Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR 
SURFACES OF OVEN — Heating elements may be hot 
even when they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an 
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after 
use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other 
flammable materials contact heating elements or interior 
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. 
Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to 
cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent 
openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to 
the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/
or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and 
make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After 
the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your 
cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or 
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of 
pressure may cause the container to burst and cause 
injury.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content 
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.  Alcohol 
evaporates at high temperatures.  There is a risk of burning 
as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven.  Use only 
small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door 
carefully.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is 
cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let 
potholder contact the heating elements.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on 
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let 
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel 
or other bulky cloth.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long 
hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose 
fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, 
jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it 
is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to 
ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the 
appliance by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on 
any part of an appliance, 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
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.
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.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in 
an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on 
the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance 
to reach items could be seriously injured.
WARNING
State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
This product contains chemicals known to the State 
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other 
reproductive harm.
