If you find preheating is necessary,
keep an eye on the indicator light,
and put food in the oven promptly

Be sure to wipe up excess spillage
before self-cleaning operation.
●
Cook complete oven meals instead

cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.

TIME BAKE with the oven starting
immediately and turning off at the
Stop Time set or you can set both
DELAYED START (some models
say START) and STOP dials to
automatically start and stop oven at

Setting the dials for TIME BAKE
is explained in detail on page 10.
Self-Clean Uses
Automatic Timer
The self-cleaning function on your
oven uses the Automatic Timer to
set the length of time needed to
clean whether you wish to clean
immediately or delay the cleaning
until low energy times such as
during the night. See page 20.
Questions and Answers
Q.
How can I use my Minute
Timer to make my surface
cooking easier?
A. Your Minute Timer will help
time total cooking which includes
time to boil food and change
temperatures. Do not judge cooking
time by visible steam only. Food
will cook in covered containers
even though you can’t see any
steam.

Using Your Oven
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure
you understand how to set them
properly. Read over the directions
for the Automatic Oven Timer so
you understand its use with the
controls.
2. Check oven interior. Look at
the shelves. Take a practice run at
removing and replacing them properly,
to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over information and tips
that follow.
4.
Keep this book handy so you can
refer to it, especially during the
first weeks of getting acquainted
with your oven.
Oven Controls
PREHEATING the oven, even to
high temperature settings, is speedy
—rarely more than about 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.

Baking
When cooking a food for the first
time in your new oven, use time
given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years,
may “drift” from the factory setting
and differences in timing between
an old and a new oven of 5 to 10
minutes are not unusual and you
may be inclined to think that the new
oven is not performing correctly.
However, your new oven has been
set correctly at the factory and is
more apt to be accurate than the
oven it replaced.
How to
Step 1:
certain to leave about 1 inch of
space between pans and walls of
oven for good circulation of heat.
Close oven door. During baking,
avoid frequent door openings to
prevent undesirable results.
Bake
Place food in oven, being
that you set. Examples of Immediate
Start (oven turns on now and you
set it to turn off automatically) or
Delayed Start and Stop (setting the
oven to turn on automatically at a
later time and turn off at a preset
stop time) will be described.
How to Set Immediate
Start
N~E:
sure the range clock shows the
correct time of day.
Immediate Start is simply setting
oven to start baking now and turning
off at a later time automatically.
Remember, foods continue cooking
after controls are off.

Roasting
—
Roasting is cooking by dry heat.
Tender meat or poultry can be
roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which
should below and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum. When
roasting, it is not necessary to
sear, baste, cover or add water
to your meat.
Roasting is really a baking
procedure used for meats. Therefore,
oven controls are set to BAKE. (You
may hear a slight clicking sound,
indicating the oven is working
properly.) Roasting is easy; just
follow these steps:
Step 1:
place, fat side up, on roasting rack
in a shallow pan. (Broiler pan with
rack is a good pan for this.) Line
broiler pan with aluminum foil when
using pan for marinating, cooking
with fruits, cooking heavily cured
meats, or for basting food during
cooking. Avoid spilling these
materials on oven liner or door.
Step 2: Place in oven on shelf in
A or B position. No preheating is
necessary.
Check weight of meat, and
Step 4: Most meats continue to
cook slightly while standing, after
being
removed from the oven.
Stan~ing
roasts is 10 to 20 minutes to allow
roast to firm up and make it easier to
carve. Internal temperature will rise
about 5° to 10”F.; to compensate for
temperature rise, if desired, remove
roast from oven at 5° to 10”F. less
than temperature in guide on page 14.
N~E:
BAKE, as described on page 10, to
turn oven on and off automatically.
Remember that food will continue
to cook in the hot oven and therefore
should be removed when the desired
internal temperature has been
reached.
For Frozen
. Frozen roasts of beef, pork,
lamb, etc., can be started without
thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes
per pound additional time (10
minutes per pound for roasts under
5 pounds, more time for larger
roasts).
. Thaw most frozen poultry before
roasting to ensure even doneness.
Some commercial frozen poultry
can be cooked successfully without
thawing. Follow directions given
on packer’s label.

Questions & Answers
Q. Is it necessary to check for
doneness with a meat thermometer?
A.
Checking the finished internal
temperature at the completion of
cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown on Roasting
Guide on page 14. For roasts over 8
pounds, cooked at
reduced time, check with
thermometer at half-hour intervals
after half the time has passed.
Q.
Why is my roast crumbling
when
1
try to carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if
allowed to cool 10 to 20 minutes
after removing from oven. Be sure
to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q.
Do I
need to preheat my
oven each time I cook a roast
or poultry?
A. It is rarely necessary to preheat
your oven, only for very small
roasts, which cook a short length
of time.
Q. When buying a roast, are
there any special tips that would
help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in
thickness as possible, or buy rolled
roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil
“tent” when roasting a turkey?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the
meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the

Meat Thermometer
For many foods, especially
roasts and poultry, internal food
temperature is the best test for
doneness. The meat thermometer
takes the guesswork out of roasting
by cooking foods to the exact
doneness you want. The meat
thermometer has a skewer-like
probe at one end of the cable and a
two-pronged plug at the other. Use
handle of plug and probe, rather
than cable, when inserting and
removing these parts from meat
and/or oven wall receptacle. After
preparing meat and placing in
roasting pan on rack, follow the
steps below for proper use of meat
thermometer.

Broiling
See Broiling Guide on page 17.
Broiling is cooking food by intense
radiant heat from the upper unit in
the oven. Most fish and tender cuts
of meat can be broiled. Follow
these steps to keep spattering and
smoking to a minimum.

Questions &Answers
Q. Why should I leave the door
closed when broiling chicken?
A. Chicken is the only food
recommended for closed-door
broiling. This is because chicken is
relatively thicker than other foods
you broil. Closing the door holds
-
more heat in the oven which allows
chicken to cook evenly throughout.
Q. When broiling, is it necessary
to always use a rack in the pan?
A. Yes.

cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices
are protected by the rack and stay
cooler, thus preventing excessive

Q.
Why are my meats not turning
out as brown as they should?
A. In some areas, the power
(voltage) to the range maybe low.
In these cases, preheat the broil
unit for 10 minutes before placing
broiler pan with food in oven.
Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil
for longest period of time indicated
in the Broiling Guide. Turn food
only once during broiling.
Q.
Do I need to grease my broiler
rack to prevent meat from sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed
to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping
the surface cool enough to prevent
meat sticking to the surface. However,
spraying the broiler rack lightly with
a vegetable cooking spray before
cooking will make cleanup easier.

so pointer moves down on dial until
buzzer sounds. Note indicated
temperature and reset pointer to
SIGNAL OFF. Push probe farther
down into roast, about 1 inch, then
after a few minutes redetermine
internal temperature as above. If
new temperature is lower, the probe
was probably out of position. If so,
allow meat to cook to proper
internal temperature.

Questions and Answers
Q. Can the meat thermometer
remain in the oven if it’s not
inserted in food?
A. No. Remove probe from
receptacle when not in use. You
could damage the probe by leaving
it in during cooking operations that
do not require the probe.
Q. May I insert the meat
thermometer into frozen foods?
A. No. Foods must be completely
defrosted before inserting probe.
Q. Should I line broiler pan with
aluminum foil when roasting?
A. Yes, when using pan for
marinating, cooking with fruits or
heavily cured meats, or for basting
during cooking. Avoid spilling these
materials on oven liner or door.
Q. How may I be sure that my
roast will cook the same each time?
A. When using the meat
thermometer in roasting, the probe
must be inserted properly. Check
the position of the probe during
cooking. Sometimes the probe slips
or is touching bone, fat or gristle.
Reposition probe correctly and set
oven again to finish roasting.
—
Step 2:
keeping thumb in place on probe.
Insert probe as near as possible to
center of thickness of steak. Push
probe into steak to where thumb
meets fat or meat.
Lifi
probe from meat
●
Let meat thaw enough to allow
inserting probe. The probe is
sturdy but take care not to force it
too hard into roast.
● Do not disconnect probe during
cooking. Use hotpads when
removing probe at end of cooking.
Do not use tongs to pull on cable

Rotisserie
Models
JRP14GJ, JKF16GJ
Food is cooked by revolving on
a spit under the (upper) broil unit.
As food turns, it bastes itself to
produce a succulent brown and
tender roast. Meat tender enough
for roasting may be rotissed.
1. Assemble rotisserie. Insert
curved ends of frame into large
holes of broiler pan handles. Lock
frame in place by fitting straight
ends of support into holes in center
handles.
2. Secure food on spit. When
secured correctly, food will be
located in center area of spit
leaving 4 inches free at the pointed
end (this part goes into motor).
3. To secure food on spit: Push
2-pronged fork onto spit near
handle end. Tighten with screw.
Push spit through food (tie food
securely and compactly), distributing
weight evenly on each side of spit.
To check weight distribution on
spit, hold spit (and food) between
hands, palms up; spit should roll
smoothly from palms to fingertips
when palms are tipped forward.
Finish securing food on spit by
gliding second 2-pronged fork onto
spit with prongs toward food. Tighten
screws to a flat surface on spit.
4. Place spit on frame so handle end
is in narrow support, and pointed
end is in wide U-shaped support.
Rotissing the Food
1.
Put oven shelf in lowest position
in oven. With food on spit, place
spit on oven shelf.
2. Set OVEN TEMP knob as
suggested on Rotisserie Time and
Temperature Guide at right. Settings
are 300-400”F. to get foods juicy
and done without overbrowning.
3. Switch OVEN SET knob to
ROTISSERIE. This starts broil unit
and rotisserie motor operating. Spit
can be inserted and removed more
easily when motor is operating.
N~E:
Make certain when touching
spit that no part of body or pot
holder touches coils of broil unit.
4. Insert spit into motor: Grasp
handle on spit. Using point of spit,
move to one side the cover over
motor outlet in rear of oven; push
spit firmly into motor outlet as far
as it will go. Remove handle.
5. Check rotation of food. Tighten
or adjust forks if necessary. During
cooking, forks may need tightening
due to normal meat shrinkage.
6. As food cooks, leave door ajar in
“Broil” position; door stays open
by itself.
7. Baste food if desired. With pot
holders, pull out pan and shelf
together to shelf stop. Attach
handle to spit to revolve food by
hand while basting. To continue
cooking push shelf and broiler pan
into oven, insert spit into motor,
remove handle.
Rotisserie Notes
● Do not use electric meat
thermometer, on models so
equipped, while operating the
rotisserie. A regular, non-electric
meat thermometer may be used
while rotissing providing it doesn’t
touch the oven, frame or pan while
meat revolves. (Or, if desired, cook
to estimated doneness then pull
meat from oven to insert meat
thermometer. Wait about 2 minutes
for temperature to register. If meat
is not done, remove thermometer
and continue cooking if necessary. )
. If rotissing turkey, let stand in
warm oven 10 to 20 minutes after
cooking to assure juicy meat and

Questions and Answers
Q. Why won’t my oven clean
immediately even though I set
all the time and clean knobs
correctly?
A. Check to be sure your
DELAYED START dial is set to
the same time as the range clock.
Also check to be sure LATCH
HANDLE is moved to the right.
Q.
If my oven clock is not working,
can I still self-clean my oven?
A. No. Your Automatic Oven
Timer uses the range clock to help
start and stop your self-cleaning
cycle.
Q. Can I use commercial oven
cleaners on any part of my
self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should
be used around any part of this
oven. If you do use them and do not
wipe the oven absolutely clean, the
residue can scar the oven surface
and damage metal parts the next
time the oven is automatically
cleaned.
Q.
Can I clean the Woven Gasket
around the oven door?
A. No, this gasket is essential for
a good oven seal, and care must be
taken not to rub, damage or move
this gasket.
Q. After having just used the
oven, the LOCKED light came
on and I could not move the
LATCH HANDLE. Why?
A. After several continuous
temperature bakings or
the LOCKED light may come on.
The oven door can’t be latched for
self-cleaning while the LOCKED
light is on. If this happens, let the
oven cool until the LOCKED light
goes off. Then the oven door can
be latched for self-cleaning.
Q.
What should I do if excessive
smoking occurs during cleaning?
A.
This is caused by excessive soil,
and you should switch the OVEN
high-
broilings,
SET knob to OFF. Open windows
to rid room of smoke. Allow the
oven to cool for
before opening the door. Wipe up
the excess soil and reset the clean
cycle.
Q. Is the “crackling” sound I
hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the metal heating
and cooling during both the
cooking and cleaning functions.
Q. Should there be any odor
during the cleaning?
A. Yes, there maybe a slight odor
during the first few cleanings.
Failure to wipe out excessive soil
might also cause an odor when
cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like
lines on the enameled surface
of my oven?
A. This is a normal condition
resulting from heating and cooling
during cleaning. They do not affect
how your oven performs.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my
oven after cleaning?
A.
Some types of soil will leave a
deposit which is ash. It can be
removed with a damp sponge or
cloth.
Q.
My oven shelves do not slide
easily. What is the matter?
A. After many cleanings, oven
shelves may become so clean they
do not slide easily. If you wish
shelves to slide more easily,
dampen fingers with a small
amount of cooking oil and rub
lightly over sides of shelf where
they contact shelf supports.
Q.
My oven shelves have become
gray after the self-clean cycle. Is
this normal?
A. Yes.
the shelves may lose some luster
and discolor to a deep gray color.
After the self-clean cycle,
