IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Cafifornia to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
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.

Always use the UTE position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited,
Never leave the surface burners unattended
at high flame settings. Boflovers cause
smoking and greasy spfllovers that may
catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
Use only dUpot holders--moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces m W result in bums
flom steam. Do not let pot holders come
near ()pen flames when lifting cookware. Do
not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of a pot holder.
"i_len using glass cookware, make sure it
is desi_md fbr top-of range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of bums, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, mm
cookware handles toward the side or back of
the range _dthout extending over adjacent
burners.
Carefiflly watch fbods being flied at a high
flame setting.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air flom the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in f@ng, stir together before heating or
as fats melt slo_s@
Use a deep fat thel_nometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Do not operate the burner _dthout all burner
parts in place.
Use the least possible amount of tat ff)r
effbctive shallow or deep-tat fiying. Filling
the pan too till of fat can cause spfllovers

_]len preparing flaming ff)ods under the
hood, turn the fan on.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner _ate to support the
wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may
damage the burner _ate and burner head.
Also, it may cause the burner to work
improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by cunent
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
Foods fbr fi}_ng should be as dUas possible.
Frost on flozen fbods or moisture on flesh
fbods can cause hot tat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fiyen Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics ms'ayflom the surface

the enamel of some cookware may
melt. Follow cookware manuf_tcturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware--those f}.)roven tlse olll} _
and those for top-of:range cooMng
(saucepans, coff>e and teapots).

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used
K_i eidler surfitce or oven cooking. It
conducts heat vei T slowly and cools ve_T
slowly. Check cookware manufi_cmrer's
directions to be sure it can be used on gas
ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has
poor heating properties and is usually
combined with coppei; ahmlinunl
or other metals for improved heat
disuibudon. Combination metal skillets
usuMly work sadsfimtorily if they are used
with medium heat as the manufimmrer
recommends.
Stove Top Gri//s
Do not use stove top g_ills on your sealed

Adjustthe oven thermostat Bo # 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.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. Theadjustment wifl 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. 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% flit by weight. Low-flit spreads,
on the other band, contain less fi_t and more wamr The high moisture content of these spreads aft:ects the
mxture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old fi_v(Mm recipes, use margarine, butter or
sdck spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Remove racks, broiler pan, broiler grid,
all cookware and any aluminum fbil

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
mamfial of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or flayed, rephce it.
Wipe up any hem T spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. The shiny, silve>colored oven rocks
(on some models) can be selfk-.leaned,
but they will darken, lose dleir lusmr
and become hard to slide.
Soil on the flont flame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water; soaf>filled smel wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scmb_ Rinse
well with clean water and dry.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in
place and the oven light is off.
