Warning:
WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals including vinyl
chloride, which is known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
.
Note:
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 defect 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.
Operating the unit according to the instructions in this
manual.
