AutomaticIgnition
Yoursurfaceburners are lighted
byelectric ignition,eliminatingthe need for standingpilotlightswith constantlyburningflames.
In case ofa power outage, youcan lightthe surfaceburners on your rangewith a match. Hold a lighted
matchtothe burner, then tur~ the
knobto the LITE position. CJse extreme caution when lighting burnem this way.
Surfaceburners in use when an electricalpower failure occurs wi. continueto operate normally.
surface Burner Controk
Knobsthatturn the surfaceburners
on and off are located on thelower controlpanei and are marked as to which burners theycontrol.
To Light a surface Burner
Push the control knob in and turn
it to LITE. Youwill hear a little clicking noise—thesound ofthe electric spark igniting the burner.
I
NorRnalb~~rneroperation:
Whena burneris first turned on, youmayhear a blowingor hissing
soundfor 30 to45 secondsor until theburner heatsup. This normal soundis due to improved injection
ofgasandair intotheburner. Put a Panon theburner beforelightingit,
.
or adjusttheflame to match pan­sizeas soonas it lights,and the blowingor hissingsound will be
muchlessnoticeable.

burner when the burner is first turned on. A blowing or hissing sound may be heard.
Flame willstabilize and curve upwar~ after a burner heatsup or 30 to 45 seconds after it is turned on. The biowing or hissing sound
will stop. After lighting a burner: @Check to be sure the burner you
turned on is the one youwantto use.
Lifting
The flame sizeon a gas burner shouldmatch thecookwareyou are using.
NEVER LET THE FLAME
EXTEND UP THE SIDESOF THE COONARE. Anyflamelargerthan thebottom of the cookwareis wasted andordyservesto heatthehandles.
When using aluminum or aluminum-clad stiinless steel poti and pans, adjust the flame so the circle it makes is about 1/2inch smallerthan the bottomofthe cookware.
Whenboiling9usethis same flame size—1/2inch smaller than the bottomofthe coolcware—nomatter whatthecookwareis made of. Foods cookjust as quickly at a gentle boil
as theydo at a furious rollingboil. A high boil creates steam and cooks awaymoisture, flavorand nutrition. Avoiditexcept for the few cooking
processeswhichned a vigorousboil.
When frying or warming foods in sminless stee19cast iron or
ename~ware, keep the flame down lower—toabout 1/2the diameter of the pan.
When frying in gIass or ceramic
eoohme, lowerthe flameevenmore.
After theburner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
~Do notoperate a burner for an extendedperiod of time without cookware on the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
~Be sure the burners and grates are cool beforeyou place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

CareandCleaning
Proper care and cleaningare importantsoyourrangewil~give youefficientand satisfactory service. Followthesedirections carefilly in caring for ittohelp
assuresafe and propermaintenance.
Beforecleaningany part of your range (exceptfor operatingthe self­cleaningcycle), DISCOmCT
ELECTNC POWER To THE RANGE at the fuse box or circuit breaker panel, or pull therange
powercord plug f~omtheele~tric
outlet.
When the range is cool, wash the enamel finish with mild soap and
water or amild abrasive cleanser appliedwith a damp cloth. Rinse the surface with clean waterand
dry with a softcloth. If you wish, occasionallyapply a thin coat of mild cleaning waxto help protect
the finish. There are a number ofprecautions
youcan taketo avoidmarring the surface ofthe range and to prevent it from becoming dull. Don’tslide
heavypans across it. If you spill
foodswith a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruitjuices, etc.) or foodswith high sugar content, clean them up as soon as possible.
If allowed to remain, these foods could cause a dull spot. Also, no matter how stubborn the food stain,
never use harsh abrasive cleansers. They could permanently damage
the enamel surface.

BurnerGrates
Gratesshouldbe washed regularly
and, ofcourse, after spillovers. Washthem in hot, soapywater and rinse with clean water. Dry the grateswith a clot~—don’tput them back on the rangewet.
Toget rid of burned-on food, soak the gratesin a slightlydiluted liquid cleanser.
Althoughthey’redurable, tl~e grates will gradually lose their
shine, regardless of the best care youcan give them. This isdue to their continual exposure to high temperatures,
Do notoperate a burner for an extendedperiod of time without cookware-onthe grate. The fi~~ish on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat. When replacing a
pair of grates, the irregular sides should interlock in the middle as shown at right. +

Do not attempt to clean burners in an automatic dishwasher. Loosened food soil can clog burner holes, and the caustic action ofthe
dishwasher detergent can damage the burner heads.
Beforeputting the burner back, dry
itthoroughly by setting itin a warm ovenfor 30 minutes. Then place it back in the range, making sure it is properly seated on the mounting ~racketand is level.

Toremoveburned-on food, soak the burner in a solution ofa product

soap and water or a mild abrasive
cleanser and a damp cloth.

Removethe gratesand lift out the chrome drip pans. Washthem in hot, soapywater. Rinsethem with clean, hot water andpolish them dry with a cloth. Neveruse abrasive

in hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean waterand polish with a clean,
SOficloth.
Do not attempt to clean the drip pans in the self-cleaningoven.

Thetemperaturecontrolinyour
newovenhasbeen carefi~y adjusted toprovideaccurate temperatures. However,if thisovenhasreplaced oneyouhaveused for severalyears,
youmay noticea differencein the degreeofbrowningor the length of
timerequiredwhen usingyour favoriterecipes. Oventemperature controlshavea tendencyto “drift” overa period ofyears and since
thisdrift is very gradual, it is not
readilynoticed. Therefore, you mayhavebecome accustomedto yourpreviousoven which may
haveprovideda higher or lower temperaturethan you selected.
Beforeattemptingto havethe temperatureofyournew oven
changed,be sure youhavefollowed the bakingtime and temperature of the recipe carefuliy.Then, afier
youhaveused the ovena fewtimes and youfeel the ovenis too hot or toocool, there is a simple
adjustmentyou can make yourself
on the OVEN TEMP knob.
Pull the knob off the control shafi and look at the back side. There is a disc in thecenter of the knob skirt
with a series of marks opposite a
pointer.
Notetowhich mark the pointeris
pointing.Tomakean adjustment, carefullyloosen (approximately oneturn), but do notcompletely removethe twoscrewsthatholdthe skirttothe knob. Holdthe knob

Toraise the oventemperature,

Wesuggest that you make the adjustmentone mark fromthe originalsettingand check oven performancebeforemakingany additionaladjustments.
After the adjustmentis made, press skirt and knobtogetherand retightenscrewssothey are snug,
but be carefil notto overtighten.
Re-installknob on range and
check performance.
Note: After an adjustmenthas been made, the OFF and BROIL positionswill notline up with
the indicator mark on the control panel as they previouslydid. This conditionis normal and will not create a problem.
