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.

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
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 relationshJ _of cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency.

at high heat settings. Boiloxers cause
smoking attd greasy spilloxers that m W
catch on fire.

Adjustthe oventhermostat--Do it yourself!
Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one #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 only affect baking and roasting temperatures; #will not affect broiling, convection or

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformanc!!
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" to contain at least 80% tat by weight. I,ow tat spreads, on tile
other hand, contain less tat and more water: The high moisture content ot these spreads affects the texture and flavor
ot baked goods. For best results with veto" old ti_\'orite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
