• 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. The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of
soil during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monox-
ide.The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small amounts
of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists form-
aldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential
cause of reproductive toxicity. Exposure to these substances can be mini-
mized 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.
• Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths 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.
• Keep oven free from grease build up.
• Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
• Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.
• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent
spills and movement of the pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the sur-
face heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner
will also improve efficiency.
• Cookware not approved for use with glass ceramic cooktops may break with
sudden temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for glass
ceramic cooktops (only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable). See Cookware Selection
Guide for further details.
• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja-
cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of
fires, spills and burns.
• CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap can melt if in direct contact with
the drawer or a hot utensil. If it melts onto the drawer, it may not be remov-
able.
• CAUTION: To maintain food safety, follow these guidelines:
