obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Restriction of air flow to the

Important Safety Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65)
requires the Governor of California to publish
a list of substances known to the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of the potential exposures to such
substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that
the burning of gas can result in low-level
exposure to some of the listed substances,
including benzene, formaldehyde and soot,
due primarily to the incomplete combustion of
natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels.
Properly adjusted burners will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure in these
substances can also be minimized by properly
venting the burners to the outdoors.
Baking Accessories
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional cook-ware. Do
not use any devices or accessories that are not
specifically recommended in this manual. Do
not use add-on oven convection systems. The
use of devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this manual can
create serious safety hazards, result in
performance problems, and reduce the life of
the components of the appliance.
