OPERATION

OvenCookingTips

it is normal to have some odor when using your oven for the first time To

help eliminate this odor, ventilate

the room by opening a window

or using a vent hood

IMPORTANT: Never cover the oven

bottom or oven rack with aluminum

foil. Improper use can cause poor heat flow, poor baking results, and may damage the oven finish To

prevent staining from spillovers, you may place a piece of aluminum foil or

a cookie sheet below foods which may spill over

Preheating is bringing the temperature up to the temperature you will be using during baking. Let the oven preheat thoroughly when recipes call for preheating

in the back of the oven you will notice

a small tube This is a heat sensor that maintains the temperature of the

oven. Never move or bend this tube.

11t oven

H]_._;8_ Temperature Sensor

The low temperature zone of your oven (between 170 ° and 200°F) is available to keep hot cooked foods

warm. However, foods should not be kept at these temperatures longer

than 2 hours

The oven vent is located under the control panel This area could

become hot during oven use The vent is important for proper air circulation, Hever block this

vent, Oven Vent

_1 Location

Opening the door often to check foods will cause heat loss and poor

baking results

When using your convenient Delay Start operation, foods such as dairy

products, fish, poultry, etc., should never sit more than 1 hour before

cooking. Room temperatures and the heat from the oven light promote bacterial growth

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products

such as butter or margarine (80% fat by weight - the federal requirement for

products labeled "margarine")You will get poor results if cakes, pies,

pastries, cookies or candies are made

with low-fat spreads. Low-fat spreads

OPERATION

OvenCookingTips

Margarine (cont,)

contain less fat and more water,, The high moisture content of these

spreads affects the texture and flavor of favorite baked recipes ]he lower the fat content of a spread product,

the more noticeable these differences become, To ensure best results, use margarine, butter or stick spreads

containing at least 70% vegetable oil

The Oven Temperature Sensor at the

back of the oven continuously senses and controls the temperature inside the

oven. To keep a constant set

temperature, the elements will cycle or turn on and off during cooking

If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1 to 1 1/2" of air space around it. Place pans so one is not directly above the other

perfect for cakes and quick breads that

need a light brown crust

GLASS, DARK NON-STICK OR

DARKENED BY AGE BAKEWARE,

absorb heat, and can be used for yeast breads, pie crust or foods that need a

brown crust The oven temperature,

when using these pans should be

reduced by 25°F

The oven racks are designed with stop

locks, a convenience as wefl as a safety precaution The guides have a bump to prevent the racks from tilting when racks are pulled out of the oven

OPERATION

Broiling

Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the upper element. The oven

door should remain open to the broil stop position during broiling.

The closer you place foods to the broil element, the faster foods brown

on tile outside yet remain red to pink in the center

Moving meats away from the element

wilt allow the meat to cook to the center while browning on the outside

Cook side 1 at least 2 minutes longer than side 2 If your oven is connected

to 208 volts, you may want to use a

higher rack position andlor broil

foods longer The size, weight, thickness, starting

temperature and your preference of the doneness of the meat will affect

broiling This chart is based on meats

at refrigerator temperature

It is not necessary to preheat the

oven when broiling Use the broiler

pan and grid that came with your

oven Both are designed for proper

drainage of fat and liquids

be molded tightly to

__ f foil is used it must

the grid and slits cut

into the foil to match

those of the grid, This allows fats and liquids to drain into the broiler pan,

preventing fire and excessive smoke.

Always remove the pan and grid from the oven,

Storing or forgetting a soiled broiler pan in the oven is a potential

smoke or fire hazard,

The US Department of Agriculture recommends to cook meat and

poultry thoroughly--meat to at least

an INTERNAL temperature of 160° F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180° F Cooking to

these temperatures usually protects

against food-borne illness
