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 efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product:

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

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 to finish cooking.

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

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

“Ovenpeeking” 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 to bake is right after a meal has been cooked in the oven.

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 roasting or cooking items such as casseroles.

Using the electronic MEALTIMERm control

The electronic MEALTIMER control will turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around.

Delayed time baking/roasting is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven, such as meats and casseroles. Do not use delayed time cooking for cakes, cookies, etc. - undercooking will result.

Before using the electronic MEALTIMER control, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. (See “Settingthe clock” on page 14.)

To start baking/roasting now and stop automatically

1.Position the oven rack(s) properly and put food in the oven.
