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

gives off a very small amount of formaldehyde
during the first several cleaning cycles.
• To minimize exposure to these substances, always
operate this unit according to the instructions
contained in this booklet and provide good
ventilation to the room during and immediately
after self-cleaning the oven.
