power when it is fully on. It can be used to rapidly
bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of
food.
UsingSURESIM vIER
The right rear SURESIMMER burner is designed for
low temperature cooking. It allows accurate simmer
control at the lowest setting.

• To help shorten your cooking time, use the least
I amount of liquid possible,
•Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn
the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.
7

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS (contd.)
The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure
canners combined with high heat settings for long
periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
•Center the canner over the surface burner. Do
not extend more than 1 inch outside the burner
area.
• Do not place your canner on two surface burners
at the same time.
• Start with hot water, cover with a lid and bring to
a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or
required pressure levels in a pressure canner.
• Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
For up-to-date information on canning, contact
your local U.S. Government Agricultural
Department Extension Office or companies who
manufacture home canning products.
t ghteo kwa ema es
• The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,
and a well-fiffing lid.
• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
cookware.
• The pan material (metal or glass) affects how
quickly and evenly the pan heats.
• When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to
make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.
• To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are
centered on the grates.
You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit
match near a burner and turn the control knob to
the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the
control knob to the setting you want.
CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS
The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.
•Use for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

USING THE OVEN
i_!i_'!i!_ ' _i_ _
The integrated handle area makes pulling out the
STURDIGLIDE rack simple. The opening is large
enough for a potholder or oven mitt.
The STURDIGLIDE HALF-RACK with removable
insert is a space maximizer. When attached, they
make a full rack. The insert can also be used on
the counter for a cooling rack.
Position a full rack on guide 1 or 2 and the half-rack
on guide 3 or 4. On the full rack place large items on
right side and deeper, covered dishes on left side.
Place shallow dishes on the half-rack. It may be
necessary to increase cooking time. At the end of
cooking, carefully remove items from the oven.
P0siti sisg racks pa s
Place the STURDIGLIDE racks where you need
them before turning on the oven.
• To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position,
raise the front edge and lift it out.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.
• For best performance, cook on one rack. Place
the rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
•When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks
on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of
cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at
approximately three quarters of the total bake
time. Increase baking time, if necessary.
•For best results, allow 2 inches of space around
each pan and between pans and oven walls. Hot
air must circulate around the pans in the oven for
even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This
results in better baking.
Use this rack position when roasting food too large
to be placed on the first
rack position.
For proper roasting,
follow these guidelines:
•To avoid spillage,
remove food before
pulling out the rack.
•Tilt the rack up at the
,front before pulling it
rack position over the door.
•Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan
(meat juices or water) so your food does not get
overdone.
Where to place pans:
1 pan In center of the oven rack. i
staggered.
3 or 4 pans In opposite corners on
each oven rack. Stagger
pans so no pan is directly i
over another. '_

•Place rack in center of oven.
• May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
•Place in the bottom third of oven.
• May need to increase baking time.
• May need to increase baking time.
• Follow manufacturer's instructions.
USING ALUMINUM FOIL
• Do not line the oven bottom with any type of
foil, liners, or cookware. Permanent damage
will occur to the oven bottom finish.
• Do not block the oven bottom vents.
• Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.
Doing so will reduce air circulation and overall
oven performance.
•To catch spillovers from pies or casseroles place
foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned
up at edges and be at least 1 inch larger than
dish.
• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or
poultry to slow down surface browning for long
term masting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.
• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust
edges if browning too quickly.

ULTRABAKE TMBAKING/ROASTING (contd.)
4. When roasting, preheating the oven is not
necessary unless your
recipe recommends it.
NOTE: The oven will heat
normally even though
"PrE HEAt" is displayed
and then maintain the
selected cooking
temperature.
• For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a
shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the
drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.
• Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate

faster or slower than your old oven.
If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting
results, you can change the temperature calibration
by following the steps below.
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds.
The display will show the current temperature
calibration, for example "0," if you have not
already adjusted the temperature.
NOTE: DO NOT measure the oven temperature with
a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower

BROILING (contd.)
Use precision broiling if your food is cooking too
fast or if you want your food to broil slower from the
start. The lower the temperature, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces
of meat, fish and poultry may cook better if you use
lower broiling temperatures.

•Use only the broiler pan and grid provided. They
are designed to drain extra juices from the
cooking surface. This drainage helps prevent
spatter and smoke.
• To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover
the grid with foil.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the fat
on the edges to prevent curling.
• Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.
•Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning
or removing food.
• After broiling, remove the pan from the oven
when removing the food, Drippings will bake on
the pan if left in the heated oven, making
cleaning more difficult.
• For easier cteaning, line the bottom of the pan
with aluminum foil. Clean the pan and grid as
soon as possible after each use.

BROILING (contd.)
Recommended rack positions are numbered from the
bottom (1) to the top (5). For best results, place food 3
inches or more from the broil burner. Times are
guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for
individual tastes.
