^WARNING
Ml
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.
Using the eontrol knobs
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.
e Stop the clicking
sound after the burner
lights by turning the
control knob anywhere
between HI and LO.
NOTE: Do not try to light the surface burners
during a power failure. 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.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or during
the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area
may become hot.

cookware or cooking product.
RECOMMENDED USE
• To light the burner.
• To provide highest heat
setting.
• To start food cooking.
• To bring liquid to a boil.
• To hold a boil.
• To fry chicken or pancakes.
• To cook gravy, pudding, or
icing.
• To cook large amounts of
vegetables.
• To keep food warm.
• To simmer.
• To provide lowest
simmer/heat setting.
• To melt chocolate or butter.
________
Using Power Burner
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.
Using SURESiMMER
The right rear SURESIMMER burner is designed for
low temperature cooking. It allows accurate simmer
control at the lowest setting.
Easy ways to save energy
• 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.
USING YOUR RANGE
USING THE SURFACE BURNERS (contd.)
Home canning information
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.
Using the right cookware makes a
big difference
• 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
Cast iron
Ceramic or
ceramic glass
Copper
Earthenware
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or
enamel-on-cast iron
Stainless steel
• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Use for all tipes of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel. .
• Heats slowly and unevenly.
• Use on low to medium settings.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
• Heats very quickly and evenly.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
• Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
• See cast iron and stainless steel.
• Heats quickly but unevenly.
• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides
even heating.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

STURDiaUDE™ oven ra
integrated handle
The integrated handle area makes pulling out the
STURDIGLIDE rack simpie. The opening is iarge
enough for a potholder or oven mitt.
The STURDIGLIDE''^“ HALF-RACK with removeable
insert is a space maximizer. When attached, they
make a full rack. The insert can also be used on
the counter for a cooling rack.
Position a full rack on guide 1 or 2 and the half
rack on guide 3 or 4. On the full rack place large
items on right side and deeper, covered dishes on
left side. Place shallow dishes on the half-rack. It
may be necessary to increase cooking time. At the
end of cooking, carefully remove items from the
oven.
* 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.
Extra mm rack pssitimi frsastliig raeki
Use this rack position when roasting food too large
to be placed on the first
rack position.
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
over the door.
• Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan
(meat juices or water) so your food does not get
overdone.
Where to place pans:

_______
Place the STURDIGLIDE 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
if rack{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 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of
cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at
approximately three quarters of the total bake

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.
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.
* Place in the bottom third of oven.
• May need to incréase baking time.
• May need to increase baking time.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions. -
e 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.
e Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust
edges if browning too quickly.
