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 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.

SAFETYPRECAUtiONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS

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

element.Theuse ofundersized cookware will exposea portion of the surface unit to direct contact andmav result in ignition of clothing. Proper relafionship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiencv.

_: Never leave the surfi_ce units unattended at

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

_: Only certain b'pes of glass, glassX eramic,

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

because of tile sudden change in temi)erature.

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

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

center of tile range without extending over nearby SUll'ilce units.

_: Mwavs turn tile sm_ilce units off before

i'ei/loving cookware.

::Ji::X4]/en preparing flaming foods under the

::Ji::Use little tilt for effective shallow or deep

lilt fl'ying. Filling the pan too flfll of lilt can cause sI)illoveI_ when food is added.

::Ji::If a combination of oils or lilts will be used

in flying, stir together before heating, or as lilts melt slowly

::Ji::Alwm:s heat lilt slowly, and watch as it heats. ::J?::Use a deep tilt tl/emlometer whenever

Toavoid possible bums, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin...

The oven has 6 rack positions.

The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on tile supports, tile}' will stop

before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

[]

\A]/en placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out tmtil it stops.

On some models, the bake heating element is trader the oven flora: Do not

place fl)ods on tile oven bottoil/ t()I" cooking.

Toremove a rack, pull it toward you,

tilt the ti'ont end up and pull it out.

Toreplace, place the end of the rack (stop-locl_s) on the support, tilt up the

ti'ont and push the rack in.

Aluminum Foil

Y}m can use ahmfinum fi)il to line tile

broiler pan and broiler grid. However;

you must mold the fifil tightly to the grid

and cut slits in it just like the grid.

_A]thout tile slits, tile fi)il will prevent tilt

and meat juices fl'om draining into the broiler pan. The juices could become

hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are essentially

flTing, not broiling.

Do not usealuminum foi/ onthe bottom of

the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with almninmn fi)il. This will distm'b tile heat

circulation and result in poor 1)aking. A smaller sheet of fi)il may be used to

catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the toed.

NOTE" Foods that spoil easily--such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork--should not be allowed to sit for more than 1hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
