IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the following:

Use

this

appliance

only for its intended

use

described in this manual.

. Be

sure your

appliance is properly

installed

and grounded

by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

Don’t

attempt

to repair or replace any part of

your range unless it is specifically recommended in this book.

All other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

Before

performing

any service,

DISCONNECT

THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL

BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

WARNING–AU

ranges can tip and

,.4

injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range,

attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. (See Installation Instructions.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward until it engages the device.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any

re&onj make

sure~he

device engages the range

when you push the range back.

●

Do not leave children alone-children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

Don’t allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on

the door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO

CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

●

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or

near the cooktop.

. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance.

Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot heating elements and may cause severe bums.

●

Use only dry pot holders—moist

or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in bums from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

●

DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

. Keep hood and grease filters clean

to maintain

good venting and to avoid grease fires.

●

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

b )

●

Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother

flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray, or if available, use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

●

✎

Do not touch heating elements or interior surface of oven.

These surfaces may be hot enough to bum even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units, areas nearby surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door and metal trim parts above the door. Remember: The inside surface of the oven maybe hot when the door is opened.

When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least

170”F.

This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Oven

●

Stand away from range when opening oven

door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

●

Don’t

heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

Keep oven vent unobstructed.

-.,..:.

<~.

.>. :“

Keep oven free from grease buildup.

Place oven shelf in desired position while oven is

cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact heating units in the oven.

Pulling out shelf to the shelf stop is a convenience

in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

. When using cooking or roasting bags in oven,

follow the manufacturer’s directions.

●

Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If

overheated, they can catch fire.

●

Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored

in an oven can ignite.

. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils,

or food in the oven when not in use.

Self-Cleaning Oven

Do not clean door gasket.

The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

●

Do not use oven cleaners. No

commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

●

Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Book.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler

pan and other cookware.

●

Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the Self-Clean operation.

Surface Cooking Units

Use proper

pan size-This appliance

is equipped with different size surface

>Z-.==l

/—

units. 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 heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to burner will also improve efficiency.

●

Never leave surface units unattended at high

heat settings.

Boilover

causes smoking and greasy

spillovers

that may catch on fire.

●

Be sure drip pans and vent are not covered

and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

s Don)t

use aluminum foil to line drip pans or anywhere in the oven except as described in this book. Misuse

could result in a shock, fire hazard

or damage to the range.

●

Only certain types of

glass? glas<ceramic~

earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature. See section on Surface Cooking for suggestions.

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials, and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.

—

●

Always turn surface unit to OFF before removing cookware.

Keep an eye on foods being fried at HI or MEDIUM HIGH heat settings.

To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric

shock,

always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to remove the unit.

Don’t

immerse or soak removable surface

units.

Don’t

put them in a dishwasher. Do not

self-clean the

surf’ace

units in the oven.

When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on

frozen foods

or moisture on fresh foods

can cause hot fat to bubble

up and over sides

of pan.

Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying.

Filling the pan too full of fat

can

cause

spillovers

when food is added.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Use deep fat thermometer whenever possible

prevent overheating

fat

beyond the smoking point.

Heat Setting Guide

HI—Used to begin cooking or to bring water to

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.

LO—-Used for long slow cooking

(simn]ering)

to tenderize and develop flavors. Use this setting to melt butter

and

chocolate or to keep foods warm.

COOKING TIPS

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

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 of the saucepan to the size

the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the trim ring more than 1“.

Right

Wrong

NOT OVER 1“

OVER 1“

Deep Fat Frying

● Do not overfill cookware with

fat

that may

spill

over when adding food.

Frosty

foods

bubble vigorously. Watch food

frying at

high temperatures.

Keep range and hood

clean

from grease.

Wok Cooking

● We recommend that

yOLI

use only

flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

● Use of these types of woks,

without the support ring in place, is dangerous because the wok is unstable.

● With the ring in place, heat

will be trapped inside the

ring and may cause damage to the porcelain cooktop.

HOME CANNING TIPS

Canning should be done on surface units only.

Pots that extend beyond one 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 cooktop surfaces

surrounding the surface unit.

HOW-EVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce

mixtures-

and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop surfaces surrounding surface units.

Observe the Following Points in Canning

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. 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 boi water.

—

canners are recommended.Flat-bottomed

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 Kerr: and the United States Department of

Agriculture

Extension Service.

Remember that canning is a process that generates

large

amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam

or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE:

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

large

quantities of water.

Can I use the Minute Timer during oven cooking?

A. The Minute Timer can be used during any cooking

function. The Automatic Timers (DELAY START and STOP TIME dials) are used with TIMED BAKED function only.

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 using your new range.

Oven Controls

Some models have one oven control

knob—

OVEN TEMP. Other models have two oven control

knobs—

OVEN TEMP and OVEN SET.

OVEN SET

OVEN TEMP

The Oven Cycling Light glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then goes off and on with the oven unit(s) during cooking.

PREHEATING the oven, even to high temperature settings, is speedy, It rarely takes longer than 10 minutes. Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, keep an eye on the indicator light and put food in the oven promptly after

On some models, the OVEN

TEMP knob also turns the oven OFF.

Oven Light

(on some models)

The light comes on automatically when the door is opened. (On models with oven window, use switch to turn light on and off when door is closed.)

Switch is located on the front of the door.

Oven Interior Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks, so that

when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out from the oven, and

will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them.

USING YOUR OVEN

(continued)

Adjusting Oven Thermostat

Use the time given in your recipe when using the oven for the first time. Oven thermostats, in time, 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. Your oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be

accurate than the oven which it replaced. However, if you find that your foods consistently brown too little or too much, you may make a simple adjustment in the thermostat (Oven Temp) knob.

Back of Front of

OVEN TEMP knob

To adjust the thermostat knob:

1. Pull the knob off the shaft, look at the back of the

knob and note the current setting before making any adjustments.

2. Loosen both screws on the back of the knob.

3. If the oven temperature seems too hot, move the pointer toward the words MAKE COOLER. If the temperature seems too cool, move the pointer toward the words MAKE HOTTER. Each notch will change the oven temperature about 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tighten the screws.

5. Replace the knob, matching the

flat

area of the

knob to the shaft.

BAKING

How to Set Your Range for Baking

1. To avoid possible burns, place the oven shelves in the correct position

before you turn the oven on.

OVEN SET OVEN TEMP

Close the oven door.

3. Turn the OVEN SET knob to BAKE and the OVEN TEMP knob to the temperature you desire.

4. Turn the OVEN SET knob to OFF when baking is finished.

ROASTING

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

steady, keep spattering

a minimum.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set to BAKE or TIMED

BAKE. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly. ) Roasting is

easy; just

roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

Questions and Answers

Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer?

Checking the finished internal temperature at the

completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at

half-

hour intervals after half the time has passed.

Why is my roast crumbling when I try to carve it?

Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to

Q. Do

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,

or buy rolled roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions & Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

rack in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the rack 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 rack 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 meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork allows 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 oven

may be 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 COOI enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly

cleanup easier.

1. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with

your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

5. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty

6. Broiler does not need to be preheated. However,

very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

7. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1

times per side.

2. Oven door should be open to broil stop position.

For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside

edges of meat.

4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before

broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

If your range is connected to 208 Volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

clean my oven?

A. No. Your Automatic Oven Timer uses the range

clock to help start and stop the 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 afterward, 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, I could not

move the latch handle. Why?

A. After several continuous high-temperature bakings

or broilings, the door cannot be latched. If this happens, let the oven cool by opening the oven door. After the oven has cooled, you will be able to latch the oven door 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 SET knob to OFF. Open windows to rid room of smoke. Allow the oven to cool for at least one hour before opening the door. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. A.

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 your

range to assure safe and proper maintenance.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid

(tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with a high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills, such as fat smatterings, etc., wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Lift-Up Cooktop

(on some models)

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 off before raising the cooktop. There are two side supports that lock into position when the cooktop is lifted up. The Calrod” units do not need to be removed before lifting. After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers. To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently lower the cooktop until it rests in place.

To replace a surface unit:

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

Make sure 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.

Do not cover the drip pans with aluminum foil. Using aluminum foil so close to the receptacle could cause

CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Control Panel and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

not use abrasive cleansers,

strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be removed

for easier cleaning. To remove knob, pull it straight off the stem. If knob is difficult to remove, place a towel or dishcloth between the knob and control panel and pull gently. Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

To clean outside glass finish, use a glass cleaner. Do not allow the water or cleaner to run down inside openings in the glass while cleaning.

Metal parts can be cleaned with

soap and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.

Oven Shelves

Shelves can be cleaned by hand using soap and water or with an abrasive cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with

clean

water and dry. To remove heavy, burned-on soil, you may use scouring pads. After scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry. Shelves may also be cleaned in self-cleaning oven, but will discolor and lose some luster. See the SelfCleaning section.

Broiler Pan and Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack from the oven. Remove the rack from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease in the pan into a proper container.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose while the meal is being served.

Wash; scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. The broiler pan and rack may also be cleaned in a dishwasher. Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack anywhere in the range. Do not clean in self-cleaning oven.

How to Remove the Storage Drawer or Kick Panel to Clean Under the Range

The area under the range can be reached easily for cleaning by removing the

bottom drawer (on some models). To remove, pull the drawer out all the way, tilt up the front and remove it. To replace, insert glides at the back of the drawer beyond the stop on range glides. Lift the drawer if necessary to insert easily. Let the front of the drawer down, then push in to close.

To clean under models with a front kick panel, remove the panel by pulling it

straight out

the bottom. To replace the panel, first hook the top tabs on and

then the bottom tabs.

THIS APPLIANCE.

REMOVE HOUSE FUSE OR OPEN CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE BEGINNING

INSTALLATION.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and

tiequency,

and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or time delay fuse, as noted on the rating plate.

Wiring must conform to National Electric Codes.

the electric service provided does not meet the above specifications, it is recommended that a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used.

STEP 1

PREWRE THE OPENING

1%” spacing is recommended from the range to adjacent vertical walls above cooktop surface.

Allow

30”

minimum clearance between surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal top cabinet, and 15” minimum between countertop and adjacent cabinet bottom.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can

reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a min. of 5“ beyond the bottom of the

cabinets.

THE OPENING (continued)

Flooring Under the Range

Your range, like many other household

items, is heavy and can settle into soft

floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or

carpeting.

When moving the range on this type of flooring, use care, and follow these simple and inexpensive instructions.

The range should be installed on a 1/4 inch thick

sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows:

When the floor covering ends at the

fhont

of the

range, the area that the range will rest on should

be built up with plywood to the same level or

higher than the floor covering. This will allow

the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.

STEP 2

PREIMRE

FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Use only a 3-conductor, or if required a

conductor range cord set as noted below. These cord sets are provided with ring type terminals.

The electrical rating of the cord must be 125/250

volts minimum, 40 amperes. NOTE: Only a 4-conductor cord is to be used

when the appliance is installed in a mobile home or where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.

STEP 3

1. Locate connector block at the bottom rear of

range and remove rear wiring cover.

2. Directly below the connector block is a hole

with a knockout ring for accommodating conduit fittings. Brackets provided are used to support the flexible cord strain relief, which must be

securely attached to the cord set.

STEP 7 LEVELING THE RANGE

The

range must be level. Leveling feet are locate at each corner of the base of the range. Remove the storage drawer or kick panel (depending on your model) and using channel locks, rotate the leveling feet in and out as required to level the range. (For instructions on how to remove and replace the storage drawer or the kick panel,

set

the Cleaning Under the Range section in Care

and Cleaning.) On some models, there are

plasti

covers which may be removed for easy adjustment

(just

squeeze and pull).

One of the rear leveling feet will engage the

ANTI-TIP bracket (allow for some side to side

adjustment). Allow a minimum clearance of

1/8”

between the range and the leveling foot that is

be installed into the ANTI-TIP bracket. Check the range for proper installation into the

ANTI-TIP bracket (after the range has been

properly installed) by grasping the edges of the REAR burner holes and carefully attempting to

tilt the range forward.

STEP 8 FINAL CHECK

Be sure all switches are in the “off” position before leaving the range.
