Using the surface unit controls
The Surface Unit Control Knobs must be pushed in before turning
them. This helps avoid turning them on accidentally when wiping off the
Control Panel. And it helps keep small children from turning them on. You
must push in on them...then turn to the setting you want.
A design by each knob tells which unit is turned on by that knob.
(For example, [ . ] shows that the right front unit.. .the one closest to you
on your right.. will heat when you push in and turn that knob.)
The knob may be set anywhere between “HI” and “OFF.” As you
use your surface units. you will get used to the settings that match your
pots, pans and favorite foods the best.
As a guide. the setting should cook at about the following heats:
HI - To start most foods cooking. To bring water to a boil.
MED-HI -To hold a rapid boil; to fry pancakes or chicken.
MED - To make gravy, puddings and icings; to cook large quan-
tities of vegetables.
MED-LO -To keep food cooking after starting it at a higher setting.
LO - To keep food warm until ready to serve. You will notice
that you can set the heat higher or lower within the LO
+? ] to help keep food at the temperature you
band I
want.
The Signal Light will glow whenever a Surface Unit is on. Be
sure this light is off when you have finished cooking.
Using the oven controls
Baking:
First-Follow the dlrections on page 6 for “Positioning Oven
Racks.”
Second-Turn the Oven Selector Knob to “BAKE.”
Third-Turn the Oven Temperature Control Knob to the baking
temperature you want. The Oven Signal Light will glow while the oven is
heating. When this light goes off, the oven has heated to the temperature
you set.
Fourth-Place food in oven. The heating elements turn off and
on during baking to keep the oven at the temperature you set. The Oven
Signal Light will glow when the heating elements are on.
Fifth-When the baking is done, turn both the Oven Temperature
and Oven Selector Knobs to “OFF.”
Broiling:
First-Follow the dlrections on page 5 for placing the meat at the
right distance from the Broil Element.
Second-Turn the Oven Selector to “BROIL.”
Third-Turn the Oven Temperature Control Knob to “BROIL” or
turn it to a lower temperature (see “Variable Broil Feature.”
on
page

Fourth---Put the broiler pan on the oven rack
Fifth-Keep the oven door open about four inches (10 cm).
There is a stop in the hinges to hold it there. The Oven Signal Light will
glow while the broil element is on.

Variable Broil Feature:
1
You might want to broil some foods slower than others. Broiling
can be slowed down by setting a lower temperature on the Oven Temperature Control Knob instead of “BROIL.” Using a lower temperature will
cause the broil element to turn on and off during the broiling so that the
food broils more slowly.
When the Oven Temperature Control Knob is on BROIL, the Broil
Element heats all the time Set the temperature lower and it heats some of
the time. The lower the temperature setting, the shorter are the periods of
heating.
NOTE: The Oven Selector must be in the “BROIL” position in
order for the Broil Element to heat.
Resetting the Oven Temperature Control:
Does your neLc oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven?
The temperatures m older ovens often shift very gradually, getting hotter
or colder without the user really noticing the change. Your new oven is
properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, but when compared
to your old range. the new design may give you different baking results. If
you think that the temperature setting on your range needs to be hotter or
colder. you can adjust the Oven Temperature Control Knob by yourself.
To adjust the setting, first pull the Oven Temperature Control Knob
straight off. On the back, just across from the locking screw. are a row of
notches on the black part of the knob and one tooth on the chrome part.
To set your oven about lO”F(5”C) cooler. loosen the locking screw
about two full turns and move the row of notches one notch closer to
“LO.” To set your oven about 10cF(5”C) warmer. move the row of
notches one notch closer to “HI.” Each notch equals about lO’F(5”C).
Tighten the locking screw and put the knob back on the control
panel
