TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California 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.
Thefiberglass 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.

WARNING!
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
.....Do not touch the surface units, the
heating elements or the interior surface
of the oven. These surfaces may be hot
enough m bum even though they are
dark in color. During and 'after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact the surface units, areas
nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent opening, surfaces near the opening,
crex,ices around the oven door:
REMEMBER:The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
.....Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the x,icinity of this or any other
appliance.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
_ease fires.
Teach children not to play xdth the
controls or any other part of the range.
Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot
holders and other linens a s_e distance
fiom your range.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a s_e distance fiom
your range.
Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a s_e distance from
your range.
COOKMEATANDPOULTRYTHOROUGHLY...
Cookmeat andpoultry thoroughly--meat toat least an INTERNALtemperatureof 160°Fandpoultry toat least
an INTERNALtemperatureof 180°ECookingto thesetemperaturesusuallypmtectsagainst foodbomeillness.
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 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 efficiency.
Never leave the surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cooktop serx@e; others
may break because of the sudden change
in temperature.
iiiiiiiiiiii_iii
To minimize the possibility of burns,
i_fifion of flammable mamfials and
spillage, the handle of a container
should be turned reward the center of
the range without exmnding over nearby
surface units.
.....Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
.....When preparing flaming foods under
the hood, turn the fan on.

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS(cont.)
.....Use care when touching the cooktop. The
glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
•after the controls have been turned oft
.....Keep an eye on foods being flied at high
or medium high heat settings.
.....Foods for flTing should be as d Uas
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on flesh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
.....Use little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat flTing. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
.....If a combination of oils or fats will be
used in flTing, stir together before heating,
or as fats melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
.....Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
.....Avoid scratching the glass cookmp.
The cooktop can be scratched with items
such as sharp instruments, rings or other
jeweh T, and rivets on clothing.
.....Do not operate the radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your glass cookmp become broken.
.....Never use the glass cooktop surface as
a cutting board.
.....Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even
when it is not being used.
.....Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring umnsils on glass cookmp surface
when it is in use. They may become hot
and could cause burns.
.....Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface unit, be careful to avoid smam
burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid
wiping any surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
gone ott. Sugarspills are the exception
to this.Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
.....When the cooktop is cool, use only
CERAMA BRYTE _>Ceramic Cooktop
Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE _>
Cleaning Pad m clean the cookmp.
.....To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
.....After cleaning, use a d Ucloth or paper
towel m remove 'all cleaning cream
residue.
.....Read and follow all instructions and
warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
.....i,arge scratches or impacts m glass doors
or cooktops can lead to broken or
shattered glass.
.....Do not leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air flom the vent may i_fite
flammable imms and will increase pressure
in closed containers, which may cause
them to burst.
.....Do not leave plastic items on the
cooktol>--they may melt if left too close
to the vent.
.....Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop can lead to damage and improper

Usingthetimedbakingandmastingfeatures.(onsomemodels)
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during timed cooking. Thelatch is used for self-cleaning only.
NOTE: Foods that spoil easily--such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork--should not be allowed to sit for
more than 1hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that
the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself!
Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for afew
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 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be

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 higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result ff cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" m contain at least 80% fat by weight. I,ow-fat spreads,
on the other hand, contain less fat and more wamt. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the
mxture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favotim recipes, use margarine, butter or
stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
