WARNING!

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California to

publish 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.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon ,

monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open _,
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

If your model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during convection cooking. Thelatch is used for

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time
while using convection cooking.

h? a COl?Veetiol? oveR, a fat?

circulates hot air over, under and
around the food. This circulating hot
air is evenly distributed throughout
the oven cavity. As a result, foods
are evenly cooked and browne_
often fit less time than with regular

heat.

between convection bake and roast and
