customers of potential exposure to substances
which are known by the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm.
• The elimination of soil during self-cleaning
generates some by-products which are on this
list of substances.
• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives
off a very small amount of formaldehyde during
the first several cleaning cycles.
• To minimize exposure to these substances, always
operate this unit according to the instructions
contained in this booklet and provide good
ventilation to the room during and immediately
after self-cleaning the oven.
• Never use the oven to warm or heat a room.
Such use can damage the oven parts.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose
fitting or hanging garments should never be worn
while using this appliance. Tie long hair so that it
doesn't hang loose.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specifically recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred to an
authorized servicer.
