● For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

● Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up

a flaming pan. Turn off burner, then smother flaming pan by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. 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.

●

Do not use a wok on models with sealed burners

if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This

acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

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 least possible amount of 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 a deep fat thermometer whenever possible

to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE NEVER LET THE FLAME

EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because

Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

it heats quickly and evenly.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Wok Cooking

(on models with sealed burners)

● We recommend that you

use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail

● Do not use woks that have

support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or

without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current

standards. This could be dangerous to your health, Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

..’

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either

surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and

usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily

they are used with medium heat as the

manufacturer recommends.

Use of Stove Top Grills

(on models with sealed burners) Do not use stove top grills

on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner it will cause

incomplete combustion and can result in exposure

to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

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 book 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

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.

The OVEN SET control has

settings for BAKE, BROIL, TIME

The oven indicator light glows until the oven reaches

your selected temperature, then goes off and on with the oven burner(s) during cooking.

Oven Light

The oven light comes on automatically when the door

is opened. Some models have a switch on the lower control panel that allows you to turn the light on or off when the door is closed.

Page 11

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

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop. See Features section. Do not block these openings when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.

● Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may

● Metal items will become very hot if they are left

on the cooktop and could cause burns.

● 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.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are

designed with stoplocks so when placed correctly on the shelf

supports, they will 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 “stop” position. 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 facing 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

Adjusting the Oven Thermos~t

YOUR

(continued)

When cooking food for the first time in your new oven,

use the 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 check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers can vary by the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change the temperature, set the oven temperature or lower than 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.

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 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 a large cookie sheet or

aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and results in poor baking. A

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause

uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.

A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe

recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier

than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than

recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may

overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size

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.

● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking

in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by

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

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.

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.

The oven has a

low shelf (R)

just above the oven

bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when roasting a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for BAKE or TIME BAKE (you may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly). Roasting is easy; just follow these steps:

1. Position oven shelf

Ill at (B) position for small size roast

to 5

and at (R) position for larger roasts.

2. Check the weight of the roast. Place the

meat fat-side-up or the poultry breast-side-up on the roasting rack in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of meat as possible. (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 or inside the oven door.

Turn OVEN SET

OVEN

knob to BAKE or TIME BAKE and OVEN knob to desired temperature. Check the Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate cooking times.

4. 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. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to

If you wish to compensate for temperature rise, remove the roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5° to

less

than temperature shown in the Roasting Guide.

NOTE:

● You may wish to Time Bake (See Using Your

Oven section of this book) to turn 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.

Frozen

● Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started

without thawing, but allow

to 25 minutes per pound additional time (15 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

● Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure

even doneness. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. FO11

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.

Questions and Answers

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

check with thermometer at

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

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 unnecessary 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 “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.

How to Broil

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

The oven door must be closed during broiling.

1. Oven does not need to be preheated for broiling.

2. If meat has fat or gristle near the edge, cut vertical

slashes through it about 2 inches apart, but don’t cut into meat. We recommend that you trim fat to

prevent excessive smoking, leaving a layer about

1/8 inch thick.

Arrange

pan on the appropriate shelf in the oven. Placing

food closer to flame sears the exterior and increases surface browning of food, but also increases spattering and the possibility of fats and meat juices igniting.

4. Close the oven door but do not latch it. If the door latch is moved to the right during a broil operation, the door may lock and you may not

be able to open it until the oven cools.

5. Turn the OVEN SET knob to BROIL. For most foods, turn the OVEN

food on rack and position the broiler

6. Turn most foods once during cooking (the exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side, place that side down on broiler rack and cook without turning until done). Time food for about one-half the total cooking time, turn food, then continue to cook to preferred doneness.

7. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF. Remove broiler pan from oven and serve food immediately. Leave pan outside the oven to cool.

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.

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. 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. 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. Check to see if you are

the recommended shelf

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

Broiling Tips

The oven door must be closed during broiling.

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

3. If desired. marinate meats or chicken before

broiling. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10

minutes only.

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

5. Oven does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat

if desired.

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.

Step 4: Close and latch the door. Make sure the oven light (C) is off.

Oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make shelves slide more easily.

Caution: Drip pans (on some models), and burner grates, should never be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven. A

combination of any of these products plus the high clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

Important

The oven door must be closed and latched and all controls must be set correctly for the clean cycle to work properly.

Questions and Answers

Why won’t my oven clean immediately even though I set 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 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?

A. This is caused by excessive soil, and you should

switch the OVEN

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.

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.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming 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.

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.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of

time without cookware on the grate. The finish on

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable but it is heavy. You may

need help removing and replacing the door. To remove the door, open it a few inches to the

special “stop” position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the

spring hinge and the oven frame as the spring hinge

could snap back and pinch your fingers. To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the

“out” position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR: (Do not immerse door in water.)

Inside of door:

● Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during

the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.

● 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.

Oven Shelves

Shelves can be cleaned by hand using soap and water or with an abrasive cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the

shelves with clean water and dry. To remove heavy,

burned-on soil, you may use scouring pads. After

scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.

Shelves may also be cleaned in self-cleaning oven, but will discolor and lose some luster. See the SelfCleaning section.

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

Broiler Pan and Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack from the oven. Remove the rack from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease in the pan into a proper container.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose

while the meal is being served. Wash; scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. The broiler

pan and rack may also be cleaned in a dishwasher. Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack anywhere in the range. Do not clean in self-cleaning oven.

Lamp Replacement

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven bulb, disconnect electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the lamp cover and bulb cool completely.

The oven lamp (bulb) is covered with a removable glass cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped wire. Remove oven door, if desired, to reach cover easily.

remove:

1. Hold hand under cover so it doesn’t fall when

released. With fingers of same hand, firmly push back wire bail until it clears cover. Lift off cover. DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS TO REMOVE COVER.

2. Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth. Replace

bulb with a 40-watt household appliance bulb.

To replace cover:

1. Place it into groove of lamp receptacle. Pull wire

bail forward to center of cover until it snaps into place. When in place, wire holds cover firmly. Be certain wire bail is in depression in center of cover.

2. Connect electrical power to the range.

Broil and Bottom Burner Air Adjustment Shutters

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually. See the Installation Instructions and the Problem Solver sections in this book. Air adjustment shutters for the top (broil) and bottom burners regulate the flow of air to the flames.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should burn steady with approximately 1“ blue cones and should not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle.

To determine if the bottom burner flames are

proper, remove the oven bottom and the burner

baffle.

The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner is in the center of the rear wall of the oven. (See Installation Instructions in this book.)

To remove the oven bottom:

1. Remove the knurled screws holding down rear of

oven bottom.

2. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.

3. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the lip of the range frame, then

WARNING

ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See Installing the Anti-Tip Device

in this section.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged when you push the range back against the wall.

● For your safety, never use your range for warming

or heating the room. Your oven and range top are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners

should not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void your warranty.

. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

● Do not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

● Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.
