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
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
not tilt when removing food from or placing food
on them.

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

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

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

you use two shelves stagger the pans so one is not

Baking Guides
Follow the recipe or the directions on the back of the box to get the best
baking results.
Cookies
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked
in a
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.
Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum

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
1
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.

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

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.
check with thermometer at
roast or poultry?
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.
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 two thicknesses
and times are given together, use first times given for
thinnest food.)
Step 8: When Broiling is completed press the
leave pan outside oven to cool during meal for
easiest cleaning.
by
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.

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.
2.
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

● 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.

Questions and Answers
Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time
of day, can I still self-clean my oven?
A. 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
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
smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the
word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up the
excess soil and reset the clean cycle.
Q. Is the “crackling” sound I hear during
cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating
and cooling during both the cooking and
cleaning functions.
scar
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
the matter?
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.

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.
Surface Unit
Drip Pan
Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan
and pull it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch. If you
do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you
plug it back in.
Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than
1 inch above the drip pan can permanently
damage the receptacle.
Drip Pans
Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.
The drip pans can be cleaned by hand. Place them in a
covered container (or a plastic bag) with 1/4 cup
ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap
filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse with clean
water and polish with a clean soft cloth.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Clean the area under the drip pans often.
Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.
CAUTION: Be sure all controls are turned to OFF
and surface units are cool before attempting to
remove them.
