Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For b’est results, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continLle cooking. SElTiNG 1 RECOMMENDED USE Hi l To start foods cooking. l To bring liquids to a boil.
Home canning informaation To protect your range: l Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results. l Use the largest surface unit for best results. 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 The 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 l/z to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

Broiling tips . Use the broiler pan and grid fclr 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.
Using the MEALTIMER” clock The MEALTIMER clock is designed to turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around. Delayed timed baking/roasting is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven, such as meats and casseroles.

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 bakingroasting can result.
