Energy-Saving Tips

● Preheat the oven only when

necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.

If you find preheating is

listen for the beep and put food in
the oven promptly after the oven is
preheated.

● Always turn oven OFF before

removing food.

● During baking, avoid frequent

door openings. Keep door open
as short a time as possible
is opened.

● Cook complete oven meals

instead of just one food item.

Potatoes, other vegetables and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature and in approximately
the same time.

● Use residual heat in oven

whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.

Using Your Oven

Automatic Ignition

The oven burner is lighted by

electric ignition.
To light the burner,

for the desired function and press
lNCREASE or DECREASE pad
until the desired temperature is
displayed. The burner should
ignite within 60 seconds.

After the oven reaches the selected
temperature, the oven burner
cycles—off completely, then on
with a full flame—to keep the
oven temperature controlled.

Power outage?

The oven burner will not light in
the event of an electrical power
outage. Do not attempt to light it

manually with a match.

touch the pad

Oven Light

Use the switch on the control panel

to turn

the light on and off.

Oven Vent

When the oven is on, heated air

moves through a vent below the

control panel.
The vent area could get hot during

oven use.
The vent is needed for proper air

flow in the oven and good baking
results.
Doing so may cause failure, fire
or damage to the oven.

Do

not block this vent.

Oven Shelves
,

The shelves are designed with

locks so when placed correctly on
the shelf supports, they will stop
before coming completely out of
the oven and will not tilt when you
are removing food from them or
placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf,
pull the shelf out to the “stop”
position. Place the cookware on

the shelf, then slide the shelf back

into the oven. This will eliminate
reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf from the oven,

pull it toward you, tilt front end

upward and pull shelf out.

To replace, place shelf on shelf

support with stop-locks (curved

extension of shelf) facing up and

toward rear of oven. Tilt up front

and push shelf toward back of

oven until it goes past “stop” on

oven wall. Then lower front of

shelf and push it

all

the way back.

The oven has
A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are
suggested on Baking and Roasting
pages.

For best results, we recommend
that you use only one oven
when baking. If you are baking
multiple items and choose to use
both oven racks for baking, place
oven racks on shelf positions B
and D. When baking several items
stagger pans so that no pan is
directly above another.

Baking Guide

1. Preheating is very important
when baking foods such as
biscuits, cookies, cakes and other
pastries. Preheat the oven for at

least

10 minutes. Preheating is not
necessary when roasting or for
long-time cooking of whole meals.

2. Aluminum pans conduct heat
quickly. For most conventional
baking, light, shiny finishes give
best results because they help
prevent overbrowning. We
recommend
for cake pans and pie plates.

3. Dark or non-shiny finishes and
glass cookware generally absorb
heat, which may result in dry, crisp
crusts. Reduce oven heat 25”F. if
lighter crusts are desired. Rapid
browning of some foods can be
achieved by preheating cast iron

Always salt after cooking. Turn

Broiler Pan & Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler
pan and rack and carefully pour off
the grease. Wash and rinse the pan
and rack in hot, soapy water.

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

Do not store a soiled broiler pan
and rack in the broiler compartment
or in the oven.

Adjustment Shutters

Air adjustment shutters for the
burner regulate the flow of air to
the flames.

To adjust the air shutter, remove
the oven bottom (see Care and
Cleaning section). Turn burner full
on and check the flames. Burner
flames should not flutter or blow
away from the burner. They should
be blue in color with no trace of
yellow. Foreign particles in the gas
line may cause an orange flame at
first, but this will soon disappear.
If the flames are yellow or flutter,
open the air shutter more. If they
blow away from the burner, close
the air shutter more.
