IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement 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.

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.

SURFACECOOKINGUNITS

Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat 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 efficiency.

;fi:,:Nexer leme the surface units unattended

at high heat settings. Boiloxers cause
smoking arm greasy spilloxers that may

catch on fire.

_{;_Do not use aluminum tbil to line the drip

pans or arr>vhere in tire oven except as
described in this manual. Misuse could

resuh in a shock, fire hazard or damag.e
to the rang.e.

_:_Be sm.e the drip pans arm fire vent duct

are not covered and are in place. Their
absence during cooking could damag.e

rang.e parts arm wiring.

_ti;:Only certain types of glass, glassAeramic,

m W break because of the sudden chang.e
in temperature.

_?:':To minimize the possibility of burns,

ignition of flammable mamrials arm

spillag.e, the handle of a corrtainer should

be turned toward rite center of tire rang.e
without exmnding ox,er nearby sur/cace units.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls fin" it.
Preheating is necessa_ T for good results

when baking cakes, cookies, past_ T and
breads.

Topreheat,set theovenat thecorrecttemperature.
Thecontrol will beep when the ovenis preheated

andthe display will show yourset temperature.

Thiswill take approximately 10-15 minutes.

Aluminum Foil

You (an use aluminum toil to line the

broiler pan and broiler grid. Howe_e_;
you must mold the fi)il tighfl) to the grid

and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Without the slits, the toil will prevent fi_t
and meat juices fl'om draining into the

broiler pan. The juices could become

hot enough to catch on fire. If w)u
do not cut the slits, you are essentially

flTing, not broiling.

Baking results will be better if baking

pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. Pans should not touch each

other or the walls of the oven. If w)u
need to use two shelves, stagger the pans

so one is not directly above the other;
and leave approximately 1½" between

pans, fi'om the fi'ont, back and sides of

the wall.

Donot usealuminumfoil on the bottom of
the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with

aluminum fifil. This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of fi)il may be used to

catch a spillover by placing it on a lower

shelf several inches below the fl)od.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

Leave the door open to the broil
stop position. The door stays open

by itself, yet the proper temperature
is mahTtahTedh7the oven.

[] Place the meat or fish on the broiler

Adjustthe oventhermostat--Do it yourself!

Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Useyour 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 not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.

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 higherfat product

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with Iowfat spreads. TheIowerthe fat

content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require l)ro(hlcts labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight. I,ow tilt spreads, on the
other hand, contain less tilt and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads affects the textm'e and flavor

at baked goods. For best results with w)m" old tilvorite recipes, use mmgarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least

70% vegetable oil.
