Operation

  • Do not use this oven for Commercial applications. This oven is exclusively and intended for Domestic use only.

  • DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE 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 the 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 the 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. 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.

  • 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 block the oven vent during operation. This can damage the electric parts of the oven. Air must be able to circulate freely. The bottom vent trim should be properly assembled on the front bottom of the 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 qualified person.

  • 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.
