IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement 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 fiberglass insulation in self-clean
ovens gives off a very small amount of
carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with
an open window or using a ventilation fan
or hood.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure
to four of these substances, namely
benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde
and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a
bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by venting
with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
WARNING:
When using your appliance, follow basic
safety precautions, including the following:
• Have the installer show you the location of
the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn
it off if necessary.
• Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the range before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packing
material ignite.
• After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of
use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such use.
Never install it directly over interior kitchen
carpeting.
• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations and areas with
poor air circulation.
WARNING:
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater
to heat or warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
WARNING:
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages
in the oven bottom or an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so
blocks air flow through the oven and may
also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
