cooking activity when the door is opened.)
2 D
o not place any object (such as kitchen towels, napkins, etc.) between the oven front face and the door
or allow food or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

and that there is no damage to the: (1) door(bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loose), (3) door seals
and sealing surfaces.

time.
• Over cooking may result in the food catching on fire and subsequent damage to your oven.

temperature of it before consuming to avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars).
