especially when using high heat. An un

attended boilover could cause smokinc..

and a greasy spillovercan cause a fire.

This appliance is equippedwith differen

size surface elements. Select pans witt"

flat bottoms large enough to cove

element. Fitting pan size to element wi!

improve cooking efficiency.

If pan is smaller than element, a portior

of the elementwill be exposed to direc

contact and could ignite clothing o

TheCaliforniaSafeDrinkingWaterand Toxic

Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65)

requires the Governorof California to pub-

lish a list of substances known to the State

of Californiato causecancer or reproductive

harm, and requiresbusinessesto warn cus-

tomers of potential exposuresto such sub-

stances.

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 someof the listed substances,

including carbon monoxide. Exposure to

these substancescanbe minimizedbyprop-

erly venting the ovento the outdoors during

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET

BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen

or in roomswherethefumesfrom thekitchen

piratory system. Fumes released during an

oven self-cleaningcycle may be harmful or

fatal to birds. Fumes released due to over-

heatedcooking oil, fat, margarineand over-
