Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond

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

Usingthec0ntt01knobs

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

the burner has lit.

• Stop the clicking

sound after the burner
lights by turning the

control knob anywhere

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

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS (contd.) \,

Homecanninginformation

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 fiat 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 alltypes of cooking.

• Medium or heavy thickness is best for mostcooking.

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

USING THE OVEN

The integrated handle area makes pulling out the
STURDIGLIDE rack simple. The opening is large

enough for a potholder or oven mitt.

STURDtGLtDEHALF-RACKwith
removableinsert

The STURDIGLIDE TMHALF-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.

E×t aove r ck p0 itio (roasti g 'eck)

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

oven rack positior over the door.

• Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan

Positioningracksandpans

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 holdersor oven mitts to protect your hands
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven ishot.

• 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

Dark aluminum and other
bakeware with dark, dull,

and/or non-stick finish

BEST USED FOR

• Lightgolden crusts

• Even browning

• Brown, crisp crusts

GUIDELINES

' Use temperature and time recommended

in recipe.

• May reduce baking temperature 25°F.

• Use suggested baking time.

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 piesor casseroles place
foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned

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

• May reduce baking temperature 25°F.

• Place inthe bottom third of oven.

• May need to increase baking time.

• May need to increase baking time.

• Follow manufacturer's instructions.

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