1.10 State of California Proposition 65

Warnings

This product may contain a chemical known to the State

of California, which can cause cancer or reproductive

harm. Therefore, the packaging of your product may bear

the following label as required by California:

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe

Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the

Governor of California to publish a list of substance known

to the state to cause cancer, birth defect 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:

¡ Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.

¡ Providing good ventilation during and immediately after

self-cleaning the oven.

¡ Operating the unit according to the instructions in this

manual.

ergy-saving

Environmental protection and energy-saving

3.1 Disposal of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible

and can be recycled.

▶

Sort the individual components by type and dispose of

them separately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these recommendations, your appliance will

use less energy.

Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-

mended settings tell you to do so.

a

Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy

used.

Use dark-colored, black-coated or enameled baking pans.

a

These types of baking pans absorb the heat particularly

well.

Open the appliance door as little as possible during opera-

tion.

a

This will maintain the temperature in the oven cavity

and eliminate the need for the appliance to reheat.

When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in

parallel.

a

The oven cavity is heated after baking the first dish.

This reduces the baking time for the second dish.

If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the

appliance off 10minutes before the cooking time ends.

a

There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the

dish.

en-us Familiarizing yourself with your appliance

10

Remove any accessories that are not being used from the

oven cavity.

a

Accessories that are not being used do not need to be

heated.

Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.

a

This will save the energy that would otherwise be re-

quired to defrost it.

WARNING

Trapped heat and the use of metallic liners may result in a

risk of electric shock or fire.

▶

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners on any part

of the appliance, especially the oven bottom.

▶

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven

bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as

aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the

oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing

a fire hazard.

CAUTION

A build-up of heat can damage the appliance or cause in-

jury.

▶

Do not place anything on the bottom of the oven cavity.

▶

Always place cookware in the perforated cooking pan or

on a rack.

▶

Do not cover the bottom of the oven cavity with alu-

minum foil.

▶

Do not place the broiler pan on the bottom of the oven

cavity to catch spills. It will damage the surface of the

oven cavity bottom.

Convection fan

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat

evenly and continuously within the oven.

This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking

and excellent results using multiple racks at the same

time.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes.

The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air

may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan

may also run after the oven is off.

Oven vent

Warm air may be released from the oven vent before, dur-

ing and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping

from the vent, and condensation may collect in this area.

This area may be warm when the oven is in use.

CAUTION

The oven vents are important for air circulation. Covering

the oven vents will cause the oven to overheat. Refer to

the appliance overview for the location of the oven vents.
