“S++Yourrange,]iIte ma?ly other hOUS~-
hold items,isIIeavyand cansettle
=9 intosoftfloor coverings suchas
~- cushioned viny] or carpeting. W’hen
moving the range on this type of’
flooring, use care, and it is recom-
mended that these simple and inex-
pensive instructions be followed.
The range should be installed on a
sheet of plywood (or similar mater-
ial) as follows: When thejloor’
covering is terminated at the front
of ~hera~zge,the area that the range
will rest on should be built up with
plywood to the same level or higher
than the floor covering. This will
then allow the range to be moved
for cleaning or servicing.
Leveling screws are located on each
_corner of the base of the range. By
~rernoving the bottom drawer you
——
--’canlevel the range to an uneven
floor with the use of anutdriver.
*TT-O remove drawer, pull drawer out
‘=~11 the way, tilt up the front and
remove it. To replace, insert glides
at back of drawer beyond stop on
range glides. Lift drawer if neccs-
s:iry to insert easily. Let front Of
drawer down, then push in to close.
Use cooking utensils of medium
weight aluminum, tight-fitting
covers, and flat bottoms which
completely cover the heated por-
tion of the surface unit.
Cook fresh vegetables with a
minimum amount of water in
acovered 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
the shell, bring water to boil,
then turn to OFF position to
complete the cooking.
Use correct heat for cooking
task. ..HIGH—to start cooking
(if time allows, do not use HIGH
heat to start), MEDIUM HI—
quick brownings, MEDIUM—
slow frying, Low—finish cooking
most quantities, simmer—double
boiler heat, finish cooking, and
special for small quantities.
When boiling water for tea or
coffee, heat only the amount
needed. It is not economical to
boil acontainer full of water for
only one or two cups.
Preheat the oven only wilen
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfa~torily without preheating.
If you find preheating is neces-
sary, watch the indicator light,
and put food in the 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 atime as possible when
it is opened.
Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables, and
some desserts will cook together
with amain-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same tem-
perature and in approximately
the same time.
Use residual heat in oven when-
ever possible to finish cooking
casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also
add rolls or precooked desserts
to warm oven, using residual
heat to warm them.

Canning Add. be doneon

In surfacecookingof foodsother
than canning, the use oflarge-
diameter utensils(extendingmore
than l-inchbeyondedgeof trimring)
isnot recommended. However,
when canning with water-bathor
pressure canner, large-diameter
utensilsr-naybe used. This is
because boilingwatertemperatures
(evenunder pressure) are not
harmful to cooktopsurfaces
surrounding heating unit.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE
LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS
OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER
UTENSILS FOR FRYING OR
BOILING FOODS OTHER
THAN WATER.Most syrup or
sauce mixtures—andall types of

4. When canning, use recipes from

are availablefromthe manufacturer
ofyourcanner; manufacturersof
glassjars forcanning,such as Ball
and Kerr; and the United States
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
5. Remember, in foHowii~gthe
recipes, that canning is aprocess
that generateslargeamountsof
steam. Be careful while canningto
preventburns from steam or heat.
NOTE: If your rangeis being
operated on lowpower (voltage),
