a list of substances known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm and requires busi-
nesses 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 durtng the clean-
lng cycle. Exposure can be rnlnfmized by venting with
an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood,
AEMOVAL OF PACKAGING TAPE:
To remove adhesive left from packing tape and

OVEN COOK|NG
GENERAL RULES
, When cooking a food for the first time in your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and Is apt to be more accurate than the oven it
replaced.
After you have used your oven for awhile, If you feel
your oven should be hotter orcooler, you can adjust
ityourself. See TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS
in this manual.
• NO PEEKING.-- Opening the door too often to check
food during baking will allow heat loss and may
cause poor baking results,
• Theremaybesomeodorwhentheovenisflrstused.
This Is caused by the heating of new parts and
Insulation.
• Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil The foil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
results° Do not place any foil directly above the bake
element. Foil used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface, therefore, it
should not be used_
PREHEATING
When recipes require preheating, have food nearby
before you open the oven door, if the oven door is
allowed to remain open for more than a brief time,
the preheat temperature will be lost.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking
baked products. Watch forthe Preheat indicator
Light to come on or listen for a notification tone. If
your oven is not equipped with either of these,
preheat for 10 minutes and put the food In the oven.
BAKEWARE
• Cookies should be baked on flat cookle sheets
without sides to allow the air to circulate properly.
• Cakes, muffins, and quick breads should be baked
in shiny pans -- to reflect the heat -- because they
should have a light golden crust. Yeast breads and
pie crusts should be baked in glass or dull (non-
shiny) pans -- to absorb the heat -- because they
should have a brown, crisp crust.
• Be sure the underside of the pan is shiny, too.
Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may
cause over-browning on the bottom of your food.
, Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures ifexterior of pan
is predarkened, darkened by age or oven-proof
glass.

BAKING:
