Description

Flattened metal tubing containing electric resistance wire suspended over a drip pan.

How it Works

Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than radiant or

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

HI—Used to begin cooking or to bring water to a boil. Reduce heat setting after water boils.

Medium High—( Setting halfway between HI and MED) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

MED—Saute and brown; keeps food at a medium

boil or simmer. Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and

LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in covered pan.

Controls

Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the heat setting you want.

Be sure you turn control to OFF when you finish cooking.

At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. You may hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the unit

Cookware

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the bottom. Match the size the surface unit. The pan should edge of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail

—

Do not use woks that have support rings.

Use of these types of

woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

HOME CANNING TIPS

Canning should be done on surface units only. Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of surface unit’s drip

pan are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER

CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS

FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER

THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

mixtures—

(lt)tltinitcd tlc.t-t

pcltqc)

HOME CANNING TIPS

(continued)

Observe the Following Points in Canning

1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the

surface unit. If your range or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit,

use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.

2. For best results, use canners with flat bottoms.

Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often

found in enamelware) don’t make good contact

with

the

surface unit and take a long time to

boil water.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.

FEATURES OF YOUR OVEN CONTROL

Not all features are on all models. Appearance may vary.

l—

3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from

reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and

Kel”r;

and the United States Department of

Agriculture Extension Service.

4. Remember that canning is a process that generates

large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may take longer than expected. even though directions have been carefully followed.

The process time will be shortened by:

(1) using a pressure canner, and (2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating

of large quantities of water.

USING YOUR OVEN

Oven Shelves

When placing cookware on a shelf. pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove the shelves from the oven, pull toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull them out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension under the shelf) facing up toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the

pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

. Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning, Cakes and cookies require this type of pan.

● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking

in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be reduced by

25°F.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles

10 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the the oven. Allow 1- to 1X-inch space between pans as

well

as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for the best baking results.

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

Pies Cakes

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil

pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet

for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause

uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

ROASTING

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during

roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat 01 poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and

steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or Timed

Baking. (You may hem a slight clicking sound,

indicating the oven is working properly. ) Timed

Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.

1. Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating

is necessary.

2. Check the weight

of the meat. Place it, fat side up, (or for poultry, breast-side- up) on the roasting grid in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing, after being removed from the oven. Standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to

10“F.; to compensate for the temperature increase, if

desired, remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to

10°F. less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when

the desired internal temperature has been reached.

3. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the desired setting.

4. After roasting is complete, turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF and then remove the food from the oven.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan. This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

BROILING

Do not lock the oven door with the latch while broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the

upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving layer

about 1/8 inch thick.

2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.

Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.

3. Position a shelf on the recommended shelf position

suggested in the Broiling Guide.

Use of Aluminum Foil

Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the foods for the first side according to the

Broiling Guide.

Turn the food, then use the times given for the second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.

4. Leave the door open to the

broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature , ~ is maintained in the oven.

5. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to BROIL.

6. When broiling is finished, turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF. Serve the food immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven

to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.

Questions and Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always

use a grid in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the

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

spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the

meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish. brush each side often with butter.

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown

as they should?

A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range

may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element for with food in oven. Check the recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler grid to prevent

meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler grid is designed to reflect broiler

heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent the meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler grid lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make clean-up easier.

CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART

THE RANGE.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason,

be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Surface Units and Drip Pans

,.b

‘

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest

setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil. CAUTION

● Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and

the surface units are cool before attempting to remove them.

●

Do not immerse the surface units in 1

iquids

of any kind.

● Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.

● Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

● Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair

the plug-in receptacle.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units must be removed first

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan and pull it out.

Surface

Unit

Drip Pan

Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch. If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than 1 inch above the drip pan can permanently damage the receptacle.

To replace a surface unit:

● Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop.

Make sure the opening in the pan lines up with the receptacle.

“

Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the

opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.

● Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.

Drip Pans

Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans. For best results, clean the drip pans by hand. Place

them in a covered container (or a plastic bag) with

1/4

cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with

soap filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse with

clean water and polish with a clean soft cloth. The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher. Black drip pans (on some models) may be cleaned in

a self-cleaning oven after they have been thoroughly rinsed. However, self-cleaning them may cause them to lose their original luster and shine.

Clean the area under the drip pans often.

Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire. Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil

so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to the range.

Lift-Up Cooktop

Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up for easier cleaning. To make cleaning easier, the

entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position.

Be sure all surface units are turned raising the cooktop. The surface units do not need to

be removed, however, you may remove one raising the cooktop easier. There are two side supports that lock into position when the cooktop is lifted up.

CARE AND CLEANING

The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. Do not lift the door by the handle. This can cause the glass to break or can cause damage to the door.

To remove the door,

few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the

special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom

of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the

door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time.

If the hinges snap back against the oven frame,

pull them back out. TO CLEAN THE DOOR:

Inside of the door:

● Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during

the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this

by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.

. The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with

a scouring pad.

open it a

● Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the

fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and fitting oven door gasket is essential for efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the

bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Outside of the door: . Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,

sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

. Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces

and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When the surface is cool, clean and rinse.

Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or

Oven Light Replacement

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely.

The oven light bulb is covered with a removable glass cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach cover easily.

To remove:

Hold a hand under the cover so it doesn’t fall when released. With fingers of the same

hand, firmly push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.
