Electrical
Connection
Appliances which require
electrical power are equipped
with a three-prong
grounding plug
which must be
plugged directly into
a properly grounded
three-hole 120 volt electrical outlet.
Always disconnect power to appliance be-
fore servicing.
The three-prong grounding plug offers pro-
tection against shock hazards.
DO NOT
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD
GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD PLUG.
If an ungrounded, two-hole or other type
electrical outlet is encountered,
it is the
personal responsibility of the appliance
owner to have the outlet replaced with a
properly grounded and polarized three-
hole electrical outlet.
Important Safety
Notice and
Warning
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 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 in-
complete combustion. Exposure to these sub-
stances can also be minimized by properly
venting the burners to the outdoors.
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 res-
piratory system. Fumes released during an
oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or
fatal to birds. Fumes released due to over-
heated cooking oil, fat, margarine and over-
heated non-stick cookware may be equally
harmful.
