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.
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.
Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.
