by using amulti-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguishe[
Flame in the oven or warming drawer can be
smothered completely by closing the door
and turning the oven off or by using amulti-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguishen
Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn
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.
Potentiallg hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around
the oven door and metal trim parts above
the door.

WARMING DRAWER Consome models)
The purpose of the warming drawer isto hold
hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food; cold food cannot
be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.
Do not use the warming drawer to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they can catch
on fire.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the warming drawer when not
in use.
Neverleavejars orcans of fat drippings in
or near your warming drawer.
Always keepwooden and plastic utensilsand
canned food a safe distanceaway from your
warming drawer.
Do not warm food in the warming drawer
for more than two hours.
Do not touch the heating element or the
interior surface of the warming drawer.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER:The inside surface of the
warming drawer may be hot when the
drawer is opened.
Usecare when opening the drawee Open
the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam
escapebefore removing or replacingfood. Hot
air or steamwhich escapescan cause burns
to hands,face and/or eyes.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawee
Foil isan excellent heat insulator and will
trap heat beneath it, This will upset the
performance of the drawer and it could
damage the interior finish.
SURFACEUNITS--ALLMODELS
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 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 service; others may break
because of the sudden change in
temperature.
To minimize the possibilitg of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the
center of the range without extending over
nearby surface units.
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Keepan eye onfoods being fried at highor
medium high heat settings.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
Ifa combination of oils orfats will beused in
frying, stirtogether before heating,or asfats
melt slowlg.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.

Type of Margarine Will Affect Baking Performance!
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.
Recipefailurecan result ifcakes,pies,
pastries,cookiesor candiesare made with
low fat spreads. The lower the fat content
of aspread product, the more noticeable
these differences become.
Federalstandards require products labeled
"margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by
weight. Low-fat spreads,on the other hand,
contain lessfat and more water Thehigh
moisture content of these spreadsaffects
the texture and flavor of bakedgoods. For
best resultswith gour old favorite recipes,
use margarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheatthe oven ifthe recipecalls for it.
Topreheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating isnecessary for
good resultswhen baking cakes,cookies,
pastry and breads.
Forovens without apreheat indicator light or
tone, preheat 10 minutes.
On some models,thedisplay will show "PRE"
while preheating. When the oven reaches the
selectedtemperature, the ovencontrol will
beep and the display will show theoven
temperature.
Baking resultswill be better if baking pans
are centered in the ovenas much as
possible.Pansshould not touch each other
or the walls of the oven.If you need to use
two shelves,stagger the pans soone is
not directly above the other, and leave
approximately lY/' from the front of the
pan to the front ofthe shelf.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foilon the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirelg cover a shelfwith aluminum
foil.Thiswill disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil mag be usedto
catch a spillover bg placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.
Leave the door open to the broil stop
position. The door stags open by
itself,get theproper temperature is
maintained in the oven.
How to Set the Oven for Broiling (on models without an oven temperature knob)
[] Placethe meat or fish on a broiler grid
