IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The Californb Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of

Californb 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.

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.

SURFACEUNITS--ALLMODELS

Use proper pan size-select cookwaro having fiat bottoms largo enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookwaro will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookwaro to surface unit will also

improve efficiency.

Never leave tile surfi_ce units unattended at

high heat settings, goilo_ers cause smoking
and greasy spillo_ers that may catch on fire.

iiiiiiiii_i_i_iiiiii

Only certain types of glass, glassXeramic,

earthem._;_re or oilier gtazed containers are

suitable fbr cooktop service; others may

break because of the sudden chang> in

temperature.

iiiiiiiii_i_i_iiiiii

To minimize d_e possibility' of bums,
ignition of flammable mamrials and spillage,

the handle of a container should be mined
toward the center of the range without

Typeof Margarine Wi// Affect Baking Performance!

ge.com

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 preduct.

Preheating andPan Placement

Preheat the oven if the redpe calls fiw it.
To preheat, set the o\vn at the correct

temperature. Preheating is necessaiw fllr
good results when baldng cakes, cookies,

past U and breads.

Forovenswithout a preheat/hd/kator I/_Thtortone,

preheat 10mlbutes.

Onsome models,the display will show "PRE"
while preheatlbg. When the ovenreachesthe

selected temperature,the ovencontrol will beep
and thedisplaywill show the oventemperature.

Federal stnndards require products labeled
"margarine" to contain at least 80% fi_t by

weight. Low-fia spreads, o1, the other band,
contain less ti_t and more water. The high

moisture content of these spreads affects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For

best results with your old fiivofite recipes,
use maigafine, butter or stick spreads

containing at least 70% _vgetable oil

Baking results will be better if baking pans

are centered in the o_ en as llltlch as
possible. Pans sh(mld not touch each other

or the walls el the o\vn. If v(/u need to use
two shelves, stagger the pans so ()lie is not

direcdy abo\v the ethel; and leave
appro_mately 1½" Kern the fl'ont of the

pan to the fl'ont of the shell

Cut slits in the foiljust like risegrid.

Leave the door open to the broil stop
position. The door stays open by itself,
yet the proper temperature is

maintained in the oven,

Aluminum loft

Never cover the oven bottom with

aluminum foil.

You can use aluminum fidl to line the

broiler pan and bH)iler grid. Howe\vl;

you must mokl the filil tightly to the

grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

_Mmninmn fi)il may also be used to catch
a spillovel: To do so, place a small sheet (If

fi)il on a lower sheff several inches below
the fl)od.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
fi)il. This will distt/rb the heat drculation

and result in pool baking.
