 Stepping, leaning, or sitting on 

the door or drawers of an oven can result in 

serious injuries and also cause damage to the 

appliance. Do not allow children to climb or 

play around the oven. The weight of a child 

on an open over door may cause the oven to 

tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

 Never cover any slots, holes, or 

passages in the oven bottom or cover an 

entire oven rack with materials, such as 

aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap 

heat, causing a fire hazard.

 Wear proper apparel. Loose-

fitting or hanging garments should never be 

worn while using this appliance. Do not let 

clothing or other flammable materials come 

into contact with hot surfaces.

 Do not heat unopened food 

containers. Build-up of pressure may cause 

container to burst and result in injury.

 When heating fat or grease, 

watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it 

becomes too hot.

 Do not use water or flour on 

grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry 

chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Cover 

the fire with a pan lid or use baking soda.

 Use dry potholders. Moist or 

damp potholders on hot surfaces may result 

in burns from steam. Do not let potholders 

touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or 

other bulky cloths.
Important: Important Safety Notice - The 

California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic 

Enforcement Act requires the governor of 

California to publish a list of substances 

known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other 

reproductive harms, and it requires busi-

nesses to warn customers of potential 

exposures to such substances.

 

Read and follow the below 

instructions and precautions for unpacking, 

installing, and servicing your appliance:

• Remove all tape and packaging before 

using the oven. Destroy the carton and 

plastic bags after unpacking the oven. 

Never allow children to play with 

packaging material.

• Proper Installation—Be sure your 

appliance is properly installed and 

grounded by a qualified technician in 

accordance with the National Electrical 

Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition 

and local electrical code requirements. In 

Canada, install in accordance with CSA 

Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical 

code, Part 1, and local electrical code 

requirements. Install only per installation 

instructions provided in the literature 

package for this oven.

• User Servicing—Do not repair or replace 

any part of the appliance unless specifi-

cally recommended in the manuals. All 

other servicing should be done only by a 

qualified technician. This reduces the risk 

of personal injury and damage to the 

oven.

• Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified 

technician and an authorized repair 

service. Know how to disconnect the 

power to the oven at the circuit breaker or 

fuse box in case of an emergency.

• Never modify or alter the construction of 

an oven by removing the leveling legs, 

panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/

screws, or any other part of the oven. 

• Remove the oven door from any unused 

oven if it is to be stored or discarded.
