance for storage.
9 WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or
passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so
blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
9 WARNING
Risk of burns!
Putting water or ice cubes on the hot
frying surface causes water to
splash and steam.
