9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

•

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.

Cookware Safety

•

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.
