COOKTOP CONTROL
For best cooking results and energy efficient operation,
you should use pans that:
A. Have flat bottoms and straight sides.
B. Have light handles that do not tilt pans.
C. Are about the same size as the element.
When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent
under the right rear cooktop element. This hot air may
make pot handles hot or melt plastic items left too near
the vent. The vent Is necessary for proper oven perform-
ance. Do not block It.
Never line the bowls below
cooktop elements with aluminum
foil. Foil can block normal heat
flow and damage the range. This is
especially true if foil blocks the
oven vent tube under the right rear
cooktop element.

OVEN COOKING
When cooking a food for the first Ume In your new
oven, use time given on recipes as • guide.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and Is more apt to be accurate than the oven It
replaced.
After you have used you oven for awhlis, If you feel
your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust
It yourself. See THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENTS In
this manual.
Always follow recipe carefully.
Measure Ingredients properly.
Use proper pan placement.
Place pans on the oven racks wIth 1" - 1 1/2" of elf
space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
the oven.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the
oven bottom, block the free movement of air. Ira-
proper air movement causes uneven browning and
cooking.
Avoid opening the door too often to check the food
during baking as heat will be lost. This may cause
poor baking results.
Cakes, cooklea, muffins, and quick breads should
be baked in shiny pane -- to reflect the heat m
because they should have a light golden crust.
Yeast breads and pie crusts should be baked In
glass or dull (non-shiny) pans B to absorb the heat
because they should have a brown, crisp crust.
Be sure the underside of the pan Is shiny too.
Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may
cause over browning on the bottom of your food.
2 cake layers
4 cake Isyers
When baking several Items stagger pans so that no
pan is directly above another.
Always turn oven to OFF before removing food.
During baking, avoid frequent door openings. Keep
oven door open as short a time as possible.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking
baked products. Watch the Indicator light end put
the food In the oven promptly after the light goes out.
Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures If exterior of pan
Is prederkened, darkened by age or oven proof
glass.
There may be soma odor when the oven Is first used.
This Is caused by the heating of new parts and
Insulation.
Do not cover an entire oven rack wIth foil. The foil
can block normal heat flow end cause poor baking
results. Do not place any foil dlracUyabove the bake
element. Foil used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface; therefore, It
should not be used.
Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets
without aides to allow the air to circulate properly.
When recipes rsqulrs prsheatlng, have food nearby
before you open the oven door. If the oven door Is
allowed to remain open for more than a brief time,
the preheat temperature will be lost.
Use rssldual heat In oven whenever possible to
finish cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. Use
residual heat when baking rolls or precooked des-
serts.
7 NEOVC02-2
BROILING
Broiling Is cooking by direct heat from the broil
burner. Tender cuts of meet or marinated meat
should be selected for broiling. For beat results
steaks and chops should be at least 3/4" thick.
After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on
the reck In the oven. The recommended rack posi-
tion and cooking time can be found In the chart at
right.
The closer the food Is to the broil burner, the faster
the meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink
In the center. Moving the meat farther away from the
burner lets the meat cook to the center while brown-
Ing outslde. Side one should be cooked I - 2 minutes
longer than side two_
Your oven door should be open to the broil
stop position while broiling. If the door is
closed the food will roast and not broil.
Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for broiling. They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
Do not preheat when broiling. Preheating may
cause the thermostat to cycle the broil burner off
and on. For even broiling on both sides, start the
food on a cold pan.
Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops.
Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before
turning the meat. Salt the second side just before
serving.
Brush chicken and fish wlth butter several times as
they broil. When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking and broil with skin side down. It Is
not necessary to turn fish.
Never leave a soiled broiler pan in the range.
Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next time
the oven is used.
• Be sure you know the correct procedure for
putting out a grease fire. See the section on
safety.
Do not cover the enUre broiler
grid with foil. Poor drainage of
hot fat my cause • broiler fire.
If • fire starts, close the oven
doer and turn controls off. If
fire €onUnues, throw baking
soda on the fire. Do not put
water on the fire.

CONTINUOUS-CLEANING OVEN FINISH
The rough surfaces In your oven have a continuous-
cleaning finish. Spatters spread and fill the pores of this
special finish and then gradually burn away at medium
to high temperatures.
Heavy splllovers orbollovers need a little help from you:
Use clear water and a detergent or a cleanser such
as Fantastlk®, Liquid Ajax®, Top Job®, Liquid Lysol®
or Mr. Clean®, mixed In water, and a soft cloth or
nylon brush to clean any heavy splllovers.
Do not use paper towels or sponges because
particles of these materials will rub off and clog the
pores of the oven finish.
Crusty and varnish-like stains clog the pores In the
finish and must be removed or broken up before
cleaning takes place. They can be loosened by
gently tapping the stain with a wooden or plastic
utensil.
After cleaning the oven surface, rinse It well using
three tablespoons of vinegar mixed with a quart of
cold water. Blot up excess liquid.
Never scrape or use abrasive materials such as
scouring powders, commercial oven cleaners or
steel scouring pads for cleaning up splllovers. These
materials will scratch and damage the finish.
The remaining soil will gradually burn off with normal
oven use.
The oven will appear presentably clean, but some spat-
ters may be present.
The higher the oven temperature,the faster the cleaning
action. Cleaning time depends on type and amount of
soil, oven temperature and length of oven use.
Ifstubborn stains remain after normal oven use, you can
operate the oven empty at 400°F for additional continu-
ous cleaning action.
Some foods may leave a discoloration even when the
surface Is clean.
The continuous-cleaning process Is Illustrated below:
1
4
1. A splllover has formed a mound of soil
2. The splllover has been wlpad up.
3. Amount of soil remaining after four hours of oven use
at 400°F.
4, After eight hours of oven use at 400°F, the soil Is
removed.
You can protect the oven bottom from spillovers by
using a piece of foil under your utensil Cut the foil
slightly larger than the pan and turn up the edges. Use
two oven racks and put the foil on the lower rack below
the pan. Do not use foil on the same rack as the
pan. This will reflect heat away.
Do not cover an entire oven rack
with foil. The foil can block normal
heat flow and cause poor baking
results. Do not place any foil di-
rectly above the bake element. Foil
used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven sur-
face; therefore it should not be
used.
Avoid spllllng salt on the continuous-cleaning finish.
Salt may become trapped In the pores and may cause
rusting.
Never use oven cleaner on the continuous-cleaning
finish. Such cleaners will damage the finish.
