When the timer is counting down, use the + and – pad to change the remaining time, or press the TIMER ON/OFF pad to stop the timer . The timer cannot be cancelled unless you have fully completed “set timer” instructions above.
Befor e Using Y our Oven Be sure you understand how to set the controls properly . Practice removing and replacing the shelves while the oven is cool. Read the information and tips on the following pages. Keep this guide handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.
USING YOUR OVEN (continued) Oven Shelves The shelves are designed with stop- locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are r emoving food from them or placing food on them.
BAKING Y our oven temperature is controlled using the latest technology in oven control systems. It is recommended that you operate your new oven for a number of weeks to become familiar with its performance. If you think an adjustment is necessary , see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section.
14 BAKING (continued) Pr eheating Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven. T o preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature— selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.
Baking Pies Cakes For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner , crisper crust. Stagger the pies for most even browning. Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.
16 ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOST A T— DO IT YOURSELF! Y ou may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. W e recommend that you use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.
ROASTING Roasting is cooking by dry heat. T ender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady , keep spattering to a minimum. The oven has a special low shelf (R) position just above the oven bottom.
18 ROASTING (continued) Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer? A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended. T emperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs.
BROILING Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.
20 BROILING GUIDE The oven and broiler compartment doors must be closed during broiling. • Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.
CARE AND CLEANING Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance. BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE CLEANING ANY P AR T OF YOUR RANGE.
CARE AND CLEANING (continued) T urn all controls OFF before removing the burner parts and drip pans (if so equipped). The burner grates, caps, burner heads and drip pans (if so equipped) can be lifted off, making them easy to clean. For proper ignition, make sure the small hole in the section that fits over the electrode is kept open.
Car e and Cleaning Burner Grates Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers. W ash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water . After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes.

Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the range from the electrical outlet.
Car e and Cleaning Oven Shelves Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. Lift-Up Cooktop (on models with standard twin burners) Clean the area under the cooktop often.
