IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The Califomia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Govemor of Califomia 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.

Selecting typesofcookware.
Thefollowing information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Checkpans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavyweightrecommended
Good conductMry. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on tile
cookmp, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, lightweight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as .scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cookmp is
cleaned immediately. Howevm; do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper tx_ttom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Glass-Ceramic:
usable,butnotrecommended
Poor performance. May scratch tile
surface.
Stoneware:
usable,butnotrecommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are a'_ailable
from manulacturers such as Ball®and
KerrGand tile Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended,
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Porcelain-Enamel CoveredCastIron:
recommended
As long as the cook,a-are is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware isrecommended. Caution is
recommended fbr cast iron cook,a-are
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, since it may
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Wok Cooking
Werecommendthatyouuseonlya flat-bottomed

Do not use round-bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if tile wok

Page 9
Observe the Following Points in Canning
Pots that extend beyond l" of tile
surface unit's circle are not
recommended for most surfhce
cooking. Howevm; when canning
with ,a_ater-bath or pressure cannel,
larger<liameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure)
are not harmfl.ll to the cooktop
surfaces surrounding the surface units.
Note:Flat-bottomedcannersare
requiredforglasscooktops. HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-
DIAMETER C_NNERS OR OTHER
LARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THMN WATER. Most syrup or
sauce mixtures--and all types of
frying--cook at temperatures much
higher tllan boiling water. Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the glass cooktop surfaces.
Be sure the canner fits over tile
[]
center of tile surface unit. If your
cooktop or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered
on the surface unit, use smaller-
diameter pots for good canning
results.
Flat-bottumed canners must be
[]
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamel,a-are) because
they don't make enough contact
with the surfhce units and rake a
long time to boil w-aten
When canning, use recipes and
[]
procedures from reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available from the
manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as BalF and Kerr _'
brand; and the United States
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
ww_.GEAppliances.com
[] Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid burns
from steam or heat, be carefl.d
when canning.
NOTE:If your house haslow voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
eventhough directions have been
carefully followed. Theprocess time will
be shortened by:
(1) using apressure canner and
(2) starting with HOTtap water for fastest
heating of large quantities of water.
CAUTION:
I_;_Safe canning requires thatharmful
microorganisms are destroyed and that
thejars aresealed completely. When
canning foods in a water-bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained for the required time. When
canning foods in a pressure canner,the
pressure must be maintained for the
required time.
I_;_After you have adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boilor pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
I_;_Since you must makesure toprocess
the canningjars for the prescribed
time, with no interruption in processing
time, do not can on any cooktop
surface unff if your canner is not flat.

Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. Howevm;
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in itjust like the grid.
Without the slits, the tbil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. lfyou
do not cut the slits, you are essentially
frying, not broiling.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1 to 1½" of air space around it.
Donotusealuminumfoilonthebottomof

Never entirely cover a rack with
ahlminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower

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. ff 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 vary 2OMOdegrees.
NOTE."This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect the broiling or the self-
cleaning temperatures. Theadjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
ToAdjust the Thermostat
[] Press the BAKE and BROILHI/tO
pads at the same time for 3 seconds
until the display shows SF,
[] Press the BAKE pad. A two<ligit
number shows in the display.

Thetypeofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fa_ 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 Iow-fat spreads. Thelower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old tavorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Usingthe self-cleaning oven.
Before a Clean Cycle
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom,
We recommend venting your kitchen

grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil
froln tile oven.
The oven racks can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard m slide.
Soil on tile front frame of the range and
outside tile gasket on tile door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot watm; soap-filled steel wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrut_. Rinse
well with clean water and &T-
Do not clean the gasket. The fihe_lass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand ah_asion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact, lfyou notice it
becoming worn or fi-ayed, replace it.
Wipe up any hemy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in
place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
