injury.
● CAUTION:DO NOT STORE
ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDRENIN CABINETS
ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASHOF A RANGE—
CHILDRENCLIMBINGON THE
RANGE TO REACH ITEMS
COULD BE SERIOUSLY
INJURED.
● Wear proper clothing. Loose
fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while
using the appliance.Flammable
material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot heat-
ing elements and may cause
severe burns.
● Use only dry potholders—
moist or damp potholderson
hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
● Never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
● Storage in or on Appliance—
Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven or near surface units.
o Keep hood and grease filters
clean to maintain good venting
and to avoid grease fires.
● Do not let cooking grease or
other flammable materials accumulate in the range or near it.
● Do not use water on grease
fires. Never pick up a flaming
pan. Smother flaming pan on

MicrowaveOven:
● Read and follow the specific
“PRECAUTIONSTO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
e
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found on page 2.
0 To reduce the risk of fire in
the oven cavity:
—Do not overcook food. Care-
fully attend applianceif paper,
plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
—Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven.
—Do not use your microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Paper towels and napkins,
wax paper. Recycled paper
products can contain metal
flecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper productscontaining nylon or nylon filaments
should be avoided, as they may
also ignite.
—Do not pop popcorn in your
4
‘t: ,~inicrowave oven unless in a
T
special microwavepopcorn
accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—Do not operate the oven while
empty to avoid damage to the
oven and the danger of fire. If by
accident the oven should run
empty a minute or two, no harm
is done. However, try to avoid
operating the oven empty at all
times—it saves energy and pro-
longs life of the oven.
—If materials inside the oven
should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
e Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed containers—forexample, closed
glass jars—may explode and
hould not be heated in this
4:
w
oven.
e See door surface cleaning
instructionson page 40.
● Don’t defrost frozen bever-
ages in narrow necked bottles;
especially carbonatedones.
Even if the containeris opened,
pressure can build up. This can
cause the containerto burst,
resulting in injury.
.Use metal only as directed in
Cookbook. Metal strips as used
on meat, roasts are helpful when
used as shown in Cookbook.
TV dinners may be cooked in
metal trays but when using shelf
they must be replaced in their
box. However, when using metal
in microwave oven, keep metal
(except for DOUBLE DUTYTM
shelf) at least l-inch away from
sides of oven.
● Cooking utensils may
become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated
food. This is especially true if
plastic wrap has been covering
the top and handles of the
utensil. Potholdersmay be
needed to handle the utensil.
Sometimes,the oven floor
o
can become too hot to touch.
Be careful touchingthe floor
during and after cooking.
e Do not use any
thermometer
in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometeris
designed or recommendedfor
use in the microwaveoven.
o Remove the temperature
probe from the oven when not
using it to cook with. If you leave
the probe inside the oven without
inserting it in food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damage oven walls.
● Boiling eggs (in and out of
shell) is not recommended for
microwave cooking.Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.
o Foods with unbroken outer“skin” such as potatoes, hot
dogs or sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and eggs (see above)
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
5
● Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their
lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
● Plastic Utensils—Plastic
utensils designed for microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully.Even
microwaveplastic may not be as
tolerant of overcookingconditions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or
char if subjectedto short periods
of overcooking.In longer expo-
sures to overcooking,the food
and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics only “and use
them” in strict compliancewith
the utensil manufacturer’s
recommendations.2) Do not
subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children
to use plastic utensils without
complete supervision.
● “Boilable” cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in Cookbook.If they
are not, plastic could burst during or immediatelyafter cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containersshould
be at least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands
and face.
.Use of the DOUBLE DUTY’M
shelf accessory. (See you r Cookbook for proper use.)
—Remove the shelf from oven.. .
when not in use.
—Do not store or cook
shelf on floorof oven.Product
damagemay result.
with
—Use potholderswhen handling
the shelf and utensils. They may
be hot.
—Do not use microwave
browning dish on shelf. The
shelf could overheat. Use of
shelf with AutomaticCooking
feature is not recommended.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Oven:
.Stand away from the range
when opening oven door. The
hot air or steam which escapes
can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
.Don’t heat unopened food
containers in the oven. Pressure
could build up and the container
could burst causing an injury.
.Keep oven vent ducts
unobstructed.
● Keep oven free from grease
build up.
.Place oven rack in desired
position while oven is cool. If
racks must be handled when
hot, do not let potholdercontact
heating units in the oven.
● Pulling out shelf to the shelf
stop is a conveniencein lifting
heavy foods. It is also a precau-
tion against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven
walls.
.When using cooking or roast-
ing bags in oven, follow the
manufacturer’sdirections.
.Do not use your oven to dry
newspapers.If overheated, they
can catch fire.
Self-CleaningOven:
.Do not clean door gasket.‘
The door gasket is essential for
a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
.Do not use oven cleaners.
No commercialoven cleaner or
oven liner protectivecoating of
any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
.Clean only parts listed in this
Use and Care Book.
● Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan and other
utensils.
Surface CookingUnits:
.Use Proper Pan Size—This
appliance is equipped with one
or more surface unit$ of different
size. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils
will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing.Proper relationshipof
utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
● Never leave surface units
unattended at high heat settings.
Boiiover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire.
.Be sure drip pans and vent
ducts are not covered and are in
place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range
parts and wiring.
● Don’t use aluminum foil to
line drip pans
the oven except as described in
this book. Misuse could result
in a shock, fire hazard, or
damage to the range.
● Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic,ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed containers
are suitable for range-topservice; others may break because
of the sudden change in temperature (See Section on “Surface Cooking”for suggestions.)
● TO minimizeburns, ignition of
flammablematerials, and spillage; the handle of a container
should be positionedso that it is
turned toward the center of the
range without extendingover
nearby surface units.
● Don’t immerse or soak
removable surface units. Don’t
put them in a dishwasher.
or anywhere in
.Always turn surface unit to
OFF before removing utensil.
.Keep an eye on foods being
fried at HIGH or MEDIUM HIGH
heats.
● To avoid the possibility of a
or electric shock, always
burn
be certain that the controls for
all surface units are at OFF position and all coils are cool before
attempting to remove the unit.
● When flaming foods under
the hood, turn the fan off. The
fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
.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 little fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying. Fill-
ing the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is
added.
.If a combinationof 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 deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent
over-heatingfat beyond the
smoking point.

InstallingYour
Range
a
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle
into soft floor coverings such as
cushionedvinyl or carpeting.When
movingthe range on this type of
flooring,use care, and it is recommendedthat these simple and
inexpensiveinstructionsbe
followed.
The range shouldbe installedon a
sheet of plywood(or similar material) as follows:When the floor cov-
ering is terminatedat the front of
the range, the area that the range
will rest on shouldbe built up with
plywoodto the same level or higher
than the floor covering.This will
then allow the range to be moved
for cleaningor servicing.
Levelingthe
Range
Levelingscrews are located on
each corner of the base of the
‘ range. By removingthe bottom
c
drawer you can level the range to
an uneven floor with the use of a
nutdriver.
To remove drawer,pull drawer out
all the way, tilt up the front and remove it. To replace, insert glides at
back of drawer beyond stop on
range glides. Lift drawer if necessary to insert easily. Let front of
drawer down, then push in to close.
Energy Saving Tips
MicrowaveCooking
● Use proper power level as
recommendedand DO NOT
OVERCOOK.
● Do not operatethe oven while
empty. If by accidentthe oven
should run empty a minuteor two,
no harm is done. However,try to
avoid operatingthe oven empty at
all times—savesenergy and also
ensures good long term life of oven.
Surface Cooking
o Use cookingutensils of medium
weight aluminum,tight-fitting
covers, and flat bottomswhich
completelycover the heated portion
of the surface unit.
.Cook fresh vegetableswith
a minimumamountof water in a
covered pan.
● Watch foods when bringing
them quicklyto cookingtemperatures at HIGH heat. When food
reaches cookingtemperature,
reduce heat immediatelyto lowest
setting that will keep it cooking.
● Use residualheat with surface
cookingwheneverpossible.For
example,when cookingeggs in the
shell bring water to boil, then turn
to OFF positionto completethe
cooking.
o Always turn surfaceunit OFF
before removingutensil.
.Use correctheat for cooking
task . . . high heats to start cooking
(if time allows, do not use HIGH
heat to start), mediumhigh—quick
brownings,medium—slowfrying,
low—finishcookingmost quantities, simmer—doubleboiler heat,
finish cooking,and special for
small quantities.
e When boilingwater for tea
or coffee, heat only the amount
needed. It is not economicalto boil
a containerfull of water for only
one or two cups.
Conventional
Oven Cooking
● Preheat the oven only when
necessary.Most foods will cook
satisfactorilywithoutpreheating.If
you find preheatingis necessary,
keep an eye on the indicatorlight,
and put food in the oven promptly
after the light goes out.
● Always turn oven OFF before
removingfood.
● Duringbaking,avoid frequent
door openings.Keep door open as
short a time as possiblewhen it is
opened.
● For self-cleaningoven, be sure
to wipe up excess spillagebefore
self-cleaningoperation.
● Cook completeoven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes,other vegetables,and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dishcasserole,meat
loaf, chickenor roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same temperaturein approximatelythe same
time.
● Use residualheat in oven when-
ever possibleto finish cookingcasseroles, oven meals, etc. Also add
rolls or precookeddessertsto warm
oven, using residualheat to warm
them.

UnderstandingAutomatic
Cooking Codes &
Preference Control
Automaticcookingcodes 1 through
9 are designedto give you easy
automaticresults with a number
of foods.
Codes are arrangedin lowest to
highest amountof power. For
example,Code 1 gives least microwave cookingpower, Code 2 gives
more power than Code 1, Code 3
increasespower over Code 2 and
so on.
Code 1, which has the least power,
is used for quick reheatingjobs
while the longer cookingfoods like
stew or chili use higher codes. A
CookingChart and recipes, starting
on page 13 give many tested uses
for automaticcookingcodes.
The Preference Control
Anotherfeature to give you flexi-
bility in AutomaticCookingis the
preferencecontrol,which can be
used to “fine tune” the power of
Codes 2 through9. By simply
adding a 1 after a Code, you can set
the oven to cook using 20°/0 less
time than the code wouldregularly
deliver. For example,if Code 4
cooks your vegetablesmore done
than you like them, set Code 41
next time and you will get 20°/0 less
cookingtime.
Likewise,if you wish slightlymore
time than a code delivers,add a 9
after the Code. For the vegetables
in the exampleabove, Code 49
would provide 20°/0 more time for
cookingthan would the regular
Code 4.
Touch AUTO COOK Pad. “Enter
Code” flashes on display.
Touch numberpads 4 and 1 in that
order. Code 4 shows and “Start”
flashes on display.

AutomaticCooking Questions and Answers
Q. Why does my oven automatically
cut off after the
Auto Cook Control Code 1
using
when it does not for other settings?
A. When using Code 1, there is no
secondphase of minutes counting
down. All the cookingis completed
in the first phase or AUTO.
Q. If the food is not completely
cooked after using the suggested
Code, what should I do?
A. Differencesin recipes may result
in differentcookingtimes. Use
Time Cook and Power Level 10 for
a few minutesuntil completionor
re-cover and use Auto Cook Code 1
if more time is needed.
Do all fresh or frozen vegetables
Q.
require a standing period after
cooking with Auto Cook?
A. Most vegetablesare cooked to a
crisp state during Auto Cook, just
as in regularmicrowaving.Therefore, it is recommendedthat you let
the vegetablesstand for up to 5
minutesdependingon size and
density of pieces. This standing
time also enhancesthe overall
flavor and appearanceof most
vegetables.
Q. What if I don’t cover the dish in
Auto Cook?
A. While cookingwithoutthe cover
does not affect sensor performance,
we suggest coveringdishes that
may spatter to keep the oven clean.
Coveringalso helps foods heat
evenly.
AUTO cycle when
Q. Do the shapes and sizes of food
make a difference when using Auto
Cook?
A. Yes, in some cases, larger pieces
will require additionalTime Cook-
ing. Be sure to check suggested
arrangementof pieces in the dish,
since proper arrangementis often
a successfultip in regular
microwaving.
Q. Should 1use Auto Cook to cook
pudding or sauces?
A. Most puddingand sauce recipes
require stirringmany times during
cooking; therefore, Time Cook is
recommendedsince you shouldnot
open the door during the AUTO
phase of cookingwithoutaffecting
end cookingresults.
Q. My scallopedpotatoes were not
completelycooked when I removed
the dish after Auto Cook. What is
wrong?
A. If you preparedthe sauce in the
oven prior to combiningthe sauce
with potatoes,there may have been
too much remainingmoisturein the
oven. Make sure you dry the oven
completelybefore using Auto Cook
since this functionoperates properly
by sensing steam and aroma in the
oven. Also startingAuto Cook with
hot foods creates steam and aroma
in the oven too soon, and decreases
the first sensingcycle.
Q. Are there any other foods which
are best Time Cooked, rather than
Auto Cooked?
A. Bakery foods, candies,melted
chocolateor foods when a dry or
crisp surface is desirable,are
cookedbest by Time Cook.
Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetables
require water when using Auto
Cook?
A. Yes. Add water to the vegetables
as recommendedon chart and cover
well for even, completecooking.
Q. Would my plastic containerswith
very tight fitting lids be appropriate
for AutomaticCooking?
A. No, most types of plastic storage
dishes, butter tubs, etc. with tight
fitting lids are not recommendedfor
microwaving.Also tight fitting lids
may prevent adequatesteam and
aroma from escapingand food may
not cook properlyduring Automatic
Cooking.
Q. I tried to warm some chow mein
noodles using Auto Cook. Why
didn’t this work?
A. Food must have some moisture
in order to create steam which helps
the auto sensor function.Extremely
dry foods such as chow mein noodles, potato chips and other such
foods do not have enoughmoisture.
Q. Should I use Auto Cook when I
am cookingmany foods in more
than one dish or casserole?-
A. No, because of differentfood
densities,attentionneeded during
cooking,and food amounts,it is
best to use Time Cook when
cookingmany foods.

AutomaticCockingRecipe Guide
‘4utomaticCookingControlis a
m
ully automaticelectroniccontrol
system that lets your microwave
oven do the cookingfor you. The
charts and recipes in this section
are designedto help you make the
most of this feature.
Standardcookingtechniques
require setting the oven for a speci-
fied cookingtime or a selectedfinished temperature.And that means
lookingup recipes in a cookbook.. .
trying to convert old recipes for
microwavecooking.. .or just resorting to guesswork.This control
methodworks on an entirelydifferent basis—witha special electronic sensor that detects steam
and aromas from cookingfood. The
oven “knows”how the food is
cooking;so it can automaticallyset
the correctcookingtime and maintain the properpower level for different types and amountsof food.
And it’s adjustableto suit your indi-
vidual taste.
Easy to Use
Simply touch two controlpads—
AUTO COOK and the desired Code
number—andthen START. A chart
on the oven controlpanel gives a
list of Codes for frequentlyprepared foods. The display shows
AUTO until steam is sensed and
then signals, and displays time
countingdown. During AUTO, oven
should not be opened,but after
oven signals, door may be opened
to check foods if desired.Check the
AutomaticCookingChart for
suggestions.
Appropriatecontainersand coverings help assure good cooking
results. Containersshouldmatch in
size to the size of the food being
cooked.Coveringssuch as wax
paper, the lid that came with the
container,or microwave-safeplastic
domes are ideal. For examplesof
containersand coverings,see page
10 and the followingrecipes.
PreferenceControl
With PreferenceControl,you can
adjust the AutomaticCookingFeature to your individualtaste by
adding either “l” or “9’ after Code
number.If after trying the suggested
Code, you would prefer less cooking
time, simply add the number“l”
after the Code and the oven automaticallylessens the cookingtime
by 20°/0. If you wish more cooking
time, add “9” after the Code to
increase cookingtime by 20°/0.
AutomaticRoasting
AutomaticRoastinguses the tem-
peratureprobe rather than the electronic sensor to cook meats to the
desired degree of doneness.The
oven continuallymonitorsthe
food’s internal temperature.Unlike
ordinaryTemperatureCooking,the
oven changespower levels two or
three times dependingon the
degree of donenessduringcooking
to give you the best results auto-
matically.After cookingthe oven
switchesautomaticallyto Hold for
an hour. Food stays warm without
overcooking.
FoodsRecommended
A wide variety of foods includingmeats, fish, casse-
roles, vegetables,leftovers,and conveniencefoods
can be Auto Cooked.Match containersize with the
food, cover securely,and do not open door while
@
AUTO appears on display.
Foods Not Recommended
Recipes and foods which must be cookeduncovered,
or which require constantattention,or addingingre-
dients duringcookingshould be microwavedby
TIME COOK. For foods that microwavebest using
temperatureprobe, use TEMP COOK or AUTO
ROAST. Foods requiringa dry or crisp surface after
cookingcook best with TIME COOK.

~ookingby Temperaturein Your Microwave
Oven
For many foods, internal tempera-
ture is the best test of doneness.
Roasts or poultry are cooked to
your preference when temperature
cooking. Heating or reheating foods
accurately to a serving temperature
you desire is simple and easy.
Temp Cook/Holdtakes the guesswork out of cooking because the
oven shuts off automaticallywhen
the food is done and holds that
temperatureuntil you touch the
CLEAR/OFFpad.
The TemperatureProbe
The temperatureprobe is a food
thermometerthat gauges the
internal temperatureof your food;
it must be used when using Temp
Cook/Holdor Auto Roast. Follow
the directionsfor use and insertion
on page 21.

Step 4: Touch POWER LEVEL pad.
“Enter Power” flashes. Touch 5 for
MEDIUMpower. “Temp”,130 F and
Power 5 shows on display.
Step 5: Touch START. If internal
temperatureof the roast is less than
80°, display will show “COOL”or if
temperatureis 80° or above, display
shows temperaturecountingup.
Step 6: When 130° is reached, the
oven will sound and flash “HOLD”.
The oven will then hold the temperature.
Step 7: Touch the CLEAR/OFFpad
to stop the cycle.
Step 8: Remove probe and food
from the oven.
CookingTips
● Use a lower power level setting;
it will heat evenly even though
requiringmore time,
● Be sure frozen food has been
completelydefrostedbefore inserting probe. Probe may break off if
used in frozen foods.
● Always insert probe into the
center of meaty areas; take care not
to touch the fat or the bone.
● Insert probe as horizontallyas
possibleinto foods as directedin
the recipes. Make sure the handle
does not touch the food.
@Use the clip to keep the probe in
place while heating.
● Cover foods as directedin Cook-
book for moisturecontroland
quick, heating.
Questions and Answers
Q. After I followed the steps and
touched START, “ERROR’” flashed
in the display and a signal sounded.
What is wrong?
A. “ERROR”flashes on displayif
you set the temperatureeither below
80° or greater than 199°. The oven
tells you betweenthe flashingof
“ERROR” what the incorrectentry
was that you set. To re-enter,touch
CLEAR/OFFpad and begin steps
again.
Q. Are there any foods I can’t Temp
Cook?
A. Yes. Delicatebutter icings, ice
cream, frozen whippedtoppings,
etc., soften rapidly at warm temper-
atures. Batters and doughsas well
as frozen foods are also difficultto
cook preciselywith the probe. It is
best to Time Cook these foods.
Q. Why did “PROBE”’ flash on the
display after I touched Start?
A. “PROBE”will flash on the display
if you have not securelyseated the
end of the probe into the receptacle
in the oven wall or if you touch
TEMP COOK/HOLDand have forgotten to use the probe.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven
if it’s not inserted in the food?
A. No. If the probe is left inside the
oven, touchingthe oven wall, and
not insertedin food, you may
damage the oven.
Q. Can I Temp Cook different
portions of food at different
temperatures?
A. Yes. The temperatureprobe
gives you the freedomto cook different portionsof food at different
temperaturesto suit individual
eating styles. Simplyplace the
probe in the food and change the
temperaturesetting as needed.

Questions and Answers
Q. What will happen if I accidentally
reverse my defrost, hold and cook
instructions?
A. The oven automaticallyrear-
ranges your program.Defrosting
always comes first, then hold, and
then the cookingfunction.
Q. Can I defrost and hold only?
A. Yes. Sometimesyou may only
want to defrosta food, hold it, and
cook it later. All you need to do is
programin Defrost and amountof
time. Then programHold and the
amountof time. Be sure to put the
thawed dish in the refrigerator
promptly.
NOTE: Let foods remain at room
temperatureonly as long as safe.
Times will vary.
Q. I programmedmy oven for a
specific defrosting time but it
defrosted longer than necessary.
What happened?
A. When instructionsconflict,the
oven carries out the last instruction.
You may have set the oven to
defrost for 4 minutes,hold for
2 minutes,and then defrostfor
6 minutes.In this case, the oven
would defrost for 6 minutesand
hold for 2 minutesand ignore your
first defrostinstruction.

Your range top is designed to give
you flexibility of boiling, steaming,
sauteing, browning, frying, canning,
or pressure cooking. It heats
through the metal coils of four
Calrod@ units thus giving the correct amount of energy for each
setting you choose.
How to Set Controls
You must push the knob in only
when it is set at OFF; this is to prevent you from turningthe knob on
accidentally.When the knob is in
any other position,you can turn it
withoutpushingit in. You will feel
it pop out when you turn it to OFF.
The lowest settingis betweenOFF
and WARM. At the HI setting,you
will feel the knob lightly click into
place.
In a quiet kitchen,you may hear
slight “popping”sounds during
cooking,indicatingheat settings
are being maintained.

Step 2: Turn the knob in either
directionto the heat setting you
want.
SPECIALNOTE: You may find
foods you boil on the surface units
causing condensationto gather
under the upper microwaveoven.
This is especiallytrue of foods
boiled with water or naturallyhigh
in moisture.
Steam condensationwill not harm
your range. However,you may min-
imize condensationby:
● Coveringpots and pans with lids,
especiallywhen cookinghigh mois-
ture foods on the range top.
. Select a surface unit at the front
of the range for boilingfoods.
CookingTips
Keep range and ventilatinghood
@
free from grease accumulation.
● When cookingis almost com-
pleted, use the retainedheat to
finish cooking.Turn the knob to
OFF and leave the cookingutensil
in place. When surface unit has
cooled,remove the utensil and the
cooked food.
● To prevent certain foods from
foaming,add a tablespoonof
cookingoil to the water before
cooking.
● Never leave food unattended
when you are cookingat HI or
VIED HI settings.Boiloverscause
smokingand grease spillovermay
catch fire.
● When canningfoods, be sure to
check manufacturer’sinstructions
and recipes.Be sure canneris flatbottomedand fits securelyover
center of Calrod@ unit.
* Make sure Calrod@ plug-inunit is
securelypluggedin and seated on
ring/panproperlyfor even heating
results.
ContainerTips
● Pots and pans shouldbe flat on
the bottomand match the size of
the surface units. Large containers
should be on large units and small
one on small units.
● It is importantthat pans fit the
units you are using. A pan that
extends more than one inch beyond
the edge of the trim ring may reach
temperaturesthat could eventually
harm cooktopsurfaces aroundunits.
● Center pots and pans on a sur-
face unit which closely matchesthe
bottom of the utensil in size.
● Containersof variousmaterials
may require differentheat settings
and/or cookingtime. Check the
manufacturer’sinstructionsbefore
using.
● Specialcookingequipment
withoutflat bottoms,such as the

1. Aluminumpans conduct heat quickly. For most conventional
,’
baking light shiny finishes generally give best results because they
*
prevent overbrownlngin the time It takes for heat to cook the
center areas. Dull (satin-finish)bottom surfaces of pans are
recommendedfor cake pans and pie plates to be sure those areas
brown completely.
2. Dark or non-shinyfinishes, also glass and pyroceram,generally
absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts. Reduce
oven heat 25° if lighter crusts are desired. Preheat cast iron for
baking some foods for rapid browningwhen food is added.
3. Preheatingthe oven is not always necessary, especiallyfor
foods which cook longer than 30 or 40 minutes. For food with
short cooking times, preheatinggives best appearanceand
crispness.
4. open the oven door to check food as little as Dossible to mevent uneven heating and to save energy.

How to Set Your
Oven for Roasting
See Roasting Chart on page 35.
Step 1: Check the weight of the
meat and place, fat side up, on the
rack in the broiler pan that came
with your range. This helps the
meat to baste itself.
Step 2: Use shelf position“A” or
“B”; or the one indicatedon Roasting Chart, page 35. Place Oven Shelf
on correct embossedshelf support.
For very tall roasts, remove second
oven shelf.
Step 3: Turn the OVEN TEMP Knob
to 325”. (The exceptionis small
poultry which is roasted at 3750.)
Step 4: Close the oven door and
turn the OVEN SET Knob to BAKE.
Oven “On” Light comes on and
stays on until OVEN SET Knob is
turned to OFF. Oven CyclingLight
comes on and remainson until
temperatureis reached.
Step 5: Place your meat inside the
oven, making sure the pan is not
touchingthe oven walls or door.
CookingTips
c Be sure meat is cookedto your
satisfaction.Most meats continueto
cook slightlywhile standingafter
being removedfrom the oven. This
should be taken into consideration
when determiningyour cooking
time.
● Always use a roastingpan that
fits the size of your meat. A roast
placed in a pan too small for its size
will drip over the edge.
● You may cook frozen meat roasts
withoutthawing.However, you
must allow more cookingtime. For
large roasts, add 10-25 minutesper
pound. For roasts under 5 pounds,
add 10 minutesper pound.
● To slow down surface browning
on turkeys,you can use a foil “tent”.
The tent-shapedfoil shouldbe laid
loosely over the poultryso the heat
can circulateunder the foil.
● Most frozen poultryshouldbe
thawed before cookingto ensure it
is done evenly. Some, however,can
be cooked successfullywithout
thawing.Check the packer’s label
for specific directions.
How to Set Your
Step 2: Positionoven shelf as indi-
cated on BroilingChart, page 36.
Step 3: Turn the OVEN SET Knob
and OVEN TEMP Knob to BROIL.
Both Oven IndicatorLights cG::ie on.
Step 4: Leave oven door ajar
3 inches (except chicken,see
below). The door will stay open itself
yet the proper temperaturewill be
maintainedin the oven. During
cooking,turn the food only once.
Step 5: Turn OVEN SET Knob to
OFF and serve food immediately.
Leave the pan outside the oven to
cool during the meal for easy
cleaning.

Step 6: Turn off the heat when the
roastingcycle is complete.
Oven for Broiling
See Broiling Chart on page 36.
Step 1: Place the meat on the
broiler rack in the broiler pan.
Always use the rack so fat drips
into the broiler pan.
34
● Foil may be used to line the
broiler pan and rack. However,be
sure to cut openingsin the foil to
correspondwith the slits in the
broiler rack so fat drips into the pan
below,
● For all weightsof chicken,broil
with door closed.
● Placing food closer to the top of
the oven increasessmoking,spattering, exteriorbrowningon the
meat and the possibilityof food fat
catchingon fire. Always keep rack~,
3-5 inches from the broilingunit.‘ ‘
