IMPORTANT SAFETY nNSTRUCT ONS

Installation of this range must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSa Z223, latest edition.

This range has been design-certified by the American Gas Association according to ANSI Z21 1, latest edi- tion As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find these precautions on pages t3-16

Read them carefully

o Have your range installed by a qualified installer or service technician.

o Your range must be electrically grounded in accor- dance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical

Code (ANSl/NFPA 70, latest edition) See Grounding on page 6.

o Before installing your range on linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand 180°R without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4-inch4hick plywood or similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting

o Make sure the walt coverings around the range can withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°F.

o Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of operating burners, install over the range a ventila- tion hood that projects forward at least 5 inches

beyond the front of the cabinets.

The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet

metal not less than 0.0122 inch thick (No. 28 US. Standard gauge). Install above the cooking top with a

clearance of not less than 1/4 inch between the hood and the underside of the combustible material or

metal cabinet. The hood must be at least as wi'de as

the appliance and centered over the appliance.

Clearance between the cooking surface and the venti- lation hood surface MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN

24 INCHES.

• If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a mini- mum clearance of 30 inches between the cooking sur-

face and the bottom of unprotected cabinets o If a 30-inch clearance between cooking surface and

overhead combustible material or metal cabinets can-

not be maintained, protect the underside of the cabi- nets above the cooking top with not less than 1/4-inch insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not less

than 0.0122 inch thick (No 28 US. Standard gauge)

• Clearance between the cooking surface and protect- ed cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24

INCHES, The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than 1 inch to the plane of the range sides must not be less than 18 inches, (See diagram on page 2.)

Caution: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range--children climbing on the range to reach

items could be seriously injured..

WARNING

All ranges can tip and injury could result.. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach the supplied Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See page l&) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward.. The Anti-Tip device should engage a

bracket on the back wall of the range. This will prevent the range

from tipping over.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged with the bracket when you push the range back against the

wall. o For your safety, never use your range for warming or

heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen.. Top burners should not be operated without cookware on the grates. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void your warranty.

o Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance Explosions or fires could result.

• Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materi- als accumulate in or near the range

(continued next page)

Installation instructions (continued)

GENERAL

• See Dimensions and Clearances on page 2 for all rough-in and spacing dimensions. These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range.. The location of

the electrical outlet and pipe opening shown on page 5

may be adjusted to meet specific requirements.

. The range may be placed with 0" clearance (flush) at the back wall and side walls of the range.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or walt behind

the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings

around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by car- peting or woodwork.

PROTECT YOUR FLOOR

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cush- ioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood

(or similar material) as follows: When the floor cover-

ing ends at the front of the range, the area that the

range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering.. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or ser- vicing.

MODEL AND SERDALNUMBER LOCATION

The model and serial numbers are on a label located on the front frame of the range, behind either the oven door or the storage drawer.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

o Phillips screwdriver

• Pencil and ruler o Two pipe wrenches (one for backup) o 1¾" open-end or adjustable wrench

o 3/16" open-end or socket wrench o Nut driver

In addition, for LP gas conversion, you will need:

° 5/16" open-end wrench

• 1/2" open-end wrench

ADDaTIONAL MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED

- Gas line shutoff valve

° Pipe joint sealant or pipe thread tape with Teflon* that resists action of natural and LP gases

o Flexible metal appliance connector (1/2" IDI)_ A 5-

foot length is recommended for ease of installation but other lengths are acceptable. Never use an old con- nector when installing a new range..

o Flare union adapter for connection to gas supply line (3/4" or 1/2" NPT x 1/2" ID.)

o Flare union adapter for connection to pressure regu- lator on range (1/2" NPT x 1/2" !.D.)

*Teflon: Registered trademark of DuPont

PREPARATION

o Remove all tape and packaging. Be sure to remove plastic film that covers some chrome parts (around oven doors, side trim).

° Take the accessory pack out of the oven. . Check to be sure that no range parts have come

loose during shipping..

NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS

Provide Adequate Gas Supply

The range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4 inches of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10 inches of water column. Make sure the range is supplied with the type of gas for which it is designed If, at any time in the future, the range is to be supplied with a different type of gas, conversion adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician before attempting to oper- ate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas sup- plied to the regulator must be between 4 and 13 inch- es of water column For LP gas, the pressure supplied

must be between 10 and 13 inches of water column

When checking for proper operation of the regulator,

the inlet pressure must be at least t inch greater than

the operating (manifold) pressure as given above. The

pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in the supply fine regardless of

whether natural or LP gas is being used A flexible

metal appliance connector used to connect the range

to the gas supply line should have an tDo of 1/2" and

be 5 feet in length (shorter and longer lengths are acceptable) for ease of installation

Connect the Range to Gas

Before disconnecting the old range, shut off the main gas supply valve and leave it off until new hook-up has been completed

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of an AoG.A.-certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection Never use an old connector when installing a new range

To prevent gas leaks, wrap pipe thread tape with

Teflon* around, or put pipe joint compound on, a!l male (external) pipe threads

Egectrica Connections

Electrical Requirements:

120-volt, 60-Hz, properly grounded branch circuit pro- tected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time- delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions:

Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance

extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating

Grounding--IMPORTANT (Please read carefully):

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST

BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

three-prong (grounding) plug that mates with a stan-

dard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to mini-

mize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this

appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and cir-

cuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure

the receptacle is properly grounded,,

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obli- gation of the customer to have it replaced with a prop- erly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM

THE POWER CORD.

Usage Situations Where Appliance Power Cord

Will Be Disconnected INFREQUENTLY: An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit^ Do

not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the walt recep- tacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord

Sea the Openings

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and in

the floor under the range when hookups are completed.

Check Ugnition of Surface Burners

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be checked after range and gas supply lines have been carefully checked for leaks,

Push in one of the surface burner controls and turn it

to the LITE position. You will hear a snapping sound

indicating proper operation of the spark module. Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, burners should light within 4 seconds. After burner lights,

rotate knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner

in succession until all burners have been checked.

Quality of Flames:

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be

determined visually

(A) Yellow flames-- Call for service

(B) Yellow tips on outer cones-- Normal for LP gas

• If burner flames look like (A), call for service° Normal burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas you use

. With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is

normal°

Check Bgnition of Oven Burner

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and automati-

cally To operate the oven, touch BAKE pad and then

touch iNCREASE pad until "350 °'' appears in the dis-

play After 30-60 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the

display. The oven requires electrical power to operate., The

oven cannot be lit during a power outage. Gas wilt not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

tf the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the

oven burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored

Broal end Oven Burner

Air Adjustment Shutters

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners regulate the flow of air to the flames_

The air adjustment shutter for the top burner is in the center of the rear wall of the oven.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should burn steady with approximately t" btue cones and should not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle

To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning properly, remove the oven bottom and the burner baffle (see page 9). Flames should have approximately 1" blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping. (With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer cones are normal ) With the baffle in place, the flames should burn steady and should not extend past the edges of the burner baf- fle Flames should not !ift off burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter opening until

flames are stabilized.

The shutter for the bottom burner is near the back wall

behind the storage drawer Remove the storage drawer by pufling the drawer all the way out and tilting up the

front. To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the

Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter toward open or closed position as needed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NSTRUCT ONS

Read aH instructions before using this appliance.

nMPORTANT 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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires business- es to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, car-

bon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused

primarily by the incomplete combustion of natu-

ral gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners,

indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by venting with an open window or using a ventila-

tion fan or hood,

When You Get Your Range oHave the installer show you the location of

the range gas cut-off valve and how to shut it

off if necessary.

o Have your range installed and properly grounded by a quali-

fied installer in accor- dance with the Instal-

lation Instructions, Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or ser-

vice technicians,

o Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only, Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug, If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a prop- erly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an

extension cord with this appliance.

o Be sure all packing materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent

fire or smoke damage, should the packing mate- rial ignite..

o Locate range out of kitchen traffic path and

out of drafty locations to prevent poor air cir- culation.

o Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer fot" the type of gas {natural or LP), that is to be

ed in the following places:

--Oven vent at the real of the cooktop

--Air intake under the storage drawer

--Air vent at the top of the oven door o Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if

the wok has a round metal ring that is placed

over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head.. Also, it may

cause the burner to work improperly.. This may

cause a carbon monoxide level above that

allowed by current standards, resulting in a

health hazard o Foods for frying should be as dry as possi-

ble, Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over

sides of pan.

Use _east possible amount of fat for effec- tive shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is

added.

otf a combination of oils or fats wil! be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats

melt slowly,. oAlways heat "/at slowly and watch as it heats. oUse deep-fat thermometer whenever possi-

ble to prevent overheating fat beyond the smok- ing point

oUse proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain food properly,. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the range can igniter Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and will

remain cool oWhen using glass cookware, make sure it is

designed for top-of-range cooking

o Keep all ptastics

away from top burners,

o Do not leave plastic

items on the cook-

top--they may melt if

left too close to the

vent.

oDo not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to bursL

o7"0avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at

the OFF position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove a grate.

oWhen flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames

oIf range is located nea_ a window, do not use long curtains that could blow over the top burn- ers and create a fire hazard.

oIf you srn_ll gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak

Baking, B_oling and Roasting

oDo not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

o Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot ove_l. The hot air and steam

that escape can cause burns to hands, face

and eyes. o Keep oven free from grease buildup.

opUace oven shelves in desired position whle oven is cool.

Puling out shelf to the shelf-stop is a con-

venience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a

precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

o Don't heat unopened food containers in the oven, Pressure could butd up and the con- tainer could burst, causing an injury.

o Don't use ah_minum foi anywhere in the

oven except as described in this book. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to

the range.

oWhen using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions

oUse only glass cookware that is recom-

mended for use in gas ovens.

oAJways remove broiler pan from oven as soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the

pan can catch on fire if oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.

When broling, if meat is too close to the

flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to

prevent excessive flare-ups,

oMake sure broiler pan is in place correctly to reduce the possibility of grease fires.

oIf you should have a grease fire in the broil- er pan, turn off the oven and keep door closed to contain fire until it burns out.

Self-Clea,_ing Oven

oDo not clean door gasket. The door gasket is

essential for a good seaf Care should be taken not

to rub, damage or move the gasket.

Do not use oven cleaners, No commerciai oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

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

oClean only parts listed in this Use and Care Book.

oKeep range clean and free of accumulations of grease or spitovers, which may ignite.

tf You Need Se_ice oRead "The Probtem Solver" on pages 3!)

and 40 of this book,

oDon't attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specificaly recom-

mended in this book. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician°

Lighting Inst 'uctions

Surface burners on this range are lighted by electric ignition, ending the need for standing pilots with con- stantly burning flames.

In case of a power outage, you can light the pilotless

ignition surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob

to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when

lighting burners in this manner. Surface burners in use when an electrical power fail-

ure occurs will continue to operate normally.

Surface Burner Controls

The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are located on the control panel in front of the burners.

The two knobs on the left control the left front and left

rear burners The two knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners.

To Light a S .B ace Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it to LITE You will hear a little clicking

noise--the sound of the electric spark igniting the

burner

Flame will be a_most horizontal and will lift slightly away from the burner when the burner is first turned on. A blowing or hissing sound may be

heard for 30 to 60 seconds. This normal sound is due to improved injection of gas and air into the burner°

Put a pan on the burner before lighting it, or adjust the flame to match pan size as soon as it lights, and the

blowing or hissing sound will be much less noticeable

Note: o Do not operate a burner for extended periods of time

without having cookware on the grate., The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the

heat.

oCheck to be sure the burner you turned on is the one

you want to use.

o Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other

materials on them

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat

The flame size on a gas burner should match the

cookware you are using.

NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE.

Any flame larger than the

bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves

to heat the handle.

When using aluminum or aluminum-clad stainless

steel pots and pans, adjust the flame so the circle it makes is about 1/2 inch smaller than the cookware's

bottom. When boiling, use this same flame size--l/2 inch

smaller than the bottom of the cookware--no matter what the cookware is made of. Foods cook just as quickly at a gentle boil as they do at a furious, rolling boil A high boil creates steam and cooks away mois- ture, flavor and nutrition. Avoid it except for the few cooking processes that need a vigorous boil.

When frying or warming foods in stainless steel, cast iron or enamelware, keep the flame down--to about 1/2 the diameter of the pan.

When frying in glass or ceramic cookware, lower the flame even more.

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommend- ed because it heats quickly and evenly Most foods

brown evenly in an aluminum skilet Minerals in food

and water will stain but will not harm aluminum. A quick scour with a soap-filed steel wool pad after

each use keeps aluminum cookware looking shiny and new. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids for cook- ing with minimum amounts of water

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets wil give sat- isfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of

some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manu- facturer's recommendations for cooking methods..

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware-- those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots).. Glass con-

ducts heat very slowly Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either

surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distri- bution Combination metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if used at medium heat as the manu-

EHectdc Ugnition

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by

electric ignition.

To light either burner, touch the pad for the desired function and press & hold or tap INCREASE or

DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is dis- played° The burner should ignite within 60 second&

After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles--off completely, then on with a full flame--to keep the oven temperature controlled

CAUTION: DO NQT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DUR_

ING AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. The oven

or broiler cannot be tit during a power failure.. Gas will

not flow unless the glow bar is hot..

If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the

oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-tit untif power

is restored

Oven LSght

The oven light comes on automatically when the door is opened Use the switch on the lower control panel to turn the light on and off when the door is closed.

Surface Light

(On models so equipped)

Use the switch on the upper control panel to turn the surface light on and off

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop (see page 33) Do not block these openings when cooking in the oven--it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.

o The vent openings and nearby surfaces may become hot° Do not touch them.

• Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.

o Do not leave plastic

items on the cooktop --

they may melt if left too

close to the vent.

o Metal items will be-

come very hot if they are left on the cooktop and could cause burns,

o Do not leave any items on the cool(top, The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may

cause them to burst.

Oven ShehJes

The shelves are designed with stopqocks so when

placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming com- pletely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them 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 win eliminate reaching into the hot oven

To remove a shelf from

the oven, put! the shelf

toward you, tilt front end upward and pull the shelf out,

3"o reptace, place shelf on

shelf support with stop- locks (curved extension under shelf) facing up and

toward rear of oven Tilt up front and push shelf toward back of oven until it goes past "stop" on oven wall. Then lower front of shelf and push it all the way

back,

Sheff Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for normal bak-

ing and roasting--A (bot-

tom), B, C, D and E (top)

It also has a special low shelf position, (R) for roasting extra large items,

such as a large turkey

Shelf positions for cooking are suggested on Baking and Roasting pages.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass (on models so equipped). These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up..

Baking seeBakingGuideonpage24.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately

using an electronic control system. It is recommended

that you operate the range for a number of weeks

using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven's performance. If you think an adjustment is necessary, see Adjusting Oven Thermostat on page 37..

How to Set Your Range for Baking

es the set temperature, a tone will sound. Oven will continue to cook for the programmed amount of time, then shut off automatically.

Step 7: Remove food from oven. Remember, even though oven shuts off automatically, foods continue cooking after controls are off..

How to Set De ay Start and Stop

Delay Start and Stop is setting the oven timer to turn the oven on and off automatically at a later time than

the present time of day

For example: Let's say it's 2:00 and dinner time is shortly after 7:00, The recipe suggests 3 hours baking

time at 325°F Here's how: Step 1: Position the shelf or shelves in the oven If

cooking on two shelves at the same time, stagger the pans for best heat circulation.

Step 2" Close the oven door.

Step 3: Touch COOK TIME pad..

"0 HR:00" appears on dis-

play and "OVEN TIME" flashes..

Step 4" Press & hold or tap INCREASE

Oven temperature of "325 °'' appears in the display

At 4:00, the oven will turn on automatically. The word "ON" and the changing

oven temperature will be displayed as the oven heats up Oven will continue to cook for the programmed 3 hours and will shut off automatically at 7:00.

Step 8: Remove food from oven. Remember, even though oven shuts off automatically, foods continue cooking after controls are off..

Note: The low temperature zone of this range (between 150°F and 200°F) is available to keep hot cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.

When setting your oven for a delay start, never let foods such as dairy products, fish, meat, poultry, etc. sit for more than 2 hours before actual cooking begins. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteri& Be sure the oven light is off because

heat from the bulb will speed bacteria growth

ilaking Guide

1. Preheating is very important when using tem- peratures below 225°F. and when baking foods such as biscuits, cookies, cakes and other pas-

tries. Preheat the oven for at [east t0 minutes

Preheating is not necessary when roasting or for long-

time cooking of whole meals,, 2, Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly, For most con-

ventional baking, light, shiny finishes give best results

because they help prevent overbrowning For best browning results, we recommend cake pans and pie plates with dull bottom surfaces

3, Dark or non-shiny finishes and glass cookware generally absorb heat, which may result in dry, crisp crusts Reduce oven heat 25°R if lighter crusts are desired., Rapid browning of some foods can be achieved by preheating cast iron cookware,

Roasting is cooking by dry heat Tender meat or poul- try can be roasted uncovered in your oven° Roasting temperatures, which should be !ow and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.. When roasting, it is not nec- essary to sear, baste or add water to your meat.

The oven has a special

low shelf support (R) just above the oven bottom..

Use it when extra cooking

space is needed; for

example, when roasting a large turkey.

Roasting is easy, just fol-

low these steps: Step 1: Position oven shelf

on shelf support B for small

roasts (3 to 5 pounds) and

on shelf support A for larg- er roasts

Step 2: Check weight of

roast Place meat fat-

side-up or poultry breast- side-up on roasting rack in a shallow pan The melting fat wilt baste the meat Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible (Broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.)

Step 3: Touch BAKE pad,. " " appears in display and "BAKE" flashes.

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc.., can be roasted

without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes additional time per pound (allow 15 minutes additional time per pound for roasts under 5 pounds; allow more time per pound for larger roasts).

Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure even doneness. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow direc- tions given on packer's label..

Duan She f Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same timer For example: While roasting a 20-1b

turkey at position R, a second shelf may be positioned on shelf support D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. (See page 25.) Calculate the total cooking time that will enable both dishes to complete cooking at the same time Allow 15 to 20 minutes of additional cooktime for the potatoes.

liroiling

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the

food, Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be

broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum,

The oven door should be closed during broiling.

Step 1 : If meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut verti- cal slashes through both about 2" apart, If desired, fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8" thick°

Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack in broiler pan which comes with range, Always use rack so fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise juices may become hot enough to catch fire

Step 3: Position shelf on recommended shelf position as suggested in Broiling Guide on page 28

Step 4: Touch BROIL pad, " " appears in display and "BROIL" flashes

Step 5: Select LO Broil (450°E) by tap-

ping INCREASE pad once Select HI Broil (550°F.) by tapping iNCREASE pad

twice.

To change from HI Broil to

pad once

LO Broil, tap DECREASE

Step 6: Turn food only once during cooking Time foods for first side

per Broiling Guide_ Turn food, then use times

given for second side as

a guide to preferred done-

hess (Where two thick-

nesses and times are

given together, use first

times given for thinnest

food )

Step 7: When Broiling is completed touch CLEAR/OFF Serve food immedi-

ately, and leave pan outside oven to cool during meal for easiest cleaning

Questions & Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a rack in the pan?

A. Yes, Using the rack suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fail into the pan,

thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the

rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spat-

ter and smoking,

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. No, Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate, Always salt after cooking. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.,

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should?

A. Check to see if you are using the recommended shelf position, Broil for longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide Turn food only once during broil-

ing.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make cleanup easier

(continued next page)

BroilingGuide

The oven door should be closed during broiling.

1. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with your oven It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan

2. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around out- side edges of meat To slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use

tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat and

losing juice&

3. if desired, marinate meats or chicken before broil- ing. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 min- utes only

4. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges hang over sides, which could soil oven with fat drip-

ping.

5. Broiler does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if

desired.

6. Frozen Steaks can be conventionally broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1'/2

times per side.

Ca =eand C eaning

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRaC POWER IS D_SCONNECTED BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF YOUR RANGE.

Burner Grates

Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth--don't put them back on the range wet.. When replacing the grates, be sure they're positioned securely over the burners°

To get rid of burned-on food, soak the grates in a

slightly diluted liquid detergent..

Although they're durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them.. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures_

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Drip Pans

Remove the grates° Then lift out the drip pans. Drip pans can be cleaned in dishwasher or by hand--after pans cool slightly, sprinkle on detergent, wash or scour with hot water, rinse and dry.

If your range is equipped with porcelain enamel drip pans, you can clean them in the self-cleaning oven.. After wiping off boilovers that are not stuck on, place one pan upside down on each shelf.

Caution: Chrome-plated drip pans (on models so equipped) should never be cleaned in the self-clean- ing oven.

Range Top Burners

The holes in the burners of your range must be kept

clean at all times for proper ignition and

an even, unham-

".. pered flame.

You should clean

the burners routinely, especially after bad spiltovers, which could clog these holes_ Burners lift out for cleaning.

To remove burned-on food, soak the burner in a solu- tion of mild liquid detergent and water. Soak the burn-

er for 20 to 30 minutes. If the food doesn't rinse off completely, scrub it with soap and water and a brush

or plastic pad. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners because they will clog the burner openings and scratch the burners° If the holes become clogged, clean them with a toothpick..

Before putting the burner back, shake out excess water and dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes.. Then place it back in the range, making sure it is properly seated and level.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible

materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance

Lift-upCooktop

There are a number of precautions you can take to avoid marring the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull Don't slide heavy pans across it. if you spill foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content, clean them up as soon as possible. If allowed to set, these foods could cause a dull spot.. Also, no matter how stubborn the food stain, never use harsh abrasive cleansers. They could permanently damage the enamel surface.. We recom- mend a cleanser such as Soft Scrub '_'brand cleanser* or a similar cleaning product.

You may notice slightly bluish or darker spots in the porcelain burner well area around the grate support bumps. These are normal..

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire..

To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up

To raise the cooktop:

1. Be sure burners are turned off..

2. Remove the grates_

3. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.

/ii Y

Dual support rods will hold the cooktop up while you clean

underneath it After cleaning under

the cooktop with hot, soapy water and

a clean cloth, lower the cooktop Be careful not to pinch your fingers

*Soft Scrub ¢'is a registered trademark of the Clorox Company

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable to make the interior more accessible, if desired

Note: The oven door is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door..

To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special "stop" position

that win hold the door open Grasp firmly on

each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges

Note: Be careful not to place hands between the spring hinge and the oven frame as the spring hinge could snap back and pinch your fingers

Wash with hot, soapy water. For stubborn spots, use a

solution of vinegar and water. Do not immerse the

door in water.. To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the

"out" position Position the slots in the bottom of the

door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door

slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same time

Oven She ves

You may clean the oven shelves with a mild abrasive

cleanser, following manufacturer's directions. After

cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry

with a dry cloth To remove heavy, burned-on soil, you

may use soapy metal pads, following manufacturer's

directions. After scrubbing, wash with soapy water,

rinse and dry.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To

make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spitlovers This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with high acid content Hot fruit fillings or foods that are acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface.

If a spiIlover does occur on the oven bottom, allow the oven to cool first You can then clean the oven bottom

with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser or

soap-filled abrasive pads. Rinse well to remove any

soap before self-cleaning

BroiBer Pan & Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack and carefully pour off the grease Wash and rinse the broil- er pan and rack in hot, soapy water.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dish- cloth.. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose while

the meal is being served

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack in the oven.

ControD Panel

Clean up any spills or spatters with a damp cloth

Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Clean touch pads with mild liquid dish detergent and a

soft cloth Rub touch pads lightly, CAUTION: DO NOT

USE ABRASIVES OF ANY KIND ON THE CONTROL

PANEL. The lettering on the pads is sensitive to abra- sives and pressure.

Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier clean-

ing. To remove knob, pull it straight off the stem. If

knob is difficult to remove, place a towel or dishcloth

between the knob and control panel and pull gently. Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak_

C eaning under the Range

The area under the range can be reached easily for

cleaning by removing the bottom drawer To remove,

pull drawer out alf the way, tilt up the front and remove

iL To replace, insert glides at back of drawer beyond

stop on range glides. Lift drawer if necessary to insert

easily.. Let front of drawer down, then push in to close.

Oven Air Vents

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with cor-

rect combustion.. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door and under the storage drawer.

Minor Adjustments You Can Make

Adjusting Oven Thermostat

When cooking a food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may "drift" from their factory settings° Differences of 5 to 10 minutes between the cooking times of old ovens and those of new ovens are not unusual. Since the thermostat on

your new oven has been set correctly at the factory, it is more likely to be accurate than the thermostat on the oven it replaced

If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself_ To decide how much to change the thermostat, set the oven temperature 25°E higher or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then bake The results of this "test" should give you an idea of how much the thermostat should be change&

To adjust thermostat:

1. Touch BAKE pad

2. Select an oven tempera- ture between 500°F and 550°E

3. Immediately, before BAKE indicator stops flashing, press and hold the BAKE pad for about 4 seconds The display will change to the oven adjustment display.

4. The oven thermostat can be adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter or (-) 35°E cooler

Use the INCREASE or DECREASE pads to select

the desired change in the red display.

5. When you have made the adjustment, press the CLEAR/OFF pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect Broil or Clean temperatures. It will be remembered when power is

removed.

BroJ and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shut'lets

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners regulate the flow of air to the flames,

To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter to allow

more or less air into the burner tube as needed_

The air adjustment shutter for the top burner is in the

center of the rear wall of the oven

The flames for the top (broil) burner should burn steady with approximately 1" blue cones and should not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle°

To determine if the bottom burner flames are prop- er, remove the oven bottom (see page 9) and the burner baffle..

Remove Screw

To remove the burner baffle, use a nut driver to remove the 1/4" hex head screw shown in the illustra-

tion above. Do not remove any other screws_ Pull baf- fle straight out until it is free from the slot that holds it at rear of oven.r

The shutter for the bottom burner is near the back wall behind the storage drawer..

The flames should have 1/2" to 3/4" blue cones with no yellow tipping. When the baffle is back in place, the

flames will resettle Visually check the color of the flames every six

months. If they look like illustration (A) on page 39, call for service.,
