This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

"WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,

and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET

The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight

to the open door without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.

See the installation instructions for details.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns

to children and adults.

Anti-Tip Bracket

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS

Use the following chart as a guide.

LITE • To light the burner.
Power Burner • To provide highest heat

(left front burner) setting.

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond

the edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not cooking,

Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death or fire.

i¸ _,_ ....._ _ _ _

Your range comes with electric ignitors that light

the burners each time you turn the control knobs

to LITE.

• Place a filled pan on the burner grate before
turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a

burner for extended periods of time without
having cookware on the grate.

• Push in the control knob and turn it counter-

clockwise to the LITE
position. The clicking

sound is the ignitor
sparking. Make sure

the burner has lit.

• Stop the clicking

sound after the burner

lights by turning the

control knob anywhere

between HI and LO.

NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same
time. However, the burner with the control knob

turned to LITE is the one that will ignite.

(right front burner on
models 665.75812,

HI • To start food cooking.

Mid-range • To hold a boil.

: SURESlMMER TM • To provide lowest

setting simmer/heat setting.

(right rear burner) • To melt chocolate or butter.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The

cookware could overheat, causing damage to the
cookware or cooking product.

_;. _ _ ii _ "¸ _ !

The left front burner is designed to give ultra-high
power when it is fully on. It can be used to rapidly

bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of
food. On models 665.75812 and 665.75814 both

front burners are Power Burners.

The right rear SURESIMMER burner is designed for

low temperature cooking. It allows accurate simmer

• To help shorten your cooking time, use the least
amount of liquid possible.

• Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn

the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit
match near a burner and turn the control knob to

the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the
control knob to the setting you want.

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure

canners combined with high heat settings for long
periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.

To protect your range:

• Center the canner over the surface burner. Do
not extend more than 1 inch outside the burner

area.

• Do not place your canner on two surface burners
at the same time.

• Start with hot water, cover with a lid and bring to
a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or

required pressure levels in a pressure canner.

• Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.

For up-to-date information on canning, contact your
local U.S. Government Agricultural Department

Extension Office or companies who manufacture
home canning products.

• The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,
and a well-fitting lid.

• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
cookware.

• The pan material (metal or glass) affects how

quickly and evenly the pan heats.

• When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to

make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.

• To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are

centered on the grates.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.

• Use for all types of cooking.

• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Cast iron • Heats slowly and e,_enly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Ceramic or • Heats slowly and unevenly.
ceramic glass • Use on low to medium settings.

Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.

Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the

Porcelain enamel-on-steel or • See cast iron and stainless steel.

marfufacturer.

• Use on low settings.

Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper onthe cookware provides
even heating.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

USING THE OVEN

Where to place pans:

Place the racks where you need them before

turning on the oven.

• To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position,
raise the front edge and lift it out.

• Be sure the rack(s) is level.

• Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands

ifrack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.

• For best performance, cook on one rack. Place
the rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.

• When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks

on the 2rid and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of
cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at

approximately three quarters of the total bake
time. Increase baking time, if necessary.

• For best results, allow 2 inches of space around

each pan and between pans and oven walls. Hot

air must circulate around the pans in the oven for
even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This
results in better baking.

Use this rack position when roasting food too large ....................................................................................................

to be placed on the first NOTE: For information on where to place your rack

rack position, when broiling, see "Broiling guidelines," pp. 19, 20.
For proper roasting,

follow these guidelines:

• To avoid spillage,
remove food before

pulling out the rack.

• Tilt the rack up at the
front before pulling it

oven rack position over the door.

• Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan
(meat juices or water) so your food does not get

overdone,

WHEN YOU HAVE PLACE

1 pan In center of the oven rack.
2 pans Side by side or slightly

staggered.

3 or 4 pans In opposite corners on

each oven rack. Stagger

pans so no pan is directly
over another.

BAKEWARE CHOICES

Baking performance is affected by the type of bakeware used. Use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe.

BAKEWARE TYPE

Light colored aluminum

Dark aluminum and other
bakeware with dark, dull,
and/or non-stick finish

Ovenproof glassware,
ceramic glass, or ceramic

insulated cookie sheets or • Place in the bottom third of oven.
baking pans • May need to increase baking time.

Stainless steel • May need to increase baking time.

Stoneware • Follow manufacturer's instructions.

BEST USED FOR

° Light golden crusts

• Even browning

• Brown, crisp crusts

• Brown, crisp crusts

• Little or no bottom browning

• Light, golden crusts

• Uneven browning

• Crisp crusts

GUIDELINES

• Use temperature and time recommended
in recipe.

• May reduce baking temperature 25°F.

• Use suggested baking time.

• Use temperature and time recommended in recipe
for pies, breads, and casseroles.

• Place rack in center of oven.

• May reduce baking temperature 25°F.

USING ALUMINUM FOIL

• Do not line the oven bottom with any type of
foil, liners, or cookware. Permanent damage

will occur to the oven bottom finish.

• Do not block the oven bottom vents.

• Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.

Doing so will reduce air circulation and overall
oven performance.

• To catch spillovers from pies or casseroles place
foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned

up at edges and be at least 1 inch larger than dish.

• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or
poultry to slow down surface browning for long

term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.

• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust
edges if browning too quickly.
