California Safe Drinking Water

and Toxic Enforcement Act (Proposition 65)

The Governor of California is required to publish a list of substances known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

This appliance may contain or produce a chemical or chemicals which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from fuel combustion, make sure this appliance is installed, operated and maintained according to the instructions provided.

SURFACE BURNERS

1. Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one

or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils

having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Use of oversized utensils concentrates heat on cooking surface and can cause damage to range. Proper relationship of utensil to burner improves efficiency.

2.Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended—Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

3.Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

4.Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner drip bowls or oven bottom, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

5.Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.

6.Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extended Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

!CAUTION

To avoid delayed or improper ignition, do not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

!CAUTION

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
