EnergysavingTips

1. Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, keep an eye on the indicator light, and put food in the oven promptly after the light goes out,

2. Always turn oven OFF before removing food.

3. During baking, avoid frequent door openings. Keep door open as short a time as possible when it is opened.

4. Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before selfcleaning operation.

5. 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.

6. 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.

UsingYourOven

Beforeusing

Youroven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them prop-

erly. Readover the directions for the Automatic Oven Timer so you understand its use with the controls.

2. Check oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them prop-

erly, to give sure sturdy support.

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 getting acquainted with your oven.

ovencontrols

The controls for the oven(s) are marked OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP. OVEN SET has settings for BAKE, TIME BAKE, BROIL, CLEAN (and on ovens so equipped, ROTIS-

SERIE), and OFF. When you turn

the knob to the desired setting, the

proper heating units are then acti-

vated for that operation.

OVEN TEMP maintains the temperature you set from WARM (150° ) to BROIL (550°) and also at CLEAN (880° ). The Oven Cycling

Light glows until oven reaches the selected temperature, then goes off and on with the oven unit(s) during cooking. PRE-HEATING the oven, even to ,high temperature settings, is speedy—rarely more

than about 10 minutes. Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, keep an eye on the indicator light and put food in the oven promptly after light goes out.

OvenTempSettingfor NormalCooking

IMPORTANT: The OVEN TEMP

control has a blue pointer that is used only for CLEAN. For normal cooking, line up the desired temperatures (marked on the outer edge of the control knob) with the index marker located immediately above the control.

For CLEAN, rotate the knob to the right until blue pointer is pointing

up, toward Index Marker. When position is reached, knob should snap into position.

C9verIIlntetiorShelves

The shelves are designed with stop~locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, (a) will stop before coming com-

pletely from the oven, (b) will not tilt when removing food nor when placing food on them.

TO REMOVE shelves from the oven, when cool, lift up rear of shelf, pull forward with stop-locks (curved extension under shelf) along top of shelf supports.

TO REPLACE shelves in oven, insert shelf with stop-locks resting on shelf supports. Push shelf

toward rear of oven; it will fall into place. When shelf is in proper position, stop-locks on shelf will run under shelf support when shelf is pulled forward.

OvenLight

The light comes on automatically when the door is opened. Use switch to turn light on and off when door is closed.

Switch is in horizontal position on left side of door under handle.
