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 smafl 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 light bulbs contain mercury. If your model has a surface light, you must recycle the
fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes.

ORADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiencg
Never leave fire surPace units unattended
at higil heat setfing:s. Boilox.ers cause
smoking and greasy spillo_.ers that m W
catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, gtassA:eramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cooktop service; others
m W break because of the sudden chang.e
in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of bums,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container
should be ummd toward rim cenmr of
the rang.e without exmnding over nearby
surPace units.
Always mm the surface units off before
removing cookware.
When preparing flaming fbods under
rite hood, unn the fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The
glass surPace of the cooktop will retain heat
after rite conuols have been turned off:
Kee I) an eye on foods being flied at high
or medium higil heat setting:s.
Foods for flTing should be as &T as
possible. Frost on flozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and ox.er the sides of the pan.
Use litde tilt for eflecfive shallow or deep
tht flTing. Filling the pan too fltll of Pat
can cause spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or Pats will be used
in fEving, stir tog.ether before heating, or
as Pats melt slowly.
Always heat fi_t slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat thermomemr whenex.er
possible to prex.ent ox.eflteafing tilt beyond
rite smoking point.
Avoid scratching the glass cookmp.
The cooktop can be scratched with imms
such as sharp instruments, fing_s or oflter
jewelry, and fix.ets on clothing.
Do not operate rim radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution m W penetrate a broken cooktop
and cream a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified mchnician immediamly
should your glass cooktop become broken.
Ne_.er use the glass cooktop surPace as
a cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the glass cooktop, ex.en
when it is not being used.
Be careflfl when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot
and could cause b/tlllS.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
spong.e or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot surPace unit, be cat.efltl to ax_id
steam bums. Some cleaners can produce
noxious flnnes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE."_A:erecommend that you ax_id
wiping any surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
g_ne off'. Sugar q)ills at.e the exception
to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
When the cooktop is cool, use only rite
recommended cleaning cream to clean
rite cooktop.
To avoid possible damag.e to the cooking
Silt'Pace, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
After cleaning, use a dUcloth or paper
towel to remox.e all cleaning cream
residue.
Read and follow all instructions and
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
Larg.e scratches or impacts to glass
doors or cooktops can lead to broken
or shatmred glass.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if' the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessm T tot good results
when baking cakes, cookies, past_ T and
breads.
Topreheat,set the ovenat thecorrecttemperature.
Thecontrolwill beepwhen theovenis preheated
and the &splay willshow yourset temperature.
Thisw#l takeapproximately6-10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1 to 1½" of air space around it. If baking
tour cake layers at the same time, place
two laye_ on rack B and two lave_ on
rack D. Stagger the pans on the rack so
one is not directly above the other:
Cut stirsf17the foil just like the grid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum flfil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However;
wm must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the g6d.
Without the slits, the toil will prevent lilt
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you
do not cut the slits, you are essenfiallv
flTing, not broiling.
Do not usealuminum foi/ on thebottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum fifil. This Mll disturb the heat
drculafion and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of toil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the toed.

Adjusttheoventhermostat--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
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 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 higherfat product
Recipe failure can result ff 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 "I//_lI'g_lI'ille" to ('ont_lin at least 80% tilt by weight. Ixm' tilt spreads, on tile
other hand, contain less tilt and more water; The high moisture content of these spreads affects tile texture and flavor
at baked goods. For best results with veto" old tm'orite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
