the rear leveling leg. Make sure #fits securaly into the slot.
If you pull the range out fl'om the wall fin" any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when

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 fiat bottoms largo 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 cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiencv.

Usingtheprobe.
Formany foods, especially roasts and poult_ internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
The temperature probe has a
skewer-like probe at one end and
a plug at the other end that goes
into the outlet f17the oven.
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product may result in Plug
dainaoe to the pi'obe or oxen control,
Use the handles of the prol)e and plug
xd_en inserting and remoxing them fl'om
tile fi)od and outlet.
_!_:Toavoid damagingyour probe,donot use
tongsto puff on the cablewhen removingit.
:_ Toavoidbreak/bgthe probe,makesure food
is completelydefrostedbeforeinsert/bg.
_Mter preparing the meat and placing it
on a trivet or a broiler pan grid designed
tot broiling, fl/lh)w these directions fi)r
proper probe placement.
Insert the probe completely into the
meat, It should not touch hone, fat
or gristle.
NOTE: Failureto fully insert theprobeinto the
meat mayresult in poor cook/bgperformance
becausethe probewill sensethe ovenair vs.
the foodtemperature.
_Never leave your probe inside the oven dunbg
aself-cleaningor broil cycle.
_Do not store the probe in the oven.
CAUTION:repreventpoesibleburns,
donotunplugtheprobefromtheovenoutletuntil

For roasts Mth no bone, insert the probe
into the meatiest part of the roast. For
bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe
into the center of the lowest large muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes
such as illeat loat or casseroles.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of
the inner thigh fl'om below and parallel

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 vary 20_40 degrees.
NOTE"This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling, convection or
self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!
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 l)roducts lal)eled "inaigarine" to contain at least 80% tat by weight. I,ow tat sl)reads, on the
other hand, contain less tat and inore watei; Tile high n/oisture content (ff these sl)reads affects the texture and flavor
ot baked goods. For best results with your old ti_\'orite recipes, use inargai_ine, butter or stick sl)reads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
