Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heals quickly and evenly. IMost foods brown evenly in tin aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookworc may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware- those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. [t conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heut distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

USING YOUR OVEN

Electric Ignition

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by electric ignition.

To light either burner, touch the pad tor the desired function and press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed. The burner should ignite within 30-90 seconds.

After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the burner cycles—off completely, then on with a full flame—to keep the oven temperature controlled.

Power Outage

CAUTION: DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT

TO OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN E1..ECTR1CAL POWER OUTAGE. Neither the oven nor the broiler can be lit during an electrical power outage. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.

Adjusting the Oven Thermostat

When cot~king food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting, und differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to I O minutes are not unusual. Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven it replaced. We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers can vary by 2040 degrees.

If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to chtinge the thermostat, set the oven temper~ture 25° F. higher or lower than the temperature in your recipe. then bake. The results of this “test” should give you an idea of how much the thermostat should be changed.

TO ADJUST THERMOSTAT:

1.Press the BAKE pad.

2.Setect an oven temperature between 500°F. and 550°F.

3.Immediately, before BAKE indicator stops flashing, press and hold the BAKE pad for about

4 seconds. The red display will change to the oven adjustment display.

4.The oven thermostat can be adjusted up to (+) 35°F. hotter or (–) 35°F. cooler. Use the INCREASE or DECREASE pads to select the desired change in the red display.

5.When you have made the adjustment, press the CLEAWOFF pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect Broil or Clean temperatures. It will be remembered when power is removed.
