WARNING!

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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers ofpotential exposure to such substances.

Gasappliances 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 yeflow 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.

SAFETYPRECAUtiONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

Have your range installed and picperly Plug your range into a 120_\_lt grounded grounded by a qualified installer, in

accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas rang>

installers or service technicians.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any

COOKMEATANDPOULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°Fand poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°ECooking to these temperatures usually protects against

foodbome illness.

OVEN

Stand away from the range when opening the door of ahot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause bums to hands, face and eyes.

Do not use file oxen for a storag.e area.

Imms stored in file ox.en can ignim. Kee I) tile ox.en free from grease buildup.

Place the oven shelx.es in the desired

po0fion while the ox.en is cool.

Pulling out file shelf m the stop-lock is a

com.enience in lifting heaxy' foods. It is also

a precauuon against bums from touching hot sur/_aces of the door or oven walls. Tile

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--a void pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms

large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain

the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since

heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cool.

Always use the Life position (on electcic ignition models) or die Nlposition (on

standing pilot models) when igniting tile top burners and make sure the burners

have ignimd.

Nex>r leaxe flse snrJCace burners unattended

Adjust die top bni_]er flame size so it does not extend beyond tile edge of tile

cookware. Excessixe flame is hazardous.

Use only d U pot holders--moist or damp pot holders on hot suriZaces may result in

bnrlls flom smam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting

cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holden

When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-rang> cooking.

To minimize the possibility of bums, ignition of flammable mamrials and spillag>,

turn cookware handles toward tile side or

back of tile range without extending over

adjacent burners.

Use tile least possible amount of _at for eflbctixe shallow or deepqht flTing. Filling

tile pan too fldl of tht carl cause spillovers when food is added.

When flaming foods are under die hood,

turn tile fan off: The fan, if operating, may

spread the flames.

Do not use a wok on the cooking surface

if tile wok has a round metal sing that is placed oxes file burner grate, to support

file wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damag_ file burner gram and

burner head. Also, it m W cause tile burner

to work impropefl> This may cause a carbon monoxide level aboxe fllat

allowed by current standards, 5esulting in a health hazard.

Foods for flTing should be as drT as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on flesh

foods carl cause hot fi_t m bubble up and ox>r the sides of the pan.

Never t5T to moxe a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep tzatflTer: _4'ait until the tzatis cool.

Do not leme plastic imms on the cooktoi>--

flsev may meh if left too close to the x>nt.

Carefldly watch foods being fl-ied at a high

approMmately 1½" between pans, fl'om the fl'ont, back and sides of the wall.

Mmninmn fi)il may also be used to catch a spilhwe_: To do so, place a small sheet of

fifil on a lower shelf se\'eral inches below the tood.

Nex'er entirely cover a shelf with almninmn fifil. This will disturb the heat circulation

and result in poor baking.

Broiling Guide Suggestions

Both the ovenand broiler compartment doors must be closed during broiling.

_Mwa_:suse the broiler pan and grid that

comes with your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by

trai)pingjuices in the shiehled lower

part of the pan. For steaks and chops, slash e_t evenly

around the outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the

outer fiK sm_i_ce just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turI] the meat

over to prevent piercing the meat and

losing juices.

If desired, marinate meats or chicken

before broiling. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5-10 miI]utes oI]h'.

When arranging the ff>od on the pan,

(11tnot let fi_tty edges hang over the sides

because dripping ti_t could soil the oven. The broiler comi)artment does not need

to be preheated. Howe\'e_; tot very thin

t0ods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

Frozen steaks can be broiled bv positioning the shelf at the next lowest

shelf position and increasing the cooking

time given in this guide 1½ times per side.

Usingthe oven.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformanc!!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fatproducts such as butter or margarine (80% fat). ff you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with ahigher fat product.

Recipe failure can result ff cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. Thelower the fat

content of aspread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fi_t by weight. I,ow fi_t spreads, on the other hand, contain less ti_t and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads affects the textm'e and flavor

of baked goods. For best results with umr old tin.ofim recipes, use mmgmine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
