IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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 ovens gives 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.

The smaller bm'ner (right rear position)
will give the best simmer results for

delicate foods, such as sauces or foods

which need to cook over low heat for a
long time. It can be turned down to a very

low setting.

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames
extend up the sides of the cookware.

Baking results will be better if baking

pan, place the pans so each has at least

1" (2.5 cm) to 1½" (3.8 cm) of air space

arolmd it.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Aluminum Foil

"_)u can use aluminmn fifil to line tile

broiler pan and broiler grid. Howevex;

you must rooM tile fl)il tightly to tile grkl

and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Without tile slits, tile fl>il will prevent fill
and meat juices fl'om draining into tile

broiler pan, The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire, If you

do not cut the slits, you are essentially
fl'_ing, not broiling.

Donot use aluminumfoil on thebottom of
the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with
almninum fi>il. This will distuH) tile heat

plug at the other end that goes title
