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
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT block or obstruct the
any vents above or below the doors.
• 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.
WARNING
To prevent possible damage to cabinets and cabinet finishes, use only
materials and finishes that will not discolor or delaminate and will
withstand temperatures up to 194°F (90°C). Heat and moisture resistant
adhesive must be used if the product is to be installed in laminated
cabinetry. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that
the materials meet these requirements.
WARNING
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 oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include 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.
WARNING
This appliance features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the
oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and
deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after
completion of the self-clean cycle.
Note: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use of
these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the
porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with aluminum foil or other
materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the oven.
