The Surface Unit Control Knobs must be pushed in before turning
them. This helps avoid turning them on accidentally when wiping off the
Control Panel. And it helps keep small children from turning them on. You
must push in on them.. .then turn to the setting you want.
A design by each knob tells which unit is turned on by that knob.
(For example. [ .] shows that the right front unit.. the one closest to you
on your right.. will heat when you push in and turn that knob.)
The knob may be set anywhere between “HI” and “OFF.” As you
use your surface units. you will get used to the settings that match your
pots. pans and favorite foods the best
As a guide. the setting should cook at about the following heats.
HI -~ To start most foods cooking. To bring water to a boil.
MED-HI - To hold a rapid boil; to fry pancakes or chicken.
MED - To make gravy. puddings and icings: to cook large quan-
tities of vegetables.
MED-LO -To keep food cooking after starting it at a higher setting.
LO - To keep food warm until ready to serve. You will notice
that you can set the heat higher or lower within the LO
band [ ‘4 J to help keep food at the temperature you
want
The Signal Light will glow whenever a Surface Unit is on. Be
surethis light isoffwhen you havefinished cooking.

You might want to broil some foods slower than others. Broiling
can be slowed down by setting a lower temperature on the Oven Temper-
ature Control Knob instead of “BROIL.” Using a lower temperature will
cause the broil element to turn on and off during the broiling so that the
food broils more slowly.
When the Oven Temperature Control Knob is on “BROIL.” the
Broil Element heats Al the time. Set the temperature lower and it heats
some of the time The lower the temperature setting. the shorter are the
periods of heating
NOTE: The Oven Seiector must be in the “BROIL” position in
order for the Broil Element to heat
Resettingthe oventemperature control:
Does your new oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven?
The temperatures in older ovens often shift very gradually, getting hotter
or colder without the user really noticing the change. Your new oven is
properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. but when compared
to your old range. the new design may give you different baking results. If
you think that the temperature setting on your range needs to be hotter or
colder. you can adjust the Oven Temperature Control Knob by yourself.
To adjust the setting. first pull the Oven Temperature Control Knob
straight off. On the back. Just across from the locking screw, are a row of
notches on the black part of the knob and one tooth on the chrome part
To set your oven about lO’F(5”C) cooler. loosen the lockmg screw
about two full turns and move the row of notches one notch closer to
“LO.” To set your oven about lO”F(5”C) warmer. move the row of
notches onenotch closer to “HI.” Each notch equals about lO’F(5”C).
Tighten th”e locking screw and put the knob back on the
control panel

2. The Minute Timer hand will turn as you set the clock. When the clock
\
is set, let the knob pop out. Then, while it is out, turn the Minute Timer
hand clockwise to “OFF.” If you push in on the knob when setting the
Minute Timer. you will change the setting of the clock.
Minute Timer
Using the Minute Timer
The small numbers inside the clock face are the minute markings.
Turn the knob in the center of the clock...don’t push it in...to the
number of minutes you want to time. When the time you set is up, a
buzzer WIIIsound. Turn the hand to “OFF” to stop the buzzer.
The Minute Timer does not start or stop cooking. It only buzzes
when the time you set is up. It can be used to time almost any cooking
operation. It can even remind you of other things (like when to add the
softener to the washer).
For the most accurate timing, turn the knob past the time you
want. Then turn it back to the setting.
Using the automatic MEALTIMER* clock
The automatic feature of the MEALTIMER* Clock lets you be away
from home when the oven starts. or when it stops It will turn on and off
automatically. or just turn off automatically.
Let‘s say you have a roast that will take four hours to cook. Dinner
is supposed to be at 6.00. but you have an appointment at 1:30 and you
know you won’t get home until at least 4:O0. When do you have time to
put in the roast7
With the Automatic MEALTIMER* Clock. it‘s’easy. Just before you
leave for your appointment. put the roast in the oven, set the start time for
2:00 and the stop time for 6:00 (four hours). Set the Oven Selector to
“TIMED” and set the Oven Temperature Control Knob for the tempera-
ture you want Then leave. The oven will start at 2:O0. bake for four hours
at the selected temperature. and shut off at 6:O0.

Oven rack positions
Toremove rack, pull
forward until rack
stops, lift and pull.
Your oven has two racks. Always put the racks where you want
them to be beforeyou turn onthe oven.
To remove a rack, take hold of it on the front edge and pull it out
until it stops. Then lift up the front edge and pull again. It will slide past the
stops, out of the guides and out of the oven.
To put it back. fit the back corners into the guides at each side of
the oven and slide it in, keepingthe front tilted up until the rack passes
the stopsin the rack guides.

Using the oven light
The oven light will come on when the oven door isopened. To turn
on the light without opening the door, push the oven lrght switch. Push it
again to turn the light off
Toreplacethe ovenlight bulb:
The oven light bulb has a glass cover which is held on by a wire
holder. This covermust bein place when the oven is being used.
Turn off the electric power at the main power supply.-
Pull out on the wire holder and move it to one side. This will let you
remove the glass cover
Replace the bulb with a 40.watt appliance bulb (designed to stand
up to oven heat) available at most grocery. variety and hardware
stores.
Replace glass cover Snap the wire holder in place.
The oven vent
Replace with a IO-watt
APPLlANCE bulb.
There is an oven vent under the right rear surface element. When
the oven is on, heated air will escape through it. A vent is needed for air
circulation in the oven during baking. You can cook on this surface unit
while the oven is on. A warm pan of food will stay warm on this unit while
the oven is on, It may be warm enough to melt butter, too.
Do not try to saveheat or energy by blocking the vent. Poor
baking can result. Plastic utensils may melt if they are overthe vent
while the ovenis on.

The optional rotisserie
Ii yogi would like a rotisserie with your oven. you can order a kit
from your dealer. Easy installation instructions come with the kit.
Using the Self-Cleaning oven cycle
The Self-Cleaning Oven uses high heat that actually burns away
oven soil. For best results and safety, read this section carefully. Make sure
you Llnderstand how everything works before you set your oven to
“CLLW 11
Things to do beforeyou start:
l Some areas may not be cleaned during the Self-Cleaning cycle:
-The frame around the oven opening
--The door especially the part around the outside of the oven seal.
%!I on these areas will be more difficult to remove after the Self-
Cjganlng cycle Use hot water and detergent.. or a soapy steel-wool
pad. Rinse well
l Do not moveor bend the fiberglass ovendoor seal. Do not try to
ciean it by hand.
l The high heat during the cleaning cycle will discolor the racks and

4. Push in on the Stop Time
Knob and set it ahead as many
hours as you want for the clean-
ing cycle. For a lightly soiled
oven, two hours ahead may be
enough. For heavy soil, three
hours ahead maybeabout right.
Ifsomesoildoesnot getremoved
during the cleaning cycle, see
“Special Tips” later in this
section.
5. Lock the ovendoor by moving
the Lock Leverall the way to the
right. Whenit isall the way over,
the Clean Light will come on. If
the CleanLight doesn’t comeon,
the lever isn’t all the way over
and the cleaning cycle won’t
start.
When the clean light comes on,
the ovenstarts the cleaningcycle.
About 20 minutes later, the Lock
Light will come on. It will stay on
during the cleaning cycle. The
door cannot be unlocked while
the Lock Light is on.
6. The oven will shut off when
the preset stop time is reached,
but the ovendoor will staylocked
until the ovenhas cooled. When
the Lock Light turns off,turn the
Oven Selector Knob and Oven
Temperature Control Knob to
“OFF.” This turns off the Clean
Light. Now, movethe Lock Lever
back to the left. Do notjorce the
Lock Lever. If it doesn’t want to
move easily, wait until it does.
With the Lock Lever all the way
to the left, the ovendoor can be
opened.
7. Whenthe ovenhas cooled off
all the way, wipe out any residue
or ashesfrom the bottom.

How the Self-Cleaning cycleworks:
l When oven controls are set to “CLEAN.” the oven gets much hotter
than it does for cooking. This high heat causes soil on the inside oven
walls to burn off. or break up and mostly disappear. While this is
happening. a special part in the oven vent helps remove smoke. DO
not cover the right-rear surface unit during the cleaning cycle.
l The chart below shows about what happens during a 2-hour Self-
Cleaning cycle. Any time less than that shortens only the cleaning
cycle, not the heating and cooling times.
l Don’t touch the range during the cleaning cycle.. .it will be hot.
l When the cleaning cycle is over, you will find some fine ashes in the
oven. The amount of ash depends upon the amount of soil there was
in the oven Whenthe ovenis cool, clean up all that is left with a
damp cloth. cleanser. or a soap-filled steel-wool pad.
l During the cleaning cycle. you may hear the sounds of metal heating
and cooling. These are normal sounds. and a lot like those you can
hear when the oven heats for regular cooking.

Special tips:
l If the cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as it should be.
the time set for cleaning was probably not long enough. Set the
cleaning time longer next time. You can set it for more than 3
hours, if you want.
l Plan to clean the oven before it gets too heavily soiled. Other-
wise, you may notice more smoke than you would expect com-
ing from the oven vent. And, the cleaning cycle has to be longer
to clean a very soiled oven.
l There will be normal “heat odors” during the cleaning cycle. To
help get rid of them. keep the kitchen well ventilated.
l To stop the cleaning cycle after it has started:
-Turn the Stop Time Knob to the right time of day.
-Turn the Oven Selector Knob to “OFF”
-Turn the Oven Temperature Control Knob to “OFF.”
-Unlock and open the oven door when the Lock Light turns
off.
NOTE: Do not force the Lock Lever. Wait until it moves easily.
l Do not use foil or other oven liners in your Self-Cleaning Oven.
l Don’t use commercial oven cleaners in your Self-Cleaning Oven.
l If racks are left in the oven during a cleaning cycle, they will lose
their shine. discolor and be harder to slide in and out. To make
them slide easier. polish the edges of the racks and rack guides
with a soap-filled steel wool pad. rinse well, and wipe on a thin
coating of salad oil.

Cleaning and caring for your range
Your range is designed to be easy to clean. You will usually wipe off
spills and spatters when they happen, but you will sometimes want to
clean under and behind the control knobs and surface units. This section
will tell you how to remove those, and what to use when cleaning.
Removingand replacing surfaceunit control knobs:
