IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gasappliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovensgives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

will give the best simmer results fl)r
delicate fi)ods, Stlch as satlces or fi)ods
which need to cook over low heat tot a
long time. It can be turned down to a ve_'
low setting.
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides of the cookware.
_'m'h the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. The flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware

Using the probe. (onsome models) www.GEAppliances.com
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact aloneness you want.
Thetemperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and a
plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet h7the oven.
Use of probes other than the one
proxided with this product ma) result in
