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 smafl 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.

Usingtheprobe onthe lower convectionoven.(onsomemodels)
Formany foods, especially roasts and poultry, 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 ouflet fl7the oven.
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product n]ay result in
dainage to the pi'obe or o',ei] coi]trol.
Use the handles of the probe and plug
xdmn inserting and rem(Mng them fl'om
the fi)od and outlet.
Toavoid damagingyourprobe,donot use
tongsto puffon 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, follow
these directions for proper probe
placement.
Insert the probe completely into the
]neat, It should not touch bone, fat
or gristle,
NOTE: Failureto fully insert theprobeinto the
meat mayresult in poor cook/bgperformance
becausethe probewill sense the ovenair vs.
the foodtemperature.
b Pig
i::i!i> i. :;!t/:
Never leave your probe inside the oven dunbg
aself-cleaningor broil cycle.
Do not store the probe in the oven.
CAUTION:repreventpossibleburns,
do not unplug the probe from the oven outlet until
theovenhascooled
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 lmge muscle.
Insert the probe into the center of dishes

Adjust the upper or lower oven thermostat--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
self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

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 ahigher 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% fat by weight. I,ow fat spreads, on the
other hand, contnin less tht and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
oI baked goods. For best results with your old thvorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
