IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Oven
• Stand away from range when
opening oven door. Hot air or
steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
•Don't heat unopened food
containers in the oven. Pressure
could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
•Keep oven vent duct
unobstructed.
.Keep oven free from grease
buildup.
.Place oven shelf in desired
position while oven is cool. If
shelves must be handled when hot,
do not let pot holder contact
heating units in the oven.
.Pulling out shelf to the shelf
stop is a convenience in lifting
heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from
touching hot surfaces of the door
or oven walls.
•Do not use aluminum foil to
line oven bottom or drip pans
except as suggested in manual.
hnproper installation of these
liners may result in electric shock
or fire.
.When using cooking or
roasting bags in oven, follow the
manufacturer's directions.
•Do not use your oven to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they
can catch fire.
•Be sure the vent duct is not
covered and is in place. Its
absence during cooking could
damage range parts and wiring.
Surface Cooking Units
•Use proper pan size--This
appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different
size. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The
use of undersized cookware will
expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of cookware to
burner will also improve efficiency.
.Never leave surface units
unattended at HI heat settings.
Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Be sure drip pans and vent
ducts are not covered and are in
place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range parts
and wiring.
.Don't use aluminum foil to line
drip pans or anywhere in the oven
except as described in this book.
Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the range.
.Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service;
others may break because of the
sudden change in temperature. See
section on Surface Cooking for
suggestions.
.To minimize the possibility of
burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned
toward the center of the range
without extending over nearby
surface units.
.Always turn surface unit to
OFF before removing cookware.
.Keep an eye on foods being
fried at HI or MEDIUM HI
heat settings.
•To avoid the possibility of a
burn or electric shock, always be
certain that the controls for all
surface units are at OFF position
and all coils are cool before
attempting to lift or remove
the unit.
° Don't immerse or soak
removable surface units. Don't
put them in a dishwasher.
.When flaming foods are under
the hood, turn the fan off. The
fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
.Foods for frying should be as
_rOV_Spn_d.hlo_ Frost. oILfrozen
or moisture on tresh roods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over sides of pan.
.Use little fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying.
Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food
is added.
.If a combination of oils or fats
will be used in frying, stir
together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
• Always heat fat slowly, and
watch as it heats.
•Use deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.

Energy-Saving Tips
Surface Cooking
° Use cookware of medium-weight
aluminum, with tight-fitting
covers, and flat bottoms which
completely cover the heated
portion of the surface unit.
.Cook fresh vegetables with a
minimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
.Watch foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at
high heat. When food reaches
cooking temperature, reduce heat
immediately to lowest setting that
will keep it cooking.
.Use residual heat with surface
cooking whenever possible. For
example, when cooking eggs in
their shell, bring water and eggs to
boil, then turn control knob to OFF
position and cover cookware with
lid to complete the cooking.
.Always turn surface unit off
before removing cookware.
Oven Cooking
.Preheat oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating, If
you find preheating is necessary,
watch the indicator light, and put
food in oven promptly after the
light goes out.
.Always turn oven OFF before
removing food.
.During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open
as short a time as possible if it
is opened.
.Cook complete oven meals
instead of just 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 meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to a warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.

Surface Cooking
See Surface Cooking Guide.
Surface Cooking with
Infinite Heat Controls
At both OFF and HI positions,
there is a slight niche so control
"clicks" at those positions; "click"
on HI marks the highest setting;
the lowest setting is LO. In a quiet
kitchen, you may hear slight
"clicking" sounds during cooking,
indicating heat settings selected are
being maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings
always shows a quicker change
than switching to lower settings.
How to Set the Controls
i|lll
Step 1: Grasp control knob and
push in.
Step 2: Turn either clockwise or
counterclockwise to desired heat
setting.
Control must be pushed into set
only from OFF position. When
control is in any position other
than OFF, it may be rotated
without pushing in.
Be sure you turn control to OFF
when you finish cooking. An
indicator light will glow when
ANY heat on any surface unit is on.
Cooking Guide for
Using Heat Settings
HI--Quick start for cooking; bring
water to boil.
MEDIUM HI (setting halfway
between HI and MED)--Fast fry,
pan broil; maintain fast boil on
large amount of food.
MED--Saute and brown; maintain
slow boil on large amount of food.
MEDIUM LO (setting halfway
between MED and LO)--Steam
rice, cereal; maintain serving
temperature of most foods.
LO--Cook after starting at HI;
cook with little water in covered
pall.
NOTE:
1. At HI, MEDIUM HI, never
leave food unattended. Boilovers
cause smoking; greasy spillovers
may catch fire.
2. At MEDIUM LO, LO, melt
chocolate, butter on small unit.

Questions & Answers
'5- May I can foods and
preserves on my surface units?
A. Yes, but only use cookware
designed for canning purposes.
Check the manufacturer's
instructions and recipes for
preserving foods. Be sure canner is
flat-bottomed and fits over the
center of the surface unit. Since
canning generates large amounts of
steam, be careful to avoid burns
from steam or heat. Canning should
only be done on surface units.
Q. Can I cover my drip pans
with foil?
A. No. Clean as recommended in
Cleaning Guide.
Q. Can I use special cooking
equipment, like an oriental wok,
on any surface unit?
A. Cookware without flat surfaces
is not recommended. The life of
the surface units can be shortened
and the cooktop can be damaged
from the high heat needed for this
type of cooking.
Q. Why am I not getting the heat
I need from my surface units
even though I have the knobs on
the right setting?
A. After turning surface units off
and making sure they are cool,
check to make sure that your plug-
in units are securely fastened into
the surface connection.
Q. Why does my cookware tilt
when I place it on the surface unit?
A. Because the surface unit is not
flat. Make sure that the "feet" on
your surface units are sitting
tightly in the cooktop indentation
and the drip pail is flat on the range
surface.
Q. Why is the porcelain finish on
my cookware coming off
A. If you set your surface unit
higher than required for the
cookware material, and let the
cookware sit too long, the
cookware's finish may smoke,
crack, pop or burn, depending on
the pot or pan. Also, cooking small
amounts of dry food may damage
the cookware's finish.
Home Canning Tips
Canning should be done on
surface units only.
In 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
water-bath or pressure canner,
large-diameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure)
are not harmful to cooktop surfaces
surrounding the surface units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE
LARGE-DIAMETER CANNERS
OR OTHER LARGE-DIAMETER
POTS FOR FRYING OR
BOILING FOODS OTHER
THAN WATER. Most syrup or
sauce mixtures--and all types of
frying--cook at temperatures
much higher than boiling water.
Such temperatures could
eventually harm cooktop surfaces
irrounding surface units.
Observe Following Points
in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the surface unit. If your
range or its location does not allow
the canner to be centered on the
surface unit, use smaller-diameter
pots for good canning results.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because they
don't make enough contact with
the surface unit and take too long
to boil water.
RIGHT WRONG
3. When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable sources.
Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the
manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as Ball and Kerr;
and the United States Department
of Agriculture Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid burns
from steam or heat, be careful
when. canning.
NOTE: If your house has low
voltage, canning may take longer
than expected, even though
directions have been carefully
followed. The process time will be
shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for
fastest heating of large quantities
of water.

Cookware Tips
1. Use medium- or heavy-weight
cookware. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat faster than other
metals. Cast iron and coated cast
iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at
low to medium heat settings. Steel
pans may cook unevenly if not
combined with other metals.

not stir last few minutes.
When set, fold in half.
Fresh fruit: Use 1/4 to 1/2
cup water per pound of fruit.
Dried fruit: Use water as
package directs. Time
depends on whether fruit has
been presoaked. If not. allow
more cooking time.
Meat can be seasoned and
floured before it is browned,
if desired. Liquid variations
for flavor could be wine, fruit
or tomato juice or meat broth.
Timing: Steaks I to 2 inches:
I to 2 hours. Beef Stew: 2 to
3 hours. Pot Roast: 2'/_to
4 hours.
Pan frying is best for thin
steaks and chops. If rare is
desired, pre-heat skillet
before adding meat.
10

2. To conserve the most cooking
er ', pans should be flat on the
bc a, have straight sides and
tight fitting lids. Match the size
of the saucepan to the size of the
surface unit. A pan that extends
more than one inch beyond the
edge of the trim ring will trap heat
causing discoloration on chrome
trim rings ranging from blue to
dark grey.
3. Deep Fat Frying. Do not overfill
cookware with fat that may spill
over when adding food. Frosty
foods bubble vigorously. Watch
foods frying at high temperatures.
Keep range and hood clean from
accumulated grease.

Baking
Vour oven temperature is controlled
cry accurately using an electronic
control system. We recommend
that you operate the range for a
number of weeks using the time
given on recipes as a guide to
become familiar with your new
oven' s performance. If you think
an adjustment is necessary, see
Adjusting Oven Thermostat section.
Your new range allows you to set
temperatures as low as 150° but
these low temperatures are intended
to be used after cooking to keep the
hot food warm. Low temperatures
will not kill all bacteria and
therefore are not recommended for
use until bacteria have been killed
by higher temperatures.
How to Set Your Range
for Baking

Delay Start and Stop is setting the
oven timer to turn the oven on and
off automatically at a later time
than the present time of day.
For example: Let's say it's 2:00
and dinner time is shortly after
7:00. The recipe suggests 3 hours
baking time at 325°K Here's how:
Step 1: Position the shelf or
shelves in the oven. If cooking on
two shelves at the same time,
stagger the pans for best heat
circulation.
Step 2: Close the oven door.
Step 4: Fo_ 3hours oI cooking

Step 5: Press STOP TIME pad
"5:00'" appears on the display and
"STOP TIME" flashes. The control
automatically sets Stop Time by
adding the Cook Time to the time
of day. In this example, the time of
day is 2:00 and the Cook Time is 3
hours. Adding 3 hours to the time
of day equals 5:00.
Step 8: Press DECREASE pad.
"350 °'' appears in the display'.
Press DECREASE pad until

Roasting
Roasting is cooking by dry heat.
Tender meat or poultry can be
roasted uncovered in your oven,
Roasting temperatures, which
should be low and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum. When
roasting, it is not necessary to
sear, baste, cover or add water
to your meat.
Roasting is easy; just follow these
steps:
Step 1: Position oven shelf at (B)
position for small size roast (3 to 5
lbs.) and at (A) position for larger
roasts.
Step 2: Check weight of roast.
Place meat fat-side-up or poultry
breast-side-up on roasting rack in
a shallow pan. The melting fat
will baste the meat. Select a
pan as close to the size of meat
as possible.
Do not cover. Do not stuff poultry
until just before roasting. Use
meat thermometer for more
accurate doneness (do not place
thermometer in stuffing) or refer to
"Approximate Roasting Time" in
the Roasting Guide in this section.
Step 3: Press BAKE pad.
Step 4: Press INCREASE or
DECREASE pad until desired"
temperature is displayed.
The word "ON" and the changing
oven temperature will be displayed
as the oven heats up. When the
oven reaches the set temperature
a tone will sound.
To change oven temperature during
Bake cycle, press BAKE pad and
then INCREASE or DECREASE
pad to get new temperature.
Remove fat and drippings as
necessary. Baste as desired.
Step 5: Press CLEAR/OFF when
baking is finished and then remove
food from oven.
Step 6: Most meats continue to
cook slightly while standing, after
being removed from the oven.
Standing time recommended for
roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes
them easier to carve.
Remember that food will continue
to cook in the hot oven and therefore
should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has
been reached.
Internal temperature will rise
about 5° to 10"F.; if you wish to
compensate for temperature rise,
remove the roast from oven
sooner (at 5° to 10°F. less
than the Internal Temperature
recommended in the Roasting
Guide in this section).
NOTE: You may wish to Time
Bake, as described in Baking
section to turn oven on and off
automatically.
Frozen Roasts
.Frozen roasts of beef, pork,
lamb, etc., can be roasted without
thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes
per pound additional time (15
minutes per pound for roasts
under 5 pounds, more time for
larger roasts).
.Thaw most frozen poultry before
roasting to ensure even doneness.
Some commercial frozen poultry
can be cooked successfully without
thawing. Follow directions given
on package label.

Broiling
Broiling is cooking food by intense
radiant heat from the upper unit in
the oven. Most fish and tender cuts
of meat can be broiled. Follow
these steps to keep spattering and
smoking to a minimum.
Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle
near edge, cut vertical slashes
through both about 2" apart. If
desired, fat may be trimmed,"
leaving layer about 1/8" thick.
Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack
in broiler pan which comes with
range. Always use rack so fat drips
into broiler pan: otherwise juices
may become hot enough to
catch fire.
Step 3: Position shelf on
recommended shelf position as
suggested in Broiling Guide. Most
broiling is done on C position, but
if your range is connected to 208
volts, you may wish to use a higher
position.
Step 4: Leave door open to the
broil stop position (except when
broiling chicken). The door stays
open by itself, yet proper temperature
is maintained in the oven.
Step 5: Press BROIL pad.
Step 6: Select LO Broil (450°E)
by tapping INCREASE pad once.
Select HI Broil (550°F.) by tapping
INCREASE pad twice.
To change from HI Broil to LO
Broil. press the BROIL pad then
tap DECREASE pad once.
Step 7: Turn food only once
during cooking. Time foods for
first side per Broiling Guide.
Turn food, then use times given for
second side as a guide to preferred
doneness. (Where two thicknesses
and times are given together, use
first times given for thinnest food.)
Step 8: When Broiling is
completed press the CLEAR!OFF
pad. Serve food immediately, and
leave pan outside oven to cool
during meal for easiest cleaning.
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line
your broiler pan and broiler rack.
However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the rack and cut slits in it
just like the rack.
Without the slits, the foil will
prevent fat and meat juices from
draining to the broiler pan. The
juices could become hot enough to
catch on fire. If you do not cut the
slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions & Answers
Q. Why should Ileave the door
closed when broiling chicken?
A. Chicken is the only food
recommended for closed-door
broiling. This is because chicken is
relatively thicker than other foods
you broil. Closing the door holds
more heat in the oven which allows
chicken to cook evenly throughout,
Q. When broiling, is it necessary
to always use a rack in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends
the meat over the pan. As the meat
cooks, the juices fall into the pan.
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are
protected by the rack and stay
cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before
broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices
and allows them to evaporate.
Always salt after cooking. Turn
meat with tongs; piercing meat
with a fork also allows juices to
escape. When broiling poultry or
fish, brush each side often
with butter.
Q. Why are my meats not turning
out as brown as they should?
A. In some areas, the power
(voltage) to the range maybe low.
In these cases, preheat the broil
unit for 10 minutes before placing
broiler pan with food in oven.
Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil
for longest period of time indicated
in the Broiling Guide. Turn food
only once during broiling.
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler
rack to prevent meat from
sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed
to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping
the surface cool enough to prevent
meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler rack
lightly with a vegetable cooking
spray before cooking will make
cleanup easier.
