This section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range. Using the surface units Push in contro knobs before turning them to a setting. You can set anywhere between HI and OFF. Surface unit markers The soid dot in the surface unit marker shows which surface unit is turned on by that knob. Surface heating indicator ight The SURFACE HEATING Indicator Light on the contro pane wi gow when a surface unit is turned on. Burn 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 accidentay eft ON.
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. t SETNG HI RECOMMENDED USE To start foods cooking. To bring iquids to a boi. MED-HI To hod a rapid boi. To fry chicken or pancakes. For gravy, pudding and icing. To cook arge amounts of vegetabes. To keep food cooking after starting it on a higher setting. To keep food warm unti readv to serve. 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 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. 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 utensis that make good contact with the surface units. Utensis with rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some porceain enameware) or dented bottoms coud cause severe overheating, which damages the utensi and/or surface unit. 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. 8
Home canning information To protect your range: Use fat-bottomed canners/pans for best resuts. Use the argest surface unit for best resub. 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. 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 1 cakes, most quick breads, yeast I breads, casseroes, meats Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, non- 1 frozen pies RACK POSITION Lowest eve or 2nd 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. Optiona canning kit The arge diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for ong periods of time can shorten the ife of reguar surface units and cause damage to the cooktop. If you pan to use the cooktop for canning, we recommend the instaation of a Canning Kit. Order the kii (Part No. 242905) from your Roper deaer or authorized Roper service company. NOTE: For recommended rack pacement when broiing, see Broiing rack position chart on page 13. 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 co& resut in persona injury. 9
For best air circuation 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% 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. Using auminum foi for baking Use auminum foi to catch spiovers 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 (3 cm) arger a around than the dish hoding the fcx3d. Do not cover the entire rack with auminum foi. It wi reduce air circuation and cause poor cooking resuts. Do not ine oven bottom or entire oven rack with foi or other iners. Poor baking wi resut. 10 Eectrica Shock and Fire Hazard Do not aow foi to touch the heating eements. Faiure to foow this precaution coud resut in shock or fire hazard and damage to the eements.
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, sea Positioning racks and pans on page 9. 2. Set the Oven Seector to BAKE. 3. Set the Oven Temperature Contro Knob to the baking/roasting temperature you want. The OVEN HEATING Indicator Light wi come on. The oven is preheated when the OVEN HEATING Indicator Light first goes off. NOTE: Do not preheat oven when roasting or cooking items such as casseroes. 4. Put food in the oven. During baking/ roasting, the eements wi turn on and off to maintain the temperature setting. The OVEN HEATING Indicator Light wi turn on and off with the eements. NOTE: The top eement heps heat during baking/roasting, but does not turn red. 5. When baking/roasting is done, turn both the Oven Seector and the Oven Temperature Contro Knob to OFF. The OVEN HEATING Indicator Light wi go Off. 11
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 change 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 position of the notches. 3. To ower the temperature, hod knob hande firmy and move the tooth a notch countercockwise. Each notch equas about 5 F (2.5%). 4. To raise the temperature, hod knob hande firmy and move the tooth a notch cockwise. Each notch equas about 5 F (2.5%). Tighten the ocking screws and repace the contro knob. Broiing 1. Position the rack propery before turning on the oven. Position rack so that the surface of the food is at east 3 inches (7.4 cm) away from the broi eement. See Broiing rack position chart on page 13. 2. 3. 4. Put the broier pan and food on the rack. Cose the door to the Broi Stop position (open about 4 inches [10.2 cm]). The door wi stay open by itsef. Set the Oven Seector and Oven Temperature Contro Knob to BROIL. The OVEN HEATING Indicator Light wi come on. NOTE: Do not preheat oven when broiing. To rais Notches \ / To ower L&king screws 12
5. When broiing is done, turn both the Oven Seector and Oven Temperature Contro Knob to OFF. The OVEN HEAT- ING Indicator Light wi go off. Custom broi If food is cooking too fast, turn the Oven Temperature Contro Knob countercockwise unti the OVEN HEATING Indicator Light goes off. If you want the food to broi sower from the start, set the Oven Temperature Contro Knob between 170 F and 325 F (77 C and 163 C). These temperature settings aow the broi heating eement to cyce and to sow cooking. The ower the temperature, the sower the cooking. Fish and chicken are some foods that may cook better if you use ower broiing temperatures. The Oven Seector must be on BROIL for a broiing temperatures. NOTE: Leave the oven door party open whenever using the oven to broi. This aows the oven to maintain proper temperatures.

Broiing tips Use the broier pan and grid for broiing. 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 cookbook 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. 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 ony 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. Fire Hazard. Pace meat the correct distance from the eement. Meat paced too cose to the eement coud spatter, smoke, burn 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 recommended. 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. 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 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. Keep refector bows cean for best heat refection. 14
The oven vent Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent under the right rear surface unit. You can cook on the unit or keep food warm on it whie the oven is on. The vent is needed for air circuation. Do not bock the vent. Poor baking/roasting can resut. NOTE: Pastic utensis eft over the vent can met. Burn and Fire Hazard If you eave a utensi on the right rear surface unit, use pothoders when moving it. Pan handes coud become hot enough to burn. Keep fammabe materias away from oven vent. Faiure to do so coud resut in burns or a fire. The storage drawer You can remove the storage drawer to make it easier to cean under the range and to check for instaation of the anti-tip foor bracket (ii you have one). Use care when handing the drawer. Removing the storage drawer: 1. Empty drawer of any pots and pans before removing drawer. Pu drawer straight out to the first stop. Lift front and pu out to the second stop. 2. Lift back sighty and side drawer a the way out. Repacing the storage drawer: 1. Fit ends of drawer side rais into the drawer guides on both sides of opening. 2. Lift drawer front and push in unti meta stops on drawer side rais cear white stops on drawer guides. Lift drawer front again to cear second stop and side drawer cosed.
The anti-tip bracket The range wi not tip during norma use. However, tipping can occur if you appy too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket propery secured. To reduce risk of range tipping over, secure range with a propery instaed anti-tip bracket suppied with range or an optiona wamounted anti-tip bracket kit. If range is moved for ceaning or service, check that anti-tip device is engaged before using range. Faiure to foow the above precautions coud resut in persona injury. To verify the anti-tip bracket is engaged (if you have a foor bracket): Remove the storage drawer. (See page 15.) Look to see if the anti-tip bracket is attached to foor with screws. Make sure one rear eveing eg is positioned under the anti-tip bracket. See Instaation Instructions for further detais. To verify the anti-tip bracket is engaged (if you have a wa bracket): Look to see if the anti-tip bracket is attached with screws to the wa behind the contro pane.
