shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of fife.
AWARNINGANti-TIPDEVICE
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
Topre vent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti--tip
device supplied.
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range with a flashlight
to make sure one of the rear leveling legs is properly engaged in the bracket slot.
If you pull the range out fl'om the wall fin" any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when
you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible dsk of the range tipping over
and causing iqiury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open dam:

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 outlet f17the oven.
Use of probes other than the one
provided with this product Inay result in Plug

Alter preparing the meat and placing
it on a trivet or a broiler pan grid, follow
these directions for proper probe

Insert the probe completely into the
meat. It should not touch bone, fat
or gristle.
NOTE: Failureto fully insert theprobeinto the
meat mayresult in poor cooklbgperformance
becausethe probewill sense the ovenair vs.
the foodtemperature.
_Never &ave your probe inside the oven dunbg

_Do not store the probe in the oven.
CAUTION:repreventpossibleburns,

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

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 (ff these spreads affects tile textm'e and flavor
at baked goods. For best results with veto" old tm'orite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
