SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•Tie long hair so that it doesn't hang loose.

•The heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns.

•During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the heating elements or the interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

•The trim on the top and sides of the oven door may become hot enough to cause burns.

•Use care when opening the door. Open the door slightly to let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

•Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

•Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

•Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot eating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WITH

SELF CLEANING OVEN

•Clean only oven parts listed in this manual.

•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, all oven racks, other utensils and excess soft spillage.

•Listen for fan. A fan noise should be heard some- times during the cleaning cycle. If no fan is heard, call for service. See Page 32.

WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm.

The elimination of soil during self-cleaning generates some by-products which are on this list of substances.

To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this oven according to the instructions in this manual and provide good ventilation to the room during and immediately after self-cleaning the oven.

REGARDING PET BIRDS

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 mode, fumes that may be harmful to birds are released. Other kitchen fumes, such as from overheating margarines and cooking oils, may also be harmful.
