oCook fresh vegetableswith a minimumamountof waterin

covered pan. oWatchfoods when bringing them

quicklytocookingtemperatures at

high heat. When foodreaches cookingtemperature,reduce heat immediatelyto lowest settingthat willkeep it cooking.

Use residual heat with surface

~Preheat oven only when necessary.Most foodswill cook

satisfactorilywithoutpreheating.

If you find preheating is necessary,

watch the indicatorlight, and put food in the oven p~omptlyafter the light goes out.

~Always turn oven off before removing food.

eDuring baking, avoidfrequent

door openings. Keep door open

as short a time as possible if it is opened.

@Cook complete oven meals instead ofjust one food item. Potatoes, other vegetables, and

some desserts will cook together with.a main-dish casserole, meat loaf, chicken or roast. Choose foods that cook at the same temperature and in approximately the same amount of time.

~Use residual heat in the oven

whenever possible to finish

cooking casseroles, oven

surface cooking, the use of pots extending more than one inch beyond the edge of the surface unit’s drip pan is not recommended. However, when canning with a \vater-bathor pressure canner,

large-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water

Q. Can I use special cooking equipment, like an orientalwok, on any smface unit?

A. Cookware withoutflat surfaces

is not recommended. The life of the surface units can be shortened and the range top can be damaged from the high heat needed for this type of cooking.

Q. Why

amI notgettingtheheat 1needfrommysurfaceunits even

though I have the bobs on

the right setting?

A. After turning surfaceunits off

and making sure they are cool, check to make sure that your plugin units are securely fastened into the surface connection.

Q.‘Wy dm mycookwaretit

whenI placeitonthesurfaceunit?

A. Because the surfaceunit or the

cookwareis notflat. Make sure that the “feet” on your surface units are sittingtightly in the range top indentationandthe drip pan is flat on the range surface.

Q. ‘Whyis the

incanning

1, Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface unit.

If your

rangeor itslocationdoesnotallow thecannertobe centeredonthe surfaceunit,use smaller-diameter

potsfor goodcanningresults.

2. Forbestresultsusecannerswith

flat bottoms. Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) don’t make good contact with the surface unit and take a long time to boil water.

Flat-bottom canners are

mmmmmded.

3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. Reliablerecipes andprocedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of

glassjars forcanning,suchasBall

ovenshelves

....-.

The shelvesare designed with stop-locksso when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completelyout 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 shelfback into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove the shelf from the oven,

pulltheshelftowardyou, tiltfrontendupward,andpullthe shelfout.

TOreplace, place the shelf on the appropriate shelf supportwith stop-

locks (curved extensionof shelf) facing up and toward rear of oven. Tilt the front end upward and push the shelf toward back of oven until it goes past the “stop” on oven wall. Then lower front of shelf, and

push it all the way back.

M’a delayed Cooking operation is desired:

1. Push OVEN TIME button.

2. Set length of baking time with SET knob.

3. Push STOP TIME button.

4. Turn SET knob to time of day when baking shouldbe completed. Do not set a stop time that is less than the length of cookingtime

When stop time is reached, the End-of-Cycle Tone will sound and the oven will turn off.

NOTE: Foods that are highly perishable such as mills,eggs,

fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven

light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

NOTE: You can push the STOP TIME button to find out when the oven will turn off.

If a delayed self-cleaning oven operation is desired, see the self” clean section of this book.

BatingTips

~Follow a tested recipe and measure the ingredientscarefully. If you are using a package mix, followlabel directions.

eDo not open the oven door during a baking operation—heat

willbe

lost and the baking time might need to be extended.This could cause poor baking results. If you must open the door, open it

putially--only3 or 4 inches—and

close it as quickly as possible.

Questions(kAnswers -

Q. Whenbroiling,is it necessary to alwaysuse a rack in the pm?

A. Yes.Using the rack suspends

thuskeepingmeatdrier.Juicesare protectedbytherackandstay cooler,thuspreventingexcessive

spatterandsmoking.

Q.ShouldI salt the meatbefore

A. No. Salt draws out thejuices

and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking.Turn

A..In some areas, the power

QuestionsandAnswers

Q. Why won’t my ovenclean immediately even thoughI set the controls correctly?

A. Check to be sure the latch

handle is moved to the right.

Q. Can I use commercialoven

cleaners on any part of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should

be used around any part of this

oven. If you do use them and do not wipe the oven absolutely clean, the residue can scar the

oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. ICanI clean the Woven Gasket around the oven door?

A. Yes,but carefully, and only with a ciean sponge to soak the soiled area with hydrogen

peroxide.

Q. After having just used the

oven, the IA3CKED light came on and I could not move the Mch handle. Why?

A. After several continuous hightemperature bakings or broilings,

the LOCKED light may come on. The oven door can’t be latched for self-cleaning while the LOCKED

light is on. If this happens, let the oven cooi until the LOCKED light goes off. Then the oven door can

be latched for self-cleaning.

Q. What shodd I do if excessive

smoking occurs during cleaning?

during the first few cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

Whatcauses the hair-like

lines on the enameled surface of

my oven? A. This is a normal condition,

resulting from heating and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my
