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
.
About Your Appliance
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.

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.
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 range or oven as a
storage area for food or cooking utensils.

touch a hot oven
light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should

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.
