Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or heax3,-weigbt cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat fasmr
than other metals. Cast-iron and coamd
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at low m
medium heat settings. Smel pans m W
cook unevenly if not combined with
other met_fls.
For best cooking results, pans should be
fiat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan m the size of the surface unit.
The pan should not exmnd over the
edge of the surface unit more than 1".
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
Werecommendthatyouuseonlya flat-bottomed
wok.Theyareavailableatyourlocalretailstore.
Do not use woEs dlat have support rings.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cookmp.
Do not use round bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped ove_.
Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Make sure the canner is fiat on the
bottom.
Use recipes and procedures flom
reputable sources. These are available
flom manufacturers such as Ball ®and
KerI _ and the Deparunent of Agriculture

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product
Recipe failure can result ff cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Fede_M standards require products labeled "margarine" m contain at least 80% fat by weight. I,ow-fat spreads,
on the other hand, contain less fat and more WamL The high moisture content of these spreads aff>cts the
mxture and flavor of baked goods. Fox best results with your old favorim recipes, use margarine, butter or
stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen

Remove shelves, broiler pan, broiler grid,
all cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
mam_-iM of file oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket m remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or flayed, replace it.
Wipe up any hemT spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. The shiny, siNe>colored oven shelves
(on some models) can be self<leaned,
but flleyMll darken, lose flleir luster
and become hard m slide.
Soil on the flont flame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Glean these areas
with hot water; soap-filled smel wool pads
