SURFACE COOKING

At both OFF and HI settings, there is a slight niche. When turning the control knob to either of these positions, you will feel the control “click” into the niche.

When cooking in a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight “clicking” sounds—an indication that the heat settings you selected are being maintained.

Switching heats to higher settings always results in a quicker change than switching to lower settings.

How to Set the Controls

Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

HI—Bring water to boil. MEDIUM HIGH—Fast fry, pan broil; maintain fast

boil on large amount of food. MED—Saute and brown; maintain slow boil on large

amount of food. MEDIUM LOW—Cook after starting at HI; cook

with little water in covered pan. LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintain serving

temperature of most foods.

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 of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the trim ring more than one inch.

NOTE:

1. At HI or MEDIUM HIGH, never leave food

unattended.

HOME CANNING TIPS

Canning should be done on surface units only.

In surface cooking, the use of pots extending more than one inch beyond the edge of the surface unit’s drip pan is not recommended. However, when

canning with a water-bath or pressure canner,

large-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

● Do not use woks that have

support rings. Use of these

Withoutthering;np,ace

types of woks, with or can be dangerous.

the ring over the surface unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

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 cooktop surfaces surrounding

surface units.

Placi~g

,,i*::;:,.:’’~;:::hN~<

mixtures—

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. 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.

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 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 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.

Before Using Your Oven

USING YOUR OVEN

1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand

how to set them properly. Read over the directions for the Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.

2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

Read

over the 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 Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the “stop” position. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

NOTE:

● A fan may automatically turn on to cool internal

parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

● You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first

few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a new oven and will dissipate in a short time. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle (see the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.) lasting a minimum of 3 hours.

To remove the shelves

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

YozwseZ$—Adjust

the Oven Thermostat

If you don’t think the oven is heating at the right temperature when you are baking or roasting, you can reset the thermostat yourself.

When cooking food for the first time in your oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting and the 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.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in the grocery

store, to re-adjust the temperature setting oven. These thermometers can vary by 20-40 degrees.

To decide how much to change the temperature,

set the oven temperature the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results

of this “test” should give you an idea of how much the

temperature should be changed.

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, lower the temperature by

25”F.

and use the recommended cooking time in the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies or casseroles.

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 walls of the oven. Allow 1 to as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you use 2 shelves, stagger the pans so 1 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 roll pan (short sides all around) may have 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 1 cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause to produce a browner, crisper crust.

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 to a minimum.

1. Place the shelf in A

or B position. No preheating is necessary.

2. Check the weight of the meat, and place, fat-side-up, or poultry breast-side-up, on the roasting rack in a

shallo~ 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 rack is a good pan for this.) Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil

when using pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats, or basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these materials inside the oven door.

the Roasting Guide.)

NOTE:

● You may wish to use Timed Baking, as described in

the Baking section of this guide, to turn the oven on and off automatically.

● Remember that food will continue to cook in the

hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

● A fan may automatically turn on to cool internal

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook

a roast or poultry?

It is unnecessary to preheat your oven.

A. 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.

BROILING

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper unit 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 near the edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8” thick.

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

which comes with the range. Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the

juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.

Position the shelf on the recommended shelf position

as suggested in Broiling Guide. Most broiling is done on C position, but if your range is connected to 208 volts, you may wish to use a higher position.

4. Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays

open by itself, yet proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

Press the

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.

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

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 also 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 range

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.

Page 21

1. Always use the 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.

2. The oven door should be open to the broil

stop position.

3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.

4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to

10 minutes only.

5. When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty edges, which could soil the oven with fat dripping, hang over the sides.

6. The broiler does not need to be preheated. However, for 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 k times per side.

8. If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks

may be broiled by preheating the broil heater and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

prevent staining.

3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame (A), under the front edge of the cooktop, the door liner outside the door gasket and the front edge of the

oven cavity (about 1“ into the oven). Use detergent and hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad,

then rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture.

This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.

Do not let water run down through openings in the top of the door (B). To help prevent water from

getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door as far as it will go.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket (C)—the

fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven

door gasket is essential for energy-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.

After a Clean Cycle

After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the oven. Just wipe

it up with a damp cloth. If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad. Be

sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle maybe repeated.

Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time

of day, can I still self-clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you

will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a specific time.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part

of my self-cleaning oven?

A.QNo cleaners or coatings should be used around any

part of this oven. If you do use them and do not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar

the oven surface and damage metal parts the next

time the oven is automatically cleaned.

, What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil. Press the

CLEAIUOFF pad. Open the windows to rid the

room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear

during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating

and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning? A. Yes, there maybe an odor during the first few

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

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. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?

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 function, 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 color.

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.

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 ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.

Removal of Packaging Tape

The safest way to remove adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances to assure no

damage is done to the finish of the product, is an

application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface. This procedure is also safe for the face of microwave doors and other plastic and Lexan parts.

Surface Units and Drip Pans

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

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

CAUTION

●

Do not immerse the surface units in liquids 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 the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units must be removed first. Make sure the surface units are completely cool before touching them.

Surface Unit

Drip Pan

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan

and pull it out.

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.

NOTE: The plastic tape that is not removed from the chrome trim on oven parts cannot be removed if baked on.

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.

Drip Pans

Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans. The drip pans can be cleaned by hand. Place them in a

covered container (or a plastic bag) with ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a 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.

Clean the area under the drip pans often.

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

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

CAUTION: Be sure all controls are turned to

Inside Gasket Gasket

Outside Gasket

● The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a

scouring pad.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass

material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-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 door 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. Do not let water run down through openings in the top of the 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 surface is cool, clean and rinse.

CARE AND CLEANING

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 of

vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners. A solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.

Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note that the knobs on the left side and the knobs on the right side are in the proper OFF position. When

replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure proper alignment.

To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. If the knob is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a

handkerchief’) or a piece of string under and around the knob edge and pull up.

Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak. To replace the knob, locate the groove in each side

of the knob stem. One of the grooves contains a

spring clip and the other groove is clear. Locate the molded rib inside the knob. Fit the molded rib of the knob into the clear groove on the knob stem.

Metal Parts

Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia or commercial oven cleaners.

To safely clean surfaces; wash, rinse and then dry with a soft cloth.

Glass Surfaces

Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing powders, steel wool or

harsh abrasives on any painted surface.
