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.

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms largo enough to cover the surface unit

Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in tile oven as much as
possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place tile pans six each has at least 1"
to 1½" of air space aro/md it.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminmn toil to line tile
broiler pan and brixiler grid. Howevex;
you must mold tile foil tightly to tile grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without tile slits, the flfil will prevent flit
and meat juices fl'om draining intI) tile
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you
do not cut tile slits, you are essentially
fl'_ing, not broiling.
Donot usealuminumfoil on thebottom of
the oven,
Never entirely cover a rack with
almninum fi)il. This will distuO) tile heat
drculation and result in poor baldng.
A smaller sheet el fifil may be used to
catch a spillover by pladng it on a lower
rack several inches below tile food.
