WARNINGANTI-TIPDEVICE
All rangescan tip and injury could result.
Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach
it to the waft by installing the Anti--tip device
supplied.
If the Anti--tip device supplied with the range does
not fit this application, use the universal An ti-77p
device WB2X7909.
Tocheck if the device is installed and engaged
properly, carefully tip the range forward. The
Anti--tip device should engage and pravent
the range from tipping over.
If you pull file rang_ out flom file wall %r
any reason, make snre the device is properly
engv_ged when yon push the range back against
the wall• If it is not, there is a pos0ble risk of the
range tipping over and causing inju Uif yon or
a child stand, sit or lean on an open door
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device infommtion

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement 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.
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.
SAFETYPRECAUtiONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended

recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be refe_Ted to a qualified
technician,
Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
disuibufion panel by _emoving the fllse or
switching off the circuit breaker
Do not leme children alone----r'hildren

Typeof Margarine Will Affect Baking Performanc!!
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.
Recipefailurecanresultffcakes,pies,pastries,
cookiesorcandlesaremadewithlowfatspreads.
Thelowerthefatcontentofa spreadproduct,the
morenoticeablethesedifferencesbecome.
Federal standards require products labeled
"marga_-h_e" to contain at least 80% tilt by
weight, ix)\_qilt spreads, on the other hand,
contain less tilt and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best results with your old til\'ofite redpes,
rise margarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
Preheatingand PanPlacement
Preheat the oven if tile redpe calls fin" it.
To preheat, set the oven at tile correct
temperature. Preheating is necessaiw fin.

Onsomemodels,the d/spley will show "PilE"
while preheat/bg.When the ovenreachesthe

and the d/spleywill show the oven temperature.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in tile o_ell as Ill[/ch as
possible. Pans should not touch each other
or tile walls of tile oven. If you need to use
two shelves, stagger tile pans so one is not

Cutslitsinthe foiljust like flTegrid.
Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil.
You can use ahmfinum fi)il to line the
broiler pan and broiler g_id. Howexe_;
you must mold the fifil tightly to the
gt'id and cut slits in it just like the grid.
_Muminum fi)il may also be used m catch
a spillove_: To do so, place a small sheet of
fifil on a lower shelf several inches below
the toed.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
tbil. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
