WARNING
When properly cared for, your new Bosch range has
been designed to be a safe, reliable appliance. Read all
instructions carefully before using this range. These
precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, and injury to persons. Do not operate the oven or
cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or
cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel
and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass control panel
become broken. When using kitchen appliances, basic
safety precautions must be followed, including those in
the following pages.
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 elimination of soil during self-cleaning
generates some by-products which are on
the list.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde
during the first several cleaning cycles.
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.
