IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The Califomia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Govemor of Califomia 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 ofpotential 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.

Thefollowing information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
About the radiant surface units...
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
NOTE:A slightodorisnormalwhena new
cooktopisusedforthefirsttime.It iscausedby
theheatingofnewpartsandinsulatingmaterials
andwilldisappearinashorttime.Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cookware. The surface unit will cycle on and offm
maintain your selected control setting.
It is safe m place hot cookware on tile
glass surface even when tile cooktop
is cool.
Always place the pan in the center of
the surface unit you are cooking on.
Even after the surface units are turned
oil the glass cooktop retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid
over-cooking, remove pans from tile
surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on tile surface
unit until it has cooled completely.
Do not slide cookware across the
cooktop because it can scratch the
glass--the glass is scratch-resistant,
not scratch-proof.

Selecting typesofcookware.
Thefollowing information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Checkpans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavyweightrecommended
Good conductMry. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on tile
cookmp, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, lightweight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as .scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cookmp is
cleaned immediately. Howevm; do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper tx_ttom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Glass-Ceramic:
usable,butnotrecommended
Poor performance. May scratch tile
surface.
Stoneware:
usable,butnotrecommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are a'_ailable
from manulacturers such as Ball®and
KerrGand tile Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended,
Porcelain-Enamel CoveredCastIron:
recommended
As long as the cook,a-are is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended fbr cast iron cook,a-are
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, since it may
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Wok Cooking
Werecommendthatyouuseonlya flat-bottomed
wok.Theyareavailableat yourlocalretailstore.
Do not use round-bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if tile wok
tipped oven
Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Observe the Following Points in Canning
Pots that extend beyond l" of tile
surface unit's circle are not
recommended for most surfhce
cooking. Howevm; when canning
with ,a_ater-bath or pressure cannel,
larger<liameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure)
are not harmfl.ll to the cooktop
surfaces surrounding the surface units.
Note:Flat-bottomedcannersare
requiredforglasscooktops. HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-
DIAMETER C_NNERS OR OTHER
LARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THMN WATER. Most syrup or
sauce mixtures--and all types of
frying--cook at temperatures much
higher tllan boiling water. Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the glass cooktop surfaces.
[] Be sure the canner fits over tile
center of tile surface unit. If your
cooktop or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered
on the surface unit, use smaller-
diameter pots for good canning
results.
[] Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid burns
from steam or heat, be carefl.d
when canning.
NOTE:If your house haslow voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
eventhough directions have been
carefully followed. Theprocess time will
be shortened by:
(1) using apressure canner and
(2) starting with HOTtap water for fastest
heating of large quantities of water.
CAUTION:
I_;_Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and that
thejars are sealed completely. When
canning foods in a water-bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained for the required time. When
canning foods in a pressure canner,the
pressure must be maintained for the
required time.
I_;_After youhave adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
[] Flat-bottumed canners must be
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamel,a-are) because
they don't make enough contact
with the surfhce units and rake a
long time to boil w-aten
I_;_Since you must makesure toprocess
the canningjars for the prescribed
time, with no interruption in processing
time, do not can on any cooktop
surface unff if your canner is not flat.
[] When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available from the
manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as BalF and Kerr _'
brand; and the United States
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.

pan, place the pans so each has at least
1 to 1½" of air space around it.
Cutslits in the foil just like thegrid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. Howevm;
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in itjust like the grid.
Without the slits, the tbil will prevent fat
and meat juices from draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. lfyou
do not cut the slits, you are essentially
frying, not broiling.

Never entirely cover a rack with
ahlminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower

Adjust the oventhermostat--Do it yourself! . .OEA, ,a,ces.oom
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. ff 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 2OMOdegrees.
NOTE."This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect the broiling or the self-
cleaning temperatures. Theadjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
ToAdjust the Thermostat
[] Press the BAKE and BROILHI/tO
pads at the same time for 3 seconds
until the display shows SF,
[] Press the BAKE pad. A two<ligit
number shows in the display.
Press BAKEagain m alternate
between increasing and decreasing
the oven temperature.
[]
[]
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up m (+) 35°F hotter or (-)
35°F coolel: Press tile numher pads
the same way you read them. For
example, to change the oven
temperature 15°F, press Iand 5.
When you have made the
adjustment, press the STARTpad
to go back to the time of day display.
Use your oven as you would
normally.
Thetypeofmargarine 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 fa_ 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. Thelower 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-fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content 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.
