Important Safety Instructions

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

 

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appliance,

 

especially a door, warming drawer or storage drawer. This can damage the appli-

 

ance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.

 

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult.

 

Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the ap-

 

pliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not

 

the appliance is in use.

 

CAUTION - Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in

 

cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an appli-

 

ance to reach items could be seriously injured.

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 Enforce-

 

ment 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 burn-

 

ing 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 cy-

 

cles. California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monox-

 

ide 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.
