YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

Be sure you understand how to set the controls properly. Practice removing and replacing the shelves while the oven is cool. Read the information and tips on the following pages. Keep this guide handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

Electric Ignition

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by electric ignition.

To light either burner, turn the OVEN SET knob to

the desired oven operation and the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature. The burner should ignite within 30-90 seconds.

After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles—off completely, then on with a full flame-to keep the oven temperature controlled.

Oven Light

The oven is opened. Some models have a switch on the lower your selected temperature, then goes off and on with control panel that allows you to turn the when the door is closed.

If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be power is restored.

until

Oven Indicator Light

The oven indicator light glows until the oven reaches the oven burner(s) during cooking.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

OVEN SET Control

The OVEN SET control has settings

for BAKE, BROIL, TIME BAKE and CLEAN. When you turn the knob to the desired setting, the proper burner is activated for that operation.

BAKE—Use this setting for all normal oven operations—for example, for cooking roasts or casseroles. Only the bottom oven burner operates during baking.

TIME BAKE—Use this setting to turn the oven on and off at specified times when you want cooking to start and stop. See Automatic Oven Timer section.

BROIL—Use this setting for broiling. Only the top (broil) burner

CLEAN—Use this setting for the self-cleaning function only.

operate.

OVEN TEMP Control

The OVEN TEMP control maintains

the temperature you set for normal oven operation as well as for broiling. Push in and turn to set temperatures or to set into CLEAN position.

OFF—Shuts off power to the oven controls. Oven will not operate. The OVEN TEMP knob should be turned to OFF whenever the oven is not in use.

For normal oven operation, push in and turn the knob to the desired temperature. It will normally take 30-90 seconds before the flame comes on.

After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles—off completely, then on with a full flame-to keep the oven temperature controlled.

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

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out

to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension of the up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

● Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air

from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking, roasting and broiling identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a large turkey—the shelf is not designed to slide out at this position. Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. It is recommended that you operate the oven for a number of weeks to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy Do

on how to adjust the thermostat.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

Close the oven door. Turn the OVEN SET knob to

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting oven at the correct temperature— selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat

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 1 well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a

used is the one recommended.

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.

Don’t Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as “bake 30-40 minutes.”

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

ADJUST

DO IT YOURSELF!

OVEN

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you

use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think

it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter.

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

to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers may vary

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore the oven controls are set for Baking or Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing after being removed from the oven. Recommended standing time for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time. For example: While roasting a 20-lb. turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) may be added on position D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time.

Calculate the total cooking time to enable both dishes to complete cooking at the same time. Allow 15-20 minutes of additional cooking time for the potatoes.

3. Turn the OVEN SET knob to BAKE and the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature. See the Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate cooking times.

4. When roasting is finished, turn the OVEN from the oven.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan. This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

Questions and Answers

(continued)

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a

meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the

completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at hour intervals after half the time has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when

try to

carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to

20 minutes 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 not necessary to preheat your oven. 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

when

roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil

steam the meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during

broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

The oven door should be closed during broiling.

Turn the food only once

during cooking. Time the foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide.

Turn the food, then use the times given for the second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around 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 fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch fire.

3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf

position as suggested in Broiling Guide.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However, you must 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

5. Turn the OVEN SET knob and the OVEN knob to BROIL.

6. When broiling is finished, turn OVEN

to OFF. Remove the broiler pan from the range and

serve food immediately. Leave the pan outside the

range to cool.

Questions and 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. A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.

I salt the meat before broiling?

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

A. Check to see if you are using the recommended

shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.

The oven door must be closed during broiling.

● Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes with

your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

● For steaks and chops, slash the fat evenly around the

outside edges of the meat. 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 the juices.

On these areas use detergent and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket.

Clean the top, sides and outside front of the oven door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

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.

Close the door and make sure the oven light is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the-life of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately.

CAUTION: The grates and drip pans (on some models) should never be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why won’t my oven clean immediately even

though I set all the time and clean dials 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 the latch handle is moved to the right.

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

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

A. No.

Your Automatic Oven Timer uses the range

clock to help start and stop your self-cleaning cycle.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part

of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No 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 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. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

This is caused by excessive soil, and you should

turn the OVEN windows to rid the 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” or “popping” sound I hear

during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the metal heating and cooling during

both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

A. Yes, there will be a slight odor during the first few

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

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enamel

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.

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

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, the oven shelves will lose

their luster and become hard to slide. To make the shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-cleaning cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes.

Burner Grates

Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot,

soapy water and rinse with clean water. After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

To prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.

Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of the dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of

acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc. ) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if

allowed to set. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For

other spills such as fat smatterings, etc., wash with

soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

and to prevent it from becoming

CLEANING

Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can

give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.

the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.

To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom

from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet

on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You

can use aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole

shelf. This is particularly important when baking a

fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content.

Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic

(such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with

vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage

to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped

up immediately.

To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an

abrasive cleaner or scouring pad. Rinse well to

remove any soap before self-cleaning.

Connect THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until

new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of an A. G.A.-certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection. Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection is made.
