Safety

• Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may

cause burns from steam. Dish towels or other substi-
tutes should never be used as potholders because they
can trail across hot elements and ignite or get caught
on appliance parts.

• Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or long hanging-

sleeved apparel should not be worn while cooking.
Clothing may ignite and cause burns if garment comes
in contact with heating elements.

• Always place oven racks in the desired positions while

oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove
food, using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid
reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack
must be moved while hot, use a dry potholder. Do not
let potholder contact hot element in oven.

• Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or

steam escape before removing or replacing food.

• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food

manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is other-
wise damaged during cooking, immediately discard
the food and its container. The food could be contami-
nated.

• Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact

heating element.

• Always turn off all controls when cooking is com-

pleted.

using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices
or accessories that are not specifically recommended
in this manual. Do not use add-on oven convection
systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this guide can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems,
and reduce the life of the components of the appli-
ance.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for

oven bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric
shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only
as directed in this guide.

• Never heat an unopened food container in the oven.

Pressure build-up may cause container to burst
resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the
