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 sub-
stances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by properly venting the
oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and!or
