flame size.

●

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

matends

on

them.

Air

Adjw@ent

An air adjustment shutter for each surface burner regulates

the

flow

of air to the flame. When the right amount of air flows into the

burner,

the

flame will be steady, relatively quiet

and

have approximately 3/4-inch sharp blue cones. This is usually the case with factory preset shutter settings.

With too much air, the

flame will

be unsteady,

possibly won’t burn

rdl

the way around, and will be

noisy, sounding like a blowtorch. With not enough air, you won’t see any sharp blue

cones in the

flame,

you may see yellow tips and soot

may accumulate on pots

and

pans.

To adjust the flow of air to the burners, rotate the shutters to allow more or less air into the burner tubes as needed.

How to Select Name Sbe

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the

cookw~e you are using.

um: Medium-weight cookware is

recommended because it heats

and evenly.

Most foods brown evenly in an

Use saucepans with tight-fitting

manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods. Glass:

There

are 2 types of glass cookware-those

and those for top-of-rmge cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Hwtproof Gks

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

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

tight

the burner, turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired

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.

Roasting is

redy

a baking procedure used for meats. Roasting is easy;

just follow these directions:

1.

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

2. Check the weight of the meat. Place it, fat side up, (or for poultry,

breast-

side-up) on the roasting rack in a shallow

pan.

The

Fat

will baste the meat. Select a pan m close to the size of the meat as possible. (The broiler pan with rack is a good

pan

for this.) Line

the broiler pan with

rduminum

foil when using the

pan for marinating, cooking

witi

fruits, cooking heavily cured meats, or basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these materials inside the oven or inside the oven door.

3. Turn the OVEN

A. Yes.

Using the rack suspends the meat over

Lift them out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after

sptiovers.

Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. After cleaning, dry 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 =t iron grates, apply a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the

gates.

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 scouting pad if necessary.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

●

Do not spray on the electrical controls and switches

because it could cause a short circuit and result in

sparting

or

fwe.

●

Do not allow a

fdm

from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensor—it could cause the oven to heat

imDroDerlv. (The

sensor is located at the

toD

‘,

.

of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean

after’

each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven

b~es.

● Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,

handes

or any exterior surface of the oven, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Meti Pafi

Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia or commercial oven cleaners. To safely clean surfaces; wash, rinse and then dry with a

soft cloth.
