SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Read all instructions BASIC l l l RANGE before using this appliance SAFETY CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range, on the backguard, or backsplash of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near a range.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS If you must reach over a surface burner, turn Use DRY sturdy pot holders. DAMP POT MAY CAUSE BURNS FROM STEAM. Dish other substitutes are not recommended for trail across hot surface burners and ignite or on range parts. burner off. HOLDERS towels or they may get caught GREASE HOT GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Avoid letting grease deposits collect around range, range hood or in vent fan. Do not leave can of drippings around range.
Lower Oven Pllot: Remove oven racks and oven bottom. Hold a lighted match to the pilot located at the far end of the oven burner. When pilot is lighted, replace oven bottom and oven racks. Be sure to secure the two screws located at the front of the oven bottom. n Eye Level Oven Pilot: Remove oven racks and oven bottom. Hold a lighted match to the pilot located along the left end of the burner. The pilot flame is partially hidden by a metal shield so it may be difficult to actually see the flame.
HOW TO OPERATE APPLIANCE EQUIPPED WITH SOLID STATE IGNITION IN THE EVENT OF A PROLONGED POWER FAILURE TRI-TEMP@ BURNER ADJUSTMENT The Tri-Tempo burner valve has “click” sounds to identify the HIGH, MEDIUM and WARM settings. To adjust the flame size: 1. Push in and turn surface burner knob to HIGH. For ranges equipped with Solid State Ignition, turn knob past HIGH to (START) or the light position.
SURFACE HOW A SURFACE BURNER COOKING WORKS INFORMATION HOW TO OPERATE WITH PILOTS When the surface burner valve (A) is turned on, gas enters the mixer tube or venturi (B) and comes in contact with air. This air/gas mixture flows to the burner head (C) and is lighted by either the flame from the pilot or a spark from the solid state iqnitor (D). SURFACE BURNERS Your range or built-in surface unit is equipped with one of two types of surface burner valves.
FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING CORRECT FLAME SIZE SIZE OF COOKING UTENSIL: FLAME SIZE SHOULD BE ADJUSTED SO IT DOES NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE EDGE OF THE COOKING UTENSIL FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY AND TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO CABINETS ABOVE RANGE. Adjusting the size of the flame to fit the size of the cooking utensil also helps to save fuel.
SURFACE BURNERS DISCOLORATION WILL ALSO OCCUR THE SURFACE BURNER WHEN: Shipping screws are used to secure each surface burner to the range during transportation. Once range is installed, the screws should be removed. 1. The burner is turned on without a pan In place to absorb heat. This is especially critical when the flame is adjusted to the MEDIUM flame setting. 2. Incorrect cleaning agents are used. Some cleaning agents can scratch or dull the aluminum finish of the burner head. 3.

RANGE EYE LEVEL RANGE WITH LIGHTED BACKSPLASH LIGHTS Surface Lights: Your range or built-in unit may be equipped with one of the following two types of light switches: either a push in switch marked TOP which you hold until the light comes on or a flip switch marked SURFACE LIGHT Oven Lights: Your range or built-in oven may be equipped with one of the following two types of oven light switches: either a push in switch marked OVEN, or a flip switch marked OVEN LIGHT.
BASIC INFORMATION ON OVEN COOKING AND BROILING HOW THE OVEN WORKS PREHEATING Wh’en the Oven Temperature Control is turned to a desired setting, there will be a 45 to 60 second delay before the oven burner lights. This delay is for safety considerations. When the oven reaches the temperature set on the Oven Temperature Control, the oven burner will automatically cycle on and off to maintain the preset temperature.
HINTS FOR SUCCESSFUL ROASTNG Roasting is the cooking of tender cuts of meat with dry heat. No water is added nor is the cooking utensil covered. Searing is unnecessary. If desired, season meat with salt and pepper. Check weight of meat and place fat-side-up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Arrange oven rack in one of the two bottom rack positions betore oven is turned on. Preheating is unnecessary for roasting meats. Meats are roasted at 325°F. except tenderloin (425” F.
HINTS FOR SUCCESSFUL BAKING OVEN RACKS: Arrange oven racks in the correct positions BEFORE the oven is turned on. If using only one rack, position rack so the food is near the center of the oven. If using both racks, allow 3 to 4 inches between racks. The racks should be arranged so they divide the oven in thirds, PAN PLACEMENT: Allow 2 inches between utensils and the oven walls. Utensils should not touch each other, the oven walls or the oven window, on models so equipped.
COMMON BAKING PROBLEMS AND WHY THEY HAPPEN FOOD NOT DONE AT END OF COOKING TIME. -Temperature too low. --incorrect use of aluminum foil. -Too many pans on a rack. -Oven door opened frequently. PIE BURNS AROUND EDGE OF CRUST. -Temperature too high. -Pans touching each other or the oven walls. -Edge of pie crust too tall. CAKE NOT DONE IN CENTER. -Temperature too high. -Pan too small. -Pan not in center of oven. PIE HAS SOAKED CRUST. -Temperature too low at start of baking. -Filling too juicy.
HINTS FOR SUCCESSFUL BROILING Before broiling, trim excess fat to prevent excessive spattering and cut slashes around the outer edges of the meat to prevent the meat from curling during cooking. Food must be placed on the broiler tray in the broiler pan to allow fat to drip to the pan below. Fat may become hot enough to ignite if directly exposed to the flame. Place food on a cold, ungreased broiler tray. ings to allow fat to drip to pan below.
CARE INFORMATION Be sure the range or built-in oven is cool before removing parts for cleaning. After removing any part, be sure it is correctly replaced. OVEN DOOR OVEN There are two types of oven doors-lift off and nonlift off. The lift off door is identified by the two hinge slots located behind the hinge arms on the door. To remove lift off door: Open door to the “stop” position (opened about 4-inches) and grasp doorwith both hands at sides of the door.
OVEN BOTTOM LOWER BROILER COMPARTMENT The oven bottom is insulated to eliminate hot spots directly above the oven burner. Eliminating the hot spots greatly increases the baking efficiency as well as the cooking capacity of the oven. To remove oven bottom: Be sure oven bottom is cool. First remove oven racks, then loosen the two screws located along the front of the oven bottom. Slide the screws back to release the front of the oven bottom.
GENERAL Control Knobs CLEANING Mrid detergent Soap 8 ‘Waler Paste of baking soda & water Window cleaning fluid or ammonia End panels, Soap polyester Grates Wash with cloth wrung out in soapy water. soil with paste of baking soda an water.

SPECIAL CONTINUOUS CLEANING WHAT IS THE CONTINUOUS OVEN FEATURES OVEN Brittle crusts or varnish-type stains can be loosened by GENTLY tapping stain with a wooden or plastic utensil. Brush away any loose soil that flakes off. Remaining soil will gradually reduce with continued oven use at normal baking temperatures. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF OVEN CLEANER, POWDERED CLEANSERS, SOAP, DETERGENT OR PASTE ON ANY CONTINUOUS CLEANING SURFACE.
PROGRAMMED OVEN COOKING DELAY COOK AND HOLD This feature offers you the ability to program the oven, at your convenience for up to 7 hours of cooking. At the preselected time-of-day, the oven will automatically turn on, cook the food for the preselected length of time and then reduce to a keep-warm temperature. The oven will hold this setting until you manually turn the oven off.
