IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement

Act requires the Governor of Califomb topublish a list of

substances known to the state to cause 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.

Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury, If your model has a
surface light, you must recycle the fluorescent light bulb
according to local, state and federal codes.
