IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

TheCallfomia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Govemor of Callfomia 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.

Thefiberglass 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 or hood.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the

broiler pan and broiler grid. Howevel;

you must mold the foil tightly to the grid

and cut slits in itjust like the grid.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent J[at

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 essentially

fiTing, not broiling.

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 1V2"of air space around it. Kbaking

four cake layers at the .same time, place

two layers on rack B and two layers on
rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one

is not directly above the othm:

A smaller sheet of fbil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower

Adjust the oventhermostat--Do it yourself!

Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few

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 not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetypeofmargarine 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 a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at [east 80% fat by weight. Low fiatspreads,
on the oflmr hand, con 'tain less fht and more water. _12qehigh moisture conmnt of these spreads affects the

texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old iCavoriterecipes, use margarine, butter or
stick spreads containing at [east 70% vegetable oil.
