IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish alist 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 orhood.
SAFETYPRECAUtiONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Use this appliance only fi)r its intended propose as described in this Owner's Manual.

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of _hesurface unit to direct
contact and may result in i)nifion of clothing, Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency.
Never leave the surfi_ce units unattended at high heat settings. Boilove_3 cause smoking
and greasy spillove_3 that may catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, glassA'eramic, earthenware or other glazed containe_3 are
suitable for cooktop service; othe_ may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
To minimize the possibili_' of bm'ns, ignition of flammable mamfials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over
nearby sm_i_ce milts.
Mwavs turn the sudi_ce units off before i'ei/loving cookware.
X4]/ell preparing flaming foods tinder the hood, ttli'n the lira on.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass sui_ilce of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls haxe been turned off.
Keep an eye on foods being flie(1 at high or medium high heat settings.
Foods fiw fl'ying should be as ch_' as possible.
_l'ost on ll"ozen lOo(|s or illoisttli'e on fi'esh
fi)ods can cause hot fi_t to bubble up and over the sides ot the pan.
Use little ti_t tot effective shallow or deep
ti_t fl'ying. Filling the pan too flfll of ti_t can cause spillove_ when tood is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in flTing, stir together before heating, or
as ti_ts melt slowly.
Mwavs heat ti_t slowly; and watch as it heats.
Use a deep ti_t them_ometer whenever possible to prevent overheating ti_t beyond the smoking point.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with imms such
as shaq) instruments, rings or otherjeweh> and rivets on clothing.
i_uge scratches or impacts to glass (loo_ or cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
Do not operate the radiant sm'ti_ce milts if the glass is broken. Spillove_ or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should yore" glass cooktop becoi//e broken.
Never use the glass cooktop SUltilce as a cutting board.
; Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
Be carefifl when placing spoons or other sorting utensils on glass cooktop sm'li_ce when
it is in use. Thev may become hot and could
C;l//se b//I'ns,
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
sm'fi_ce trait, be careflfl to avoid steam burns. Solile cleanei_ can pi'o(hlce nOXiOUS tillIleS i[
applied to a hot surfl_ce.
NOTE:"We recommend that you avoid wiping
any sm'fi_ce trait areas tmtil they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar
spills are the exception to this. Please see the

The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes
into the ouflet fl7the oven.

Adjusttheoventhermostat--Do it yourself!
Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one # replaced. Use your new oven for afew weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20_40 degrees. NOTE,"This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; # will not affect broiling, convection or
self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fatproducts such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. Thelower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. I,ow fat spreads, on tile other hand, contnin less tat and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
at baked goods. For best results with veto" old tm'orite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
