COOKING TIPS

Cookware

● Use medium-or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum

cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

● For best cooking results pans should be flat on the

bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the trim ring more than l“.

HOME CANNING TIPS

,,:,ig:~’; ’’’’’u::j?;:}~

,i:;~~~~~

::::~~~:

Canning should be done on surface units only.

Pots that extend beyond one inch of surface unit’s drip pan are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface unit.

Observe the Following Points in Canning

1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the

surface unit. If your range or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.

2. For best results, use canners with flat bottoms. Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) don’t make good contact with the surface unit and take a long time to boil water.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce and all types of frying-cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop surfaces surrounding surface units.

3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from

reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures

are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

4. Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may take longer than expected, even though directions have been carefully followed.

The process time will be shortened by: (1) using a pressure canner, and (2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating of large quantities of water.

Before Using Your Oven

USING YOUR OVEN

Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how

to set them properly. Read over the directions for the Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.

2. Check oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming out completely from the oven, and

3. Read over information and tips that follow.

4. Keep this book handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).

Oven Light

Use the switch on the panel to turn the light on and off.

Adjusting Oven Thermostat

When cooking food for the first time in your new oven. use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from

the factory setting and the differences in timing

between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven seconds. The red display will change to the oven which it replaced. adjustment display.

If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you

can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change hotter or (–) the temperature, set the oven temperature or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then

bake. The results of this “test” should give you an

idea of how much the temperature should be changed.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. We recommend that you operate the range for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance. If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjusting Oven Temperature section.

Page 15

For best baking results, follow these suggestions:

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends

on the kind of food and the browning desired.

As a

general

rule, place-most foods in the middle of the oven, on either

~he

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 the oven up to the specified temperature before putting in the food. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Type of Food

Angel food cake Biscuits or muffins B or C Cookies or cupcakes Brownies

Layer cakes

Bundt or pound cakes

Pies or pie shells B or C Frozen pies A (on cookie sheet) Casseroles Roasting A or B

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.

Shelf Position

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.

● 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 Yz inch space between pans as well 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.

Page 16

BAKING

(continued)

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, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. 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 rack several inches below the food.

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 recommends 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.

Don>t

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such

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.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for BAKE or Timed Bake. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Roasting is easy; just follow these steps:

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

Step 2. Check weight of meat, and place, 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.) 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 door.

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.

Step 5. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when roasting is finished and then

CLEAR remove food from 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 Roasting Guide).

NOTE:

● You may wish to use Timed Baking, as described in

the Baking section of this book, to turn the 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.

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a

meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the

completion of cooking time is recommended.

Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 hour intervals after half the 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.

A. It is unnecessary to preheat your oven. 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 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.

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. Most broiling is

done on C position, but if your range is connected to 208 Volts, you may wish to use a higher position.

Step 4: Leave door open to broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature, is maintained.

Step 5: Press BROIL pad.

Step 6: Select LO Broil (450°F.) by tapping 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.

-/&’

Turn food, then use times given for second side as a guide to preferred doneness. (Where two thicknesses and times are given together, use first times given for thinnest food.)

Step 8: When Broiling is completed press the

CLEAIVOFF pad. Serve food immediately, and

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

Step 7: Turn food only

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

(550”F.)

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. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range

may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil unit for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with

food in oven. 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.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent

meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler

heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make cleanup easier.

(continued next page)

Page 20

BROILING GUIDE

(continued)

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.

Oven door should be open to the broil stop

position.

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

6. Broiler does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning,

preheat if desired.

3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around 7. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning 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

Before a Clean Cycle

Quick Reminder:

1. Prepare the oven for cleaning.

2. Close the oven door.

3. Press the CLEAN pad.

4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set clean time.

Step 1:

Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all

cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they

cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures. (Oven shelves may be left in oven. NOTE: Shelves

will discolor after the self-clean cycle.)

Step 2: Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If

you use soap rinse thoroughly before self cleaning to prevent staining.

Step 3:

(A), under the front edge of the oven vent, the door liner outside the door gasket and the front edge of the oven cavity (about one inch into the oven). Use detergent and hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad, then 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.

Clean spatters or spills on oven front frame

● Clean top, sides and outside front of oven door with

soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

● Do not let water run down through openings (B)

in the top of the door. To help prevent water from getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door as far as it will go.

● Do not rub or clean the door gasket (C)— the

fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Step 4: Close the door and make sure the oven light

(D) is off. The door will latch automatically when the

CLEAN pad is pushed. 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.

Caution: Drip pans should never be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.

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 temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

Important The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the clean cycle to work properly.

How to Set Oven for Cleaning

Broiler Pan and Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the rack from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease in the pan into a proper container. Wash and

rinse the pan and rack in hot soapy water.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack while hot, with detergent and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose while the meal is being served.

Surface Units and Drip Pans

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.

CAUTION

●

Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any kind.

● Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.

● Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

● Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair

the plug-in receptacle.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack in the oven. Do not clean in self-cleaning oven.

To replace a surface unit:

● Replace the drip pan into the recess in the

cooktop. Make sure opening in the pan lines up with the receptacle.

“

Insert the terminals of the surface unit through

the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.

● Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.

Q. Can

cover the drip pans with foil?

A. No, because using foil so close to the receptacle

could cause shock, fire or damage to the range.

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units must be removed first. Make sure the surface units are completely cool before touching them.

Be certain the wire is in the depression in the

center of the cover.

●

Connect electric power to the range.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acid foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat smatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
