IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act requires the Governor of Ca!ifornia 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. Gas appliances can cause minor ex-
posure to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused pri-
marily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
L.P. fuels. Properly adjusted ranges, indicated by a
bluish rather than a yellow flame, will mlnlmlze Incom-
plete combustion. Exposure to these substances can
be minimized further by venting with an open window or
using aventilation fan or hood.

NCCTL12-1

OVEN IGNITION
When you turn the oven on, the glow bar Igniter begins
to heat. When the Igniter is hot enough, in about 1
minute, the gas flows into the burner and is ignited.
The Igniter glows bright orange when hot. It cycles on
and off with the thermostat and will glow whenever the
burner Is on.
I_ During a power failure the burner cannot
be lit and you should not try to do so.
OVEN VENT
When the oven Is on, heated air moves through a vent
behind the grille.
The vent is necessary for proper air circulation in the
oven and good baking results. Do not block this vent.
Doing so may cause cooking failure, fire, or damage the
oven.
NOTE:
A fan will automatically turn on during oven
functions to cool internal parts. This is normal.
The fan may continue to run even after the oven
is turned off,
OVEN COOKING
Always follow recipe carefully.
Measure ingredients properly.
Use proper pan placement. Place longest side of
pan parallel to longest side of oven.
Place pans on the oven racks with t" to
1 1/2" of air space on all sides of each pan,
Avoid overcrowding the oven,
Pans too close to each other or to oven walls block
the free movement of air. Improper air movement
causes uneven browning and cooking.
2 cake layers

4 cake layers
For best results, we recommend that you use only
one oven rack when baking. If you are baking
multiple Items and choose to use both oven racks
for baking, place oven racks on the second and
fourth shelf positions from the oven bottom.
When baking several Items stagger pans so that no
pan is directly above another.
When cooking for the first time in your new oven,
use time given on recipes as a guide. Your new oven
has been set correctly at the factory and is more apt
to be accurate than the oven It replaced. After you
have used your oven for awhile, Ifyou feel your oven
should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it your-
self. See TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS in
this manual.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking
baked products. Listen for preheat tone.
Opening the door too often to check food during
baking will allow heat loss and may cause poor
baking results.
Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads should
be baked In shiny pans -- to reflect the heat --
because they should have a light golden crust.
Yeast breads and pie crusts should be baked in
glass or dull (non-shiny) pans -- to absorb the heat
-- because they should have a brown, crisp crust.
Be sure the underside of the pan is shiny too.
Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may
cause over browning on the bottom of your food.
H"
Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures Ifexterior ofpan
is predarkened, darkened by age or oven proof
glass.
There may be some odorwhen the oven isfirst used.
This is caused by the heating of new parts and
insulation.
Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil. The foil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
results. Do not place any foil directly on the oven
bottom. Foil used on the oven bottom may damage
the oven surface; therefore, it should not be used.
Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets
without sides to allow the air to circulate properly.
We recommend 10" x 14" cookie sheets for best
results.
When recipes require preheating, have food nearby
before you open the oven door. If the oven door is
allowed to remain open for more than a brief time,
the preheat temperature will be lost. NGOVCO2-2

BROI LING p.EsslCEFo..l
Most foods can be broiled at the HI Broil Setting. Ifyou
prefer less browning and slower cooking, you may
select LO Broil.
Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the broit
burner. Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat
should be selected for broiling. For best results
steaks and chops should be at least 3/4" thick.
After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan in
the oven broiler in the proper rack position. The
recommended rack position and cooking time can
be found in the chart at right.
The closer the food is 10 the broil burner, the faster
the meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink
In the center. Moving the meat farther away from the
burner lets the meat cook to the center while brown-
Ing outside. Side one should be cooked I -2 minutes
longer than side two.
Your oven door should be completely closed
while broiling.
Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with you r
range for broiling. They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
Do not preheat when broiling, Preheating may
cause the thermostat to cycle the broil burner elf
and on, For even broiling on both sldes, start the
food on a cold pan.
Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops.
Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
Formaximum juiciness, salt the first side just before
turning the meat. Salt the second side just before
serving.
Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as
they broil. When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking and broil with skin side down. It is
not necessary to turn fish.
Never leave a soiled broiler pan in the range.
Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next time
the oven is used.
Be sure you know the correct procedure for
putting out a grease fire, See the section on
safety.
Do not cover the entire broiler
grid with foil. Poor drainage of
hot fat may cause a broiler
fire.
If a fire starts, close the oven door and turn
controls off. If fire continues, throw baking
soda on the fire, Do not put water on the fire.
POSITIONING BROILER PAN
After placing food on the broiler par',, slide the pan Into
the proper r_.ck position.
Be sure the surnp {greas_ welt]inthe pan is to the
front of the rat;ge.
