Safety
English 5
• Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause 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 potholder contact the heating
elements.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food
(i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bub-
bling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting.
Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Child Safety • When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal
responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are
instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an
appliance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can
damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe
injury.
• Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an
adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
Cleaning Safety • Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce nox-
ious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause
burns from steam.
• When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door
does not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact service.
• 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, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes
such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.
CAUTION:
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabi-
nets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an
appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Gov-
ernor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires busi-
nesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
1) The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-
cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide.
2) The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small
amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.
3) California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon
Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
4) Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
a) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
b) Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self
cleaning the oven.
c) Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
