Important Safety Notice and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires
the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances. 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.
