TheCallfomia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Govemor of Callfomia 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.

1 m lY/' of air space around it. K baking
four cake layers at the .same time, place
two layers on rack B and two layers on
rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one
is not directly above the other.
Cut slits in the fogjust like the grid.

Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil m line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. Howevel;
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in itjust like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. ffyou
do not cut the slits, you are essentially
fiTing, not broiling.
Donotusealuminumfoilonthebottomof
theoven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum foil. _lZqiswill disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of fbil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below, the food.

Adjust the 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 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.

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 Iow-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-iht spreads,
on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. _12qehigh moisture conmnt of these spreads affects the
texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old tavorite recipes, use margarine, butter or
stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil. 19

Usingtheself-cleaning oven.
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
Wipe up heavysoil on the oven
bottom,
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the
first self-dean cycle.
Remove the shelves, broiler pro1, broiler
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
The oven shelves can be self-cleaned,
but they" will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by"hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled steel wool pads
or cleansers such a_sSoft Scrub? Rinse
well with clean water and d W.
Do not clean the gasket. The fibe@ass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact, lfyvm notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in
place and tim oven light is off
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the filmes given
off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
