IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The Cafifornia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of Cafifornia to
publish a list 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.
Thefiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a verysmall 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.
