SURFACECOOKINGUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

Thiswill take approximately 10-15minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. Pans should not touch each
other or the walls of the oven. If w)u
need to use two shelves, stagger the pans
so one is not directly above the other;
and leave approximately 1½" between
pans, fi'om the fi'ont, back and sides of
the wall.

Aluminum Foil
You (an use aluminum toil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. Howe_e_;
you must mold the fi)il tighfl) to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the toil will prevent fi_t
and meat juices fl'om draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If w)u
do not cut the slits, you are essentially
flTing, not broiling.
Donot usealuminumfoil on the bottomof
the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum fifil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of fi)il may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the fl)od.

Leave the door open to the broil

Adjusttheoventhermostat--Do it 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 vary20-40 degrees.
NOTE" This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.

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 higherfat product
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with Iowfat spreads. TheIowerthe fat

Federal standards require l)ro(hlcts labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight. I,ow tilt spreads, on the
other hand, contain less tilt and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads affects the textm'e and flavor
at baked goods. For best results with w)m" old tilvorite recipes, use mmgarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
