Cleaning Safety
• 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 defects 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) 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.
Cookware Safety
• 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 surface 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.
• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do
not extend over adjacent 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 removable.
Food Safety
• CAUTION: To maintain food safety, follow these
guidelines:
1) DO NOT use a warming drawer to heat cold food
(exception: it is safe to use the drawer to crisp
crackers, chips or dry cereal and to warm plates).
2) Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The
USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or
warmer.
3) DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
