USING MESURFACE BURNERS Eneryysavingtips Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard Do not operate with a yellow flame. Doing so can result in death, heart attack, or convulsions. Your range comes with electric ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically light the burners each time you turn the control knobs to LIGHT.
In caseof a prolongedpowerfailure Cookware tips You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the LIGHT position. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the setting you want. 0 The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid. 0 Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) cookware. 0 The pan material (metal or glass) affects how quickly and evenly the pan heats.
Extraovenrackposition(roastingrack) Use this rack position when roasting food too large to be placed on the first rack position. For proper roasting, follow these guidelines: 0 The rack must be level. 0 Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan (meat juices or water) so your food does not get overdone. 0 To pull the rack over the door you must tilt the rack up at the front. If the rack is loaded with food, tilting the rack could cause the food to spill.
USING MEMINUTE IIMER The minute timer does not start or stop the oven. It works like a kitchen timer. Set it in minutes up to an hour. You will hear a buzzer when the set time is up. NOTE: Do not push in the knob when setting the minute timer. Pushing in and turning the minute timer knob changes the clock setting. 1.

NOTES: 0 Do not preheat when roasting. 0 Do not place your food directly on the oven bottom.
Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven. If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the temperature calibration by following the steps below. NOTE: DO NOT measure the oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an incorrect reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will change as your oven cycles. 1.
NOTES: 0 Do not preheat when broiling. l The oven control knob must be on BROIL for broiling temperatures. 2. Put your food on the broiler pan and place the pan in the center of the oven rack. 1.

They are designed to drain excess liquid and grease away from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter, smoke, or fire.
THE OVEN VENT Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through late properly. Be careful not to block the vent, or you will get poor baking/roasting results. NOTE: Never store plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any of the surface burners. Burn Hazard Use pot holders when touching items left near oven vent. Failure to do so can result in burns. THE ANMP BRACKET The range will not tip during normal use.
