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:

•Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides, and tight-fitting lids.

•Match the pan to the surface unit size.

•Cook with a minimum of liquid or grease to help shorten cooking time.

•Preheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

•Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface unit control on low or off to finish cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when possible.

•Use the more efficient surface units instead of the oven when possible.

•Turn on the surface unit only after placing filled pan on the unit.

•“Oven peeking” 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 broiling, roasting, or cooking items such as casseroles.

Using the electronic MEALTIMERTM control

The electronic MEALTIMER control is designed to 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” on page 13.)

Food Poisoning Hazard

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

Failure to follow the above can result in death, food poisoning, or sickness.

To start baking/roasting now and stop automatically:

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