by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly 

grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for

supply and call a qualified technician.

When removing the door make sure oven is cool and

The oven door is heavy and fragile. Use both hands to 

remove the oven door. The door front is glass. Handle 

carefully to avoid breaking.

handle as it may swing in your hand and cause injury or 

damage.

result in personal injury or product damage.
Lay the door on a flat smooth surface so that the door 

cannot fall over. Failure to do so may result in personal 

injury or damage to the appliance.

To avoid injury from hinge bracket snapping closed, be 

sure that both levers are securely in place before 

removing door. Also, do not force door open or closed - 

the hinge could be damaged and injury could result.

Make sure the appliance and lights are cool and power 

to the appliance has been turned off before replacing the 

light bulb(s). Failure to do so could result in electrical 

shock or burns.The lenses (if equipped) must be in place

to protect the light bulb from breaking.The lenses (if 

equipped) are made of glass. Handle carefully to avoid 

breaking. Broken glass can cause an injury.

Light socket is live when door is open if main power 

supply is not turned off.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven 

bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as 

aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven.

hazard.

ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the appliance and 

disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.

with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
