Installation

Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door. Injury might result from contact with hot food or the oven itself.Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil or any other material. Doing so will disrupt heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. (Aluminum foil will melt on the interior surface of the oven.)Do not use aluminum foil or any other material to line the oven bottom. Improper installation of oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.Make sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer, according to the installation instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified installers or service technicians.Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating. Keep plastic, clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.The electrical power must be shut off while the electrical connections are being made.Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in an electrical hazard or fire. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedure closely.Important – Save for the local electrical inspector's use

Operation

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 or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces, such as oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors, also get hot and may cause burns if not allowed to cool.Use care when opening door. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes. Let hot air or steam escape from the oven before removing or replacing food in the oven.Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven-safe lids only.Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven.Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from an oven or cooktop. Cookware will be hot. Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth to remove food.Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure in the containers may cause them to burst which may result in injury.Do not allow aluminum foil or the temperature probe to contact heating elements.Do not touch the oven racks while they are hot.Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holder contact the hot heating element in the oven.Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns caused by touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating element replaced by a qualified service technician.Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.DO NOT block the oven vent during operation. This can damage the electric parts of the oven. Air must be able to move freely. The bottom vent trim should be properly assembled on the front bottom of oven before installing the oven door.Do not put large, heavy items such as whole turkeys on the open oven door.Take care when the door is open to avoid injury.If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.Do not allow children to crawl into the oven.Do not put your hand under the controller or between the door and bottom vent trim during operation. The outside of the oven can become very hot to the touch.

Maintenance

Let hot cookware and utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.If the door glass, surface, or oven heating unit of the appliance are damaged, discontinue use of the appliance and call for service.Always disconnect power from the appliance before servicing.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 cookware 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.
