OPERATING YOUR RANGE COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS TO AVOID THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY, DAMAGE TO THE RANGE OR COOKWARE, PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES: Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc., must never be used on the cooktop. Placement of large stock pots must be staggered when used on the cooktop. Select the base diameter of the pot to match the diameter of the flame. The diameter of the flame and the diameter of the pan bottom must match, or be slightly smaller.
PAGE 16
OPERATING YOUR RANGE OVEN OPERATION To light the oven, push in and turn the thermostat to the desired operating temperature from 150ºF to 500ºF. You may be able to see a bright glow from the sides of the oven bottom – this is normal and indicates the hot surface igniter is activated. Once the igniter is hot enough for ignition, the gas valve will open, allowing the flow of gas into the bake burner. This may take up to one minute.

CARE & CLEANING DRYING AND DEHYDRATING While the United States Department of Agriculture advises: DO NOT hold foods at temperature between 40ºF to 140ºF more than 2 hours – and cooking raw foods below 275ºF is not recommended, the low setting of the oven (ranging from 150ºF to 225ºF) may be used to keep food hot and in special recipes, used to dehydrate fruits and vegetables.
PAGE 19
CARE & CLEANING CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS PART / MATERIAL CLEANING SUGGESTIONS BEING CAREFUL Main Top/ Porcelain Enamel Soft Scrub may be used here. With a cool or slightly warm surface, use a damp sponge or cloth as recommended by the manufacturer. Since the surface is glass (it can be scratched by certain materials) try to rub gently in small circles to allow time and chemical reactions to take place. Sealed Burners (Cuisine) Caps and burner heads can be removed for cleaning using hot sudsy water.
