IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICEI
The California Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement 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
businesses to warn their
customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in
self.cleaning oven will give off a
very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by
venting with an open door or
window or using a ventilation fan or
hood.
WARNING!
_To prevent accidental tipping
of the range from abnormal
usage, including excessive
loading of the oven door,
attach it to the wall or floor by
installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.
If the range is moved for cleaning,
servicing or any reason, be sure the
Anti-Tip device is re.engaged properly
when the range is slid back in the
opening. Failure to do so could result in
the range tipping or personal injury.

To help eliminate this odor; ventilate the
room by opening a window or using a
vent hood,
IMPORTANT:
Never cover the oven
bottom or oven rack
with aluminum foil
Improper use can
cause poof heat flow,
poor baking results,
and may damage the
oven finish,

elemenL This area could become hot during
oven use_ The vent is important for proper air

carl for preheating. Preheating is bringing the
temperature up to the temperature you will be
using during baking When the oven has
reached the preheat temperature, a tone will
sound Have foods nearby ready to place in
the oven° t0
Opening the door often to check foods will
cause heat loss and poor baking results,

keeps all electrical parts from overheating it
is not uncommon for this fan to keep running
even after the oven is turned off_
