WARNING
General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic safety precau-
tions, including the following:
To prevent injury due to the unit tipping forward,
15.
secure the oven to the cabinet using the supplied 
mounting screws.
Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
16.
plastic and cloth away from hot surfaces. Do not put 
such items in the oven. Do not allow pot holders to 
touch hot surfaces.
Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using
17.
the oven. Do not allow clothing to come into contact 
with the interior of the oven and the surrounding 
areas during and immediately after use.
Do not use the oven for storage.
18.
Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven during
19.
use. After use, make sure these surfaces have had 
sufficient time to cool before touching them.
Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven
20.
during the self-clean cycle. They will be hot. Venting 
from the oven may cause the trim to become hot.
For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without
21.
the convection filter installed. When the filter is not 
installed, the spinning fan blades at the back of the 
oven are exposed.
Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to
22.
birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated 
room during cooking.
To prevent damage, remove the meat probe from
23.
the oven when it is not being used.
Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other
24.
materials. These items can melt or burn up during 
self-cleaning and cause permanent damage to the 
oven.
Do not leave metal objects, such as aluminum foil,
25.
the meat probe, cookie sheets, etc. on the bottom 
of the oven. Objects left on the bottom of the oven 
could damage the bake element. In addition, the 
objects themselves could be damaged.
Do not allow heating elements in the top and
26.
bottom of the oven chamber to become covered 
up by cookie sheets, aluminum foil, pots, pans, etc. 
Covering the heating elements could cause them to 
over-heat, damaging the oven.
Always ensure that the light fixture lens covers
27.
are in place when using the oven. The lens covers 
protect the light bulbs from breakage caused by 
high oven temperatures or mechanical shock.
