IMPORTANTSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement 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 their customers of potential exposure to such substances. The fiberglass insulation in a self-cleaning oven will give off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle, Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open door or

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

IMPORTANT:, The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the

self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to a well-ventilated room.

READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS INFORMATION NOW!

Be sure everyone in your home knows what to do in case of fire.

Never use water on a grease fire; it will only spread the flames.

COOKTOP GREASE FIRE: Never pick up a flaming pan...

1. Turn off the surface elements

2. Smother the flame with a tightly fitting lid Use baking soda or a dry

chemical, foam, or halon type extinguisher

OVEN FIRE: Do not try to move the pan!

1. Close the oven door and turn

controls off

OPERATION

OvenCookingTips

It is normal to have some odor when using your oven for the first time. To

help eliminate this odor, ventilate the

room by opening a window or using a vent hood,

IMPORTANT: Never cover the oven

bottom or oven rack with aluminum

foil. Improper use can cause poor heat flow, poor baking results, and

may damage the oven finish. To prevent staining from spiltovers, you

may place a piece of aluminum foil or

a cookie sheet on the rack below the food which may spill over.

Preheating is bringing the temperature up to the temperature you will be using during baking Let the oven preheat thoroughly when

recipes calf for preheating.

In the back of the oven you will notice a small tuber This is a heat sensor

that maintains the temperature of the

oven. Never move or bend this tube.

Oven - __ .................Temperature Sensor

The oven vent is located under the

right rear element. This area could become hot during oven use. The vent is important for proper air circulation.

Never block this vent.

Oven Vent

Location

Opening the door often to check foods will cause heat loss and poor

baking results.

The low temperature zone of your

oven (between 170° and 200°F) is

available to keep hot cooked foods

warm. However, foods should not be

kept at these temperatures longer than 2 hours.

When using your convenient Delay Start operation, foods such as dairy products, fish, poultry, etc., should

never sit more than 1 hour before cooking. Room temperatures and the

heat from the oven light promote

bacterial growth.

OPERATION

OvenCookingTips

To prolong the life of your oven light

bulb, follow these helpful tips: Always

turn the light off when the oven is not

in use or during a clean cycle, if your

oven light is left on for an extended

period of time, the oven witl be warm

when the door is opened due to the

heat generated from the oven light bulb

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as

much as possibte_ If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1"to t 1/2" of air space around it. Place pans so one is not

directly above the other_

=======================

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products

such as butter or margarine (80% fat by weight--the federal requirement

for products labeled "margarine")

You will get poor results if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made

with low-fat spreads. Low-fat spreads contain less fat and more water.

The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of favorite baked recipes. The lower the fat content of a spread product,

the more noticeable these differences become. To ensure best results, use margarine, butter or stick spreads

containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

The Oven Temperature Sensor at the

back of the oven continuously senses and controls the temperature inside

the oven_ To keep a constant set

temperature, the elements wilt cycle (turn on and off during cooking).

FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without sides, allow air to circulate all around

the cookies for even browning,,

SHINY PANS reflect heat, and are

perfect for cakes and quick breads

that need a light brown crust,

GLASS, DARK NON-STICK OR DARKENED BY AGE BAKEWARE

absorbs heat and can be used for

yeast breads, pie crust or foods

that need a brown crust The oven temperature, when using these pans,

should be reduced by 25°F,

OPERATION OvenCookingTips(cont.)

The oven racks are designed with stop locks, a convenience as well as a safety precaution The guides have

a bump to prevent the racks from tilting when racks are pulled out of the oven This design allows the racks to be inserted in only one way_

Rack Guide

Your oven has four (4) rack positions. The top position is only a guide. It cannot be used as a rack position

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than the oven it replaced. We recommend that you

use your new oven a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide tf you feel your oven is too hot or too cool for your cooking preference, see Do-It-Yourself Adjustment in the back of this manual to make the adjustmenL

Broiling

Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the upper element, The oven door should remain open to the broil stop

position during broiling.

It is not necessary to preheat the oven when broiling. Use the broiler pan and

grid that came with your range, Both

are designed for proper drainage of fat and liquids.

molded tightly to the grid lf foil is used, it must be and slits cut into the foil

to match those of the grid. This

allows fats and liquids to drain into the broiler pan, preventing

fire and excessive smoke. Always remove the pan and

grid from the oven. Storing or forgetting a soiled broiler pan

in the oven is a potential smoke or fire hazard.

b._ _41

The t.JS. Department of Agriculture

recommends to cook meat and

poultry thoroughly--meat to at least

an INTERNAL temperature of 160 ° F

and poultry to at least an INTERNAL

temperature of 180 ° F. Cooking to

these temperatures usually protects

against food-borne illness.

The closer you place foods to the broil element, the faster foods brown

on the outside yet remain red to pink in the center

Moving meats away from the element will allow the meat to cook to the

center while browning on the outside

Using this positioning, cook side 1 at

least 2 minutes longer than side 2 if your oven is connected to 208 volts, you may want to use a higher rack

position and/or broil foods longer. The size, weight, thickness, starting

temperature and your preference of the doneness of the meat will affect

broiling This chart is based on meats
