TheCalifornia SafeDrinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California topublish a list of
substances known to thestate tocause cancer,birth defects
or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers ofpotential exposure tosuch substances.
Thefiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very
small amount ofcarbon monoxide during thecleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury, If your model hasa
surface light, youmust racycle thefluorascent light bulb
according tolocal, state and federal codes.

Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain

contain less tat and rnore water. Tile high rnoisture content of these
