WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock, or to prevent proper_/ damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
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 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.

A WARNING!
SURFACECOOKINGUNITS
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 relationship of co&ware to surface unit will
also improve efficiencg
_ZN(wer leave the surli_ce units unatt(nded
at high heat settings. Boilov(rs cause
smoking and greasy spillow_t_ that may catch on fire.
?_2Do not use ahmfinum foil to line the drip
pans or an?where in the oven, except as described in this matmal. Misuse could
rt sult in a shock, fire hazard or damage to tim range.
_2 Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct
arc not covered and art in plate. Th(ir absem e during cooking could damage
range pm-ts and wiring.
_4_;Only certain types of glass, glassA( mmic,
