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.

Glass: There are two t)pes of glass
cookware--those tot o;'en/lse only
and those tot top-of:range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots).
Glass conducts heat ve_w slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used

Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much

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
Do not usealuminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum f_il. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of toil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
rack several inches below the food.
