IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE

The Califomio Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of

California to publish o 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.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any

reason, make sure the device is properly engaged
when you push the range back against the wall.

If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range

tipping over and causing injury if you or a child
stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in

this manual. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives
off a very sma!l amount of carbon monoxide

during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be
minimized bg venting with on open window

or using o ventilation fan or hood.

materials accumulate in or near the range.

iiiiiiiiiiii_iii

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a well-fitting

lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguishe[
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out

by covering it with baking soda or, if available,
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or

foam-type fire extinguishe[

Flame in the oven or warming drawer can be
smothered completely by closing the door

and turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguishen

Do not touch the surface units, the heating

elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn

even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact, the surface

units, areas nearby the surface units or any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time

for cooling first.

Potentiallg hot surfaces include the cooktop,

areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around
the oven door and metal trim parts above

SURFACEUNITS--ALLMODELS

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 the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency,

Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break

because of the sudden change in

temperature.
To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition of

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

center of the range without extending over

nearby surface units.

Always turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. Ifyou do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Keepan eye on foods being fried at highor

medium high heat settings.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh

foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.

Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat

frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.

Ifa combination of oilsorfats will beused in

frying, stirtogether before heating,or asfats
melt slowlg.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.

Type of Margarine Will Affect Baking Performance!

Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high fat products 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.

Federalstandards require products labeled
"margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by

weight. Low-fat spreads,on the other hand,
contain lessfat and more water The high

moisture content of these spreadsaffects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For

best resultswith gour old favorite recipes,

Recipefailurecan result ifcakes,pies,
pastries,cookiesorcandiesare made with

use margarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

low fat spreads. The lower the fat content
of a spread product, the more noticeable

these differences become.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheatthe oven if the recipe calls for it.

Topreheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for

good resultswhen baking cakes,cookies,

pastry and breads.

Forovens without a preheat indicator light or

tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as

possible.Pansshould not touch each other
or the walls of the oven.If you need to use
two shelves,stagger the pans soone is

not directly above the other, and leave
approximately lY/' from the front of the

pan to the front ofthe shelf.

On some models,the display will show "PRE"

while preheating. When the oven reaches the

selectedtemperature, the ovencontrol will
beep and the display will show theoven

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foilon the bottom of
the oven.

Never entirelg cover a shelfwith aluminum
foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and

result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil mag be used to

catch a spillover bg placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.
