Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN -- Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent
openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to
the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/
or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and
make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After
the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your
cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
Do not heat or warm unopened
food containers.
Build-up
of
pressure
may cause the container
to burst and cause injury.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon)
in the oven. Alcohol
evaporates
at high temperatures.
There is a risk of burning as the alcohol
vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small quantities
of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.
Always
place oven racks in desired location
while oven is
cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder
contact the heating
elements.
Always use dry potholders.
Moist or damp potholders
on hot
surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth.
Secure all loose garments,
etc. before beginning.
Tie long
hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose
fitting clothing
or hanging garments,
such as ties, scarves,
jewelry, or dangling
sleeves.

old enough to use the appliance,
it is
the legal responsibility
of the parents or legal guardians

of the
appliance
by qualified
persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any
part of an appliance,
especially
a door, warming
drawer or
storage drawer. This can damage the appliance,
and the unit
may tip over, potentially
causing
severe injury.

unless closely
supervised
by an adult. Children
and pets should not be left
alone or unattended
in the area where the appliance
is in

in cabinets
above an appliance
or on the
backsplash.
Children
climbing on an appliance
to reach items
could be seriously
injured.
Cleaning Safety

while it is still hot. Some cleaners
produce
noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface.
Wet
cloths or sponges
can cause burns from steam.
