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.
