Safety Notice
and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition
65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers
of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance
are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to
some of the listed substances, including
benzene,
formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion
of natural gas or liquid petroleum
(LP) fuels.
Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete
combustion.
Exposure to these substances
can also be
minimized
by properly venting the burners to the out-
doors.
Users of this appliance
are hereby warned that when
the oven is engaged in the self-clean
cycle, there may
be some low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including
carbon monoxide. Exposure to
these substances
can be minimized
by properly venting
the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows
and/
or door in the room where the appliance
is located
during the self-clean
cycle.
IMPORTANT
NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS:
Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where
the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a
very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during
an oven self-cleaning
cycle may be harmful or fatal to
birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat,
margarine
and overheated
non-stick
cookware
may be
equally harmful.

The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the oven interior.
The oven should be cleaned regularly by wiping up spillovers
to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups, l:}o not allow a
heavy build-up of soil to accumulate in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well
ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Self-Cleaning
1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. Tile oven light may
burn out during the clean cycle.
2. Remove all pans, and oven racks from the oven. The oven
racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-
clean cycle if they are not removed.

outside of gasket, and around the
opening in the door gasket with a
nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami*
or detergent and water. The self-
cleaning process does not clean these
areas. They should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking
on during the clean cycle, O-he gasket is the seal around
