IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a
list of substances known to the state to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.
The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination
of soil during self-cleaning can generate small
amounts of Carbon Monoxide.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off
very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first
several cleaning cycles.
California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of
cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential cause of
reproductive toxicity.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with
gas
2. Providing good ventilation during and
immediately after self cleaning the oven.
3. Operating the unit according to the instructions
in this manual.
WARNING
When used in accordance with its intended purposes
and properly cared for, your new Siemens range has
been designed to be a safe, reliable appliance. Read
all instructions carefully before using this range.
These precautions will reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. Do not
operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is
broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may
penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately should your glass control panel become
broken. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety
precautions must be followed, including those in the
following pages.
