IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

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 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.

Home Canning

Canning should be done on

surface units only.

Pots that extend beyond one inch of cooking element’s trim ring 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.

HOWEVER, 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 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 surface unit, use diameter pots for good canning results.

2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they don’t make enough contact with the surface unit and take too

WRONG

3. When canning,

procedures from reputable sources, Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner: manufacturers of canning, such as Ball and Kerr; 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 range is being operated on low power (voltage), canning may take longer than expected, even though directions have been carefully followed. The process time will be shortened by: (1) using (2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating of quantities of water.

Time Bake Uses Automatic Timer

Using Automatic Timer, you can TIME BAKE with the oven starting immediately and turning off at the Stop Time set or you can set both DELAY START and STOP TIME dials to automatically start and stop oven at a later time of day. It takes the worry out of not being home to start or stop the oven.

Setting the dials for TIME BAKE is explained in detail in the Baking section of this book.

Self-Clean Uses Automatic Timer

The self-cleaning function on your range 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 the

Self-Cleaning instructions in

this book.

may “drift” from the factory setting and a difference in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes is not unusual. Since your new oven has been set correctly at the factory it is more likely to be accurate than the oven it replaced.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

Step 1: Place food in oven, being

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.

How to Set Immediate

Start and Automatic Stop

NOTE: Before beginning, make

sure the hands of the range clock

Step 4: 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. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to

10”F. If you wish to compensate for temperature increase, remove the roast from the oven (at 5° to

10”F. less than temperature in the guide).

NOTE: You may wish to use TIME BAKE, as described in the

Baking section, to turn oven on and off automatically y.

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 Roasts

. Frozen roasts of beef, pork,

etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to minutes per pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, allow more time per pound 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 and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check

for doneness with a meat

thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal

temperature at the completion cooking time is recommended. Temperatures Roasting Guide on opposite page. For roasts over 8

with reduced time, check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the time has passed.

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

A. Roasts are easier to slice if

allowed to cool 10 to 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 air to circulate and brown the meat.

yet the proper temperature is

maintained in the oven.

Step 5: Turn both OVEN SET and

OVEN TEMP knob to BROIL. Preheating units is not necessary. (See notes in Broiling Guide.)

Step 6: Turn food only once during broiling. Time foods for first side per Broiling Guide.

Turn food, then use times given for

second side as a guide to preferred doneness. (Where two thicknesses and times are given together, use first times given for thinnest food.)

Step 7:

When finished broiling, turn OVEN SET knob to OFF. Serve food immediately, leaving the broiler pan

and rack outside oven to cool during meal for easiest cleaning.

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. 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.

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

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

A. In some areas, the power 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 the surface cool enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking

spray before cooking will make

cleanup easier.
