Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used effi- ciently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product.

lUse pans with flat bottoms, straight sides and tight-fitting lids.

lCook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help shorten cooking time.

lPreheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

lStart food on higher heat settings, then set surface burner control on low or off to finish cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when possible.

lUse the more efficient surface burners instead of the oven when possible.

The oven vent

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent located in lower part of backguard. The vent is needed for air circulation. Do not block the vent. Poor baking/roasting will result.

NOTE: Never store plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any of the surface burners.

Burn Hazard

When the oven is ON, pans and pan handles left near the oven vent can become hot enough to burn the user and to melt plastics. Use potholders to move pans.

Turn on the surface burner only after placing filled pan on the burner grate.

“Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking results. Rely on your timer to keep track of the cooking time.

Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is warm. Best time is after a meal has been cooked in it.

Preheat the oven no longer than necessary.

Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the range. When using the oven to cook one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in it also.

Do not preheat when broiling, roasting or cooking items such as casseroles.

The anti-tip bracket

The range will not tip during normal use. How- ever, tipping can occur if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket properly secured.

To verify the anti-tip bracket is engaged:

Look to see if the anti-tip bracket is attached with screws to the wall behind the backguard.

Make sure the cable tether on the back of the range is secured by the two hooks on the bracket.

See Installation Instructions for further details.
