This section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range. Using the surface burners Your range is equipped with eectric ignitors. Eectric ignitors automaticay ight the burners each time they are used. Push in contro knob and turn countercockwise to the LITE position. The cicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Visuay check that burner has it. To stop the cicking sound after the burner ights, turn the contro knob to the desired setting. The contro knob has stops for HI, MED and LOW. However, you can set the contro knob anywhere between HI and OFF. Surface burner markers The soid dot in the surface burner marker shows which surface burner is turned on by that knob. Burner heat settings Use correct burner heat settings (see next page). If the heat setting is too high, it can: Char bacon and cause curing. Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges. Toughen iver, fish and seafood. Scorch deicate sauces and custards. Cause a boiover. Push in and turn countercockwise 7

8 Unti you get used to the settings, use the foowing as a guide. For best resuts, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the contro knob down to continue cooking. SETiNG LITE Hi MED LOW RECOMMENDED USE To ight the burner. After the burner ights, turn contro back to a desired setting to stop the cicking of the ianitor. To start foods cooking. To bring iauids to a boi. To hod a rapid boi. To fry chicken or pancakes. For gravy, pudding and icing. To cook arge amounts of vegetabes. To keep food warm unti readv to serve. NOTE: Do not cook with the contro in the LITE position. In case of a proonged power faiure Surface burners can be manuay ighted. Hod a it match near a burner and turn the contro knob to the LITE position. After the burner ights, turn the contro knob to the desired setting. Burn, Fire, and Exposion Hazard Burner fame shoud not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensi. The fame couki burn you and cause poor cooking resuts. Be sure a contro knobs are turned to OFF when you are not cooking. Someone coud be burned or a fire coud start if a burner is accidentay eft ON. If the fame shoud go out whie cooking, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the gas odor to disappear before reighting burner. If gas odor is sti present, see safety note on page 3. Faiure to foow these precautions coud resut in exposion or fire. Product Damage Hazard Do not eave an empty utensi, or one which has boied dry, on a hot surface burner. The utensi coud overheat and coud damage the utensi or cooking product. Cookware tips No one brand of cookware is best for a peope. Knowing something about pan materias and construction wi hep you seect the correct cookware for your needs. NOTE: For best resuts and greater fue efficiency, use ony fat-bottomed cookware in good condition. The pan shoud have straight sides and a tight-fiiing id. Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairy ightweight. The pan materia (meta or gass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface burners through the pan materia and how eveny heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking resuts. 8

9 Handes shoud be made of a sturdy, heatresistant materia and be securey attached to the pan. Pans shoud be easy to cean. Check to be sure there are no crevices, rough edges or areas where food might coect. Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are fu or empty. Use cookware ony as it was intended to be used. Foow pan instructions. This is very important for gass cookware because some shoud be used ony in the oven. Other pans are marked as fameware and may be used on the surface burners. Home canning information The arger diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for ong periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop. To protect your range: For best resuts, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner. Do not pace canner on two surface burners at the same time. Too much heat wi buid up and wi damage the cooktop. Start with hot water. This reduces the time the contro is set on high. Reduce heat setting to owest position needed to keep water boiing. Refer to your canner manua for specific instructions. Positioning racks and pans For baking/roasting with one rack, pace the rack so the top of the food wi be centered in the oven. Rack pacement for specific foods: FOOD Frozen pies, arge roasts, turkeys RACK POSITION 1st or 2nd rack guide from bottom Ange and bundt cakes, 2nd rack guide most quick breads, from bottom yeast breads, casseroes, meats Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies 2nd or 3rd rack guide from bottom When baking on two racks, arrange racks on first and third rack guides from bottom. NOTE: For recommended rack pacement when broiing, see Broiing rack position chart on page 15. Persona injury Hazard Aways position oven rack(s) in desired ocation before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is eve. If rack(s) must be moved whie oven is hot, use pothoders or oven mitts to protect hands. Do not pace items on the open oven door. *Be carefu when instaing and removing arge food items from extra roasting rack position. Food wi be coser to hot surfaces, incuding oven bottom and sides. Faiure to foow the above precautions coud resut in persona injury. continued on next page 9

10 Extra oven rack position (roasting rack) When roasting food too arge to be paced in oven with rack in owest position, pace rack on bottom of oven. For proper roasting, foow these guideines: The rack must be eve. Use adequate amount of iquid (meat juices or water) so food does not get overdone. Do not try to pu rack out over door. Rack wi be at the same eve as door when door is opened. r Extra oien rack position n For best air circuation Hot air must circuate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach a parts of the oven. This resuts in better baking. Pace the pans so that one is not directy over the other. For best resuts, aow 1 X-2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven was. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm). Use ony one cookie sheet in the oven at one time. Use the foowing as a guide to determine where to pace the pans: One pan Pace in the center of the oven rack. Two pans Pace in opposite corners of the oven rack. Three or four pans Pace in opposite corners on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directy over another. 10

12 Baking/roasting NOTE: Do not attempt to ight the oven burner during a power faiure. See mportant Safety Instructions on page 4 for more information Position the rack(s) propery before turning on the oven. To change rack position, ift rack at front and pu out. For further information, SW Positioning racks and pans on page 9. Set the Oven Seector to BAKE. 3. Push in and turn the Oven Temperature Contro countercockwise to the baking/ roasting temperature you want. The oven burner wi automaticay ight in seconds. 4. When baking, preheat the oven for 10 minutes. Put food in the oven. NOTES: Do not preheat when roasting or cooking items such as casseroes. Do not pace food directy on the oven bottom. 5. During baking/roasting, the oven burner wi turn on and off to maintain the temperature setting. 6. When baking/roasting is done, turn both the Oven Seector and the Oven Temperature Contro cockwise to OFF. 12

13 Adjusting the oven temperature contro Oven temperature contros wi graduay shift after years of use. So, even though your new oven is propery adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or sower than your od oven. If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, you can adjust them by foowing these steps: 1. Make sure the Oven Temperature Contro Knob is turned to the off position. Pu knob straight off and fip it over. 2. Loosen the ocking screws inside the contro knob. Note the position of the notches. 3. To ower the temperature, hod knob hande firmy and move the tooth a notch cockwise. Each notch equas about 20 F (11 C). 4. To raise the temperature, hod knob hande firmy and move the tooth a notch countercockwise. Each notch equas about 20 F (11 C). 5. Tighten the ocking screw and repace the contro knob. Locking screws Broiing 1. Position the rack propery before turning on the oven. Position the oven rack so that the surface of the food is at east 3 inches (7 cm) away from the broi burner. See Broiing rack position chart on page Preheat the broier for 5 minutes before using. 3. Put the broier pan and food on the rack. 4. Competey cose the oven door to ensure proper broiing temperatures. 13

14 5. Set the Oven Seector to BROIL. Push in and turn the Oven Temperature Contro countercockwise to BROIL. The broier wi automaticay ight in seconds. 6. When broiing is done, turn both the Oven Seector and the Oven Temperature Contro cockwise to OFF. Broiing tips Use the broier pan and grid for broiing. They are designed to drain excess iquid and grease away from the cooking surface to hep prevent spatter, smoke or fire. if you broi sma quantities, you may want to use a sma broier pan. They are avaiabe in the housewares section of many department stores. For best broiing resuts, preheat at BROIL for 5 minutes. Do not preheat with broier pan in pace. Broiing rack position determines how the burner cooks your food. The ower the position, the more broier grid area covered. See Broiing rack position chart on page 15 for more information. To sear meat, pace broier pan at one of the higher rack positions so that meat is very near the fame. Sma steaks may be broied in the higher rack positions. To cook arge steaks and other thick cuts of meat we done, move them to a ower rack position after searing. After broiing, remove the broier pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings wi bake on the pan if you eave it in the heated oven. Fire Hazard Pace meat the correct distance from the burner. Meat paced too cose to the burner coud spatter, smoke, burn or catch fire during ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or simiar pans for broiing. Aso, covering the broier grid with foi is not recommended. Poor drainage of grease coud resut in fire. 14

15 Broiing rack position chart RACK POSITION FOOD Rare steaks and fish Medium and we-done steaks and hamburgers; we-done foods such as chicken, obster, ham sices and pork chops Energy saving tips Athough the energy used for cooking is usuay a very sma percentage of the tota energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficienty. Here are some tips to hep you save energy when using your cooking product: Use pans with fat bottoms, straight sides and tight-fitting ids. Cook with a minimum of iquid or fat to hep shorten cooking time. Preheat pans ony,when recommended and for the shortest time possibe. Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface burner contro on ow to finish cooking. Use the more efficient surface burners instead of the oven when possibe. Turn on the surface burner ony after pacing fied pan on the burner grate. Oven peeking may cause heat oss, onger cooking times and unsatisfactory baking resuts. Rey on your timer to keep track of the cooking time. Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is warm. Best time to bake is right after a mea has been cooked in the oven. Preheat the oven no onger than necessary. Pan your meas for the most efficient use of the range. When using the oven to cook one food, try to cook the rest of the mea in it aso. Do not preheat when roasting or cooking items such as casseroes. Keep refector pans cean for best heat refection. 15

16 Using the automatic MEALTIMER cock The automatic MEALTIMER cock is designed to turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around. Deayed time baking/roasting is idea for foods which do not require a preheated oven, such as meats and casseroes. Do not use the deayed time cyce for cakes, cookies, etc. - undercooking wi resut. Before using the MEALTIMER cock, make sure the cock is set to the correct time of day. (See Setting the cock on page 11.) To deay start and stop automaticay: 1.

20 Using The Sef-Ceaning Cyce r In This Section Page Page How the cyce works...20 Setting the contros Before you start Specia tips The Sef-Ceaning cyce saves you from the toi and mess that often come with hand-ceaning the oven interior. Like with the other functions of your range, you operate the Sef-Ceaning cyce with the easy-to-use contros. Pease review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotess. How the cyce works The Sef-Ceaning cyce uses very high heat to burn away soi and grease. During the cyce, the oven gets much hotter than it does for norma baking or broiing. This high heat breaks up the soi or grease and burns it away. We recommend a 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce. However, you can adjust the cyce time to the amount of soi in your oven. You can set the cyce anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See Setting the contros on page 21.) The graph at the right is representative of a norma, 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce. Note that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it takes onger for the oven to coo enough to unock. Before you start Before you start the Sef-Ceaning make sure you: cyce, Handeean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the ceaning cyce for soi to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy stee-woo pad for ceaning. NOTE: DO NOT cean, move or bend the sea. Poor ceaning, baking and roasting can resut.

21 Remove any pots and pans being stored in the oven. NOTE: You can cean the broier pan and grid in the oven if you have first removed most of the soi by hand-ceaning or in a dishwasher. If most of the soi is not removed, too much smoking wi occur. Wipe out any oose soi or grease. This wi hep reduce smoke during the ceaning cyce. Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can cean the oven racks in the Sef-Ceaning cyce, but they wi become harder to side. (See page 26.) If you cean racks in the Sef-Ceaning cyce, pace them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.) Heat and odors are norma during the Sef-Ceaning cyce. Keep the kitchen we ventiated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cyce. NOTES: Do not force the Lock Lever. You coud bend or break it. The ever is designed to Setting the contros 1. Set the Oven Seector to CLEAN. Push in and turn the Oven Temperature Contro countercockwise to CLEAN. Persona Injury and Product Damage Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Sef- Ceaning cyce. It coud burn you. Do not use commercia oven ceaners in your oven. Ceaners coud produce hazardous fumes or damage the porceain finish. Do not eave any foi in oven during the, Sef-Ceaning cyce. Foi coud burn or met and damage the oven surface. stay ocked unti the oven is coo enough to safey open. Wait unti it moves freey. Do not bock the vent during the Sef- Ceaning cyce.

After the Sef-Ceaning cyce is started, the Lock Indicator Light comes on when the oven temperature goes above norma baking/roasting temperatures. The door cannot be opened and the Lock Lever must not be moved when the Lock Indicator Light is on. 6. After the Sef-Ceaning cyce is competed and the oven reaches norma baking/roasting temperatures, the Lock Indicator Light wi go off. Move the Lock Lever back to the eft. DO NOT FORCE IT. Watt unti it moves easiy. Turn the Oven Seector and Oven Temperature Contro to OFF. The Cean Indicator Light wi go off. 7. After the oven is coo, wipe off any residue or ash with a damp coth. If needed, touch up spots with a soapy stee-woo pad. To stop the Sef-Ceaning cyce at any time: 1. Push in and turn the Stop Time Knob cockwise unti it points to the correct time of day. 2. Turn the Oven Seector and Oven Temperature Contro to OFF. When the Lock Indicator Light goes off, move the Lock Lever back to the eft. DO NOT FORCE IT. Wait unti it moves easiy. Specia tips Keep the kitchen we ventiated during the Sef-Ceaning cyce to hep get rid of heat, odors and smoke. After the oven is coo, wipe up any residue or ash with a damp coth or sponge. If any spots remain, cean with a mid abrasive ceanser or ceaning sponge. 22 Cean the oven before it gets heaviy soied. Ceaning a very soied oven takes onger and resuts in more smoke than usua.
