Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking

■

area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

■ Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements

or surface burners at the same time.

■ On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.

■ On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit

is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element will be shortened. See “Assistance or Service” for ordering instructions.

■ For more information, contact your local U.S. Government

Agricultural Department Extension Office. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a wellfitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door and element or burner cycling may give incorrect readings.

The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: Never place food or bakeware directly on the oven

door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain

finish.

RACKS

Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks

with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. To move a

rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift

out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide.

Meat Thermometer

On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.

Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion

■

of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat

■

¹⁄₂ in. (1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops, cook the meat or poultry longer.

Check all meat in two or three places.

■

1. Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Doing so will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

OVEN USE

Baking and Roasting

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat conditioning time to end before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.

To Bake or Roast:

1. Press BAKE. The bake oven indicator light will light up.

2. Set the temperature (optional).

Press TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a temperature other than 350°F (177ºC) in 5° (3ºC) amounts. The bake range can be set between 170°F (77ºC) and 500°F (260ºC).

When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F (77ºC), no preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display.

The preheat conditioning time will not change if the temperature is reset before the countdown time ends.

If baking and roasting while the minute timer is counting down, the set temperature can be seen for 5 seconds by pressing BAKE.

3. Press START/ENTER. The oven control automatically sets preheating times based

on the oven temperature selected.

The temperature can be changed after this step. START/ ENTER does not need to be pressed again.

After the oven is preheated and the countdown time is finished, a 1-second tone will sound, the ON indicator light will go off and the set temperature will appear on the display.

4. Press OFF/CANCEL when finished.

Page 12

Preheating

After START/ENTER is pressed, the oven will enter a timed preheat conditioning. “PrE” and the time countdown will appear on the display. When the preheat conditioning time ends, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display.

Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven temperature to differ.

Waiting an additional ten minutes after the preheat conditioning time ends to put food in the oven is suggested when baking foods with leavening ingredients, such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda and eggs.

Broiling and Custom Broiling

BROILER

The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and grid roll out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and oven doors closed.

Do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door while it is

■

open.

■ Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler

door during broiling.

Do not use broiler drawer for storage.

■

Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.

■

It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.

For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The

■

bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on

the edges to prevent curling.

Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing

■

food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing

■

the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

To CUSTOM BROIL:

Changing the temperature while custom broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures. If food is cooking too quickly, the broiling temperature can be lowered by pressing the TEMP (▼) pad.

Press CUSTOM BROIL.

Press the TEMP (▲) or (▼) pads to set a temperature between

300°F (149°C) and 525°F (273°C.) Press START/ENTER.

Press OFF/CANCEL when finished custom broiling.

BROILING CHART

For best results, broiler pan should be rotated the same time the food is turned. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes.

OVEN USE

Baking and Roasting

Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

To B a k e o r R o a s t:

1. Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired

temperature setting. The OVEN ON and OVEN HEATING lights will turn on and the set temperature will appear in the display for 5 seconds.

On some models, set the oven selector to BAKE and turn the oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature setting. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn on and will turn off once the oven is preheated.

2. Place food in oven. The bake and roasting elements will turn on and off to keep

the oven temperature at the setting. The OVEN ON indicator light(s) will turn on and off with the elements.

3. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF when finished. On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven

temperature control knob to OFF. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn off.

Broiling

DROP DOWN BROILER (on some models)

The broiler is located below the oven door. Always broil with the broiler and oven doors closed.

Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is

■

designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.

■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The

bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on

■

the edges to prevent curling. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin

■

cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned. You should rotate the broiler pan back to the front at the same time you turn the foods.

Do not step on or apply weight to the broiler door when it is

■

open. This could damage the door. After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing

■

the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before broiling, position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in on the broiler bottom (see the following graphic for broiler pan positions). It is not necessary to preheat the broiler before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Close the broiler door.
