• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• When cleaning door and oven surfaces, use only mild,
nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or
soft cloth.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven:
a. Do not overcook food. Watch appliance carefully if paper,
plastic, or other combustible materials are inside.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from plastic cooking bags before
placing bags in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door
closed, turn the oven off, disconnect the power cord, or
