IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The Californb Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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 to such 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 ye#ow 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 sma# 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 Vent
Ybm" 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
Handlesofpotsandpansonthecooktopmay
becomehotif left toodosetothevenL
Donot leaveplastic items on the cooktop--
theymay melt if left too closeto the venL
Donot leaveany items on thecooktop. Thehot
air from the vent mayignite flammableitems
and will increasepressurein closedcontainers,
whichmay cause themto burst.
Metal items will becomeveryhot if theyare
left on the cooktop,and couldcause burns.
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
glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power fifilm'e
occm_, the oven bm'ner shuts off and
cannot be re-lit tmfil power is restored.
This is bec;mse the flow of gas is
automatically stopped and will not resume
when power is restored tmtil the glow bar
