Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners or oven liners of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils, and wipe off excessive spillovers to prevent excessive smoke or flare ups. important Safety Notice and The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65} requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle. UMPORTANT NOTUCE REGARDUNG PET BURDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful. Save These instructions for Future Reference 3
