2. INSTALLATION
-  Before installation, make sure that the voltage and frequency listed on the ID plate correspond with
the household electrical supply. This data must be the same to prevent injury or damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
-  Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
-  To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, the appliance must always be continuously
connected to an effective grounding system. This basic safety requirement must be met. If there is
any doubt, have your household electrical system checked by a qualified electrician. 
-  The manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused by the lack or inadequacy of an effective
grounding system or the failure to meet the requirements of national and local electrical codes.
-  The oven should not be operated until it has been properly installed within the cabinetry.
-  Installation, maintenance and repair work should be performed by an authorized service technician.
Work by unqualified persons can be dangerous and may void the warranty.
-  Before installation or service, disconnect the power supply to the work area by “tripping” the circuit
breaker, or shutting off the main power.
2.1 Oven Use
  WARNING
BURN HAZARD
This oven can produce high temperatures that can cause burns.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, personal injury, or damage when using
the oven, follow the basic precautions, including the following:
-  Prevent children from touching the appliance when in use.
-  Use heat-resistant pot holders when placing items in the oven, shifting them, or removing them
from the oven. The upper heating element and oven racks can become very hot and cause burns.
-  To prevent burns, always place the oven racks at the desired height while the oven is cool. 
-  Always open the door carefully. Allow hot air or steam to exit before food is placed in the oven or
removed.
-  To prevent burns, allow the heating element to cool before cleaning by hand.
-  Only clean the parts listed in this manual.
CAUTION: heating elements may be hot even if not glowing. During and after use, do not allow clothing
or other flammable materials to enter into contact with the heating elements or interior surfaces of the
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. External parts of the oven such as the oven door glass,
vent openings and the control panel may also become hot.
