To keep food cooking after To keep food warm until rsady to serve. tips Select a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit.
Home canning information 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. Large diameter canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop. l Do not place canner on two surface units at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop.
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 beet results, allow 1 ‘h to 2 inches (4-!j cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm). l Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at one time.
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 see “Positioning racks and pans” on page 9. 2. Set the Oven Selector to BAKE. 3. Sat the Oven Temperature Control Knob to the baking/roasting temperature you want. The OVEN HEATING Indicator Light will come on. The oven is preheated when the OVEN HEATING Indicator Light first goes off.
Adjusting the oven temperature 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. If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, you can change them by following these steps: 1. Make sure the Oven Temperature Contr’Dl Knob is turned to the off position. Pull knob straight off and flip it over. 2.
Custom broil If food Is cooking too fast, turn the Oven Temperature Control Knob counterclockwise until the OVEN HEATING Indicator Light goes off. l tf you want the food to broil slower from the start, set the Oven Temperature Control Knob between 170°F and 325°F (77% and 163°C). Thes#e temperature settings allow the broil heating element to cycle and to slow cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.
Energy saving tips Atthough the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used In the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product: l Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides and tight-fitting lids. l Match the pan to the surface unit size. l Cook with a minimum of liquid or grease to help shorten cooking time. l Preheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.
