IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
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 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
small 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.
Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury, If your model has a
surface light, you must racycle the fluorascent light bulb
according to local, state and federal codes.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this Owner's Manual

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as
butter or margarine (80% fat). ff you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the
same results as with a higher fat producL
Recipe failure can result ff cakes,pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with
low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spreadproduct, the more
noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain
at least 80% tat b_ weigln. Lowtat spreads, on tile ()tiler hand,
contain less tat and rnore water. Tile high rnoisture content of these
spreads aflect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
resuhs with )our old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick
spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven lithe recipe calls tot it. To preheat, set the oven
at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessat)" lot good results
when b_lMng cakes cooMes, pastry and breads.
Forovens without a preheat indicator light ortone, preheat I0 minutes.
Baking, results will be better if bakir|g, lxms are centered in the ()veil
as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls
otthe ()veil. If you need to use t_o shelves, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 1_'_"ti'om
the ti'ont otthe pan to the ti"ont otthe shelf.

Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum toil. This will
disturb the heat circulation and resuh in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of toil may be used to catch a spillover by

Cleaning the glass cooktop.
Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream before you use the cooktop for
the first time. Also, clean the glass surface after each use. Thishelps
protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
To clean the cooktop seal, let a wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes, then
wipe clean. Use a mild detergent if needed.
Do not use a knife or any sharp object on the seal because it will cut or
damage it.
