IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
TheCafifomia 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 customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances 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 yellow 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 oven gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off ff necessary.
Have your oven inst_led and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation lnstmcuons.

Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in
the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Usingthebakingfeature.
Youroven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. It is recommended that you
operate the oven for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your
new oven's performance.
If you think an adjustment is necessary, see theAdjust the Oven Thermostat section. It lists easy Do It Yourself
instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.

Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the
desired locations while the oven is cool.
The correct shelf position depends on the
kind of food and the browning desired.
As a general rule, place most foods in the
middle of the oven, on either shelf position
B or CSee the chart for suggested shelf
positions.

Angelfoodcake A
Frozenpies (oncool@ sheet) A
Bundtor poundcakes AorB

Biscuits,muffins, brownies, BorC
cookies,cupcakes,
layer cakes,pies,pie shells
Casseroles BorC
Preheating
Preheat the oven if die recipe calls for it.
Preheat means bringing the oven up to the
specified temperature before putting the
food in the oven° To preheat, set the oven
at the correct temperature--selecting a
higher temperature does not shormn
preheat time.
Preheating is necessa_T for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pasu T and
breads. For most casseroles and roasts,
preheating is not necessary. For ovens
without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat l0 minutes. After the oven is
preheamd, place the food in the oven
as quickly as possible to prevent heat
flom escaping.
Aluminum Foil
Donotusealuminumfoilonthebottom
of theoven.
Never entirely cover a shelf widl ahmlinum
foil. This will disturb die heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch
a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf
several inches below the food.

Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan° The type of
finish on the pan detemfines file amount
of browning that will occm:
Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat
resulting in a browne_; crisper crest.
Use this type for pies.
Shiny, bright and smoodl pans reflect
beat, resulting in a lighte_; more delicam
browning. Cakes and cookies require this
type of pan.
Glass baldng dishes a/so absorb beat.
When baking in glass baking dishes, die
mmpemmre may need to be reduced
by 25°F.
If you are using dark non-stick pans,
you may find that you need to reduce
the (wen mmpemmre 25°F to prevent
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning,
there must be enough room for ah
circulation in the oven. Baking results will
be better if baking pans are cenmred as
much as possible rather than being placed
to the flont or to the back of the (wen.
Pans shotfld not touch each other or the
walls of the oven. Allow 1- to 1½-inch space
bet_,veen pans as well as flom the back of
the oven, the door and the sides. If you
need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so
one is not direc@ above the other
Cookies
When baking cookies, fiat cookie sheets
(without sides) produce betmtqooking
cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan
(short sides all around) may have darker
edges and pale or light bro_._fing
may occur
Do not use a cookie sheet so large flint it
touches the walls or the door of the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with a large
cookie sheet.
For best results during baking, use only
one cookie sheet in the (wen at a time.
Pies
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough
or dull pans to produce a browne_; crisper
crust. Frozen pies in foil pans should be
placed on an ahmfinum cookie sheet for
baking since the shiny foil pan reflects
heat away flom the pie crust; the cookie
sheet helps retain it.
Cakes
When baking cakes, wmped or bent pans
will cause uneven baldng results and poorly
shaped products. A cake baked in a pan
larger than the recipe recommends will
USually be crispe_; thinner and drier than it
should be. If baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked
and batter may overflow. Check the recipe
to make sure the pan size used is the one
recommended.
Peeking
Set file timer ffw file estimated cooking
time and do not open file door to look at
your food. Most recipes provkte minimum
and maximum baking times such as "bake
30-40 minums."
O0 NOTopen the door to check until the
minimum time. Opening the oven door
flequen@ during cooldng allows heat to
escape and makes baldng times longer
Your baking results may Nso be affecmd.

Adjustthe oventhermostat--Do it yourself!
Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat/ourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained m
memory after a power failure.
ToAdjust the Thermostat

up as much as 35°F or down as much
as 35°K Touch the +pad to increase

[] When you have made the adjustment,

The type ofmargarinewill affect bakingperformance!
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 product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. Thelower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "marg',irine" to contain at least 80% flit by weight. Low flit spreads, on the
other band, contain less fat and more waten The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
