Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appli-
ance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
•
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an
adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
Cleaning Safety
•
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of sub-
stances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure
to such substances.
a) The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-
cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide.
b) 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.
c)
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.
•
The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning
can generate some by-products which are on the list. To minimize exposure to
these substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions con-
tained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.
•
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet clothes or sponges can cause
burns from steam.
•
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door
does not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact service.
•
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the
kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During self
clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes
such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.
•
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the cooktop to cool.
Clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper
operation.
•
Keep oven free from grease build up.
Cookware Safety
•
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
•
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.
CAUTION:
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the back-
splash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items
could be seriously injured
.
CAUTION:
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do
not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.
