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

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.

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
temperature or not baked long
enough.
● If adding oil to a cake mix,
make certain the oil is the type and
amount specified.
Crust is hard
● Check temperature.
● Check shelf position.
Cake has soggy layer or streaks
at bottom
●
Undermining ingredients.
● Shortening too soft for proper
creaming.
● Too much liquid.
COOKIES & BISCUITS
Doughy center; heavy crust
on surface
● Check temperature.
● Check shelf position.
● Follow baking instructions
carefully as given in reliable recipe
or on convenience food package.
● Flat cookie sheets will give more
even baking results. Don’t
overcrowd foods on a baking sheet.
● Convenience foods used beyond
their expiration date.
Browning more noticeable on
one side
● Oven door not closed properly,
check gasket seal.
● Check shelf position.

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
3:
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
1.
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.

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

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.
Important
The oven door must be closed
and all controls must be set

1.
When a clean cycle is finished,
the word “CLEAN” will be off in
the display.
2. Wait until the oven has cooled
below locking temperature (about
20-30 minutes) and the word
“LOCK” is off in the display.
You will not be able to open the
door unless the oven temperature
is at a safe level. If you cannot open
the oven door immediately after the
word “LOCK” goes off, wait about

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, repeat the cycle.
