ENERGY-SAVING IDEAS
Surface Cooking
Use lids when sudace cooking A lid traps steam and uses it to speed up the cooking
process. If you have a pressure cooker or vegetabte steamer, use it, You'll waste fewer
v[lanfin5, save time and cut energy cosls,
Use medium-weight, flat bottomed pans that match the flame size, Choose pans made of
metals that conduct heat well
When cooking on a surface burner, use as little _,,'ater as possihIe to reduce cooking time
Oven Cooking
Preheat the o,,en only when a recipe tells you. Put roasqts and casseroles into acold oven',
then turn on the oven,
Opening the oven door o['tea io check on foods wastes energy.
Use the oven to prepare complete meals, For instance, start a ro_st, add vegelables when
the meat is half-cooked, and then wanu rolls or desert after the main dishes are cooked.
'l'haw frozen foods betore cooking. Thav,'ed food requires less cooking energy than frozen
food,
Make it a habit to turn the o's,on off before you removing the cooked food.

The orifice hood on the oven safety valve regulates file flow of gas to the oven burner.
This valve adjusts in The same manlier as the top burner valves and is located at the base
of the oven burner in the broiler compartment of the range. To gain access, simply
remove the bioitez section. When set for LP, the orifice hood is scmveed snugly on lhe
valve. To adjust for use on Natural Gas, unscrew the orifice hood until the proper flow
of gas is obtained.

OPERATION OF RANGE
Using Your Range
The range may have only part of the features described within this martt_aL If ),our range
has some features which me not covered in this manual, _b_e features _ili be covered in
other enclosed ][teratu_.
Top Burner Operallon
Note: When belling food, the highest lempe_ture that can be r_ched is the boiling point
_en the liquid starts to boil decrease the size of the _ame unit1 you reach the minimum
flame that will hold the boil This will sa_,e gas° It will also lessen the possibility of
bu_ing food or boiling food over, and help to keep your kitchen cooler. Use stable
utensils _,i_h fl _! bottoms and always place the utensil on the burner grate before llght[ng
the burner, Unstable or iounded bottom utensils wilt riot contact properly with the grate
and will affect the cooking efficiency° Select utensils large enough to avoid spitlovers, but
remember, over-sized utensils (diameters exceeding 8 1F2") cart cause the range finish to
discolor, craze or chip. Damage caused by oversized utensils, such as those sometimes
used in cabining, are not covered by the wan'anb', The finish has _ea manufactured to a
commercially _cceptable standard and it_ condition is dependent upon the care of the user.
Top Burner Valves
The top burrter flame size should be adjusted so tha_is de,es not extend beyond _he edge
of the cooking utensil, As a matter of sa_eU, it's urged ttmt you comply with these
instructions.
A high flame on a surface burner is bolh inefficient and unsafe. The flame should always
be adjusted so that it is no larger than the bottom of the pan, Fluctuations in flame size
could be caused by pressure vadatlons_ improperly positioned burners, damage or debris_
Preheating
Heat the overt to the desired temperature before placing the food irt the oven. Preheat for
10 to 12 minutes.
Opening Oven Door
Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Arr_anging Oven Racks
The overt racks should be arranged before the oven is turned "ON." Place the zacks so the
food is centered in the oven,,
Temperature Selection
It is important to select to proper lemperature setting, Never set the d_a! to a higher degree
th_n needed with the intention of ]owering the setting at a later lime, This will not speed
up the action, It can cause the oven to _'cle slower and cause the temperatures to vary so
that cooking results may be unsa_isfaetoi_; Imagine that the control has three sections:
Low Temperature_ Bake and Broil.
The Low Temperature setting has a temperature range of 14tY'Fto 200°F. 'Yhis setting is
used to keep food at serving temperamre_ The bake cycle is from 250_ to 550"E This cart
be termed as the very low rauge (250_F to 275"F) to extremely hot (500" to 525"F).. The
moderate baking range is 350"1: to 4:25°E

Baking
When baking follow the recipe i_structions. Use correct ingredients, measure them
carefufl:r; and use Ihe correct type and size _tensil suggestect [n the recipe, Remember to
preheat properly, Avoid frequetlt opening of the oven door during preheating and baking.
+,\_en baking cakes in _lass baking dishes, lower the oven temperature 25°F to prevent
browning oF the bottom and sides before lt_e top becomes brown,
Also when using glass bakeware it would be better to increase the preheat time to have
exact stabilization of the oven's temperature, To do so _dlow 20 minutes time for
temperatures up to 350T and 30 minutes for temperatures up to 425°F, Avoid opening the
door as much as possible,
Oven Racks
The oven racks should be arranged before the oven knob is turned to an "ON" position.
Place the racks so tl0e foo_ Js centered in the oven, not the rack.
"_Vtteu more than one utensil is used, be sure to stagger them ailowing space between each
one. Dt_ not allow the utensil to touch arty part of'the oven, especially the glass window.
It is best to use two racks nud place food so one utensi! is not directly over another
Rack Removal
Pull t_',eoven rack fozward and lift up on the front of the rack so it w_]l clear the rack
keeper,
To reptace the oven rack, guide the attg]ed rear portion of the rack under the rack keeper
and sJide the rack to the rear.
N_ver cover the ove_aracks with aluminum foil. Such practices will trap heat and cause
intense heat in spots which usually give poor results. It cart damage the porcelain finish
