SAFETY NOTICE
The

California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement
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 of potential
exposure to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in
self-cleaning 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.

SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS

● Preheat oven only when

necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary,
listen for the beep, and put food
oven promptly after the oven is
preheated.

● Always turn oven off before

removing food.

● During baking, avoid frequent

door openings. Keep door open as
short a time as possible if it
is opened.

“

Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables and
some desserts will cook together

with a main-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature and in approximately
the same time.

● Use residual heat in the oven

whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.

Before Using Your Oven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure

You

understand how to set them
properly. Read over the directions
for the Oven Controls so you
understand how to use them.

2. Check oven interior. Look at the
shelves. Take a practice run at
removing and replacing them

properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

3. Read over information and tips
that follow.

4. Keep this book handy so you can

refer to it, especially during the first

weeks of using your new oven.

The shelves are designed with
stop-locks so that when placed
correctly on the shelf supports,
they will stop before coming
completely from the oven, and will
not tilt when you are removing
food from them or placing food
on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf,
pull the shelf out to the “stop”
position. Place the cookware on
the shelf, then slide the shelf back
into the oven. This will eliminate
reaching into the hot oven.

Oven Light

The light comes on automatically
when the oven door is opened. Use
the

pad

on the oven control
to turn the light on and off when
the door is closed.
