BEFORE USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
Start the oven in Bake mode at the highest available temperature setting.
Allow oven to run for 1 hour to remove any dust or impurities. There will be a
distinctive odor - this is normal. Ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during
this conditioning period.
OVEN VENT
Areas near the vent above the oven door may become hot during operation
and may cause burns. Avoid placing plastics near the vent as heat may distort
or melt the plastic.
Do not block the vents (air openings) of the oven. They provide the air inlet
and outlet that are necessary for the oven to keep cool and operate properly.
It is normal for steam to be visible when cooking foods with high moisture
content.
OVEN DOOR
To avoid oven door glass breakage:
• Do not close the oven door if the racks are not fully inserted into the oven
cavity or if bakeware extends past the front edge of an oven rack.
• Do not set objects on the glass surface of the oven door.
• Do not hit glass surfaces with bakeware or other objects.
• Do not wipe down glass surfaces until the oven has completely cooled.
WARNING
FOOD POISONING HAZARD
• Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
• Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry,
should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should
not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and
should be removed promptly when finished cooking.
