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 anopen window or using a ventilation

fan or hood.

Useproper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms largo enough tocover the surface unit heating

element.Theuse ofundersized cookware will exposea portion ofthe surface unit todirect contact andmav
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relafionship of cookware tosurface unit will also improve efficiencv.

_: Never leave the surfl_ce units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilove_ cause smoking
and greasy spillove_ that may catch on fire.

_: Only certain b'pes of glass, glassXeramic,

earthenware or other glazed containe_ are
suitable for cooktop service; othe_ may break

because of the sudden change in temperatm'e.

_: To minin/ize the possibiliQ' of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such asbutter or margarine (80% fat). If you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higherfat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the
