Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if ap- plied to a hot surface.

Self-Cleaning Ovens

Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essen- tial for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils and wipe up excessive spillovers to prevent excessive smoke, flare-ups or flaming.

It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle. There- fore, touching the cooktop during a clean cycle should be avoided.

Important Safety Notice and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition

65)requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or repro- ductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize in- complete combustion. Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by prop- erly venting the burners to the outdoors.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when it is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be low level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure can be mini- mized by properly venting the oven to the outdoorsduringtheself-cleancyclebyopen- ing a window and/or door in the room where the appliance is located.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
