NEVER LEAVE jars or cans of fat or
drippings in .your oven.
ALWAYS KEEP the oven and surface unit
areas free from things that will bum.. Food,
wooden utensils, grease buildup, gasoline and
other flammable vapors or
liquids could catch fire
Plastic utensils could melt and
canned foods could explode.

ONLY SOME kinds of glass or ceramic
cookware can be used for cooktop cooking.
Make sure the cookware you choose to use is
designed for cooktop cooking without
breaking due to the sudden changes in
temperatures,
ALWAYS USE care when touching cooktop
cooking zones. They wil! retain heat after the
range has been tumed off.
NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent on the
backguard of the range,
COOKWARE USED for
cooktop cooking should be
flat on the bottom and large
enough to cover the heating area being used.
This will improve heating efficiency,
Undersized utensils expose the heating area
and may result in direct contact or ignition of
clothing
NEVER LEA VE surface units unattended at
high settings Boilovers result in smoking or
greasy spills that could catch fire.
ALWAYS turn utensil handles inward and
away from other surface units to reduce the
risk of burns, ignition, unintended contact or
spillage.
NEVER cook on a broken cooktop; cleaning
solutions or spillage could penetrate it and
create the risk of efectriCaf shock or fire.
PLACE OVEN RACKS in the desired
position while the oven is cool ffracksmust be
moved while oven is hot, do not fet the potholder
contact the hot oven element
AFTER BROILING, always take the broiler
pan and grid out of the oven and clean them,
Leftover grease in the broiler pan cou/d catch fire
next time you use your oven..
ALWAYS USE care when opening the oven

Opening the door often to check foods will
cause heat loss and poor baking results.
During any oven operation,you may hear a fan
noise This is the internal coofing fan that
keeps all electrical parts from overheating, It
is not uncommon for this fan to keep running
even after the oven is turned off,
OVEN VENT
Let the oven preheat thoroughly when recipes
call for preheating,, Preheating is bringing the
temperature up to the temperature ,you will be
using during baking,, When the oven has
reached the preheat temperature, a tone will
sound. Have foods nearby ready to place in
the oven.

temperature inside the oven, To keep a
constant set temperature, the elements will
cycle or turn on and off during cooking°
The low temperature zone of your oven
(between 170°and 2OO°F) is available to keep
hot cooked foods warm. However, foods kept
at these temperatures longer than 2 hours may
spoil.

If baking with more than one pan, place the
pans so each has at least I to 1 1/2" of air
space around it. Place pans so one is not

as well as a safety
precaution, for placing

Broiling is cooking by direct
heat from the upper element.
The oven door should remain
opened to the broil stop
position during broiling,.
It is not necessary to preheat
the oven when broiling, Use the broiler pan
and grid that came with your range.. Both are
designed for proper drainage of fat and
liquids.
The US. Department of Agriculture notes that
meat cooked rare is popular, but meat cooked
to only 140=F (rare) means that some food
poisoning organisms may survive,
The closer you place foods to the brofl element,
the faster foods brown on the outside yet
remain red to pink in the center,
Moving meats away from the element will allow
the meat to cook to the center while browning
on the outside, Cook side I at feast 2 minutes
longer than side 2If your oven is connected
to 208 volts, ,youmay want to use a higher rack

Choose tender cuts of meat at least 3/4"
thick for broiling.
Trim the outer layer of fat; slit the edges to
keep meats from curling
Always use tongs to turn meats. Piercing
meat allows juices to escape.
Salt the first side of meats just before
turning, the second side just before
serving.. Brush chicken and fish with
butter several times as they broil,
Chicken and fish should be placed on the
grid skin side down. For fish, lightly grease
the grid to prevent sticking.
