tive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure
to such substances.
1) The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-
cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide.
2) The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small
amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.
3) California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon
Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
4) 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 clean-
ing 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 nox-
ious 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.
•
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent
spills and movement of the pan.
•
Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or
burner will also improve efficiency.
•
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja-
cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk
of fires, spills and burns.
•
Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety
risks.
•
WARNING: When properly cared for, your new appliance has been
designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use.
These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and
injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions
must be followed, including those in the following pages.
•
Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it
