IMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICE!
The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the governor of
California to publish a list of
substances known to the state
to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm and requires
businesses to warn their
customers of potential exposure
to such substances. The
fiberglass insulation in a
self.cleaning oven will give off
a very 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: The 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.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
Preheating is bringing the oven
temperature up to the temperature
you will be using during baking. Let
the oven preheat thoroughly when
recipes call for preheating.
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 a window
or using a vent 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 spil!overs, you
may place a piece of aluminum foil or
a cookie sheet on the rack below the
food which may spill over.
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 _" _1
Temperature Sensor
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results.
The oven vent is located under the
right rear element. This area could
become very hot during oven use. It
is normal for steam to come out of the
vent and/or collect moisture under-
neath when oven is in use, The vent is
important for proper air circulation,
Never block this vent.

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 during a clean cycle. 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

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
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 11/2"of air space around it. Place
pans so one is not directly above the
other.
FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without
sides, allow air to circulate all around
the cookies for even browning.
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 BAKE-
WARE absorbs 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 will cycle (turn on and
off during cooking),
The oven racks are designed with
stops, a convenience as well as a
safety precaution. The guides have a
bump to prevent the racks from tilting
when they are pulled out of the oven.
This design allows the racks to be
inserted in only one way.
Your oven has four (4) rack positions

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
,, ,,,,, , ,,,,,,,,,,, ,, ,,,,,,,,,, _±_,
ir-
lf 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 a
soiled broiler pan
in the oven is a
potential smoke
or fire hazard.
The US 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 !80°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 and/or 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.

4. Do not clean the gasket,
The fiberglass material of the
oven door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact_ If you
notice it becoming worn or frayed,
it should be replaced.
The door gasket is designed to have
a 5"-6" gap at the bottom of the door.
This allows for proper air circulation.
Door Panel Gasket
Door Liner
It is normal for your oven door to give
the appearance of not having a good
