IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFE TY NO TICE
• The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of Califbrnia 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 fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting
with an open window or using a ventilation
tim or hood.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to
four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete
combusuon of natural gas or LP fllels.
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a
bhfish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances can be minimized fl.wther
by venting with an open window or using a
ventilation fire or hood.
