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<leaning 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:
!. 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.
