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 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.

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS

Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationshJ _of cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency.

at high heat settings, Boiloxers cause
smoking and greasy spilloxers that may

catch on fire.

J; Only certain types of glass, glassAeramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers

are suitable for cooktop service; others

may hreak because of tile sudden chang_
in temperature.

_{_To minimize the possihilitv of burns,
