SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY TIPS

Some "common sense" rules to remember:

·Always be certain that the oven parts are cool before touching them when hands are not protected by a potholder.

·Always use a dry potholder, never a moist one, nor a trailing cloth, to avoid possible burns from steam.

·Pulling out oven racks is a convenience when lifting heavy foods, but caution should be used against possible burns from touching hot surface.

·For your safety, never use the range as a space heater.

·Do not heat unopened containers such as jars, cans, etc., in the oven. The build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and can cause serious personal harm or damage the range.

·Do not use aluminum foil on the racks or oven bottom. This will hinder heat circulation.

·Do not use aluminum foil on the racks or oven bottom when cleaning. The self-cleaning feature makes this unnecessary.

·Do not attempt to clean the oven or broiler burner ignitor assembly. The ignitors are electrically oper- ated and the danger of electric shock is present.

·Do not place baking utensils directly on the oven bottom.

·Do not use disposable or substitute broiler pans. The broiler pan and grid provided with the range have been scientifically designed to keep drippings cool so they will not become hot enough to ignite.

·Always remove the broiler pan and grid from the oven when baking and roasting. A possible fire hazard could exist if a soiled pan and grid are left in the oven. Also, any drippings on the grid will become baked on and will be very difficult to remove.

·Never cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. It may trap grease and cause it to smoke. If desired, place a sheet of aluminum foil to line the broiler pan underneath the broiler grid to ease clean up. (A cup of water placed in the broiler pan will also minimize clean up.)

·Never use the range as storage space.

·Never store flammable items in the storage drawer.

BROILING

The Ultra-Ray® Broiler

all broiling is done with a fast, searing heat, no temperature selection is used except with certain recipes). The burner lights automatically in 50 - 60 seconds. During the broil cycle the burner will cycle on and off. For programming information on models with the Electronic Range Control, see Section III, Operation and Troubleshooting, ERC Control.

Things to Remember:

CLOSE THE DOOR COMPLETELY FOR ALL BROILING.

Ultra-Ray® consumes most smoke and spatter. Kitchen stays cleaner, cooler.

DO NOT PRE-HEAT THE BROILER BEFORE USING.

BAKING

For best results preheat the oven first. Turn the selector dial to "Manual" and the thermostat dial to the desired temperature. The oven will light automatically. Allow the oven to heat to temperature, approximately fifteen (15) minutes. For programming information on models with the Electronic Range Control, see Section III, Operation and Troubleshooting, ERC Control.

The range is equipped with tilt proof oven racks with automatic stops. The oven racks are removable and can be inserted at various levels. They can be pulled to the "STOP" position without danger of tipping. To remove the racks, pull to the stop position, raise the forward edge, and lift. Reverse the procedure to install racks. One or both oven racks can be used during baking.

Always keep in mind that heated air in the oven must be allowed to circulate freely. Leave at least 1 1/2" between utensils and between utensils and the oven walls. For example, never place one cake layer directly over another - stagger them within the oven.

To use the Ultra-Ray® broiler, set the selector dial to
