IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The Californb Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of Californb 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 tosuch 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.

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.

Oven Moisture

Baking results will be better if baking

pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one

pan, place the pans so each has at least 1"

(2.5 cm) to 1½" (3.8 cm) of air space

around it.

Y_)ur oven is vented through one vent

located toward the rear ot the range, Do

not block this vent when cooking in the
oven--it is important that the flow oI hot

air fl'om the oven and fl'esh air to the

oven burner be uninterrupted, Avoid

touching the vent openings or nearby
surfaces duringoven or broiler operation--

they may become hot

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate

the electric i_?nitionoven during an electrical

power failure.

The oven or broiler cmmot be lit dtwing a
power fifilm'e, Gas will not flow tmless the

If the oven is in use when a power fifilm'e
