of flooring, use care, and it is

Leveling the Range

Use a 1 M“ open-end or adjustable wrench to equally back out the four legs. The flanges (rims) below the sides of the cooktop 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.

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.

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 Super Burner

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 burner. This burner can provide burners. The two knobs on the right, nearest to the control panel, control the right front and right rear burners.

On some models, the right front burner is cone-shaped with a circular opening through the center of the

than any one of the other three. Use it for canning or large pans.

To Light a Surface Burner

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

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

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 pot holder, cleaning cloths or other

materials on them.

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.

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 is usually combined with copper,

aluminum or other metals for

improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the

manufacturer recommends.

Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while

the

oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends

the

kind

of food and the browning desired. .4s a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either the second or third shelf from the bottom. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing temperature before putting in the food. To preheat, set the 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 10 minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

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.

● Tin and stainless steel may not heat evenly.

● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking

in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by

25°F.

and use the recommended cooking time in

the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies

or casseroles.

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 as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not

directly above the other.

k inch space between pans as well

Page 19

Baking Guides

Follow the recipe or the directions on the back of the box to get the best baking results.

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

Pies

For best results, do not bake pies in a shiny metal pan. The heat is reflected and the bottom crust will be pale and underdone. 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 cover a shelf entirely with a large cookie sheet or aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet

of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it

on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Don’t Peek

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

recommended 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.

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

ROASTING

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.

Step 1: Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating is necessary.

Step 2: Check weight of meat, and place, fat side

or poultry

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.) Line 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.

Step 4: Press INCREASE or DECREASE pad. The oven set

temperature appears in the display. Continue pressing pad until the desired temperature is displayed.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, the oven control is set for BAKE.

(You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Roasting is easy; just follow these steps:

When the oven starts to heat, the word “ON” and the changing temperature, starting at 100”F., will be displayed. When the oven reaches the set temperature a tone will sound.

To change oven temperature during roasting, press the BAKE pad and then INCREASE or DECREASE pad to get new temperature.

Step 5: Press the CLEAIUOFF pad when roasting is finished and then

CLEAR remove foodfrom oven.

OFF

Step 6: 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 10”F.; to compensate for temperature

increase, if desired, remove the roast from oven

sooner (at 5° to 10”F. less than temperature in the

Roasting Guide).

NOTE: You may wish to Time Bake, as described in

the Baking 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.

For Frozen Roasts

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

without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (10 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. Follow directions given on package label.

Page 21

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 the Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 Ibs. check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking 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 rarely necessary to preheat your oven. Preheat

only for very small roasts, which cook a short length of time.

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.

BROILING

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper unit in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

The oven door should be closed during broiling.

Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If desired, fat maybe trimmed, leaving layer about

1/8 inch thick.

Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack in broiler pan.

Always use rack so fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise juices may become hot enough to catch fire.

Step 3: Position shelf on recommended shelf position as suggested in Broiling Guide.

Step 4: Close the oven door. Step 5: Press BROIL pad.

Step 6: Select LO Broil

INCREASE pad once. Select HI Broil tapping INCREASE pad twice.

To change from HI Broil to LO Broil, press the

BROIL pad then tap DECREASE pad once. Step 7: Turn food only

once during cooking. Time foods for first side per Broiling Guide.

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

<Where

and times are given together, use first times given for thinnest food.)

Step 8: When broiling is completed press the

CLEAWOFF pad. Serve food immediately, and

leave pan outside oven to cool during meal for easiest cleaning.

two thicknesses

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 using

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

(continued next page)

Page 23

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. Broiling should always be done with the oven door closed.

3. For steaks and chops,

slasb

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.

4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

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

6. Broiler does not need to be preheated. However,

for very thin foods, or to increase browning,

preheat if desired.

7. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1

times per side.

Questions and Answers

(continued)

Q. If my oven clock is not working, can I still

self-clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not working then the entire control is

not working. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a specific time.

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 afterwards, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil. Press the

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning? A. Yes, there maybe a slight odor during the first few

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might

also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

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

surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after

cleaning?

A. 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

A. After many cleanings, oven shelves may become

so clean they do not slide easily. To make shelves slide more easily, after each self-cleaning function dampen fingers with a small amount of cooking oil and rub lightly over sides of shelf where they contact shelf supports.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-clean cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves may

lose some luster and change to a deep gray color.

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to

help assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.

Control Panel and Knobs

Clean up any spills or spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.

Clean control panel with mild liquid dish detergent and a soft cloth. Rub control panel lightly. Do not wipe when oven is in use. CAUTION: Do not use

abrasives of any kind on the control panel. The

lettering on models with touch pads is sensitive to abrasives and pressure.

The control knobs may be removed for easier

cleaning. To remove knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak. Dry and return knobs to range.

CARE AND CLEANING

Range Top Burners

The holes in the burners must be kept clean at

all

times for proper ignition and an even,

unhampered flame. You should clean the burners routinely, especially

after bad spillovers which

removed at installation. NOTE: A screw holds each of the burners in place to

clog these holes.

(continued)

To remove burners:

1. Grasp burner head and tilt it to the right to release

the two tabs from slots in the burner support.

2. Lift the end of the burner assembly, then pull away from the front of the range to free the air shutter from the gas valve orifice.

To remove burned-on food, soak the burners in a solution of mild liquid detergent and water. Soak the burners for

to 30 minutes. If the food doesn’t rinse off completely, scrub them with soap and water and a brush or plastic pad. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleansers because they will clog the burner openings and scratch the burners. If the holes become clogged, clean them with a small sewing needle or a small safety pin.

Do not attempt to clean burners in an automatic dishwasher. Loosened food soil can clog burner holes, and the strong action of the dishwasher detergent can damage the burner heads. Do not clean in self-cleaning oven.

Before putting the burners back, shake out excess water and dry them thoroughly by setting them in a warm oven for

minutes.

2. Lower the burner assembly and hook the tabs in the slots in the burner support.

3. Be sure both tabs are in their slots, that the burner sits level and straight, and that the flash tube forms a straight line from the igniter to the burner.

Burner Grates

Porcelain enamel

burner grates

should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth—don’t put them back on the range wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4

cup ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well, and dry.

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.

time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the

grate may chip without

Drip Pans

Remove the grates. Then lift out the chrome drip pans. Wash them in hot, soapy water. Rinse them with clean, hot water and polish them dry with a cloth. Never use abrasive cleansers or steel wool—they’ll scratch the surface. Instead, soak the drip pans for about 20 minutes in slightly diluted liquid cleanser or mild solution of ammonia and water (1/2 cup of ammonia to one gallon of water). After soaking, wash them in hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water and polish with a clean, soft cloth.

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 CLEAN THE DOOR: Inside of door: Clean ONLY the door liner outside

the gasket with soap and water. The door is automatically cleaned if the oven is in the self-cleaning cycle. Do not rub or damage the gasket. Avoid getting soap and water on the gasket or in any openings on the door. Rinse well. NOTE: Soap left on liner causes additional stains when the oven is reheated.

Do not attempt to clean the drip pans in the self-cleaning oven.

When replacing drip pans, the notch on the rear pan and the notch on the front pan should meet in the middle.

Outside of door: Use soap and water to thoroughly

clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water run down through openings in the top of the door. Rinse well.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Take care not to touch hot portion of the oven. When

surface is cool, clean and rinse.

Do not use oven cleanser, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives.

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. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them

back out.

Oven Light Bulb

The light bulb is located in the upper right corner of the oven. Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to the range

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack from

the oven. Carefully pour out grease in the pan into a

proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and rack in hot, soapy water.

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. Scrub with a

soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack in the oven,

Do not clean in self-cleaning oven. The broiler pan

and rack may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Oven Shelves

You may clean the shelves with a mild abrasive

cleanser following manufacturer’s directions. After

cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry

with a dry cloth.

To remove heavy, burned-on soil, you may use soapy

metal pads, following manufacturer’s directions. After

scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry. Oven shelves may be cleaned in 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. The oven shelves may also be cleaned in the

dishwasher.

When replacing the range:

1. Hook the loose end of the chain onto the bracket by

slipping the nearest link of the chain into the slot in the bracket, making sure the chain is pulled as tight as possible and that there is no excess slack in the chain after it is attached to the bracket. Excess slack in the chain could allow the range to tip over.

2. Slide the range all the way back into the counter. Once the range is pushed back in place, there will be a small amount of slack in the chain. This is normal.
