Using Your Range In This Section Page Page Using the surface units.. .7 Broiling .............................................. 12 ................... Positioning racks and pans ............... . Broiling tips.. .................................... .14 For best air circulation .
Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking. RECOMMENDED USE SElTlNG HI t l To start foods cooking. l To bring liquids to a boil.
Home canning information To protect your range: l Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results. l Use the largest surface unit for best resub. Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered over the surface unit and which does not extend more than one inch outside surface unit area.
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. l Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other. l For best results, allow 1% to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.
Baking/roasting 1. Position the rack(s) properly before turning on the oven. To change rack position, lift rack at front and pull out. For further information, sea “Positioning racks and pans” on page 9. 2. Set the Oven Selector to BAKE. 3. Set the Oven Temperature Control Knob to the baking/roasting temperature you want.
Adjusting the oven temperature control Oven temperature controls will gradually shift after years of use. So, even though your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.
5. When broiling is done, turn both the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control Knob to OFF. The OVEN HEAT- ING Indicator Light will go off. Custom broil l If food is cooking too fast, turn the Oven Temperature Control Knob counterclock- wise until the OVEN HEATING Indicator Light goes off.
Broiling tips l Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to drain excess liquid and grease away from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter, smoke or fire. l Refer to a broiling chart in a reliable cookbook for correct broiling times.
The oven vent Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent under the right rear surface unit. You can cook on the unit or keep food warm on it while the oven is on. The vent is needed for air circulation. Do not block the vent. Poor baking/roasting can result.
The anti-tip bracket l To reduce risk of range tipping over, secure range with a properly installed anti-tip bracket supplied with range or an optional wall- mounted anti-tip bracket kit. l If range is moved for cleaning or service, check that anti-tip device is engaged before using range.
