IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using the oven, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
■ WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
■ WARNING: 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 and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
■
WARNING: NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes.
Doing so restricts air to the burners and may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning.
■ CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above an oven – children climbing on the oven to
reach items could be seriously injured.
■ Proper Installation – The oven, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Be sure the oven is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
■ This oven is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for your protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
■ Disconnect power before servicing.
■ Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or
drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors
or drawers.
