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-ventilated room.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS INFORMATION NOW!
Be sure everyone in your home
knows what to do in case of fire.
Never use water on a grease fire;
it will only spread the flames.
COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
Never pick up a flaming pan...
1. Turn off the surface elements
2. Smother the flame with a tightly
fitting lid, use baking soda, or
use a dry chemical, foam, or
halon-type extinguisher,
OVEN FIRE:
Do not try to move the pan!
1. Close the oven door and turn
controls off
21 If fire continues, carefully open the
door, throw baking soda on the
fire, or use a dry chemical, foam,
or halon-type extinguisher.

Stainless Steel: Highly
recommended for use with your new
cooktop, Especially good with a clad
bottom,
Aluminum: Heavyweight aluminum
cookware recommended,
Cast Iron: Cast-iron cookware that is
completely covered with porcelain
enamel is recommended. Cast iron
that is not covered with porcelain
enamel may scratch the glass
ceramic surface of the cooktop.
Copper Bottom: Has good
performance, but it can leave a
residue on the cooktop surface if
allowed to boil dry.
Glass-Ceramic or Stoneware:
Usable Check for rough edges or
burrs, which may scratch the cooktop
surface.
When the knobs are turned on, coils
beneath the glass radiate heat
through the glass to the cooking
utensil It will take a few moments for
the coils to heat; as they do, a red
glow can be seen below the surface
of the cooktop.
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:
•The pan boils dry.
• The pan bottom is not flat.
• The pan is off center.

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 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 spillovers, you may place a piece
of aluminum foil or a cookie sheet on a
rack below the food which may spill over
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results.
Preheating is bringing the oven tempera-
ture up to the temperature you wilt be
using during baking Let the oven preheat
when recipes call for preheating. This will
take approximately 15-20 minutes.
The low temperature zone of your
oven (between 170°F and 200°F)is
available to keep hot cooked foods warm,
However, foods should not be kept at
these temperatures longer than 2 hours.
The oven vent is located behind the right
rear zone. This area could become hot
during oven use It is normal for steam to
come out of the vent and!or collect
moisture underneath when the oven is in
use The vent is important for proper air
circulation, Never block this vent.

When using your convenient Delay Start
operation, foods such as dairy products,
fish, poultry, etc, should never sit more
than I hour before cooking. Room
temperatures and the heat from the oven
light promote bacterial growth.

helpful tip: 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

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips(cont.)
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.
The bake element is under the oven floor.
Do not place food on the oven bottom for
cooking.
The Oven Temperature Sensor at the back
of the oven 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),
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible, If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1 to tl/2" of air space around it. If baking
four cake layers at the same time, place
two layers on rack 2 and two layers on
rack 4. Stagger pans on the rack 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
golden brown crust.
GLASS, DARK NON-STICK, OR
DARKENED-BY-AGE BAKEWARE
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 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 racks
are pulled out of the oven, This design
