The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Califomb 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.
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.
IMPORTAN7?Thehealth of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during
the self-cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
