IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

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.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessaiy' for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastiy and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat W minutes.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the

broiler pan and broiler grid. How’evei; you must mold the firil tightly to the giid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each

other or the walls of the oven. If you need

to use rtvo shelves, stagger the pans so one is not diiectly above the other, and leave approximately 114" between pans, from

the front, back and sides of the w’all.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of fi>il may' be used to

catch a spillover by jrlacing it on a low'er shelf several inches below’ the food.
