IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish alist 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 anopen window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

result in ignition of clothing. Proper relafionship of cookware tosurface unit will also improve efficiencv.
_: Never leave the surfl_ce units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilove_ cause smoking
and greasy spillove_ that may catch on fire.
_: Only certain b'pes of glass, glassXeramic,
earthenware or other glazed containe_ are
suitable for cooktop service; othe_ may break
because of the sudden change in temperatm'e.

NOTE" Foods that spoil easily--such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork--should not be allowed to sit for
more than 1hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that
the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
