IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Cafifomia 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.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by abluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

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.

Always use the Life posidon when iofidng the top bm_ners and make sm_e the bm_mrs have i_fited.

Never leave the surface btm_ers unattended at high flame settings. Boik)vers cause

smoking and _easy spillovers that may catch on fire.

Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.

Excessive flame is hazardous.

Use only dU pot holders--moist or damp pot holders on hot surtaces may result in bums flom steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when liNng cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky clod1 in place of a pot holder.

_%en using glass cook, s-are, make sure it is designed fbr top-of:range cooking.

To minimize the possibility of bums, i_fition of flammable materials and spillage, turn

cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent

burners.

Carefldly watch fbods being flied at a high flame setting.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air from the vent may i_fite flammable items and _sdllincrease pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

Enamelware: Under so)me conditions, the enamel of some cookware may

melt. Follow cookware manuf_cturer's recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass

cookware--those for oven rise only

and those for tel>of:range cooking

(saucepans, coffee and reapers).

(;lass conducts heat very slowly.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use stove top g_ills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill

on the sealed g_ksburnei; it will cause incomplete colnbtlsfion and can result

in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for eidler surfi_ce or oven cooking. It

c(mducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware mamffhcmrer's

directions to be sure it can be used on gas

ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal aJone has poor heating properties and is usually

combined with coppei; ahmlinum or other metals for improved heat

disuibudon. Combination metal skillets

usuMly work sadsfimtorily if they are used

with medium heat as the manufimmrer recommends.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees F(11-22 degrees C).

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

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

Thetypeofmargarinewi/! affectbakingperformance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or mamarine (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.

U.S. federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% flit by weight. Low-flit spreads, on the other band, comain less flit and more water Tile high moistme content of these spreads affects tile texture and

flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old fi_vofim recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
