Using your range Using the Surface Units I I Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a setting. They can be set anywhere 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.
Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high settings; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.
The Electronic MEALTIMER’” Clock The electronic MEALTIMER’” Clock handles many different types of functions. The following operating hints may be helpful when using the clock: l The numbers on the Display change rapidly when turning the Set Knob.
Setting the Electronic Clock When you first plug in the oven or if your electricity goes off for a while, each light in the Display will flash in sequence. Then, 4 eights and the Min/Sec Timer and Bake Hours Indicator Lights will flash. The flashing means that the clock is ready to be set.
Using the Electronic Minute Timer The Minute Timer does not start or stop the oven. It works like a kitchen timer. It can be set in minutes and seconds up to 99 minutes. You will hear beeps when the set time is up. 1. Push in the Min/Sec Timer Button.
Using the Oven Controls Baking 1. Position the rack(s) properly before turning on the oven. To change rack position, lift rack at front and pull out. 2. Set the Oven Selector on BAKE. The ON Indicator Light will come on. 4. Put food in the oven. During bak- ing, the elements will turn on and off to keep the oven temperature at the setting.
Adjusting the Oven Temperature Control Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperature of your old oven may have shifted gradually without you noticing the change. Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures.
Broiling . Position the rack before turning the oven on. See “Broil Chart” in the Cooking Guide or a reliable cookbook for recommended rack positions, 3. Close the door to the Broil Stop position (open about 4 inches, 10.2 cm]. The door will stay open by itself.
Using the Electronic MEALTIMER’” Clock The electronic MEALTIMER’” Clock is designed to turn the oven on and off at times you set, even if you are not around. Automatic baking is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven, such as meats and casseroles.
7. When the baking time is com- plete, the oven will beep for 1-2 minutes. To stop, push the Bake Hours Button. Turn the Oven Selec- tor and Oven Temperature Control to OFF 8.
7. Set the clock for the length of baking time you want: Push in the Bake Hours Button, then turn the Set Knob until the length of baking time you want shows in the Display. This example shows 2 hours, 15 minutes. Bake Hours can be set for up to 11 hours, 59 minutes.
To avoid sickness and food waste when using the MEALTIMER’” control: l Do not use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to start, such as dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, and cooked meats or fish. Any food that has to wait for cooking to start should be very cold or frozen before it is put in the oven.

Setting the Controls Be sure the kitchen is ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle. This will help heat, odors and smoke to disappear from the room as quickly as possible. 1. Set the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control on CLEAN. 2. Move the Lock Lever all the way to the right-the Clean position.

How It Works During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking or broiling...approximately 875°F (468°C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and burns it off. This graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a Self- Cleaning cycle for 3 hours.
