WARNING!

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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers ofpotential exposure tosuch substances.

Gasappliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yeflow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan orhood.

Usingthe oven.

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

Before you begin...

Theoven has 5 shelf positions.

It also has a special low shelf
position (R)for extra large items,

such as a large turkey.

Plastic items on the cooktop may
melt if left too close to the venL

Vent appearance and location var_

Tile shelves have stoic-locks, so that when

pull tile shelf out to tile bum l) on tile

Oven Vent

Y()ur oven is vented through ducts at tile

rear of the range. Do not block these ducts
when cooking in the oven--it is important

that the flow of hot air fl'om the oven
and fl'esh air to tile oven burner be

tminterrul)ted. Avoid touching tile vent

openings or nea_q_y stu_hces (lurhlg oven or
broiler operation--they may become hot.

Toremove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt tile

ti'ont end up and pull it out.

TOreplace, l)lace the end ot the shelf
(stopqocks) on the sui)port, tilt up the

front and push the shelf in.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the o\_n if the Iecipe calls for it.

preheat 10rnbutes.

Aluminum Foil

Do notuse aluminum foil on thebottom of

the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with ahlI//intlIll

and result in poor baking.

A snlaller sheet of ti)il nlav be used to catch

a spillover by plating it Oil a lower shelf
several inches beh)w the ti)od.

Baldng results will be better if baldng pans
