IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Califomb 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.
Fluorescent lightbulbs contain mercury. If your model has a surface light, you must recycle the
fluorescent lightbulb according to local, state and federal codes.

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose aportion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.
_; Never leave file smthce units unattended at
high heat settings, l_ilovers cause smoking
and gTeasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
_ Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
eartlmnware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop sersice; others m W
break because of tile sudden change in
temperature.
iJ_i:;To minimize tire possibility of burns,
ignition offlammable mamrials and
spillage, tile hmldle of a container shouM
be turned towar, l the center of tile range
without extending over neafl)y sm_ace uniLs.
_ Always mm fire stnlace units offbefore
removing cookware.
iSi:;When preparing flaming foods under dm
hood, turn tire fan on.
_ Use care when touching dre cooktop. Tire
glass surface of tile cooktop will retain heat
after tile controls have been turned off.
iJhi:_Keep an eye on foods being flied at high or
medium high heat settings.
_ Foods far flying should be as d_T as
possible. Fr_)st on fiozen foods or moisture
on flesh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over tile sides of tile pan.
iJ_i:_Use little fat far effective shallow or deep
fat flTing. Filling tire pan too full offat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
iJ_i:;Ira combination of oils or fats will be used
in flying, stir together 1)efbre heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
iJ_i:_Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it beats.
iJ_i:;Use a deep fat flmrmometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
tire smoking point.
iJhi:;Avoid scratching tire glass cooktop. Tile
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp insmmlents, rings or other
,jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
_ Do not operate fire radiant smtace units if
tire glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of elecuical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
shouM }_ur glass cooktop become broken.
iJ_i:;Never use dm glass cooktop smface as a
cutting board.
iJ}i:;Do not place or store items lhat can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooku)p, even when
it is not being used.
iJhi:;Be carefld when placing spoons or other
sti_Ting utensils on ,glass cooktop smtace
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause bums.
iS::;Clean dm cooku)p wid_ caution. Ifa wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot sm_ace unit, be car_ful to avoid steam
bums. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied m a hot smtace.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
You (rail use ahnninum fi)il to line tile

you must mold the foil tightly to the grid

Without tile slits, tile toil will prevent tat

hot enough to catch on fire. If you

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself!
Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one #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 yourself.
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°F.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformanc!!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such asbutter 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 standmds require products labeled "mmgarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight. I_owtat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less tat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads attects the texture and flavor of
baked goods. For best resuhs with y{)ur old titvorim recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegelable oil.
