9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN — Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent
openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to
the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/
or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and
make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After
the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your
cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning
as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only
small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door
carefully.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact the heating elements.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long
hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose
fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves,
jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it
is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians
to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the
appliance by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer
or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the
unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left
alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in
use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity,
whether or not the appliance is in use.
9 CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in
an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on
the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance
to reach items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
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.
9 WARNING
State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
This product contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
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.
