Warnings

Important Safety Notice and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition

65)requires the Governor of California 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. Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.

Important notice regarding pet birds:

NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

WARNING

To avoid risk of injury or death, NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also, DO NOT use the rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.

About Your Appliance

•For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT block or obstruct the oven vent duct located on the right side of the air grille.

•Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after oven is turned off. When the oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off, DO NOT touch the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

•Other potentially hot surfaces include rangetop, areas facing the rangetop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven door, areas around the oven door and oven window.

•The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can result in potential hazards and/or injuries.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

To avoid risk of injury or death, DO NOT touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance before

removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.

WARNING

BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK

HAZARD

To avoid risk of injury or death, Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before

cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.

CAUTION

To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours.

NOTICE

DO NOT turn the temperature control on during defrosting. Turning the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food without the heat.

CAUTION

BURN HAZARD

To avoid risk of injury, DO NOT touch the glass. The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot during usage.
