Remember:

The inside surface of the oven may

be hot when the door is opened.

●

When cooking pork,

follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least

170°F.

This assures that, in the remote

possibility that trichina may be present in the meat,

it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Oven

●

Stand away from the range when opening the

oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

●

Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

●

Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

●

When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while

the oven is cool. If the shelves must be handled when hot, do not let potholders contact the heating units in the oven.

COOKING TIPS

● Use medium-or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum

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

HOME CANNING TIPS

Canning should be done on the open coil, solid disk HOWEVER, DO NOT element or radiant modules only. grill or griddle.

Pots that extend beyond 1 inch

diameter are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used.

Do not use the

the element’s

CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING

THAN WATER. Most syrup all types of frying-cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures harm cooktop surfaces surrounding the modules.

This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding the modules.

Observe the Following Points in Canning

1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the element. If your range or its location does not

allow

the canner to be centered on the element, 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 cooking element and take a long time to boil water.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.

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 Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

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:

using a pressure canner, and

(2)

When canning foods in a pressure the element off for a time. This will stop the boil or canner, the pressure must be maintained continuously for the required time.

● [f a solid disk or radiant element is used for canning,

Using Electric Element Modules

You must consider heat up and cool down times for the elements when determining cooking times. Heat

up and cool down times depend on initial temperature settings, the type of cookware used and the amount food being cooked.

Start cooking at a higher setting to heat the element f-aster, then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

Remember, cooking continues after the element is turned off, so train yourself to turn the heat down

or off before cooking is done.

SOLID DISK MODULE

Before Using Your Solid Disk Module for the First Time

The top working surface of solid disk elements have a protective coating which must be hardened before using the elements for the first time. To harden this coating, the elements should be briefly heated without a pan

(the coating will stick to the pan). Heat the elements for approximately 5 minutes the element will change the stainless steel element trim rings to a gold color.

THE ELEMENT’S PROTECTIVE COATING MUST BE HARDENED TO HELP PROTECT THE ELEMENT OVER ITS LIFE.

Griddle Tips

GRIDDLE ACCESSORY

(continued)

● Condition or “season” griddle before first-time use.

● Most griddled foods require cooking on a preheated

surface, which may be greased lightly before adding food. Preheat the griddle 5 minutes at HI heat setting, unless otherwise indicated in the Griddle Cooking Guide, then switch to recommended cook setting.

● Foods which are high in natural fat, such as bacon or

sausage, may be started on a cold griddle.

Foods to be warmed may be placed directly on the

griddle; a high domed metal cover, such as an inverted kettle, placed over them will help store the heat. Foods in covered dishes or pans may also be warmed on the griddle. Use heat- resistant dishes only.

Questions and Answers

How should I store my griddle when it is not in

use?

A. To avoid marring the non-stick finish, store griddle

upright on the edge with the terminals

damage. If it is necessary to store it flat, avoid placing other pans or cookware on top.

Q. How long can foods be kept warm with the

griddle without losing their appeal?

A. No longer than 2 hours is recommended, to assure

good food quality and prevent spoilage. Delicate

foods, such as eggs, should not be kept more than

15 to 30 minutes; entrees and casseroles may be warmed for 30 to 60 minutes. Hors d’oeuvres will stay hot for serving up to 1 or 1

‘A

or stir foods occasionally, if possible.

Why aren’t my foods done even though they

have cooked the full time?

A. Preheat the griddle for a longer time and leave

foods on the griddle longer to attain the desired degree of browning.

Q. Can my griddle be switched to the other side of

the range where it would be more convenient for me?

All interchangeable modules can be used on either

the right or left side of your

maintop. Simply lift

out the elements, taking care not to damage the electrical contacts by jerking or forcing them. Reverse the griddle and plug it into the receptacle on the opposite side of the range.

coated,

Never use

the griddle surface as a cutting board.

● Over a period of time, minor scratches and some

discoloration may appear in the non-stick coating.

This will not affect the cooking performance or the

non-stick finish.

Q. Do I need special cookware for use with my

griddle?

Avoid using metal cookware with sharp points or rough or sharp edges which might damage the non-stick coated griddle surface. Do not cut foods on the griddle. Use only heat-resistant dishes when foods in containers are to be warmed on the griddle. For further information on caring for your griddle’s surface, see the Care and Cleaning section.

Q. Can prolonged periods of high heat damage my

griddle’s surface?

A brief preheating period is often necessary for best results with many foods, but leaving the griddle on HI heat setting for more than 10 minutes without food can damage the non-stick coating. Always be sure to turn control

knobs

OFF when cooking is completed.

When cooking food for the first time in your new

oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over 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 which it replaced.

e or light browning may occur.

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce 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.

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 2 shelves, stagger the pans so 1 is not directly above the other.

inch space between pans as well

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.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet

or aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and results 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

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

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

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

When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

rack in the pan?

A. Yes.

A. No.

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.

Should I salt the meat before broiling?

Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat

with tongs; piercing meat with a fork 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?

In some areas, the power (voltage) to the oven

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.

—

Page 29

Always use the broiler pan and the 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.

The oven door should be open to the broil

stop position.

3. For steaks and chops, slash 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,

brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes

of broiling only.

5. When arranging food

pan, do not let fatty edges,

which could soil the oven with fat drippings, hang

over sides.

6. The 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 X times per side.

8. If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and

positioning the oven shelf 1 position higher.

metal parts the next time the oven is automatically

cleaned.

Q. After having just used the oven, I could not

move the latch handle. Why?

A. After several continuous high-temperature bakings

or broil

happens, let the oven cool by opening the oven door. After the oven has cooled, you will be able to latch the oven door for self-cleaning.

What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

This is caused by excessive soil, and you should

switch the OVEN SET knob to OFF. Open windows to rid room of smoke. Allow the oven to cool for at least I hour before opening the door. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Care of Modules

Some

the modules must be cured or preconditioned before using them for the first time. Modules and accessories should be cleaned after each use. The longer a soil remains, the harder it is to clean. See each module section in this manual for specific instructions. Never immerse any module in-water. When not in the maintop, modules and accessories should be stored in a clean, dry place. Always be careful not to drop the modules or they could be damaged.

To replace a surface unit:

● Replace the drip pan into the recess in the module.

Make sure the 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.

Drip Pans

TO CLEAN THE DOOR: (Do not immerse door in water.)

Inside of door:

● Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during

the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.

● The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a

scouring pad.

●

Do not rub or clean the door gasket–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.

NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Outside of door:

●

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

6. 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.

and anchors at hardware stores. Use a masonry drill to drill the required holes.

● If range is removed for cleaning or any other reason,

make sure chain is reattached.
