IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The Californb Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Californb to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
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.

Baking results will be better if baking

pan, place the pans so each has at least 1"
(2.5 cm)to 1½" (3.8 cm) of air space
around it.
/Aluminum Foil
/1¢ You can use ahuninuin foil to line the
_/ broiler pan and broiler grid. Howexe_;
__S you must mold the fifil tighfl) to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Without the slits, the toil will prevent ti_t
gut slits in the foiljust like the grid. and meat juices ti'om draining into the
broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If w_u
do not cut tile slits, you are essentially
fiTing , not broiling.
Donotusealuminumfoilonthebottomof
theoven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum fifil. This Mll disturb tile heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of fl)il may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower

Oven Vent
Y_)ur oven is vented through one vent
located toward the rear ot the range, Do
not block this vent when cooking in the
oven--it is important that the flow oI hot
air fl'om the oven and fl'esh air to the
oven burner be uninterrupted, Avoid
touching the vent openings or nearby
surfaces duringoven or broiler operation--
they may become hot
_Handlesofpotsandpansonthecooktopmay
becomehotif left toodosetothevenL
_Donot leaveplastic items on the cooktop--
theymay melt if left too closeto the venL
;;Ji::Donot leaveany items on thecooktop. Thehot
air from the vent mayignite flammableitems
and will increasepressurein closedcontainers,
whichmay cause themto burst.
_Metal items will become veryhot if theyare
left on the cooktop,and couldcause burns.
Power Outage
CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate
the electric i_?nitionoven during an electrical
power failure.
The oven or broiler cmmot be lit dtwing a
power fifilm'e, Gas will not flow tmless the
glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power fifilm'e
occm_, the oven bm'ner shuts off and
cannot be re-lit tmfil power is restored.
This is bec;mse the flow of gas is
automatically stopped and will not resume
when power is restored tmtil the glow bar
has reached operating temperattu'e.

Adjusttheoventhermostat--Do it yourself! vvww.GEAppliances.ca(Canada)
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.
Donot use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary20-40 degrees (11-22 degrees in Canada).
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning
temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!
Most recipes for bak&g have been developed uslog 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.
U.S. federal standards reqtlire l)ro(hl('ts labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight. I,ow-tilt spreads, on
the other hand, contain less fat and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and
flavor of baked goods. For best results with u)ur old tm'orite recipes, rise inalgarine, butter or stick spreads containing
at least 70% vegetable oil.
