IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment 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 busi-
nesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
OVEN FIRE
Do not try to move the pan.
1. Close oven door and turn controls off.
2. If fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire.
Never use water on a grease fire -- It will only
spread the flames.
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 hoed.
