PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY
• Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can
result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with
the safety interlocks.
• Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.
It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (bent),
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
• The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (LOWER OVEN)
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF 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 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 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.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.
• Do not use harsh etching, abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the surface. Scratches may cause the glass to shatter.
• Do not leave items such as paper, cookware or food in the oven when not in use.
• Do not use this oven for purposes other than cooking.
• Never use paper products in the convection oven.
• Do not open the door when the oven is operating.
• Use oven gloves when removing the food and accessories after cooking as the oven &
accessories will be very hot.
• Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an
increased risk of breakage at a later time.
WARNING
If the door glass or oven heating unit of the oven are damaged, discontinue use of the
oven and call for service.
• Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven-safe lids only.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door. They could damage the
oven and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil
or any other material. Doing so will disrupt heat distribution, produce poor baking results
and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven)
