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.
IMPORTANT"Thehealthofsomebirds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives
off a very smafl 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.

SURFACEUNITS-ALLMODELS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.
iiii:Never leave tim sudace units unattended at
high heat settings, l_filovers cause smoking
and g_,easyspillovers that may catcll on fire.
_; Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable f()r cooktop sets'ice; others m W
break because of the sudden clmnge in
temperamr,e.
iJ_i:;To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
the handle ofa container should be turned
towar_l tim (:enter of tim rang,e without
extending over neafl)y sudhce units.
iJ_i:;Always turn the snrla(:e units oft bef()re
removing (:ookware.
_; When preparing flaming foods under tim
vent hood, mm tim fan on,
iiii:Keep an eye on foods being flied at high or
medium high heat settings.
_; Foods f()r fiTing should be as dU as possible.
Frost on fi_)zen toods or moismr,e on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
tim sides of the pan.
iJ_i:;Use little fat fi)r effective shallow or deep fat
flying. Filling the pan too fifll of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
_; Ira combination of oils or fats will be used in
flying, stir together befbr,e heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
_; Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
iJ_i:;Use adeep fat tlmrmometer whenever

Surface Cookware tips
Use me(fium- or heax_weight cookwme.
Aluminum cookwme conducts heat t_}ster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookwzue are slow to absorb heat,
but generally cook evenly at h)w to medium
heat settings. Smel pans m W cook unevenly
if not combined xdth other metals.
For best (:{}{}kingresults, pans shouM be

The pan should not extend over tlle edge
of the sudilce unit more than 1inch.

Adjusttheoventhermostat--Easy todoyourself! .CEA,p,ances.ce,n
Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Donot use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These
thermometers may vary 20-40°F.

Use only a 3-con&_ctor or a 4-conductor UI,-listed
range cord. These cords may be pr{Mded with ring
temfinals on wire and a suain relief device.
