Bum and Fire Hazard Be sure a contro knobs are turned to OFF and a indicator ights are OFF when you are not cooking. Someone coud be burned or a fire coud start if a surface unit is accidentaty eft ON. 7

8 Unti you get used to the settings, use the foowing as a guide. For best resuts, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the contro knob down to continue cooking. SETTING 1 RECOMMENDED USE I HI To start foods cooking. I To brina iauids to a boi. I To hod a rapid boi. To fry chicken or pancakes. 1 For gravy, pudding and icing. To cook arge amounts of vegetabes. To keep food cooking after starting it on a higher setting. I LO To keep food warm unti ready to serve. Cookware tips Seect a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit. NOTE: For best resuts and greater energy efficiency, use ony fat-bottomed cookware that makes good contact with the surface units. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some porceain enameware) or dented bottoms coud cause severe overheating, which damages the cookware and/or surface unit. You can, however, use newer cookware with sighty indented bottoms or very sma expansion channes. This cookware is speciay designed to provide the good contact needed for best cooking resuts. Aso, woks, canners and teakettes with fat bottoms suitabe for use on your cooktop are now avaiabe in most stores that se housewares. The pan shoud have straight sides and a tight-fitting id. Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairy ightweight. The pan materia (meta or gass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface unit through the pan materia and how eveny heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking resuts. Handes shoud be made of sturdy, heatresistant materia and be securey attached to the pan. Product Damage Hazard If a surface unit stays red for a ong time the bottom of the pan is not fat enough or is too sma for the surface unit. Proonged usage of incorrect utensis for ong periods of time coud resut in damage to the surface unit, cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas. To prevent damage, use correct utensis, start cooking on HI and turn contro down to continue cooking. Do not eave an empty utensi, or one which has boied dry, on a hot surface unit. The utensi coud overheat and coud damage the utensi or surface unit Home canning information To protect your range: Use fat-bottomed canners/pans for best resuts. Use the argest surface unit for best resuts. Aso, 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 propery centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop. Do not pace canner on two surface units at the same time. Too much heat wi buid up and wi damage the cooktop. Start with hot water. This reduces the time the contro is set on high. Reduce heat setting to owest position needed to keep water boiing. Keep refector bows cean for best heat refection. To proong the ife of the eements: - Prepare sma batches at a time. - Do not use eements for canning a day.

9 Optiona canning kit The arge diameter of most water-bath or If you pan to use the cooktop for canning, pressure canners combined with high heat we recommend the instaation of a Canning settings for ong periods of time can shorten Kit. Order the kit (Part No ) from the ife of reguar surface units and cause your Roper deaer or authorized Roper damage to the co&top. service company. Positioning racks and pans For baking/roasting with one rack, pace the rack so the top of the food wi be centered in the oven. Rack pacement for specific foods: FOOD Frozen pies, arge roasts, turkeys Ange and bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast breads, casseroes, meats Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies RACK POSITION Lowest eve or 2nc eve from bottom 2nd eve from bottom 2nd or 3rd eve from bottom When baking on two racks, arrange racks on bottom and third eve from bottom. NOTE: For recommended rack pacement when broiing, see Broiing rack position chart on page 15. Persona Injury Hazard *Aways position oven rack(s) in desired ocation before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is eve. If rack(s) must be moved whie oven is hot, use pothoders or oven mitts to protect hands. Faiure to foow the above precautions coud resut in persona injury. For best air circuation The hot air must circuate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach a parts of the oven. This resuts in better baking. Pace the pans so that one is not directy over the other. For best resuts, aow 1 V Z to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven was. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm). Use ony one cookie sheet in the oven at one time. Use the foowing as a guide to determine where to pace the pans: One pan Pace in the center of the oven rack. Two pans Pace in opposite corners of the oven rack. Three or four pans Pace in opposite corners on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directy over another. 9

10 Using auminum foi for baking Use auminum foi to catch spibvers from pies or casseroes. Pace the foi on the oven rack beow the rack with the food. Turn up foi edges and make sure foi is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) arger a around than the dish Ming the food. Do not cover the entire rack with auminum foi. It wi reduce air circuation and cause poor cooking resutts. Do not ine oven bottom with foi or other iners. Poor baking wi resut. Eectrica Shock and Fire Hazard Do not aow foi to touch the heating eements. Faiure to foow this precaution coud resut in eectrica shock or fire hazard and damage to the eements.

The OVEN HEATING Indicator Light wi gc Off. 12

13 Adjusting the oven temperature contro Oven temperature contros wi graduay shift after years of use. So, even though your new oven is propery adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or sower than your od oven. If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, you can adjust them by foowing these steps: 1. Turn the Oven Temperature Contro Knob to the off position. Pu knob straight off and fip it over. 2. Loosen the ocking screws inside the contro knob. Note the positon of the notches. 3. To ower the temperature, hod knob hande firmy and move the tooth a notch countercockwise. Each notch equas about 10 F (5 C). 4. To raise the temperature, hod knob hande firmfy and move the tooth a notch cockwise. Each notch equas about 10 F (5 C). 5. Tighten the ocking screws and repace the contro knob.

They are designed to drain excess iquid and grease away from the cooking surface to hep prevent spatter, smoke or fire. Refer to a broiing chart in a reiabe cookbcok for correct broiing times. After broiing, remove the broier pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings wi bake on the pan if you eave it in the heated oven. Fire Hazard Pace meat the correct distance from the eement. Meat paced too cose to the eement coud spatter, smoke, bum or catch fire during broiing. To ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or simiar pans for broiing. Aso, covering the broier grid with foi is not recomm ended. Poor drainage of grease coud resut in fire. If foi is used, cut sits in foi to ine up with a openings in broier grid. Grease can then drain away and coo in pan. 15

16 Energy saving tips Athough the energy used for cooking is usuay a very sma percentage of the tota energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficienty. Here are some tips to hep you save energy when using your cooking product: Use pans with fat bottoms, straight sides and tight-fitting ids. Match the pan to the surface unit size. Cook with a minimum of iquid or fat to hep shorten cooking time. Preheat pans onty when recommended and for the shortest time possibe. Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface unit contro on ow or off to finish cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when possibe. Use the more efficient surface units instead of the oven when possibe. Turn on the surface unit ony after pacing fied pan on the unit. Oven peeking may cause heat oss, onger cooking times and unsatisfactory baking resuts. Rey on your timer to keep track of the cooking time. Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is warm. Best time to bake is right after a mea has been cooked in the oven. Preheat the oven no onger than neces- WV. Pan your meats for the most efficient use of the range. When using the oven to cook one food, try to cook the rest of the mea in it aso. Do not preheat when broiing, roasting or cooking items such as casseroes. Keep refector bows cean for best heat refection. Using the MEALTIMER cock The MEALTIMER cock is designed to turn the oven on and off at times you set... even when you are not around. Deayed time baking/roasting is idea for foods which do not require a preheated oven, such as meats and casseroes. Do not use deayed time cooking for cakes, cookies, etc.... undercooking wi resut. Before using the MEALTIMER cock, make sure the cock Is set to the correct time of day. (See Setting the eectronic cock on page 10.) To deay start and stop automaticay: 1.
