The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65)
requires the Governor of California to pub-
lish a list of substances known to the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn cus-
tomers of potential exposures to such sub-
stances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that when the oven is engaged in the self-
clean cycle, there may be some low-level
exposure to some of the listed substances,
including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by properly
venting the oven to the outdoors by opening
the windows and/or door in the room where
the appliance is located during the self-clean
cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS:
Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from
the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released
during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be
harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due
to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be
equally harmful.
