INSTRUCTIONS

the Range

Your range, like so many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving

the range on this type of flooring, use care, and it is recommended that these simple and inexpensive instructions be followed.

The range should be installed on a

l/4-inch-thick sheet of plywood

(or similar material) as follows:

When the floor covering ends at

the front of the range, the area

that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the

same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or

servicing.

Leveling the Range

Use a 1%” open-end or adjustable wrench to equally back out the four legs. The flanges (rims) below the sides of the maintop must be raised above the top of the countertop. Carefully slide the range into its installation space. Observe that it is clearing the countertop. Then place a spirit level or a glass measuring cup partially filled with water on one of the oven shelves to check for levelness. If using a spirit level, take two readings, with the level placed diagonally first in one

direction and then the other.

Adjust the four legs carefully. Level the range front to back and

side to side. The range legs must rest on the floor. The range must

not hang from the countertop.

Surface Cooking

Electric Ignition

Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position.

Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

Surface Burner Controls

Knobs that turn the surface burners

on and off are marked as to which burners they control. The two knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners. The two knobs on the right, nearest to the electronic panel, control the right front and right rear burners.

Super Burner

Some models have a cone-shaped cooktop burner, with a circular opening through the center of the burner. The right front burner is the Super Burner. This burner can provide 30% more power than the other three. Use it for cooking large amounts of food in a big pan, canning, etc.

To Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to LITE. You will hear a little clicking the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.

After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

noise—

After Lighting a Burner

● Check to be sure the burner

you turned on is the one you want to use.

● Do not operate a burner for an

extended period 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 before you place your hand, a potholder, cleaning cloths or other

materiaIs

on them.

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.

When using aluminum or aluminum-clad stainless steel pots and pans, adjust the flame so

the circle it makes is about 1/2 inch smaller than the bottom of the cookware.

When boiling, use this same flame

size—1/2 inch smaller than the bottom of the cookware—no matter what the cookware is made of. Foods cook just as quickly at a gentle boil as they do at a furious rolling boil. A high boil cooks away moisture, flavor and nutrition. Avoid it except for the few cooking processes which need a vigorous boil.

When frying or warming foods in stainless steel, cast iron or enamelware, keep the flame down lower—to about 1/2 the diameter of the cookware.

When frying in glass or ceramic cookware, lower the flame even more.

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear of the range (see page 6).

Do not block these ducts when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler they may become hot.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

Position the shelf or shelves in the oven. If cooking on two shelves at the same time, place shelves on alternate shelf supports and stagger food on them.

2. Close oven door.

3. Push the BAKE button and turn the SET knob until desired temperature is displayed. If preheating is desired, do not put food in the oven until a one-second beep sounds to tell you the oven is preheated.

4. Open the door and place food in oven on center of shelf. AI1ow at least 2 inches between the edge of the bakeware and oven wall or adjacent cookware.

5. Close oven door.

6. Check food for doneness at minimum time shown on recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Push CANCEL button and remove food.

Shelf Positions

Most baking is done on the second shelf position (B) from the bottom.

When baking three or four items, use two shelves positioned on the second and fourth sets of supports (B &D) from bottom of oven.

Bake angel food cakes on first shelf position (A) from bottom of oven.

Baking Tips

● Follow a tested recipe and

measure the ingredients carefully. If you are using a package mix, follow label directions.

● As your ovenheats 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.

● Do not open the oven door during

a baking operation—heat will be lost and the baking time might need to be extended. This could cause poor baking results. If you must open the door, open it partially-only 3 or 4 inches—and close it as quickly as possible.

Common Baking Problems and Possible Solutions

PIES Burning around edges

● Edges of crust too thin.

● Incorrect baking temperature.

Bottom crust soggy and unbaked

● Allow crust and/or filling to cool

sufficiently before filling pie shell.

● Filling may be too thin or juicy.

● Filling allowed to stand in pie

shell before baking. (Fill pie shells and bake immediately.)

● Ingredients and proper measuring

affect the quality of the crust. Use a tested recipe and good technique. Make sure there are no tiny holes or tears in a bottom crust. “Patching” a pie crust could cause soaking.

Pie filling runs over

● Top and bottom crust not well

sealed together.

● Edges of pie crust not built up

high enough.

● Too much filling.

● Check size of pie plate.

Pastry is tough; crust not flaky

● Too much handling.

. Fat too soft or cut in too fine. Roll dough lightly and handle as little as possible.

CAKES

Cake rises higher on one side

● Batter spread unevenly in pan.

● Oven shelves not level.

● Using warped pans.

Cakes cracking on top

● Oven temperature too high.

● Batter too thick, follow recipe or

exact package directions.

● Check for proper shelf position.

●

Check pan size called for in recipe.

● Improper mixing of cake.

Cake falls

● Too much shortening, sugar

or liquid.

“

Check leavening agent, baking

powder or baking soda to assure

freshness. Make a habit to note expiration dates of packaged

ingredients.

● Cake baked at incorrect

Baking Guide

1. Preheating is very important when using temperatures below

225T.

and when baking foods such as biscuits, cookies, pastries.

After pushing the BAKE

cak&

and other

button and turning the SET knob to the desired temperature, be sure to wait for the one-second beep before putting food into the oven.

Preheating is not necessary when roasting or for long-time cooking of whole meals.

2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most conventional baking, light, shiny best results because they help prevent overbrowning. For best browning results, we recommend dull

bott~m surfaces for cake pans

and pie plates.

Roasting

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should below and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. When roasting, it is not necessary to sear, baste, cover or add water to your meat. Roasting is easy, just follow these steps:

Step 1:

Position oven shelf at second from bottom position (B) for small size roast (3 to 5

lbs.) and

at bottom position (A) for larger roasts.

Step 2:

Check weight of roast.

Place meat fat-side-up or poultry

breast-side-up on roasting rack in a

shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible.

(Broiler pan with rack is a good

pan for this.)

Step

Push BAKE

tu&

SET knob until desired

button and

temperature is displayed. Check the

Roasting Guide for temperatures and

approximate cooking times.

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

100F.; to

compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove roast from oven when internal temperature is 5° to 10”F. less than temperature shown on Roasting Guide.

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes

additional time per pound (15 minutes additional time 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. Follow directions given on packer’s label.

Broiling

- Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Your range is designed for waist-high broiling. A specially designed broiler pan and rack allows dripping

fat to drain away from the foods and be kept away from the high heat of the gas flame.

The oven door should be closed

during broiling.

How to Broil

Ifmeathasfat

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.

2. Arrange food onrackand position the broiler pan on the

appropriate shelf in the oven. Placing food closer to flame

increases exterior browning of food, but also increases spattering and the possibility of fats and meat juices

igniting.

3. Close theovendoor.

4. Press the BROIL button and turn

the SET knob until your choice

of HI BROIL or LO BROIL is

displayed. Note: Chicken and ham

are broiled at LO BROIL in order to

cook food through without

over-browning it.

5. Turn most foods once during

cooking (the exception is thin fillets

of fish; oil one side, place that side

down onbroilerrackand cookwithout

turning until done). Time foods for

about one-half the total cooking

time, turn food, then continue to

cook to preferred doneness.

6. Push CANCEL button. Remove broiler pan from oven and serve food immediately. Leave pan outside the oven to cool.

(on model so equipped)

There are a number of precautions you can take to avoid marring the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and prevent it from becoming dull. Don’t slide heavy pans across it. If you spill foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content, clean them up as soon as possible. If allowed to set, these foods cause a dull spot. Also, no matter how stubborn the food stain, never use harsh, abrasive cleansers. They could permanently damage the enamel surface. We recommend a cleanser, such as “Soft brand cleanser, or a similar cleaning product.

Setting the Controls

The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle.

Step 1:

Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven. (Oven shelves may be left in oven. Note: Shelves will discolor during

the self-clean cycle.)

Step

●

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). No matter how stubborn the food stain, never use harsh abrasive cleaners. They could permanently damage the enamel surface. We recommend a cleanser such as brand or a similar cleaning product to keep white surfaces looking clean and new. After cleaning, 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).

● Clean the door gasket (C) using a

clean sponge to soak the soiled area with hydrogen peroxide. Repeated

soaking may be needed, depending on the amount of soil. Frequent cleaning will prevent excessive soil buildup. Do not rub the door gasket–the fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low

resistance to abrasion. An intact

Step 3:

Close the oven door and make sure the oven light is off.

Chrome drip pans from the top of your range should never be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.

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.

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 temperature may darnage the porcelain finish of the oven.
