initially.To lightthem:
LBe sure surfaceburner control
knobsare in the OFI?position.
2. Removethe grates and liftthe
cooktopup or off(see page 15).
3. Locate the twopilot ports and

Surfaceburners on your range are
lightedby electric ignition, ending
the need for pilotlights.
In ease of zpower outage, youcan
lightthe pilotless ignition surface
burners on your rangewith a
match. Hold alightedmatch to the
burner, then turn the knob to the
LITE position. Use extreme
caution when lightingburners
inthis manner.
surfaceBurner‘controls
The knobsthat turn the surface
burners on and offare located on
the lowerfront panel in frontof the
burners.
The two on the leftcontrol the left
front and left rear burners. The two
on the right control the right front
and right rear burners.

HowtoselectFktmesize
The flame sizeon agas burner
shouldmatch the cookware you
are using.
NEVER LET THE FLAME
EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF
THE COOKWARE. Any flame
largerthan the bottom of the
cookware is wastedheat and only
servesto heat thehandles.
Whenusingaluminumor
Auninurn-cladstainlesssteel
potsandpans,adjust the flame so
the circle it makes is about 1/2inch
smaller than the bottom ofthe
cookware.
Whenboiling,use this same
flame size—1/2inch smaller than
the bottom ofthe cookware—no
matter what the cookware is made
of. Foods cookjust as quickly at a
gentleboil as theydo at afurious
rollingboil. Ahighboil creates
steam and cooksawaymoisture,
flavorand nutrition. Avoiditexcept
for the few cookingprocesses
which need avigorousboil.
Whenfryingorwarmingfoods
instainlesssteeI,castironor
enamelware,keep the flame down
lower—toabout 1/2the diameter
ofthe pan.
Whenfryinginglassorceramic
cookware,lowerthe flame even
more.

clean them up as soon as possible.
If allowedto set, these foodscould
cause adull spot. Also, no matter

use harsh abrasive cleansers. They
could permanently damage the
enamel surface.

J&Ml& Top Burners
The holesin the burners of your

Youshould clean the burners

With proper care, the porcelain
enamel wallswill retain their good-
Iookingfinish for many years.
Soap and water will normally
do thejob. Heavy spattering or
spilloversmay require cleaning
with amild abrasivecleanser.
Soapywet pads mayalso be used.
Do not allow food spillswith ahigh
sugaror acid content(such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruitjuices
or pie filling)to remain on the
surface. They maycause adull
spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaningjob easier. Place 1/2cup
in ashallowglass or pottery
container in acold ovenovernight.
The ammonia fumes will help
loosen the burned-on grease and
food.
If necessary, youmay use acaustic
cleaner. Followthe package
directions.
(hlt~O1’lS aboutusing
spray-onovencleaners:
Becareful where the oven cleaner
is sprayed.
@Do not spray on the electrical
controlsand switches(on models so
equipped) because itcould cause a
short circuit and result in sparking
or fire.
@Do notallow afilmfrom the
cleanertobuildup onthetemperature
sensingbulb—itcouldcause the
ovento heat improperly. (The bulb
is located at the top ofthe oven,)
Carefully wipe the bulb clean after
each ovencleaning, being careful
not to movethe bulb as achange
in itsposition could affect how
the ovenbakes.
@Do not spray any ovencleaner on
the ovendoor, handles or any
exterior surfaceof theoven, wood
or paintedsurfaces. The cleaner
can damage these surfaces.
The ovenbottom can be rcn-noved to
make cleaning easier.

2. Removethe twoknurled hold-
down screwsat each front corner.
If screwsare too tightto removeby

Place your fingersin the slotsin the
bottom and lift up the front edgeof
the ovenbottom until it is clear of
the ovenfront frame.
3. Pull the bottom forward and out
of the oven, keepingthe rear of the
ovenbottom glidingon the bottom
of the lowestshelfglide. This keeps
itfromcatchingontheburner igniter

reverse this procedure, making sure
the twotabs on the rear of the oven
bottom go intothe slotsat the rear.
The ovenbottom has aporcelain
enamel finish. Tomake cleaning
easier, protect the ovenbottom
from excessivespillovers.This is
particularly important when baking
afruit pie or other foodswith high
acid content. Hot fruit fillingsor
foodsthat are acid in content such
as milk, tomato or sauerkraut, and
sauces with vinegar or lemon
juice, maycause pittingand damage
to the porcelain enamel surface.

The temperature control in your
newovenhas been carefullyadjusted
to provideaccurate temperatures.
However,ifthis ovenhas replaced
oneyouhaveused for severalyears,
youmay notice adifference in the
degree ofbrowning or the length
oftime required when using your
favoriterecipes. Oven temperature
controlshaveatendencyto “drift”
overaperiod of years and since
thisdrift is very gradual, it is not
readily noticed. Therefore, you
mayhavebecome accustomed to
your,previous ovenwhich may
haveprovided ahigher or lower
temperature than you selected.
Beforeattempting to havethe
temperature ofyour new oven
changed, be sure you havefollowed
the baking time and temperature of
the recipe carefully.Then, afler
youhaveused the ovenafewtimes
and you feel the ovenis too hot
or too cool, there is asimple
adjustmentyou can make yourself
on the Oven Temperature knob.
Pull the knob offthe control shaft
and look at the back side. There is
adisc in the center of the knob skirt
withaseriesofnotcheson theinner
edge nextto the knob shaft. One of
these notches ispositioned over a
pointeron the sideofthe knob shaft.
Note position of
~/ pointer to notches
before adjustment
~~\ Loosen only the
locking screws

Note which notchthe pointer is
located in. Tomake an adjustment,
carefully loosen (approximately
one turn), but do not completely
removethe two screws that hold the
skirt to the knob. Hold the knob
(black or chrome in color) and with
theotherhandcarefullytilttheskirt
untilthe notch in the disc clears the
pointer on the knob shaft. Toraise
the oventemperature, turn the dial
in the direction ofthe arrow for
“Raise~’
Tolower the temperature, turn
the dialin thedirection of arr~w
for “LowerVEach notch will
changethe oventemperature
approximately25°F.
It is suggestedyou movethe
adjustment one notch from the
original settingand check oven
performance beforemaking any
additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made, make
sure the pointer on the knob shafi
is aligned with the notch in the
disc. Press skirt and knob together
and retighten screws so they are
snug, but be careful not to
overtighten.
Re-installknob on range and check
performance. Note that after an
adjustment has been made the
“Of~’ and “Broil” positions on
the skirt will notline up with the
indicator mark on the control panel
as it previously did. This condition
is expected and will not create a
problem. NOTE: The expanded
(shaded) area on the skirt isto
allowfor this condition.
