Safety

CAUTION:

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

		IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
		The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Gov-
		ernor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to
		cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires busi-
		nesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
		1) The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-
		cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide.
		2) The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small
		amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.
		3) California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon
		Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
		4) Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
		a) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
		b) Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self
		cleaning the oven.
		c) Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
Cleaning Safety	• Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce nox-
		ious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause
		burns from steam.
	• 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.
	• 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.
	• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent
		spills and movement of the pan.
	• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
		of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition
		of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
		surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
		units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or
		burner will also improve efficiency.
	• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja-
		cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk
		of fires, spills and burns.
	• Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the
		cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety
		risks.
