CAUTION=
Foods that are highly perishable,
such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings,
poultry and pod(, should not be al-
lowed to sit out for mere than one
hour before or after cooking. Room
temperature promotes the growth
of harmful bacteria. Be sure that
the oven light is off because heat
from the bulb will speed harmful
bacteria growth.
OVEN COOKING
DO NOT lock the oven door with the door latch
during baking, The latch is used for self.cleaning
only.
When cooking a food for the first time In your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and Is more apt to be accurate then the oven it
replaced.
After you have used your oven for awhile, If you feel
your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust
Ityourself. See TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS
In this manual.
• Always follow recipe carefully.
• Measure ingredients properly.
Use proper pan placement.
Place pans on the oven racks with 1"to 1 1/2" of air
space on all sides of each pen. Avoid overcrowding
the oven. Paps too close to each other, to the oven
oven walls or to the oven bottom block the free
movement of air. Improper air movement causes
uneven browning and cooking.
when baking several Items, stagger pans so that no
pan Is directly above another.
2 cake layers
rf
4cake layers
Opening the door too olles to check food dudng
baking will allow heat lose and may cause poor
baking results.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking
baked products. Listen for preheat notification tone
(If edulpped) or watch forths Indlcator llghtto go off.
If your range does not have either of these features,
preheat for 10 minutes and put the food In the oven.
There may he some odor when the oven Isfirst used.
This Is caused by the heating of new parts and
Insulation.
Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil. The foil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
results, Do not place any foil dlrecUy abavethe bake
element, Foil used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface; therefore, It
should not be used,
Cookies should he baked on flat cookie sheets
without sides to allow the air to circulate properly.
When recipes require preheating, have food nearby
before you open the oven door. If the oven door Is
allowed to remain open for more than a brief time,
the preheat temperature will be lost.
Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures Ifexterior of pen
Is predarkened, darkened by age or oven proof
glass.

BROILING
Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the broil
burner. Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat
should be selected for broltlng. For best results
steaks and chops should be st least 3/4" thick.
After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pen on
the rack In the oven. The recommended rack post-
tion and cooking time can be found In the chart st
fight.
The closer the food Is to the broil burner, the faster
the meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink
In the center. Moving the meat fartheraway from the
burner lets the meat cook to the center white brown-
Ing outside. Side one should be cooked I - 2 mlnutea
longer than side two.
Your oven door should be open to the broil
stop position while broiling. If the door is
closed the food will roast and not broil.
Use only the broiler pan and grid that camewlth your
range for broiling. They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and ,quids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
Do not preheat when broiling. Preheating may
cause the thermostat to cycle the broil burner off
and on. For even broiling on both sides, start the
food on a cold pan.
Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops.
Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before
turning the meat. Salt the second side just before
serving.
Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as
they broil. When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking and broil with skin side down. It IS
not necessary to turn fish.
Never leave e soiled broiler pen in the range,
Grease In the pan may smoke or burn the next time
the oven Is used.
Be sure you know the correct procedure for
putting out e grease fire. See the section on
safety.
DO NOT lock the oven door with the door latch
dining baking. The latch is used for serf.clean-
ing only.

THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE
BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLE
1. Removethe broil panandgrld,oven rocks, all utensils
and any foil that may be In the oven. Do not try to
clean utensils or any other objects in the oven during
a self-ctean cycle, d oven recks are left in the
range during a clean cycle, they will darken,
lose their luster and become herd to slide. If
you choose to leave the racks in the oven, you can
polish the edges of the rocks with steel wool and
apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rack
edges after the self-clean cycle. This will make the
racks easier to slide.
2. Soil on the oven front frame, under the front edge of
the cooktop, the door liner outside the door gasket
and the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1" Into the
oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (see
Illustration below). Clean these areas by hand before
starting a clean cycle.
Use hot water with a Seal) filled steel wool pad, then
rinse well.
FRONT FRAME
TO SET A CLEAN CYCLE:
Recommended Cleaning Times:
Light Soil ............................................ 1 1/2 hours
Moderate Soil .................................... 2 1/2 hours
Heavy SOIl .......................................... 3.1/2 hours
1. Set DELAY START TIME KNOB on the clock to the
present time of day.
2. Set the STOP TIME knob to the time of dey when you
want the clean cycle to end.
Note: The oven will not unlock until the
temperature has dropped to a •ate level after
the •top time.
3. Turn OVEN SET KNOB to CLEAN.
4. Turn OVEN TEMP KNOB counterelockwise to CLEAN.

SUDE DOOR LOCK/UN-
LOCK HANDLE TO THE
RIGHT TO LOCK DOOR
DOORUNER
3. Wipe up heavy splllovers on the oven bottom. Too
much soil may cause smoking during the clean cycle.
4. DO NOT rub or clean the door gasket (seal). The
fiberglass meterlal of the gasket has an extremely low
resletance to abrasion. An Intact and well-fitting oven
door gasket Is essential for energy efficient oven
operetlon and good baking results. If you notice the
gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged In any
way, or if It has become dlsplsced on the door, you
should have It-replaced. The door gasket Is designed
with a 5" to 6" gap at the bottom to allow proper air
cireulatlon.
For your safety, the oven door cannot
he unlocked while the oven is at clean-
ing temperature. After • clean cycle,
the door cannot he unlocked until the
temperature has dropped to a safe level.

TO INTERRUPT A CLEAN CYCLE:
1. Turn STOP TIME knob to the current time of day.
2. Allow sufficient time for cooling.
Do not force the door lock handle. Slide door lock/
unlock handle to left to unlock door.
3. Allow sufficient time for cooling.
WHEN A CLEAN CYCLE IS FINISHED:
1. Stop time will be the same as the time of day.
2. Allow sufficient time for cooling. Do not force the
door lock handle. Slide door lock/unlock handle to
left to unlock door.
3. Turn OVEN SET KNOB to OFF. Tum OVEN TEMP

AFTER A CLEAN CYCLE
After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash In the
oven. Just wipe It up with a damp cloth.
Ifwhite spots remain, scrub them with a seal)filled steel
wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a white
vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually
a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven Is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle
may be repeated. NESCL22-3

GENERAL INFORMATION:
AS the Cook Top Cleaning Creme_ cleans, it leaves •
profsotlve on the cooktop surface. This coating helps
prevent buildup of mineraldepoeits (wateropots) and will
make future cleaning easier. Dishwasher detergents
remove this prntectlve coating and therefore make the
cooktop more susceptible to staining.
PRECAUTIONS:
Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicalsand abra-
sives which can damage the surface of your cooktop.
Use only the Cook Top Cleaning Creme_ for
proper cleaning and protection of your glass-
ceramic surface.
Ifyou slide aluminum or copper cookware across the
surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal mark-
Ings which appear as scratches. If this should
happen, use the razor scraper and Cook Top Clean-
Ing Creme_ to remove these markings. Failure to
remove this residue Immediately may leave psrma-
nent marks.
If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper, or
enamel are elk)wed to boll dry, the overlay may bond
with the gisss-ceramic and leave a black discolora-
tion. This should be removed Immedistely before
heating ag.alnor the dlscolorstlon may be permanent.
Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film
on the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme® will
remove this discoloration.
Water stains (calcium deposits) are removable using
Cook Top Cleaning Creme® or full strength white
vinegar.

HOME CANNING TIPS
In surface cooking of foods other than canning, the use
of large-diameter pots (extending more than 1" beyond
edge of drip pan) Is not recommended. However, when
canning with weter-bsth or pressure canner, Isrge-dl-
ameter pots may be used. This Isbecause boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to
cooktop surfaces surrounding heating unit.
HOWEVERm DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER
CANNERS OR OTNERL&RGE DIAMETER POTS
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN
WATER.
MOStsyrup or sauce mixtures-- and all types of frying
-- cook st temperatures much hlgherthen boiling water.
Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop sur-
faces surrounding heating units.
OBSERVE FOLLOWING POINTS IN
CANNING
1. Bring water to boll on HIGH heat, then after boiling
has begun, adjust heat to lowest setting to maintain
boll (saves energy and best uses surface unlt)o
2. Besurecannerlltsovercenterofsurfacaunlt. If your
range does not allow canner to be cantered on
surface unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good
canning results.
3. Flnt-bottomedcannereglvebestcannlngresults. Be
sure bottom of canner Isflat or slight Indentstlon fits
snugly over surface unit. Canners with flanged or
rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) are not
recommended.
RIGHT WRONG
4. When canning, use recipes from reputable sources.
Reliable recipes are available from the manufacturer
of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for can-
ning, such as Bell and Kerr; and the United States
Department of Agriculture Extension Servlca.
,Remember, In following the recipes, that canning Is
a process that generates large amounts ofsteam. Be
careful while canning to prevent bums from steam or
heal.
NOTE: If your range Is being operated on low power
(voltage), canning may take longer than expected,
even though dlrecUons have been carefully fol-
lowed. The process may be Improved by:
(1) using e pressure canner, and
(2) for fastest heating of large water quantitlss,
begin with HOT tap water.

"DO IT YOURSELF"
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS
You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than
the oven It replaced. We recommend that you use your
new oven a few weeks to become more familiar with It,
following the times given In your recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven Is too hot (bumlng foods) or
not hot enough (foods am undercooked) you can adjust
the temperature yourself. The appearance and texture
of foods are better Indicators of oven accuracy than an
Inexpensive oven thermometer. We do not recommend
the use of Inexpensive thermomsters, such as those
found In grocery stores, to check the temperature set-
tlng of your new oven. These thermometers can vary by
20-40 degrees. In addition, the oven door must be
opened to read these thermometers. Opening the door
will change the temperature of the oven.
To decide how much to change the temperature, set the
oventempersture25°F higher (If foods are uedercooked)
or 25°F lower (it foods are burning) then the temperature
In your recipe, then bake. The results of this "test"
should give you an idea of how much the tempersture
should be changed.

1. Turn OVEN SET KNOB to OFF and remove the knob
by pulling straight OfL
2. Look st the back of the knob. The arrow pointing to
