The Cafifornia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a listof 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.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the

you must rooM the foil tightly to the grid

hot enough to catch on fre. If you
do not cut the slit.s,you are essentially

lying, not broiling.

Baking resuks will be better ifbaking pans
are centered in the oven as much as

possible. Pans should not touch each

to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one

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 afew
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 vary 20-40 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.

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 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. Thelower the fat

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

Federal standards require products labeled "lnargarine" to contain at least 80% f_ttby weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less f_ttand more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of

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