Important Safety Instructions

- Oven Mitts: Always use oven mitts when inserting or removing hot items.
The manual also provides information on electrical connections, emphasizing the use of a short power cord to reduce entanglement risks, and advises on the appropriate use of extension cords if necessary. It specifies that power cord fixing and replacement should be handled by professionals.
