SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state

to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning ovens gives very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning

cycle.

Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

When You Get Your Oven

●

Storage in or on appliance—

Do not store flammable materials in the oven.

● Keep hood and grease filters

clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

● Do not let cooking grease

● Do not use water on grease

CLEAWOFF pad or use

oven dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.

● Do not touch heating

of oven. These surfaces may be

hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or

let clothing or other flammable

materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time

for cooling, first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent openings and surfaces near the openings, crevices around the oven door, the edges of the door window and metal trim parts above door.

Remember: The inside surface

of the oven may be hot when

the door is opened.

● When cooking pork,

the directions exactly always cook the meat to

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.

Energy-Saving Tips

Self-Cleaning Oven

(on model OVEN ONLY)

● Do not clean door gasket

before reading special cleaning instructions in the Self-Clean section of this book. The door gasket is

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,

damage or move the gasket.

● Do not use oven cleaners.

No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

● Clean only parts listed in

this Use and Care Book.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan and other cookware.

● Listen for fan—a fan noise

may be heard sometime during

the clean cycle. This is normal.

● Do not use aluminum foil

to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in this book. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

● Be sure to wipe up excess

spillage before starting the self-cleaning operation.

RK746,

the UPPER

If You Need Service

Read the Problem Solver in

the back of this book.

●

Don’t

attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this book.

All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

● Preheat oven only when necessary.

Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, listen for the beep, and put food in 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 if it 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 the 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.

For Frozen Roasts

●

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but

allow 10

pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

● 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.

to 25 minutes per

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer?

Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide on opposite page. For roasts over 8

lbs.,

cooked at reduced time, check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking 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.

Q. Do I need to preheat my

oven each time 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.

2. Place meat fat-side-up, or

poultry breast-side-up, on broiler pan or other shallow pan with trivet. Do not cover. Do not stuff poultry until just before roasting. Use meat thermometer for more accurate doneness. (Do not place

thermometer in stuffing.)

The self-clean cycle will automatically begin after “LOCK” is displayed and the word “ON” will appear on the display. When the word “LOCK” is displayed, it will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature.

When the clean cycle is finished,

the word “CLEAN” will the display and the oven will begin to cool. When the oven temperature has fallen below the locking temperature (about 20-30 minutes after the word “CLEAN”

goes out at the end of the clean cycle), the word “LOCK” goes out and the door can be opened.

Adjusting Oven Thermostat

(Electronic Oven Control)

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

may “drift” from the factory setting and differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to I minutes are not unusual and you may be inclined to think that the new

oven

is not performing correctly. However, your new oven has been set correctly at the and is more apt to be accurate than the oven it replaced.

If you think the oven should hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to

change

avoid additional stains.

See Self-Cleaning section for more information.

Shelves can be cleaned with the self-cleaning function in the 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. For heavy soil, clean by hand and rinse thoroughly.

Do not clean the bake unit or broil unit. Any soil will bum off when the unit is heated. NOTE: The bake unit can be lifted gently to clean the oven floor. If

or ash accumulates around the bake unit, gently wipe around the unit with warm water. Cool before cleaning.

FOR LIGHT SOIL: Frequent wiping with mild soap and water (especially after cooking meat)

will

prolong the time between major cleaning. Rinse thoroughly.

NOTE: Soap left on liner causes additional stains when oven is reheated.

FOR HEAVY SOIL: Choose a nonabrasive cleaner and follow label instructions, using thin layer of cleaner. Use of rubber gloves is recommended. Wipe or rub lightly on stubborn spots. Rinse well. Wipe off any oven cleaner that gets on thermostat bulb. When rinsing oven after cleaning, also wipe thermostat bulb.
