important Safety Notice and

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 expo-

sures 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, includ-
ing 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 inthe 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

the door when "LOCK" is displayed.

o Avoid [ouching cooktop, door. window or oven vent area

during a clean cycle

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish
or around any part of the oven. The!. will damage the

finish or parts.

The self-clean cycle usesabove-normal cooking temperatures

to automatiealb dean the oven intenor.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during

cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to dean the
oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-

up of soii in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well

ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Se f-C eaning

1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn
out during the clean cycle.

2. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the
oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily

after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.

3. Clean oven frame, door frame, area outside of gasket, and
around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive

cleaner such as Bon AmP or detergent and water. The
self-cleaning process does not clean these areas. They

should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during
the clean cycle. (The gasket is the

seal around the oven door and
window}. \,,

4. To prevent damage, do not clean or
rub the gasket around the oven

door. The gasket is designed to
seal in heat during the clean cycle.

5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom.
This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming

during the clean cycle.

6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet
potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel

is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may
discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a self-clean
