ance if the conduit is damaged.
• This oven must be properly installed and grounded

install this appliance.
• Do not install, repair or replace any part of the oven
unless specifically recommended in the literature
accompanying it. A qualified service technician
must perform all other service.
• Before performing any type of service or installa-
tion, make sure that power to the oven is turned off
at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
• Only use the oven for cooking tasks expected of a
home appliance as outlined in the literature accom-
panying it. This oven is not intended for commercial
use.

• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the
area around the oven. Do not allow children to play
with the controls, pull on the handle or touch other

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
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
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.
• Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven during
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 dur-
ing 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
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
birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated
room during cooking.
• To prevent damage, remove the meat probe from
the oven when it is not being used.
• Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other
materials. These items can melt or burn up during
self-cleaning and cause permanent damage to the
oven.
• Do not leave objects, such as aluminum foil, the
meat probe, cookie sheets, etc. on the bottom of
the oven. Objects left on the bottom of the oven
could damage the oven. In addition, the objects
themselves could be damaged.
• Do not allow heating elements in the top 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. On some models, the heating elements
are behind glass panels.
• Always ensure that the light fixture lens covers are
in place when using the oven. The lens covers pro-
tect the light bulbs from breakage caused by high
oven temperatures or mechanical shock.
