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.

tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device
supplied. (See Installation
In~t!ructions.)
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 reason. make sure the 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 range top.
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.
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 burns.
Use only dry pot
holders—
moist or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces may result in burns 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 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.
Keep hood and grease filters
to maintain good venting
clean
and to avoid grease fires.
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.
c
Do not touch heating elements
or interior surface of oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn 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 and areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening and surfaces near the opening, and crevices around the oven door. Remember: The inside surface of the oven may be 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
s
Keep oven vent duct
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.
c
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.
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.
Surface Cooking Units .
Use proper pan
appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select cookware having 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
unattended at high heat settings.
Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Be sure drip pans and vent
ducts are not covered and are
place.
in
Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.
Don’t use aluminum foil to
line drip pans
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 range-top 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.
size—This
flat
units
or anywhere in
(continued)
c
Always turn surface unit to OFF before removing cookware.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high 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 surface 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
to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

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.
Tq)s
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
canner to be centered on 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
long
to boil water.
RIGHT
smaller-
WRONG
use
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.

Surface Cooking Guide
Cookware Tips
1. 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 or medium settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.
2. To conserve the most cooking energy, pans should be flat on the bottom, have straight sides and tight fitting lids. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. A pan that extends more than an inch beyond the edge of the trim ring traps heat causing discoloration on chrome trim rings ranging from blue to dark
grey.
3.
Deep Fat Frying. Do not overfill
kettle with fat that may spill over
when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch foods frying at high temperatures and keep range and hood clean from
a~~lllllulated
grease.

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.
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 see any steam.
Q.
Must the clock be set on correct time of day when I wish to use the Automatic Timer for baking?
A. Yes, if you wish to set the
DELAY START or STOP TIME dials to turn on and during timed functions.
Q. 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 TIME BAKE function only.
Q. Can I change the clock while
I’m Time Cooking in the oven? A. No.

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 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 range.
at
Oven Controls
The controls for the oven are marked OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP. The OVEN SET control has settings for BAKE, TIME BAKE, BROIL, CLEAN and OFF. When you turn the knob to the desired setting, the proper heating units are then activated for that
operation. OVEN TEMP control maintains the
temperature you set, from WARM

(on
models so equipped)
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 front of door.
Oven Interior Shelves
J
The shelves are designed with
stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they (a) will stop before coming completely from the oven, and
(b) will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them.
TO REMOVE THE SHELVES
from the oven, pull them toward you, tilt front end upward and pull them out.
TO REPLACE, place shelf on shelf support with stop-locks (curved extension under shelf)
facing up toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up front and push the
shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past “stop” on the
oven wall. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

thermostats, over a period of years,
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

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,
]amb,
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).
Q
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.

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.

Leave
door ajar a few inches (except when broiling chicken). The door stays open by
itself,
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
1
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.

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 from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking
spray before cooking will make
cleanup easier.

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 DELAY
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 the self-cleaning
cycle.
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part of my
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
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. 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 oven after cleaning?
my
.
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. To make shelves slide more easily
after each
self-cleaning cycle, 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. After the self-clean cycle,
the shelves may lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray.
Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven is self-cleaning?
A. Yes.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use the cooktop just as you normally do.

Adjusting Oven Thermostat
Use the time given in your recipe when using the oven for the first time. Oven thermostats. in 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 accurate than the oven which it replaced. However,
if
your foods consistently brown too little or too much, you may make a simple adjustment in the thermostat (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 any adjustments.
2. Loosen both screws on the back of the knob.
3. If the oven temperature seems too hot, move the top screw toward the word HOTTER. If the temperature seems too cool, move the screw toward the word COLDER. Each notch changes the temperature by about Fahrenheit.
4. Tighten the screws.
