‘Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking resutts. Rely on your timer.

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 ft also.

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

Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat reflection.

Using the electronic clock/oven control

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

Automatic baking/roasting is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven, such as meats and casseroles. Do not use the auto- matic cycle for cakes, cookies, etc. ...

undercooking will result.

To start baking/roasting now and stop automatically

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

2.Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. (See “Setting the clock” on page 11.)

3.Push the Cook Time button. OVEN, TIME and HR will come on. ON will not come on until the time of day that oven is to be turned on is reached. If you start baking/roasting immedi- ately, ON will come on.
