California Safe Drinking Water

and T oxic Enforcement Act (Proposition 65)

The Governor of California is required to publish a list of substances known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

This appliance may contain or produce a chemical or chemicals which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from fuel combustion, make sure this appliance is installed, operated and maintained according to the instructions provided.

SURFACE BURNERS

1. Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Use of oversized utensils concentrates heat on cooking surface and can cause damage to range. Proper relationship of utensil to burner improves efficiency.

2. Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended—Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

3. Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

4. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner drip bowls or oven bottom, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

Cookware Recommendations

What Should You Consider in Cookware?

Flat Pan Test

For best cooking results, use a pan with a flat bottom. To determine if pan has a flat bottom:

1. Rotate a ruler along bottom of pan. If pan is not flat, gaps between bottom of pan and edge of ruler can be seen.

2. A small groove or mark on a pan does not affect cooking times. However, if a pan has a gap, formed rings, or an uneven bottom, it does not cook efficiently and in some cases may not boil liquids.

Flat bottomed cookware. Cookware with rounded or warped bottoms. Heavy gauge metal cookware. Light gauge metal cookware. Handles that are secure, that are not

heavy enough to tilt pan. Proper pan size. Cookware that is smaller than or greater than

Flat bottomed wok Wok with a ringstand on bottom.

SELECT AVOID

Cookware with loose or broken handles or heavy handles that tip pan when empty.

burner grate by 1 inch.

Can I can?

Canning is not recommended with any of the Amana gas ranges or cooktops due to the intense heat and large cookware required to can.

The high, sustained heat generated by the canning cookware overheats both the burners and the surface of the range or cooktop. This may cause damage to burners, knobs, or finish, and may even cause overheating of surrounding walls.

Damage incurred by canning, or attempting to can, is not covered under warranty.

If the next input is not made, display returns to time of day and programming information is lost.

Oven temperature control adjustment

Your range is calibrated at the factory for proper temperature. Due to individual variances and preferences, it may be necessary to adjust ovens once they have been installed.

When first using the oven, follow recipe times and temperatures. Before adjusting oven baking temperature, test a recipe by setting oven temperature higher or lower than the suggested temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how much of a temperature adjustment is required.

An accurate digital thermometer is necessary to calibrate the oven. Store purchased oven thermometers may not accurately measure oven temperature. Oven temperature can be increased or decreased by 35°F. To avoid over adjusting the oven, only adjust the temperature by 5°F each time.

NOTE: DO NOT place aluminum foil on racks and oven bottom as this

will alter oven performance. Check for blocked heat vents. If it still appears the oven is not performing as expected, a calibration may be done.

1. Press BAKE pad.
