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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass 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.

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 vary20-40 degrees.

NOTE,"This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling or self-cleaning

temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetypeofmargarine will affect bakingperformanc!!

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 reqlfire products labeled "malgarine" to contain at least 80% lilt by weight, ixmqht spreads, on the
other hand, contain less tilt and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads afli_ct the textm'e and flavor

of baked goods. For best results with your old til\'orite recipes, use inargarii_e, butter or stick spreads coi_tnilfing at least
