WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric
shock, or to prevent proper_/ damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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 requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass 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.

SURFACECOOKINGUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat 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 co&ware to surface unit will
also improve efficiencg
_ZN(wer leave the surli_ce units unatt(nded
at high heat settings. Boilov(rs cause
smoking and greasy spillow_t_ that may
catch on fire.
?_2Do not use ahmfinum foil to line the drip
pans or an?where in the oven, except as
described in this matmal. Misuse could
rt sult in a shock, fire hazard or damage
to tim range.
_2 Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct
arc not covered and art in plate. Th(ir
absem e during cooking could damage
range pm-ts and wiring.
_4_;Only certain types of glass, glassA( mmic,
eartht mwm" or other glazed containers
arc suitable tot cooktop service; othe_
may break because of the suddt n change
in temperature.
_2To minimize the possibilit Tof burns,

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 if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fatspreads. Thelower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal slxmdards require l)_x)ducls labeled "mm-garine" 1ocontain aI least 80% thl by weight. Low tht spreads, on tile
other hand, contain less li,t and more walel: The high nloistm( content ot these spr(ads atlbcls tile textln-e and tlavor
ot baked goods. For besl resuhs with your old fawwite recipes, us( margarine, bull( r or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
