IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Califomb 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 inself-clean ovens gives off a very smafl 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.
Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury. If your model has asurface light, you must recycle the

fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken.

Do not store flammable materials in
an oxen or near the cooktop.

CAUTION: temsofinterestto

chiktren should not be stored in cabinets

above a rang_ or on tile backsplash of a
rang_--<hildren climbing on the rang_

Nexer wear loose-fitting or hanging
gammnts while using the appliance.

Be carefltl when reaching for imms stored
oxer tile rang_. Flammable mamrial could
be ignited if brought in contact with hot

surface units or heating elements and may
cause sex>re bllins.

Use only dtT pot holders---moist or damp
pot holders on hot surl_aces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holdet_

touch hot surPace units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other

bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

Do not/tse water on grease fires. Nexer
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off'. Smother a flaming pan on a surface

unit by covenng the pan completely wiflt

a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or fiat tray.

Use a muld-pu_l)ose dU chemical or

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by co\>ting it with baking soda or;
if available, by using a mulfi-pu_l)ose d_T

O 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 the surface unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also

improve efficiencg

Never leave fire surPace units unattended

at higil heat setfing:s. Boilox.ers cause
smoking and greasy spillo_.ers that m W

catch on fire.

Only certain types of glass, gtassA:eramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers

are suitable for cooktop service; others
m W break because of the sudden chang.e
in temperature.

To minimize the possibility of bums,
ignition of flammable materials and

spillage, the handle of a container

should be ummd toward rim cenmr of

the rang.e without exmnding over nearby

surPace units.

Always mm the surface units off before

removing cookware.

When preparing flaming fbods under

rite hood, unn the fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The

glass surPace of the cooktop will retain heat

after rite conuols have been turned off:

Kee I) an eye on foods being flied at high
or medium higil heat setting:s.

Foods for flTing should be as &T as
possible. Frost on flozen foods or moisture

on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and ox.er the sides of the pan.

Use litde tilt for eflecfive shallow or deep
tht flTing. Filling the pan too fltll of Pat
can cause spillovers when food is added.

If a combination of oils or Pats will be used
in fEving, stir tog.ether before heating, or

as Pats melt slowly.
Always heat fi_t slowly, and watch as it heats.

Use a deep fat thermomemr whenex.er
possible to prex.ent ox.eflteafing tilt beyond

rite smoking point.
Avoid scratching the glass cookmp.

The cooktop can be scratched with imms

such as sharp instruments, fing_s or oflter

jewelry, and fix.ets on clothing.

Do not operate rim radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution m W penetrate a broken cooktop

and cream a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified mchnician immediamly

should your glass cooktop become broken.
Ne_.er use the glass cooktop surPace as

a cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt

or catch fire on the glass cooktop, ex.en

when it is not being used.
Be careflfl when placing spoons or other

stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface

when it is in use. They may become hot

and could cause b/tlllS.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet

spong.e or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot surPace unit, be cat.efltl to ax_id

steam bums. Some cleaners can produce
noxious flnnes if applied to a hot surface.

NOTE."_A:erecommend that you ax_id

wiping any surface unit areas until they

have cooled and the indicator light has
g_ne off'. Sugar q)ills at.e the exception
to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.

When the cooktop is cool, use only rite
recommended cleaning cream to clean
rite cooktop.

To avoid possible damag.e to the cooking

Silt'Pace, do not apply cleaning cream to

the glass surface when it is hot.

After cleaning, use a d U cloth or paper

towel to remox.e all cleaning cream
residue.

Read and follow all instructions and

warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
Larg.e scratches or impacts to glass

doors or cooktops can lead to broken
or shatmred glass.

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

as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least

1 to 1½" of air space around it. If baking

tour cake layers at the same time, place
two laye_ on rack B and two lave_ on

rack D. Stagger the pans on the rack so
one is not directly above the other:

Cut stirs f17the foil just like the grid.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum flfil to line the

broiler pan and broiler grid. However;

wm must mold the foil tightly to the grid

and cut slits in it just like the g6d.

Without the slits, the toil will prevent lilt

and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you

do not cut the slits, you are essenfiallv
flTing, not broiling.

Do not usealuminum foi/ on thebottom of

the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum fifil. This Mll disturb the heat

drculafion and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of toil may be used to

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

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!

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 ahigherfat product

Recipe failure can result ff cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. Thelower the

fat content of aspread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled "I//_lI'g_lI'ille" to ('ont_lin at least 80% tilt by weight. Ixm' tilt spreads, on tile
other hand, contain less tilt and more water; The high moisture content of these spreads affects tile 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.
