improve cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portior
of the elementwill be exposed to direc
contact and could ignite clothing o

ANDWARF!IFIG
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

piratory system. Fumes released during an
oven self-cleaningcycle may be harmful or
fatal to birds. Fumes released due to over-
