YOU...

Before using your range, read this guide carefully.

It

is intended to help you operate and maintain your

new range properly.

Keep it handy for answers to your questions.

How to Remove Packaging Tape To

assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove packaging tape adhesive on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the chrome trim on range parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Write down the model and serial numbers.

You’ll find them on a label on the front of the range behind the storage drawer. See the Features of Your Range section in this guide.

These numbers are also on the Consumer Product Ownership Registration Card that came with your range. Before sending in this card, please write these numbers here:

Model Number

Serial Number Use these numbers in any correspondence or service

calls concerning your range.

If you received a damaged range...

Immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that sold you the range.

Check the Problem Solver in the back of this guide. It lists causes of minor operating problems that you can correct yourself.

HOME CANNING TIPS

Canning should be done on the surface units only.

Pots that extend beyond one inch of surface unit’s drip

are not recommended However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) surrounding the surface units.

surfaces

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 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

Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out from the oven, and will not tilt when removing food from 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 the front end upward and pull it out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension of the up toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the

Pans

Pan Placement

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 absorb heat. When baking in

glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be reduced by

25°F.

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

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1- to 1 as from the

If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not

directly above the other.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions

for 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. Never entirely cover

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in 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.

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.
