THE OVEN CONTROLS

The oven is controlled by two knobs: the Oven Selector and the Oven Tempera- ture Control. Both must be on a setting for the oven to heof.

With the Oven Selector on

BROIL, only the top element heats. (Broiling, pg. 7 ).


BAKE, the bottom element does most of the work. The top element heats, but does not turn red. [Baking, pg. 6 1.


TIMED BAKE, the MEALTIMER’

Clock can be used to turn the oven on and off automatically. (MEALTIMER Clock, pg.

8 1.

Use the Oven Temperature

Control to set baking or roasting temperature when the

Oven Selector is on BAKE or

TIMED BAKE.

When both the Oven Selec- tor and Temperature Control are on BROIL, the broil element heats all the time. The

Oven Temperature Control can be set on a temperature for slower broiling (see Broil- ing, page 7 ).

5

Lilt rack at front and pull out.

Put the rack(s) where you want them before turning on the oven.

Rack(s) should be placed so food can be centered in the oven. Always leave at least 1’ 2 to 2 inches (4-5

Cm) between the sides of the pan and the oven walls and pans.

For more information, see the

“Cooking Guide.”

Set the Oven Selector on

BAKE.

Set the Oven Temperature

Control to the baking temperature you want.

6

During baking, the elements will turn on and off to help keep the oven temperature at the setting. The Signal Light will turn on and off with the elements.

The top element helps heat during baking, but does not turn red.

Let the oven preheat until the

Signal Light goes off

Put food in the oven. Oven rock walls ond door will be hot

When baking is done, turn both knobs to OFF.

ADJUSTING THE OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Does your new oven seem to be hotter or colder than your old oven at the same settings? The temperature setting in your old oven may have changed gradually over the years. The accurate setting of your new oven can seem differ- ent. If you think the oven temperature needs adjusting, follow these steps:

1.

Pull the Oven

Temperature

Control straight off

Locking Screw

2.

Loosen the locking screw;

NOTICE position of notches.

3. To lower the temperature, move black part of knob closer to LO.

Each notch equals about IO’F

(5°C).

Tlghten the locking screw. Replace the knob.

4. To raise the temperature, move black part of knob closer to HI.

Each notch equals about 10°F

(5°C).

BROILING

1.

Place the rack where you want it for broiling.

2. Put the broiler pan and food on the rack.

3.


BROIL.

4. Set the Oven Temperoture

Control on BROIL (or on a lower temperature for slower broiling).

5. During broiling, the oven door must be partly open. A built-in stop will hold it there.

6.

When broiling is done, turn both knobs to OFF.

For slower brolllng, set the Oven Temperature Control on a temperature instead of BROIL. The broil element will then turn on and off instead of staying on.

The lower the temperature setting, the slower the broiling.

The Oven Selector must be on BROIL and the door partly open for all brolllng temperatures.

NOTE:

Turkeys bigger than 8 to 10 pounds should not be put on the rotisserie. Roast them in the oven.

THE OPTIONAL SMOOTHTOP MODULE

Cooking on the optional black smoothtop is o/most the same as cooking on surface elements.

There are three differences you should know about:

1. The cookware you use.

2. What to expect.

3. The care and cleaning.

Cookware...

For best results, proper cookware must be used. l

Bottoms must be perfectly flat, with NO ridges, rims, patterns, dents, roughness or scratches.

-Pans with uneven bottoms cause poor cooking results and may damage the smoothtop.

-Nicks and scratches on a pan can damage the smoothtop.

16 l l

Bottoms must be clean. Heating a soiled pan can leave a stain on the smoothtop.

Sliding aluminum pans or foil, and copper pans, on the smoothtop can leave a mark. The marks made by aluminum can be removed If they are not heated. See page 22 for cleaning and care suggestions.

Cooklng...

The glass will take longer to heat up than a regular surface unit. It will also take longer to cool down. Turn off the unit a few minutes before you are finished cookrng.

The Care and Cleaning...

Always clean the smoothtop after cooking.

Use a special smoothtop cleaner/conditioner available from your appliance dealer, gro- cery, hardware or variety stores. l l l l l

Avoldlng stalns

Use a special smoothtop cleanericondi- tioner every time you use the Smoothtop

Module. Follow the package directions carefully.

Wipe the smoothtop with a clean, damp paper towel before you use the smoothtop. (Do not use a sponge or cloth. A little leftover soap or soil can stain the smoothtop when heated.)

Use only clean cookware.

Avoid spillovers. Use pans with tall sides.

Don’t let covers drip on the smoothtop. l l

Wipe up any spill when the unit is cool enough not to steam when a wet cloth touches it. The longer you cook wlth a splll- over on the unit, the harder It will be to remove that spill.

Clean off metal marks (from copper or aluminum) right away. If heated, they may never come off l

Avoiding Damage

Rough cookware, jewelry, salt, sand, knives, etc....can scratch the surface. Use only smooth cookware; wipe the surface before using. DO NOT use the smoothtop as l l l l a cutting board.

Sugary spills can cause pitting on the surface. Wipe a spill when the surface is cool.

Pans that aren’t flat can cause hot spots that can crack the surface.

Spilling ice-cold water on a hot surface may crack it.

Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop can crack it. Be careful with heavy skillets. Don’t store jars or cans above the smoothtop.

See the special “Smoothtop Cleanlng Chart” on page 22.

OPTIONAL CUTTING BOARD

Before using the Cutting Board...

1.

Wipe with damp sudsy cloth to remove dust.

2. Rinse and wipe dry.

3. Season it by coating with colorless minera oil.

4. Let oil stand a few hours; wipe off excess.

To keep the Cutting Board looking new, sand the surface with fine sandpaper to remove cutting marks and stains. Clean and re-season.

To sterilize the board, use a mixture of one teaspoon chlorine bleach to one quart water.

Wipe cutting board. Clean and re-season. t7

5. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, the surface unit will fit into the reflector bowl.

3. Hold the surface unit as level as possible with the terminal just started into the receptacle.

Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the utensils on the surface units. They also help catch spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer

If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some of the utensils used may not be flat enough.

Or some may be too large for the surface unit. In either case, some of the heat that is meant to go into or around a utensil goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This ex- tra heat can discolor it.

4. While pushing the surface unit terminal into the receptacle, lift a little on the edge of the unit nearest the receptacle.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

The self-cleaning cycle uses very hlgh heat to burn awcy soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle safely.

BEFORE YOU START

1.

Clean areas that may not be cleaned l l during the cycle. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad on... the frame around the oven the inside of the door, especially the part outside the oven seal.

DO NOT try to clean the flberglass seal. DO

NOT move It or bend It.

2. Remove any pots or pans you may have stored in the oven. They can’t stand the ny loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the cleaning

SPECIAL TIPS

1.

Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the cleaning cycle to help get rid of normal heat odors and smoke.

4. Oven racks lose their shine, discolor and become harder to slide on their guides when they are left in the oven during the cleaning cycle. To make them slide easier, polish the edges of the racks and rack guides with a soapy steel-wool pad, rinse well, and wipe on a thin coat of salad oil.

2. Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.

Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

5.

3. If the cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as you expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough. Set the cleaning time longer for heavier soil. l l l

To stop the cleaning cycle after it has started:

Turn the Stop Trme Knob clockwise until the hand points to the right time of day.

Turn the Oven Selector and Oven

Temperature Control to OFF.

When the oven cools, you can open the door. Wait until the oven is cool.

DO NOT touch the range during the cleaning cycle

. ..it can burn you.

SPECIAL CAlllIONS

DO NOT use foil or other liners in the oven. During the cleaning cycle, they can burn or melt.

DO NOT block the vent during the cleaning cycle.

Air must move freely for best results.

DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.

Damage to the porcelain finish may occur.

SETTING THE CONTROLS

1.

Make sure the clock and start and stop time dials all have the right time of day.

20

2. Push in the Stop Time

Knob and turn the hand clockwise about two or three hours. (Two hours for light soil; three or more for heavier soil.]

3. Set the Oven Selector to CLEAN. The Clean

Light will come on and the door will lock automatically.

4. Set the Oven Temper- ature Control to

CLEAN.

5. The Lock Light comes on when the oven gets above normal baking temperatures.

The door can’t be unlocked when the

Lock Light is on.

6.

When the Lock Light goes off, turn the Oven

Selector to OFF. This unlocks the door.

7. Turn the Oven Temper- ature Control to OFF.

8. Affer the oven Is cool, wipe off any residue or ash with a damp cloth.Ifneeded, touch up spots with cleanser or soapy steel-wool pad.

DO NOT TOUCH THE RANGE DURING THE CLEANING CYCLE. IT CAN BURN YOU.

HOW IT WORKS

During the self-cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking or broiling...approximately up grease and soil, and burns it off.

Avoid Staining l

See page 17.

Use cleaner/conditioner often l

Follow package directions carefully.

If you do get a stain:

1. A mildly abrasive cleanser like Bar Keep- ers Friend ’ with a plastic scouring pad will help remove stains that aren’t burned on. Use cleaner/conditioner afterwards.

2. A soapy steel wool pad will help with stubborn spots. Make sure the pad is very soapy. Use cleaner/conditioner afterwards.

3. A moist sponge and automatic dishwasher detergent can help. (Wear rubber gloves.)

Rinse and dry carefully. Use cleaner/conditioner afterwards.

4. Spread a paste of powdered cleanser and water over the stain. Keep the paste damp with a damp paper towel for 30 to 45 minutes. This can soften the soil so a cleanser or steel wool pad can remove it.

Use the cleaner/ conditioner afterwards,

Soak stain with a mixture of household ammonia and water (1 part ammonia to 4 parts water) for 30 to 60 minutes. Use a damp paper towel to cover Use cleanser and plastic, nylon or soapy steel wool pad. Use the cleanser/conditioner afterwards.

For thick soil buildups, a single-edge razor blade in a holder can be used. Carefully scrape off most of the soil as you would scrape paint off a window. Then use one of the cleaning methods mentioned above.
