IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Cafifornia 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 a bluish 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.

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented fllrough one vent

located toward file rear of the range. Do not block this vent when cooking in the

oven--it is important that the flow of hot air flom the oven and flesh air m the

oven burner be uninmrrupmd. Avoid

touching the vent openings or nearby

surfaces during oven or broiler operation--

theymay become hot.

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself!

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 ingrocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees F(11-22 degrees C).

NOTE: Thisadjustment will only affect baking, convection baking (on some models) and convection roasting

(on some models) temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetype ofmargarinewill affect bakingperformance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80%fat). Ifyou 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" m contain at least 80% fat by weight. I,ow-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more WamL The high moisture content of these spreads affects the mxture and

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