iMPORTANT SAFETY
HOTICE!
The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the governor of
California to publish alist of
substances known to the state
to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm and requires
businesses to warn their cus-
tomers of potential exposure to
such substances. The fiberglass
insulation in a self.cleaning oven
will give off avery small amount
of carbon monoxide during the
cleaning cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with an
open door or window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
IMPORTANT: 1'he health of some
birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the
self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well,
ventilated room.

OPERATION
RadiantCooktopCooking
When the knobs are turned on, coils
beneath the glass radiate heat
through the glass to the cooking
utensil, tt will take a few minutes for
the coils to heat; as they do, a red
glow can be seen on the surface of
the cooktop
1. Push down to turn
the knob
2. Set on or between o_F
numbers for ._'_i o
desired heat .
The surface unit indicator light will
glow when any cooking zone is
activated
It is normal to see the elements glow
red and then dark while cooking at
settings below high This cycling on
and off is used to maintain your
selected control setting Cycling when
the selector is set on Hi is due to poor
transfer of heat to cookware that is not
flat The temperature limiters of the
cooking zones may turn the radiant
coils on and off while cooking or
canning to provide protection against
the overheating of the glass ceramic
This procedure helps maintain an
even cooking temperature without
allowing the cooking zones to
overheat
Water-bath or pressure canners and
large diameter pots extending more
than 1" beyond the edge of the
cooktop element may be used for
canning However, do not use large
diameter canners, pots or pans for
anything other than boiling water,
Most syrup or sauce mixtures, and all
types of frying, cook at temperatures
much higher than boiling water Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the cooktop surfaces surrounding the
surface units.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
It is normal to have some odor when
using your oven for the first time. To
help eliminate this odor, ventilate
the room by opening awindow
or using avent hood.
iMPORTANT: Never cover the oven
bottom or oven rack with aluminum
foil Improper use can cause poor
heat flow, poor baking results, and
may damage the oven finish To
prevent staining from spillovers, you
may place a piece of aluminum foil or
cookie sheet below the food which
may spill over
The oven vent is located under the
right rear element This area could
become very hot during oven use
Never block this vent.
In the back of the oven you will notice
a small tube This is a heat sensor
that maintains the temperature of the
oven Never move or bend this tube,
Oven ------___
Temperature Sensor
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results
The low temperature zone of your
oven (between 170° and 200 ° F)is
available to keep hot cooked foods
warm. However, foods kept at these
temperatures longer than 2 hours
may spoil
To prolong the life of your oven light
bulb, follow these helpful tips: Always
turn the light off when the oven is not
in use or after a clean cycle If your
appliance does not have a window in
the door, you will need to open the
door to make sure the oven light is off
If your oven light is left on for an
extended period of time, the oven will
be warm when the door is opened
due to the heat generated from the
oven light bulb
Preheating is bringing the oven
temperature up to the temperature
you will be using during baking
13

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without
sides, allow air to circulate all around
the cookies for even browning.
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high-fat products
such as butter or margarine (80% fat
by weight - the federal requirement
for products labeled "margarine")
You will get poor results if cakes, pies,
pastries, cookies or candies are made
with low-fat spreads Low-fat spreads
contain less fat and more water. The
high moisture content of these
spreads affects the texture and flavor
of favorite baked recipes. The lower
the fat content of a spread product,
the more noticeable these differences
become To ensure best results, use
margarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil
If baking with more than one pan,
place the pans so each has at least 1
to 1 t/2" of air space around it. Place
pans so one is not directly above the
other.
SHINY PANS reflect heat, and are
perfect for cakes and quick breads
that need a light brown crust
GLASS, DARK NON-STICK OR
DARKENED BY AGE
BAKEWARE, absorb heat, and can
be used for yeast breads, pie crust or
foods that need a brown crust, The
oven temperature, when using these
pans, should be reduced by 25°F.
The Oven Temperature Sensor
continuously senses and controls
the temperature inside the oven To
keep a constant set temperature,
the elements wilt cycle or turn on
and off during cooking

OPERATION
Broiling
Broiling is cooking by direct heat
from the upper element The oven
door should remain open to the broil
stop position during broiling
it is not necessary to preheat the
oven when broiling Use the broiler
pan and grid that came with your
range Both are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids
_f foil is used it must
be molded tightly to
the grid and slits cut
into the foil to match
those of the grid. This
allows fats and liquids to
drain into the broiler pan,
preventing fire and
excessive smoke.
Always remove the pan and
grid from the oven. (_
Storing or forgetting
asoiled broiler pan
in the oven is a potential
smoke or fire hazard.
The U S Department of Agriculture
recommends to cook meat and
poultry thoroughly--meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F
and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of I80°F Cooking to
these temperatures usually protects
against food-borne illness
The closer you place foods to the
broil element, the faster foods brown
on the outside yet remain red to pink
in the center
Moving meats away from the element
will allow the meat to cook to the
center while browning on the outside.
Cook side 1 at least 2 minutes longer
than side 2 If your oven is connected
to 208 volts, you may want to use a
higher rack position andfor broil
foods longer
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature and your preference of
the doneness of the meat will affect
broiling This chart is based on meats
at refrigerator temperature
