This section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range. Using the surface burners Your range is equipped with either standing piots or eectric ignitors. Standing piots must be it initiay with a match foowing the directions on page 11. The piot ight wi remain it when the burners are turned off. To turn a burner on again, just push in and turn the contro knob to LITE and the burner wi ight. Eectric ignitors automaticay ight the burners each time the contro knob is turned to LITE. Push in contro knobs and turn them to the LITE position. On eectric ignitor modes, the cicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Visuay check that burner has it. After the burner ights, turn the contro knob to the desired setting. You can set the contro knob anywhere between HI and LO. Surface burner markers The soid dot in the surface burner marker shows which surface burner is turned on by that knob. Burner heat settings Use correct burner heat settings (see next page). If the heat setting is too high, it can: Char bacon and cause curing. Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges. Toughen iver, fish and seafood. Scorch deicate sauces and custards. Cause a boiover. -
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 RECOMMENDED USE LITE To ight the burner. After the burner ights, turn contro back to a desired setting. HI To start foods cooking. To bring iquids to a boi. Medium. To hod a rapid boi.. To fry chicken or pancakes. For gravy, pudding and icing. 8 To cook arge amounts of vegetabes. LO To keep food warm unti ready to serve. IOTE: Do not cook with the contro in the LITE position. In case of a proonged power faiure Surface burners with eectric ignitors can be manu- ay ighted. Hod a it match near a burner and sowy turn the contro knob on unti the burner ights. After the burner ights, turn the contro knob to the desired settino. Power faiures wi not affect Cookware tips There is no one brand of cooking utensi that is best for a peope. Knowing something about pan materias and construction wi hep you seect the correct cooking utensis for your needs. NOTE: For best resuts and greater fue efficiency, use ony fat-bottomed utensis that make good contact with the surface burners. Utensis with rounded, warped, ridged (porceain ename-ware) or dented bottoms coud cause severe overheating, which damages the utensi and/or surface burner. 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 tightfitting 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 burners 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 a sturdy, heatresistant materia and be securey attached to the pan. Pans shoud be easy to cean. Check to be sure there are no crevices, rough edges or areas where food might coect. standing piots. Do not attempt to operate an eectric ignition oven during a power faiure. Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are fu or empty.. Use utensis ony as they were intended to be Burn, Fire, Exposion and Product Damage Hazard Burner fame shoud not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensi. The fame can burn you and cause poor cooking resuts. Be sure a contro knobs are turned to OFF when you are not cooking. Someone coud be burned or a fire coud start if a burner is accidentay eft ON. If the fame shoud go out whie cooking, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the gas odor to disappear before reighting burner. If gas odor is sti present, see safety note on page 3. Faiure to foow these precautions coud resut in exposion or fire. Do not eave an empty utensi, or one which has boied dry, on a hot surface burner. The utensi can overheat and may damaqe the utensi or cookinq product. used. Foow pan instructions. This is very important for gass cookware because some shoud be used ony in the oven. Other pans are marked as fameware and may be used on the surface burners.
Home canning information The arger diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for ong periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop. To protect your range: For best resuts, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner. 9 Do not pace canner on two surface burners 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. 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: Persona Injury Hazard 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 1 st or 2nd rack guide from bottom 2nd rack guide from bottom 2nd or 3rd rack guide from bottom When baking on two racks, arrange racks on first and third rack guides from bottom. 6th oven rack position (roasting rack) When roasting food too arge to be paced in oven with rack in owest position, pace rack on bottom of oven. For proper roasting, foow these guideines: The rack must be eve. Use adequate amount of iquid (meat juices or water) so food does not get overdone.. Do not try to pu rack out over door. Rack wi be at the same eve as door when door is opened. 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. Do not pace items on the open oven door. Be carefu when instaing and removing arge food items from sixth rack position. Food wi be cose to hot surfaces, incuding oven bottom and sides. Faiure to foow the above precautions may resut in persona injury. 6th oven rack position
For best air circuation Hot air must circuate around the pans in the oven for even hear 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 X-2 inches (4-5 cm) of spacearoundeachpan andbetweenpansand 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 to pace the pans. One pan Pace in the center of the oven rack. Two pans Pace in opposite corners of the oven rack where Three or four pans Pace in opposite corners on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directy over another. IO
Lighting standing piots (modes SF3OOOSY, SF304BSA, SF302BSA and SF302PSY) To ight range piots: Make sure a contros are turned off. Remove the surface burner grates from the cooktop. Lift the cooktop. (See Lift-up cooktop on page 16.) To ight, hod a it match over the piot ight ocated between the front and back burners. The piot fame shoud be %to 3/s in (.6- cm) high. 4. If the piot fame needs adjustment, turn the piot adjustment screw midway down the ength of the manifod pipe, behind the contro pane. 5. Lower the cooktop and repace the grates before using the surface burners. To ight oven burner piot: 1. Make sure the Oven Temperature Contro is turned off 2. Remove the oven bottom (see Removing the oven bottom on page 18). Then unscrew the burner baffe ocated on the burner (see Instaation Instructions for more information about the baffe). 3. Hod a it match over the oven burner piot ocated at the rear of the burner. 4. After the oven burner piot is burning steadiy, check burner ighting by turning the Oven Temperature Contro to a temperature above 140 F (SO C). The burner wi take 50-60 seconds to ight. 5. Repace the burner baffe and oven bottom. 11
Baking/roasting 1. Position the rack(s) propery before turning on the oven. To change rack position, ift rack at front and pu out. For further information, see Positioning racks and pans on page 9. 2. Push in and turn the Oven Temperature Contro to the baking/roasting temperature you want. The oven burner wi automaticay ight in 50-60 seconds. 3. When baking, preheat the oven for 10 minutes. Put food in the oven. NOTE: Do not preheat when roasting or cooking items such as casseroes. Do not pace food directy on the oven bottom. 4. During baking/roasting, the oven burner wi turn on and off to maintain the temperature setting. 5. When baking/roasting is done, turn the Oven Temperature Contro to OFF. 12
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: Push in and turn the Oven Temperature Contro Knob to the off position. Pu knob straight off and fip it over. Loosen the ocking screws inside the contro knob. Note the position of the notches. To ower the temperature, hod knob hande firmy and move the tooth a notch cockwise. Each notch equas about 10 F (5 C). To raise the temperature, hod knob hande firmy and move the tooth a notch countercockwise. Each notch equas about 10 F (5 C). Tighten the ocking screws and repace the contro knob. To ower Broiing The broier drawer is ocated beow the oven door Aways broi with the oven door cosed. Pi the broier drawer open and tit the door pane down. Pace broier pan grid so grease can drain down ribbing and through sots into ower part of the broier pan. See picture. Before the broier is turned on, pace food on broier pan and position the broier pan at one of the three eves. Refer to a reiabe cookbook for broiing chart. Drain sot Rib Front Side view
4. Push in and turn the Oven Temperature Contro to BROIL. The broier wi automaticay ight in 50-60 seconds. 5. When broiing is done, turn the Oven Temperature Contro to OFF. NOTE: Do not preheat the broier before using. Competey cose the broier drawer during broiing. 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. Cook with a minimum of iquid or fat to hep shorten cooking time. Preheat pans ony when recommended and for the shortest time possibe. 9 Stat- food on higher heat settings, then set surface burner contro on ow or off to finish cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when possibe.. Use the more efficient surface burners instead of the oven when possibe. Turn on the surface burner ony after pacing fied pan on the burner grate. 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 is after a mea has been cooked in it. Preheat the oven no onger than necessary. Pan your meas 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. The oven vent Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent ocated under the backguard. The vent is needed for air circuation. Do not bock the vent. Poor baking/roasting wi resut. NOTE: Never store pastics, paper or other items that coud met or burn near the oven vent, or any of the surface burners. Burn Hazard When the oven is ON, pans and pan handes eft near the oven vent can become hot enough to burn the user and to met pastics. Use pothoders move pans. to 14
