ANTI-TIPDEVICE
•All ranges can tip.
• BURNSor other SERIOUS
INJURIEScan result.
• INSTALLand CHECKthe
ANTI-TIP bracket following
the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
Toreduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation
instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details
before attempting to install.
Tocheck if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath
the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket.
On models without a storage drawer or kick panel, carefully tip
the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within
4 inches. If# does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the
range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat
this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the
anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not
be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
It you did not receive an anfi-dp bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at 11o
cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The Cafifomia 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.

result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware tosurface unit will also improve efficiency.
Never lem'e die surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Believers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers ttlat may catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, gktssA:eramic,
earfllenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cookmp setMce; ottlers may break
because of tile sudden change in mmpetaune.
To minimize tile possibilit T of burns, igmidon
of flammable mamrials and spillage, file handle
of a container should be atrned toward tile
center of file range without extending over
nearby surface units.
Always turn tile surface units off before
removing cookware.
When preparing flaming foods under tile
hood, utrn tile fan on.
Use care when touching the cookmp.
Tile _ass surface of tile cookmp will retain
heat after tile controls have been turned off:
Keep an eye on foods being flied at high or
medium high heat settings.
Foods for flying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisutre on flestl
foods can cause hot fat m bubble tap and
over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for eft>clive shallow or deep
fat flTing. Filling the pan me fltll of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in flTing, stir togettler before heating, or
as fats melt slowly.
Ah,vaysheat fat slowl); and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat tllemlomemr whenever
possible m prevent overbearing fat beyond
the smoking point.
Avoid scratching tile glass cookmp. Tile
cookmp can be scratched with imms such
as sharp insmmlents, rings or otherjewehT,
and rivets on clottling.
Iarge scratches or impacts to glass doors or
cookmps can lead m broken or shattered glass.
Do not operate tile radiant surface units if tile
glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution
may penetram a broken cookmp and cream a
risk of elecuical shock. Contact a qualified

Good conductMty. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on tile
cookmp, but call be removed if cleaned
immediately: Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.

Copper may leave residues which call
appear as scratches. Tile residues call
be removed, as long as tile cooktop is
cleaned immediately. Howevei, do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheamd metal call
bond to glass cooktops, zMl overheamd

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 2040 degrees.

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 fat spreads. Thelower the
fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" m contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more WamL The high moisture conmnt of these spreads Jf_cts the texture and flavor
