To obtain the best cooking resufts possible, you must operate your range properly. This

section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range.

Using the surface units

Push in control knobs before turning

them to a setting. You can set them any-

where between HI and OFF.

Surface unit markers

The solid dot in the surface unit marker

shows which surface unit is turned on by

that knob.

Surface heating indicator light

The SURFACE HEATING Indicator Light on

the control panel will glow when a surface

unit is turned on.

Burn and Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to

OFF and all indicator lights are OFF

when you are not cooking.

Someone could be burned or a fire

could start if a surface unit is acciden-

tally left ON.

Until you get used to the settings, use

the followlng as a guide. For best results,

start cooking at the high setting; then turn

the control knob down to continue cooking.

SElllNG RECOMMENDED USE

To start foods cooking.

To bring liquids to a boil.

Medium-high

To hold a rapid boil.

To fry chicken or pan-

cakes.

Medium

For gravy, pudding and

(opposite OFF) icing.

To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

Medium-low

To keep food cooking

after starting it on a

higher setting.

To keep food warm until

ready to serve.

Cookware tips

Select a pan that is about the same size

as the surface unit.

NOTE: For best results and greater

energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed

cookware that makes good contact with

the surface units. Cookware with rounded,

warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain

enamelware) or dented bottoms could

cause severe overheating, which damages

the cookware andlor surface unit.

You can, however, use the newer

cookware available with slightly indented

bottoms or very small expansion channels.

This cookware is specialty designed to

provide the good contact needed for best

cooking results.

Also, woks, canners and teakettles with

flat bottoms suitable for use on your

co&top are now availabfe in most stores

that sell housewares.

The pan should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-

ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

The pan material (metal or glass) affects

how fast heat transfers from the surface

unit through the pan material and how

evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.

Choose pans that provide the best cooking

results.

Handles should be made of sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securely attached

to the pan.

Product Damage Hazard

If a surface unit stays red for a tong

time, the bottom of the pan is not flat

enough or is too small for the surface

unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect

utensils could result in damage to the

surface unit, cooktop, wiring and

surrounding areas. To prevent dam-

age, use correct utensils, start cooking

on HI and turn control down to con-

tinue cooking.

Do not leave an empty utensil, or one

which has boiled dry, on a hot surface

unit. The utensil could overheat and

could damage the utensil or surface

unit.

cwktop.

Do not place canner 0r1two surface units

at the same time. Too much heat will build

up and will damage the cooktop.

Start with hot water. This reduces the

time the control is set on high. Reduce

heat setting to lowest position needed to

keep water boiling.

Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat

reflection.

To prolong the life of the elements:

- Prepare small batches at a time.

- Do not use elements for canning all

&Y-

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one mck, place

the rack so the top of the food will be

centered in the oven.

Reck plscement for specific foods:

Frozen pies, large

roasts, turkeys

RACK POSITION

When baking on two racks, arrange racks

on bottom and third level from bottom.

Personal Injury Hazard

Always position oven rack(s) in

desired location before turning oven

on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.

If rack(s) must be moved while oven

is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to

protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions

could result in personal injury.

For best air circulation

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.

Place the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

For best results, allow 1?4to 2 inches

(4-5

cm) of space around each pan and

between pans and oven walls. There must

be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).

Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at

one time.

Use the following as a guide to determine

where to place the pans:

One pan

Place in the center of the oven rack.

Two pans

Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.

Three or four pans

Place in opposite corners on each oven

rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over

another.

Using aluminum foil for baking

Use alumlnum loll to catch splllovers

from

piea or

casseroles:

Place the foil on the oven rack below the

rack with the food. Turn

foil edaes and

make sure foil is about 1 i&h (3 &I)

larger all around than the dish holding the

focd.

Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-

num foil. It will reduce air circulation and

cause poor cooking results.

Do not line oven bottom or entire oven

rack with foil or other liners. Poor baking

will result.

Electrkal Shock and Fire Hazard

Do not allow foil to touch the heating

elements.

Failure to follow this precaution couM

resuft in electrical shock or fire hazard

and damage to the elements.
