control: Left front, left rear, right
front, right rear burners.
To light, push in knob and turn
the burner control to LITE, then
adjust to the desired flame height.
Turn off by turning the control all
the way to the OFF position.
~~~TE:Always (a)
have a cooking
utensil on grate before turning on
burner. The finish on the grate
may chip without a pan to absorb
the heat. (b) Check to be certain
that the burner turned on !sthe
one you desire to use. (c) Be cer-
tain burners and grates are cool
before placing hand, potholder,
cleaning cloths or other materials
on them.
How WI
sde’ix! Flame’ i=’kight
The height depends on the utensil
size and material, what you are
cooking and whether you arecook-
ing with liquid. Here aresome
basic rules for selecting flame
height:
WRONG
RIGHT’
1. The flame should never extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
Any larger flame is wasted heat
and only serves to heat the pan
handles.
2. Use a full flame, just the size
of the bottom of the pan for fast
heating to cooking temperature
or to heat skillet. Never leaveany
pan or food unattended, or for
long periods at this heat. Boil-
overs or spillovers may cause
smoking or may become hot
enough to catch fire.
3. Foods cook just asquickly at a
gentle boil as at a furious rolling
boil—in both casesthe water
temperature is 212°. A high boil
only creates steam and cooks
away moisture, flavor and nutri-
ents. Avoid it except for the few
cooking processes which need a
vigorous boil.
4. Reduce flame to MEDIUM (or a
low position) to keep foods gently
boiling in a covered utensil. Large
quantities of food, or smaller quan-
tities of food in an uncovered pan,
may require a higher flame then at
MEDIUM (or a low position).
5. Use LOW setting (or a very low
position) to keep foods warm
without additional cooking.
heat quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Minerals in food and water will stain
but will not harm it. A quick scour with a soap-filled steel
wool pad after each use keeps aluminum pans looking
shiny new. Use saucepans with tight fitting lids for
cooking with minimum amounts of water.
CAST IRON:
If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory
results.
utensil BAak?rkd’sand How T-OuseT-I-m-R
ALUMINUM:
Medium-weight utensils are recommended because they
ENAMELWARE: Under some conditions the enamel of some utensils may
melt. Follow utensil manufacturer’s recommendations for
cooking methods.
GLASS:
There are two types of glass utensils—those for oven use
only and those for top-of-the-range cooking (saucepans,
coffee and tea pots). The ovenware may break if used for
surface cooking; and both can break with abrupt temper-
ature changes like setting a hot pan on a cold surface.
Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Range is equipped with a low
temperature thermostat. To ignite
lower oven burner, turn OVEN
TEMP Control to desired tempera-
ture. Wait approximately 40 sec-
onds. This delay is the safety
mechanism in your oven.
In order to maintain the set oven
temperature, the oven burner
will cycle on and off. Do not be
alarmed if there are no flames on
the burner when opening the
door. This means the oven has
reached the set temperature. This
cycle of “on” and “off” continues
during baking.
Baking time is more accurate
with a pre-heated oven. Set OVEN
TEMP Control to correct tem-
perature for about 10 minutes
before placing food in oven. Pre-
heating is especially important
when using temperatures below
225° and for biscuits, cookies,
cakes and other pastries. Pre-
heating is not necessary for
roasting or whole meal cooking
of long duration.
settingFkmge toBake
Step 1: Position shelf in oven
depending on what you are
baking. Most baking is done
on second shelf position from
bottom. If baking on two shelves
at the same time, place shelves
at least 4“ apart for best results.
Step 2: Close door. Turn OVEN
TEMP Control to desired tem-
perature. If pre-heating is neces-
sary, wait about 10 minutes.
Step 3: Place food in oven on
center of shelf. Allow 1or 2
inches between edge of utensil
and oven wall or adjacent uten-
sils. If cooking on two shelves,
stagger foods on shelves.

:
1[’l$n(1) NEVER place pans on
oven bottom. (2) DO NOT cover
entire rack with aluminum foil or
place foil directly under utensil.
To catch spillovers, cut a piece of
foil a Iiitle larger than the pan and
place on another rack 3“ to 4“
below pan, dull side down. (3) DO
NOT keep cooked foods at
sewing temperature any longer
than approximately 11/2to 2 hours.

Broiling is cooking by direct ~eat
from above the food. On your
range there is a convenient
Broiler Compartment below the
oven. Broiling requires the use of
the Broiler Pan and Rack. The
correct position of the rack in the
pan is extremely important as
shown below. Many grease fires
are caused by improper use of
pan and rack. If aluminum foil is
used in bottom of pan, be abso-
lutelysure it doesnot Mock the
drainventsaboveedgeof pan.
WRONG
RIGHT
Distance from the heat source
may be changed by positioning
the Broiler Pan and Rack on one
of three shelf positions in the
Broiler Compartment. Of course,
density and size of food are other
factors involved in position.
Ste~>‘i: If meat has fat or gristle
near edge, cut vertical slashes
through both about 2-in. apart.
It is recommended that fat be
trim freed,leaving a layer about
%-in. thick, to prevent excessive
smoking.
Step 2: Remove broiler pan and
rack from broiler compartment
(coid food will stick if placed on
hot broiler rack). Place food on
broiler rack in broiler pan. Always
use rack so fat drips into broiler
pan; otherwise juices may
become hot enough to catch fire.
Step 3: Pull out drawer and posi-
tion broiler pan in compartment.
Placing food closer to flame
increases exterior browning on
food, but also increases spat-
tering and the possibility of fats
and meat juices igniting. Close
broiler drawer.
Step 4:Set OVEN TEMP Control
to BROIL.
Step 5:Turn most foods once
during cooking; (the exception is
thin fillets of fish; oil one side,
place that side down on broiler
rack and cook without turning
until done). Time foods for about
one-half the total cooking time,
turn food, then continue to cook
to preferred doneness. Where two
thicknesses and times are given
together, use first times given for
thinnest food. NOTE: Foods gen-
erally broiled include steaks,
hamburgers, chicken, fish, lamb
chops, fruit ~nd vegetables. Pork
and veal should not be broiled
because these meats require
longer cooking at lower tempera-
tures to develop their full flavor
and tenderness and to be eaten
safely.
2tep 6:Turn oven to OFF. Remove
broiler pan from compartment
and servefood immediately.
Leavepan outside compartment
to cool.
Step 7: Broiled foods may be kept
ready TOserve in the KEEP-WARM
oven after broiling. After broiling
is complete, turn the thermostat
dial to 170° (KEEP-WARM). Open
door for 10to 15 minutes to allow
excess heat to escape. Place the
broiled food on a serving platter,
cover loosely and place in the
oven.
REMEMBER: DO NOT USE
PLASTIC PLATTERS OR SERV-
ING TRAYS, PLATED SERVING

These models are equipped with a
Continuous Cleaning Oven that
cleans itself while cooking. Care
must be taken to not scratch or
mar this special coating when
removing utensils or shelves. The
side and back of the oven are fin-
ished with a special coating which
cannot be cleaned in the usual
manner with soap, detergents,
commercial oven cleaners, coarse
abrasive pads or coarse brushes.
Their use andjor the use of oven
sprays will cause permanent
damage.
The special coating is a porous
ceramic material which is dark
in color and feels slightly rough
to the touch. If magnified, the
surface would appear as peaks,
valleys, and subsurface “tunnels”.
This rough finish tends to prevent
grease spatters from forming little
beads or droplets which run down
the side walls of a hard-surface
oven liner leaving unsightly
streaks that require hand clean-
ing. instead, when spatter hits the
porous finish it spreads out and is
partially absorbed. This spreading
action increases the exposure of
oven soil to heated air, and makes
it somewhat less noticeable. It
may not disappear completely
and at some time after extended
usage, stains may appear which
cannot be removed.
The special coating works best on
small amounts Gfspatter. it does
not work well with larger spills,
especially sugar, egg, or dairy
mixtures.
~. Let range cool before handling.
2. Remove all cooking utensils
and oven shelves.
3. Soil visibility on surfaces with
the special porous-ceramic finish
may be reduced by operating the
oven at 475°F.Close door and
turn oven temperature control to
475”F for 3 to 4 hours. (Longer
times or repeated cycles will be
necessary for heavy soils.)
CAUTION: During the operation,
the oven, door, window, and other
range surfaces will get hot enough
to cause burns. DO NOT TOUCH.
Let the range cool before replac-
ing oven shelves.
4. If a spillover or heavy soiling
occurs on the special coating, as
soon as practical after the oven
has cooled remove as much of the
soil as possible by using a small
amount of water and a stiff bris-
tled nylon brush.Use water spar-
ingly and change frequently to
keep as clean as possible. Be sure
to blot surface with paper towels,
cloths, or sponges. Do not rub or
scrub with paper towels, cloths
or sponges, since these will leave
unsightly lint. If water leaves a
white ring on the finish as it dries,
use clean water and wipe surface
again, blotting with clean sponge
wipe from outer edge of ring
toward center.
