THE OVEN CONTROLS

The right oven is controlled by two knobs: a Selector and a Temperature Con- trol. Both must be on o setting for the oven to heof. The left oven is controlled by one knob.

THE RIGHT OVEN SELECTOR

With the Right Oven Selector on BROIL, only the top ele- ment heats. (Broiling, pg.8).

With the Right Oven Selector on BAKE, the bottom element does most of the work. The top element heats, but does not turn red. [Baking, pg. 7).

THE RIGHT OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Use the Right Oven Temper- ature Control to set baking or roasting temperature when the Oven Selector is on BAKE or TIMED BAKE.

THE OVEN VENTS

Hot air and moisture escape from the ovens through vents under the rear surface units. You can cock on the units, or keep food warm on them while the ovens are on. Plastic utensils left over the vents can melt.

Do not block the vents. Poor baking can - result.

Cleaning and caring for your range

CONTROL PANEL AND KNOBS SURFACE UNITS AND

REFLECTOR BOWLS

REMOVING

1.

First make sure oven and surface unit control knobs are set on OFF. All knobs pull straight off. Surface unit knobs have a collar and spring.

I.

Be sure surface units are OFF and COOL.

2. Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to wipe the panel. Rinse and wipe dry.

2. Lift the edge of the unit opposite the recep- tacle just enough to clearthe reflector bowl.

3. Wash knobs and surface unit collars in warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry.

3. Pull the surface unit straight away from the receptacle.

4. Push knobs straight back on. Make sure they point to OFF. Make sure the collar and spring on surface unit knobs are put to- gether as shown.

4. Lift out the reflector bowl and trim ring.

13

1.

Be sure surface unit controls are OFF.

\ Opening

Receptacle

I

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

5. When the terminal is pushed into the re- ceptacle as far as it will go, the surface unit will fit into the trim ring.

2. Line up opening in the reflector bowl and notch in trim ring with the surface unit 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 trim ring 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 trim ring. This extra heat can discolor it.

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

THE GRIDDLE

1. To remove, lift and remove griddle cover.

14

2. Lift front slightly by the handle.

3. With both hands, pull griddle toward you to unplug it.

Terminal

1. To replace, use both hands to line up the terminal with the receptacle.

2. Slide so tabs on the griddle fit into the notches on each side.

3. Replace cover only over clean, cool griddle.

STORAGE DRAWER

The storage drawer is for storing pots and pans. Never store anything in there that can burn or melt In the drawer. Use care when handling the drawer.

REMOVING THE STORAGE DRAWER

1.

Pull drawer straight out to 2. Lift front and pull out to the first stop. the second stop.

REPLACING THE STORAGE DRAWER

3. Lift back slightly and slide drawer all the way out.

A fat spatter beads up on the smooth surface, but spreads out on the rougher surface. The bead of fat chars and turns black. The spread-out fat gradually burns away at medium to high baking temperatures (350 -475 ‘F, 176’-231’C) so the oven can return to a presentably clean condition.

CLEANING PRODUCTS.

Some can be trapped in the porcelain-enamel surface and give off harmful fumes.

WINDOW-Keep clean with hot sudsy water.

Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleansers. Use a plastic scouring pad for stubborn spots. Rinse well.

RACKS - Use a soapy steel-wool pad for best results. Rinse well.

WALLS AND DOOR-Wash with hot soapy water. Use a soapy steel-wool pad or plastic scouring pad for stubborn spots.

Rinse well

TIPS

1.

The oven rack does not have the continuous-cleaning surface. Clean it by hand.

2.

The oven door does not get as hot as the walls. Some hand cleaning may be needed.

3. If you do more broiling than baking, hand cleaning may be needed.

THE RIGHT OVEN SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

The self-cleaning cycle uses

very high heat to

burn away 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 during the cycle. Use hot water and deter- l gent 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

3. high heat.

Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the cleaning

4. %%en racks on the top two guides. Put two reflector bowls upslde down on each. They should not touch each other or the oven walls.

Clean Frame

Clean Door

17

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.

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.

5. l

To stop the cleaning cycle after it has started: l

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

Turn the Right Oven Selector and Right

Oven Temperature Control to OFF.

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

DO NOT block the vent during the cleaning cycle.

Air must move freely for best results.

SPECIAL CAUTIONS

DO NOT touch the range during the cleaning cycle

. ..it can burn you.

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

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.

18

2. Push in the Stop Trme

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 Right Oven

Selector to CLEAN. The

Clean Light will come on and the door will lock automatically.

4. Set the Right Oven

Temperature 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 Righl

Oven Selector to OFF.

This unlocks the door.

7. Turn the Right Oven

Temperature Control to OFF.

8. After the oven is cool, wipe off any residue or ash with a damp cloth. If needed, touch up spots with cleanser or soapy steel-wool pod.

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

875” F (468” C). This heat breaks up grease

and soil, and burns it off.
