~lvlPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
c 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 quires businesses to warn
customers of ptential exposure to such substances.
● Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to
four
of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and s~t, caused
primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gtis or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners,
indicated by o 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.

● When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly
and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at
least 170°F. This assures that,
in the remote possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat
will be safe to eat.
Sufiace CwMg
c Always use tie LITE position when
igniting the top burners and make sure the
burners have ignited.
● Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
s Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
. Use only dry pot holdexmoist
or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam.
Do not
let pot holders come near open flames
when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
Such cloths can catch fire on a hot burner.
s When using @ass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-range cooking.
c To minimize the possibility of bums9
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, turn cookware handles toward the
side or back of the range without extending

4

ways turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
c Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
s Never block the venk (air openings) of the
range.
They provide the air inlet and outlet that
are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion. Air openings are located
at the rear of the cooktop, at the top of the oven
door, and under the storage drawer.
c Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the
wok has a round metal ring that is placed over
the burner grate to support the wok.
This ring
acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner
grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the
burner to work improperly. This may cause a
carbon monoxide level above that allowed by
current standards, resulting in a health hazard.
s 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.
x the least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying.
Filling the pan too
full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
● If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying,
stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
c Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
c Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
c Use proper pan si>Avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates.
T() avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large
enough to contain the food properly. This will both
save cleaning time md prevent hazardous
accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or
spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with
handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool.
‘Vhen flaming foods are under the hood, turn
,e fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flames.
c Do not leave plastic items on the cookto~
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
s Keep dl pktim away fmm the surface burners.
c Do not leave any items on tie cooktop. The hot
air from the vent may ignite flammable items and
will increase pressure in closed containers, which
may cause them to burst.
● Myou smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and
call a qualified service technician. Never use an
open flame to locate a leak,
● To avoid the possibility of a bum, always be
certain that the controls for
dl burners are at
the off position and
W grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
● Never clean the cooktop surface when it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and
wet cloths could cause steam bums if used on
a hot surface.
● Never leave jam or cans of fat drippings
on or near your range.
Oven
c Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items
stored in the oven can ignite.
● Stand away from the range when opening the
door of a hot oven.
The hot air and steam that
escape
cm cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
c Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning.
Cakes and
ct)okies require this type of pan.
● Glass baking dishes absorb heat. When baking in
glass baking dishes. the temperature may need to be
reduced by
25°F.
● If you are using dmk non-stick pans, you may find
that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F.
to prevent overbrowning.”
Pan Placement
For even cmking and proper browning. there must bc
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back t]f the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow 1- to I K-inch space between pans as well
as from the back of the oven, the dot)r and the sides.
If you need to use twn shelves, stagger the pans so
(]ne is not directly above the other.
Baking Guides
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructi(]ns
for the best baking results.
Cookies
When baking cookies, tlat cookie sheets (withf)ut

in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.
D() not use a cookie sheet so large that it tou$hes the

a shelf with a large cookie sheet.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven
at a time.
