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.

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,

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

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.

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:

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.

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

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 Light
(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
NOTE: Before beginning, make
sure the hands of the range clock
show the correct time of day.
Immediate Start is simply setting
the oven to start baking now and
turn off at a later time automatically.
Remember, foods continue cooking
after controls are off.

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.

Questions and Answers
Q. Is it necessary to check
for doneness with a meat
thermometer?
A. Checking the finished internal
temperature at the completion

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.

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

for longest period of time indicated

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. Is the “crackling” sound

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.
