iMPORTANT SAFETY
HOTICE!
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 cus-
tomers 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.
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:

OvenCookingTips
In the back of the oven you will notice
a small tube This is a heat sensor
that maintains the temperature of the
oven Never move or bend this tube,
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 spillovers, you
may place a piece of aluminum foil or
cookie sheet below the food which
may spill over
The oven vent is located under the
right rear element This area could
become very hot during oven use
Never block this vent.
Temperature Sensor
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 kept at these
temperatures longer than 2 hours
may spoil
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 after a clean cycle If your
appliance does not have a window in
the door, you will need to open the
door to make sure the oven light is off
If your oven light is left on for an
extended period of time, the oven will
be warm when the door is opened
due to the heat generated from the
oven light bulb

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
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
If baking with more than one pan,
place the pans so each has at least 1
to 1 t/2" of air space around it. Place
pans so one is not directly above the
other.
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, absorb 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.
The Oven Temperature Sensor
continuously senses and controls
the temperature inside the oven To
keep a constant set temperature,
the elements wilt cycle or turn on
and off during cooking

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.

The U S 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 I80°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.
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 andfor broil
foods longer
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature and your preference of
the doneness of the meat will affect
