IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn cus-
tomers of potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas cooking
fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate small amounts
of Carbon Monoxide.The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very
small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. Califor-
nia lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a
potential cause of reproductive toxicity.Exposure to these substances can be
minimized by:
1) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2) Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self cleaning
the oven.
3) Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
•
Do not clean the appliance 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.
•
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door
does not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact service.
•
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the
kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During self
clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes
such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.
•
Keep oven free from grease build up.
•
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
•
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.
