When used in accordance with its intended purposes and properly cared for, your new Bosch range has been designed to be a safe, reliable appliance. Read all instructions carefully before using this range. These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including those in the following pages.

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.
