9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•
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 customers 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. California 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.
•
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.
•
Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the
oven.
•
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.
