USING YOUR RANGE

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

•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.

•Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the range by cooking more than one food at a time, or baking while the oven is still hot after cooking a meal.

•Keep reflector pans clean for best heat reflection.

Using the electronic MEALTIMER™ 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. – they will not rise properly.

Before using the electronic MEALTIMER control, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. (See “Setting the clock” earlier in this section.)

wWARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in death, food poisoning, or sickness.
