unit cooking.
At both OFF and HIGH positions,
there is aslight niche so control
“clicks” at those positions; “click”
on HIGH marks the highest set-

Q. May Ican foods and preserves
on my surface units?
A, Yes, but only use utensils de-
signed 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 heating
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. Why do my utensils tilt when I
place them on the surface unit?
A. Because the surface unit is not
flat. Make sure that the “feet” on
the heating units are sitting tightly
in the range top indentation and
the reflector ring is flat on the
range surface. Also be sure that
the utensil has aflat bottom.
Q. Can Iuse special cooking
equipment like an oriental wok, on
any surface unit.
A. Utensils without fiat surfaces
are not recommended. The life of
your surface unit cart be shortened
and the range top can be damaged
from the high heat needed for this
type of cooking.
Q. Can Icover my reflector pans
with foil?
A. Yes, but make sure hole in
center is left open.
Q. Why js the porcelain finish on
my containers coming off?
A. If you set your heating unit
higher than required for the con-
tainer material, and leave it, the
finish may smoke, crack, pop, or
burn depending on the pot or pan.
Also, atoo high heat for long
periods, and small amounts of dry
food, may damage the finish.

The automatic timer and clock on
your Range are helpful devices
that serve several purposes.

The Minute Timer has been com-
bined with the range clock. Use it
to time all your precise cooking
operations. You’ll recognize the
Minute Timer as the pointer which
is different in color and shape than
the clock hands.

self-caem Lk?s
(OmModel JCP67)
The self-cleaning function on your
range uses the Automatic Timer to
set the length of time needed to
clean whether you wish to clean
immediately or delay the cleaning.
By setting the Start and/or Stop
Dials you may choose to begin
immediately or clean at low energy
times during the night. Full ex-
planations of setting the Start and
Stop Dials for self-cleaning are
described on pages 18 and 19.
Q, How can Iuse my Minute Timer
to make my surface cooking easier?
A. Your Minute Timer will help time
total cooking which includes time
to boil food and change tempera-
tures. Do not judge cooking time
by visible steam only. Food will
cook in covered containers even
though you can’t see any steam.
Q. Can Ichange the clock while I’m Q. Can Iuse the Minute Timer dur-
