IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
A fire could occur during cooking.
¡
▶
Always have a working smoke detector
near the kitchen.
▶
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher
available, nearby, highly visible and eas-
ily accessible near the appliance.
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.
▶
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
Cooking fires can spread if extinguished
¡
incorrectly.
▶
Never use water on cooking fires.
Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or
¡
hanging garments, such as ties, scarves,
jewelry, or dangling sleeves, should never
be worn while using the appliance.
▶
Tie long hair so that it does not hang
loose.
▶
Secure all loose garments, etc. before
beginning.
In the event that personal clothing or hair
¡
catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
Do not use water on grease fires.
¡
▶
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemi-
cal or foam-type extinguisher.
Risk of fire
CAUTION ‒ Risk of fire!
The oven vents are important for air circu-
lation. Covering the oven vents will cause
the oven to overheat. Refer to the appli-
ance overview for the location of the oven
vents.
→ "Familiarizing yourself with your appli-
ance", Page 11
▶
Do not obstruct oven vents.
Risk of fire
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Grease and fat can ignite when heated.
▶
Keep the oven free from grease build
up.
Risk of burns
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
¡
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam.
▶
Do not let potholders touch hot heating
elements.
▶
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
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 in-
terior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other sur-
faces of the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns. Among these
surfaces are oven vent openings, sur-
faces near these openings and oven
doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appli-
¡
ance.
▶
Standing to the side, open the door (or
drawer) 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.
Risk of burns
