IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

•Do not touch the surface units, the heating

elements or the interior surface of the oven.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even

though they are dark in color. During and after use,

do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable

materials contact the surface units, the areas

nearby the surface units or any interior area of the"

oven; allow suNcient time for cooling, first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas

facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surthces

near the opening, crevices around the oven door

and metal trim parts above the door.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven may

be hot when the door is opened.

•When cooking pork, tbllow the directions

exactly and always cook the meat to an internal

temperature of at least 170°K This assures that, in

the remote possibility that trichina may be present

in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be

safe to eat,

Self-Cleaning Oven (lower)

.Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket

is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken

not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

.Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any part of the oven.

Residue fiom oven cleaners will damage the inside

of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

•Clean only parts listed in this Use and

Care Guide.

•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the

broiler pan, rack and other cookware.

.Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the self-cleaning operation.

.If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn

the oven off and disconnect the power supply.

Have it serviced by a qualified technician

Ovens

•Standaway from the cooking center when

opening an oven door. Hot air or steam which

escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

•Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container could

burst, causing an injury.

•Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.

•Keep the oven free from grease

buildup.

_lace the oven shelves in the desired

position while the oven is cool. If the shelves

must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder

contact the heating elements in the oven.

.Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also

a precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls.

•When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.

•After broiling, always take the broiler pan

out of the range and clean it. Leftover grease

in the broiler pan can catch fire the next time you

use the pan.

• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch fire.

Surface Cooking Units

•Use proper pan size--Select

cookware having flat bottoms large

enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized

cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to

direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will

also improve efficiency,

•Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

•Be sure the drip pans and vent are not covered

and are in place. Their absence during cooking

could damage cooking center parts and wiring.

•Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans

or anywhere in the oven except as described in

this guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire

hazard or damage to the cooking center,

•Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cooktop service; others may break

because of the sudden change in temperature.

•To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of

a container should be turned toward the center of--

the range without extending over nearby surface

units.

Always turn the surface units to off before

removing cookware.

.Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium high heat settings.

.To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric

shock, always be certain that the controls for

all surface units are at the off position and all

coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove

a surface unit.

• Donot immerse or soak removable surface

units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do

not self-clean the surface units in the oven.

• Never clean the cooktop surface when it is hot.

Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet

cloths could cause steam burns if used on a hot

surface.

.When flaming foods are under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread

the flame.

.Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a

deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.

• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on flesh foods

can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides

of the pan.

.Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat

frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause

spillovers when food is added.

.If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats

melt slowly.

.Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

.Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

Exhaust System

.Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter.

Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based

oven cleaners, may damage filter.

.Clean vent hood often. Do not allow grease

to build up on the hood or the filter.

FLOORING UNDER THE COOKING CENTER

Your cooking cemer, like so malay other household

items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings

such as cushioned viny 1. When moving the cooking

center on this type of flooring, use care.

Do not install the cooking center over kitchen

carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet

of 1/4 inch thick plywood between the cooking cenlcr

and carpeting.

When the floor covering ends at the front of the

cooking center, [he area that the cooking center will

rest on should be built up with plywood or similar

nmterial to the same level or higher than the floor

covering. This will allow the cooking center to be

moved for cleaning or servicing.

HOW DOES THIS

TO YOUR

Your new cooktop has electric coil surihce units.

If you are used to cooking with gas burners or other

types of electric cooktops, you will notice some

differences when you use electric coils.

COOKTOP COMPARE

OLD ONE?

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up al_d

cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or

surface unit you have.

The following chart will help you to understand the

differences between electric coil surface units and ally

other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

Type of Cooktop How it Works

Electric Coil

Radiant

(Glass Ceramic)

Cooktop

Induction

Solid Disk

Gas Bnrners

Description

Flattened metal

tubing containing

electric resistance

wire suspended

over a drip pan.

Electric coils

under a glm,s-

ceramic cooktop.

High frequency

induction coils

under a glass

surface.

Solid cast iron

disk sealed to the

cooktop surface.

R<mflar or sealed

gas burners use

either LP gas

or natural gas.

Heats by direct contact whh the pan and by hcatit_g the air under the pan. For best

cooking results, rise good quality palls. Electric coils arc more forgiving of

warpcd pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change

heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to

continue cooking for a short time after they are turned olT.

Heat travels |o the glass surface and d_cnIo Ihe cookware, so pans must be fiat on

the bottom f,r good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot cnough to

continue cooking after it is turned orL Remove the pan from the surt:ace unit il

you want cooking to stop.

Pansmustbe madeof ferrousmetals(metalthat attractsa magnet),Heatis

produced by-a magnetic circuit between lhe coil and dm pm. Heats up right away

and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control

off the glass cooktop is hot t%m the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.

Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must beflat on the bottom for good

cooking results. Heats up and COOLSdown more slowly than electric coils. The

disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Rcmove the pan

from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but

pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change

heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.

SURFACE CONTROLS

At both the OFF and tile HI positions, there is a slight

niche so the control "clicks" at those positions; HI

marks the highest setting; the lowest setting is the

word WM. In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight

"clicking" sounds during cooking, indicating the heat

settings selected are being maintained.

Switching heats to higher settings always shows a

quicker change than switching to lower settings.

How to Set the Controls

1. Grasp tile control knob

and push in.

2. Turn the knob either

clockwise or

counterclockwise to the

desired heat setting.

The control knob must be pushed into set only

from the OFF position. When the control is in any

position other than OFF, it may be turned without

pushing it in.

Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you

finish cooking.

The surface unit "on" indicator light will glow when

ANY surface unit is on.

_'ooking Guide for Using the Heat Settings

HI Quick start for cooking; bring water to boil.

MED HI Fast fry, pan broil; maintain fast boil on

large amount of food.

MED--Sautd and brown; maintain slow boil on large

amount of food.

LO Cook after starting at HI; cook with little water

in covered pan.

WM Steam rice, cereal; maintain serving

temperature of most foods.

NOTE:

• At HI, MED HI, never leave food unattended•

Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may

catch fire.

• At WM, LO, melt chocolate, butter on a small unit.

Light over the Surface Units

Push the surface light switch button located under the control panel and the

light comes on. Push again and the light goes off.

SURFACE C00KWARE TIPS

Cookware

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum

cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.

Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow

to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to

medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly

if not combined with other metals.

For best cooking results pans should be fiat on the

bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of

the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the

edge of the surface unit more than 1inch.

Right

Not over 1 inch

Wrong

Over 1 inch

Deep Fat Frying

Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food.

Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures.

Keep range and hood clean from grease.

(_'(mlimted ne,_tpage)

Wok Cooking

We recommend that

you use only a flat-

bottomed wok. They are

available at your local

retail stole.

SURFACE COOKNARE TIPS

(continued)

Do not use woks that have .......

support rings. Use of these

types t_t'px_M, _6tt_,owittit!_t_t

the rio._zJa, vs_ace,can be

dangerous. Placing the ring

over the surt:ace unit will

cause a build-up of heat that will danmge the

porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks

without the ring. You could be seriously burned

if the wok tipped over.

HOME CANNING TIPS

Calming should be done on the surface units only.

Pots that extend beyond one inch of the surface unit

are not recommended for most surface cooking.

However, when calming with a water-bath or pressure

calmer, large-diameter pots nmy be used. This is

because boiling water temperatures (even under

pressure) are not harmflfl to the cooktop surfaces

surrounding the surface units.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-DIAMETER

CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE-DIAMETER

POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS

OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce

mixtures and all types of frying cook at

temperatures nmch higher than boiling water.

Such temperatures could eventually harm the

cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

Observe the Following Points in Canning

1. Be sure the calmer fits over the center of the

surface unit. If your cooking center or its location

does not allow the calmer to be centered on the

surface unit, use snmller-diameter pots for good

calming results.

2. Flat-bottomed calmers nmst be used. Do not use

calmers with flanged or rippled bottoms (often

found in enamelware) because they don't nmke

enough contact with the surface unit and take too

long to boil water.

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.

3. When calming, use recipes and procedures from

reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures

are available from the nmlmfacturer of your calmer;

nmlmfacmrers of glass jars for calming, such as

Ball aim Kerr; aim the United States Department

of Agriculture Extension Service.

4. Remember that calming is a process that generates

large amounts of steam. To avoid burns fiom steam

or heat, be careflfl when calming.

NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning nmy

take longer than expected even though directions have

been careflflly followed.

The process time will be shortened by:

(1) using a pressure calmer, and

(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest

heating of large quantities of water.

AUTOMATIC TIMERS AND CLOCK

• he amomatic timers and clock on your cooking center are helpful devices

that serve several puq0oses.

To Set the Clock

Push the center knob in and turn the clock hands to the correct time. (If the

automatic timer pointer should move also, let the knob out and turn the

timer pointer to OFF. )

To Set the Minute Timer

The nmmte timer has been combined with the clock•

Use it to time all your precise cooking operations•

YoLI'I 1 recognize the minute timer as the pointer which

isdifferent in color and shape than the clock hands.

To set the minute timer, turn the center knob,

without pushing in, until the pointer reaches the

mm_ber of nmmtes you wish to time. (Milmtes are

marked, up to 60, in the center ring on the clock• )

At the end of the set time, a buzzer sounds to tell you

time is up. Turn the knob, without pushing in, until

the pointer reaches OFF and the buzzer stops•

,, ':_ ' start

.__ 12

% (3 _," stop

Timed Baking Using the Automatic Timers

Using the automatic timer, you can Time Bake with

the oven starting immediately and turning off at the

Stop Time set, or set both Start aim Stop dials to

automatically start and stop oven at a later time of

day. It takes the won T out of not being home to start

or stop the oven.

See the Timed Baking section•

Self-Cleaning Using the Automatic Timers

The self-cleaning function of the lower oven uses the

automatic timers to set the length of time needed to

clean, whether you wish to clean immediately or

delay the cleaning until low energy times, such as

during the night•

See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section•

Questions and Answers

Q. How can Iuse the minute timer to make surface

cooking easier?

A. The mimlte timer will help you time the total

cooking period, which includes time to boil food

and change temperatures. Do not judge cooking

time by visible steam only. Food will cook in

covered containers even though you cannot see

any steam.

Q. Must the clock be set on correct time of

day when I wish to use the automatic

timers for baking?

A. Yes, if you wish to set the Start or Stop dials to

turn on and of!' at set times during timed functions.

Q. Can I use the minute timer during

oven cooking?

A. The milmte timer can be used during any

cooking flmction. The automatic timers (Start

and Stop dials) are used with the Timed Baking

aim Self-Cleaning functions.

Q. Can Ichange the time of day on the clock while

I'm Timed Baking in the oven?

A. The time of day on the clock should not be

changed during any program that uses the oven

timer. You nmst either stop those programs or wait

until they are finished before changing the time.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using the Upper or Lower Oven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understaud how

to set them properly. Read over the directions for

the automatic oven timer so you understalM its use

with the controls.

2. Check the oven interiors. Look at the shelves.

Take a practice run at removing and replacing

them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

3. Read over the information and tips that follow.

4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,

especially during the first weeks of using your new

cooking center.

NOTE: You may notice a "burning" or "oily" smell

the first few times you turn the oven on. This is

nornml in a new oven and will disappear in a short

time. To speed the process in the lower oven, set a

self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the

Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.

Oven Controls

The controls for the ovens are marked OVEN SET

aud OVEN TEMP. OVEN SET has settings for

BAKE, TIME BAKE, BROIL, CLEAN (lower oven

only) aim OFF. When you turn the knob to the desired

setting, the proper heating elements are then activated

for that operation.

OVEN TEMP maintains the temperature you set,

from WM (150°F.) to BROIL (550°F.), and also at

CLEAN (800°E).

An Oven Cycling Light glows until the oven reaches

your selected temperature, then goes off and on with

the oven element(s) during cooking.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that

when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they

will stop before coming out completely from the

oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or

placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out

to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware

on the shell then slide the shelf back into the oven.

This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf from either oven, pull the shelf

toward you, tilt the front end upward aud pull it out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with

the stop-locks (curved extension under shelf) facing

up toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and

push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it

goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower

the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

aelf Positions

Both ovens have four shelf supports identified in this

illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).

Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the

Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Oven Lights

The upper oven light is controlled by a switch at the

bottom of the control panel.

The lower oven light comes on automatically when

the door is opened. Use the switch to turn the light on

and off when the door is closed. The switch is located

above the door of the lower oven.

BAKING

Do not lock the lower oven door with the

latch during baking. The latch is used for

self-cleaning only.

Your oven temperature is controlled velT accurately

using an oven control system. It is recommended

that you operate the oven for a mm_ber of weeks to

become familiar with your new oven's perfornmnce.

If you think an adjustment is necessal% see the

Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy

Do ItYourse]f instructions on how to adjust the

thermostat.

NOTE: When the oven is hot, the top and outside

surfaces of the cooking center get hot too.

How to Set an Oven for Baking

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the

correct position before you turn the oven on.

1. Turn the OVEN SET knob to BAKE and the

OVEN TEMP knob to the temperature you desire.

2. Turn the OVEN SET knob to OFF when finished.

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven shelf

or shelves in the

desired locations while

the oven is cool. The

correct shelf position

depends on the kind of

food and the browning

desired. As a general

rule, Nace most foods

in lhe middle of the oven, on either shelf positions

B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

Preheating

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.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature--

selecting a higher temperature does not shorten the

preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking

cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles

and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens

without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat

I0 milmtes. After the oven is preheated place the

food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat

from escaping.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the

pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

•Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and

cookies require this type of pan.

•Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking

in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to

be reduced by 25°F.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there nmst be

enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking

results will be better if baking pans are centered as

nmch as possible rather than being placed to the front

or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the

oven. Allow I to 1½-inch space between pans as well

as flom the back of the oven, the door and the sides.

If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so

one is not directly above the other.

Aaking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow the package recipe

or instructions for the best baking results.

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (withom

sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked

in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have

darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the

walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a

shelf with a large cookie sheet.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven

at a time.

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans

to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil

pans should be placed on an alunfilmm cookie sheet

eor baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away

rom the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause

uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.

A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe

recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and

&ier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than

recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may

overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size

used is the one recommended.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with alunmmm foil.

This will distaub the heat circulation and result in

poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used

to catch a spi!lover by placing it on a lower shelf'

several inches below the food.

Don't Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do

not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes

provide nfininmm and nmxinmm baking times such

as "bake 30-40 mimltes."

DO NOT open the door to check until the nfininmm

time. Opening the oven door frequently during

cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking

times longer. Your baking may also be affected.

TIMED BAKING

How to Time Bake

Do not lock the lower oven door with the

latch during baking. The latch is used for

self-cleaning only.

The autonmtic oven timer controls are designed

to turn either oven on or off autonmtically at

specific times that you set. Examples of Immediate

Start aim Autonmtic Stop (oven turns on now and

you set it to turn off autonmtically) or Delay Start

aim Autonmtic Stop (setting the oven to turn on

autonmtically at a later time aim turn off at a preset

stop time) will be described.

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT-DO IT YOURSELF?

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently

than the one it replaced. We 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.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,

you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think

it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If

you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make

it hotter.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive

thermometers, such as those found in groceu stores,

to check the tenaperature setting of your new oven.

These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

Pull the knob off of the shaft, look at the back of

the knob aud note the current setting before making

any adjustment.

To increase the temperature, turn toward HI or

RAISE: to decrease, turn toward LO or LOWER.

Each notch changes temperature 10 degrees.

To adjust oven thermostat for either oven:

1. Pull off the OVEN

TEMP knob of the oven

needing adjustment.

Loosen both screws on

the back of the knob.

2. Move the pointer one

notch in the desired

direction. Tighten the

screws.

3. Return the kuob to the

rauge, matching the flat

area of the knob to the shaft.

Re-check oven performance before making an

additional adjustment.

ROASTING

Do not lock the lower oven door with the

latch during roasting. The latch is used for

self-cleaning only.

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or

poultry call be roasted uncovered in your oven.

Roasting temperatures, which should be low and

steady, keep spattering to a nLininmm.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.

Therefore, the oven controls are set to Baking or

Timed Baking. (You nmy hear a slight clicking sound,

indicating the oven is working properly. ) Timed

Baking will turn the oven on and off autonmtically.

Most meats comilme to cook slightly while standing,

after being removed from the oven. The standing time

recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This

allows roasts to firm up and nmkes them easier to

calve. "FEe internal temperature will rise about 5 ° to

10°F.; to compensate for the temperature rise, if

desired, remove the roast from the oven when its

internal temperature is 5 ° to i 0"F. less thalL tile

temperature shown in the Roasting Guide.

Remember that food will COlLtilmeto cook in the hot

oven aiM, therefore, should be removed when the

desired internal temperature has been reached.

1. Place in the oven on shelf in A or B position.

No preheating is necessm T.

2. Check the weight

of the meat. Place

the meat tilt-side-up,

or poultry breast-

side-up, on a roasting

rack or shallow pan.

The melting tht will

baste the meat. Select

a pan as close to the

size of the meat as

possible. (The broiler

pan with rack is a good pan for this.)

OVEN SET OVEN TEMP

! I

3. Turn the OVEN SET knob to BAKE and the

OVEN TEMP knob to 325°F. Small poulh T may

be cooked at 350°F. for best browning.

4. When roasting is finished, turn the OVEN SET

knob to off and then remove the food from the oven.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You call use alunmmm foil to line the broiler pan.

This nmkes cleau-up easier when using the pall for

nmrinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily

cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press

the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

_uestions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a

meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished imernal temperature at

the completion of cooking time is recommended.

Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide.

For roasts over 8 Ibs., check with thernmmeter

at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time

has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

A. Roasts are easier _o slice if allowed to cool lO to

20 minutes after removing them from the oven.

Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a

roast or poultry?

A. It is not necessal T to preheat your oven.

Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips

that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,

or buy rolled roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil "tent" when

roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it

unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown

the meat.

ROASTING

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beet, pork, lamb, etc., cau be started

without thawing, but allow lO to 25 minutes per

pound additional time ( 10 minutes per pound for

•oasls under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

GUIDE

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting.

Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly.

Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked

successfully without thawing. Follow the directions

given on the package label.

BROILING

Do not lock the lower oven door with the

latch during broiling. The latch is used for

self-cleaning only.

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat fi_om

tile upper element in tile oven. Most fish and tender

cuts of meat can be broiled. Broiling is tile same in

both upper and lower ovens.

When broiling, leave tile door open to broil stop

position and use tile Broiling Guide in this section.

Follow tile directions below to keep spattering and

smoking to a minimum.

Turn tile food only once during broiling. Time foods

for tile first side according to tile Broiling Guide. Turn

tile food, then use tile times given for tile second side

as a guide to tile preferred doneness.

1. If tile meat has fat or gristle around tile edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.

If desired, tile fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer

about 1/8 inch thick.

2. Place the meat on tile broiler rack in the broiler pan.

Always use tile rack so fat &ips into tile broiler

pan; othel_,ise the juices may become hot enough

to catch fire.

3. Position the shelf on tile recommended shelf

position as suggested in tile Broiling Guide. Most

broiling is done on shelf position C, but if your

cooking center is connected to 208 volts, you

may wish to use a higher position.

.Leave the door open

to broil stop position. _ ---J J

The lower oven door '_"_

stays open by itself, yet

the proper temperature is

maintained in the oven.

5. Turn both the OVEN SET

and tile OVEN TEMP knobs to BROIL.

Preheating tile elements is not necessm T.

(See tile notes in the Broiling Guide.)

Turn tile OVEN SET knob to OFF. Serve the food

immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven to

cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You call use ahmlimml foil to line your broiler pan

and broiler rack. However, you must mold tile foil

tightly to tile rack and cut slits in it just like tile rack.

Without tile slits, tile foil will prevent fat and meat

juices from &aining to tile broiler pall. The juices

could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do

not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

< Wf

Questions &Answers

Q. Do Ineed to grease my broiler rack to prevent

meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler

heat, thus keeping the surlhce cool enough to prevent

meat from sticking to the surlhce. However, spraying

the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking

spray bet_re cooking will make clean-up easier.

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

rack in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the rack suspends tile meat over tile

pall. As tile meat cooks, tile juices fall into the pan,

thus keeping tile meat drier. Juices are protected by

tile rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive

spatter and smoking.

Should I salt the meat before broiling?

No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn tile meat

with tongs; piercing tile meat with a fork allows the

juices to escape. When broiling poultry, or fish,

brush each side often with butter.

Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

In some areas, the power (voltage) to tile range may

be low. In these cases, preheat tile broil element for

10 minutes before placing the broiler pan with food

in the oven. Check to see if you are using the

recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest

period of time indicated in tile Broiling Guide. Turn

the food only once during broiling. You may need to

move the food to a higher shelf position.

BROILING GUIDE

Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes with

your oven,. It is designed to minimize smokil_o _,_d

sDttering brtrapping juices in the shielded lower

part of the pan.

•The oven door should be open to the broil stop

position.

•For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the

outsideedges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise

through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the

meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent

piercing the meat and losing juices.

•If desired, marinate meats or chicken before

broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to

10 minutes only.

•When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty

edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could

soil the oven.

•The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,

for ve Uthin foods, or to increase browning, preheat

if desired.

•Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven

shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing

cooking time given in this guide 1½ times per side.

•If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare

steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler

and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

This cooking cemer has a built-in exhaust system

equipped with a damper, a two-speed exhaust blower

and removable filters. Exhaust openings are located

over the cooktop and in the hood over the oven.

The exhaust system functions only when the blower is

operating. The switch for the exhaust system is beneath

the control palM. For high speed, push switch once; for

low speed, push switch twice; and to stop blower, push

switch once in sequence.

When the blower is operating and the hood over the

upper oven is closed, it exhausts over the surt:ace units

only. When the blower operates with the hood in the

open position, it exhausts through openings over the

surface units and over tile oven at the same time.

THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SHOULD BE OPERATEL

WHENEVER ODORS, VAPORS OR SMOKE ARE

EXPECTED TO BE THE RESULT OF A COOKING

OPERATION. START FAN AT THE BEGINNING

OF COOKING.

To open the hood above the oven, lift up the handle on

the hood; to close, push down on the handle. Use the

hood in its fully extended position whenever vapor or

smoke results from cooking, such as when pall broiling

or flTing on the surface units. See infornmtion on the

use of surface units.

Filters

Two filters are located over the cooktop and one

behind the hood extension. The filters are removable

for cleaning.

Filters become soiled over a period of time. The

efficiency of your exhaust system depends on how

clean the filters are. Frequency of cleaning, or

replacing, depends on the type of cooking you do,

but filters should be cleaned AT LEAST ONCE A

MONTH. Clean the grease-laden surfaces adjacent

to the filters fl_equently.

To clean, agitate in a solution of hot water and

detergent. Light brushing nmy be used to help

remove embedded soil and dust With careful use

aim handling, the filters will last for years. However,

if replacement becomes necessaw, obtain a filter from

your dealer.

Remove and Replace Filters

1. Cooktop: Place finger in recess at the from edge

of the filter; push the filter to the rear until the front

edge clears the exhaust opening; lower the front

aim remove. When clean, replace. Place the edge

of the filter against the spring at rear of exhaust

opening. Push to rear, lift front edge, and let spring

push filter forward into place under the edge of the

exhaust opening.

2. Hood: Extend the hood as far as possible, or

remove the hood extension if desired; see

illustration. Place fingers on each side at the bottom

of the filter. Press the filter to the left until it clears

the holder on the right side, then remove. When

clean, replace. Push the filter against the clip at the

left and press left until the filter clears the holder at

the right side. Push the filter toward the opening

and release so it slips behind the holder.

Non-vented models also have a replaceable Charcoal

Filter located behind the Hood Filter. Replace as

needed with Part No. WB02X7692, available from

your GE supplier.

Motor

The blower motor is pernmnently lubricated; it does not need oiling.

7o Remove and Replace Hood Extension

1. To remove, extend the hood as thr as it will open.

Hook a finger behind flexible bar at each side of

hood extension and move toward center of hood to

move pins om of hobs. Hood extension can be

removed.

2. To clean, wash in a solmion of hot water and

detergent. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.

3. To replace, fit the bottom of the half-circle flanges

into the side of the hood. Secure one side at a time.

Align the pin with the holes in the bracket and hood

extension, then push the pin through the holes. This

secures the hood extension so it calmot be removed

by ntistake.

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING LOWER OVEN

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting with an open window

or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first

self-clean cycle.

Vhe range must be completely cool in order to set

.he self-clean cycle. You may have to allow the oven

to cool before you can slide the door latch.

1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware

and any alumilmm foil from the oven they calmot

withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the

self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose

their luster and become hard to slide.

2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you

use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning

to prevent staining.

3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven from flame and

the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened

cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door

outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-

clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot

water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well

with a vinegar and water solution. This will help

prevent a brown residue from forming when the

oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.

Do not clean the gasket.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean

the top, sides and outside flont of the oven door

with soap and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket--the

fiberglass nmterial of the gasket has an extremely

low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-

fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-

efficient oven operation and good baking results.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed

or danmged in any way or if it has become

displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

4. Close the oven door aim nmke sure the oven light

is off. If the oven light is not turned of L the life of

the bulb will be shortened or it nmy burn out

immediately.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven

protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

A combination of any of these products plus the

high clean cycle temperatures nmy danmge the

porcelain finish of the oven.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why won't my oven clean immediately even

though I set all the time and clean knobs

correctly?

A. Check to be sure the Start Dial is set to the same

time as the cooking center clock. Also check to be

sure latch handle is moved to the right.

_, Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part

of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any

part of this oven. If you do use them and do not

thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it

absolutely clean aftel_,ards, the residue can seal

the oven surface aim dainage metal parts the next

time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil, and you should

turn the oven off. Open windows to rid the room of

smoke. Allow the oven to cool for at least one hour

before opening the door. Wipe up the excess soil

aim reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the "crackling" and "popping" sound I hear

during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the metal heating and cooling during

both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

A. Yes, there will be aslight odor during the first few

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might

also cause an odor when cleaning.

surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning. They do not affect

how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after

cleaning?

A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit, which

is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge

or cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is

the matter?

A. After many cleanings, the oven shelves will lose

their luster and become hard to slide. To make the

shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports

with cooking oil.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-cleaning cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-cleaning cycle, the shelves will

lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray.

Q:Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven

is self-cleaning?

A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use

the cooktop just as you normally do.

Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of

day, can I still self-clean my oven'?

CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooking center will give you

efficient and satisfactol 7 service. Follow these directions careflflly in caring

for your cooking center to assure sate and proper maintenance.

Surface Units and Drip Pans

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the

highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn off

any soil.

CAUTION

• Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and

the surface units are cool before attempting to

remove them.

•Do not immerse the surface units in liquids

of any kind.

• Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.

• Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

• Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair

the plug-in receptacle.

To remove a surff_(e unit:

To remove the &ip pans for cleaning, the surface units

must be removed first.

Surface Unit

Receptacle

pPan

Lift the surface unit abom 1 inch above the drip pan

aim pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch.

If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when

you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more

than 1 inch above the drip pan can permanently

damage the receptacle.

To replace a surface unit:

•Replace the drip pan into the recess in the

cooktop. Make sure opening in the pan lines up

with the receptacle.

•Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the

opening in the &ip pan and into the receptacle.

•Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.

Drip Pans

Remove the surface units. Then lift om the drip pans.

For best results, clean the drip pans by hand.

Place them in a covered container (or a plastic bag)

with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub

with a soap filled scouring pad if necessa W. Rinse

with clean water aim polish with a clean soft cloth.

The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Black drip pans (on some models) nmy be cleaned in

a self-cleaning oven after they have been thoroughly

rinsed. However, self-cleaning them nmy cause them

to lose their original luster and shine.

Clean the area under the drip pans often.

Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.

Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil

so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or

danmge to the range.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but

breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant.

However, any acidic foods spilled (such as Ihfit

juices, tonmto or vinegar) should not be permitted to

renmin on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use

adry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away.

When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and

water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat smatterings, wash with

soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface

has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a @ cloth.

Broiler Pan and Rack Lower oven

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.

Remove the rack flom the pau. Carefully pour out

grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and

rinse the broiler pau aud rack in hot water with a

soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with

detergent while hot aud cover with wet paper towels

or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned

on foods.

The broiler pau nmy be cleaued with a commercial

oven cleauer. Do not use an oven cleauer on the rack.

Both the broiler pan and rack can also be cleaned in

the dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack anywhere

in the rauge.

Do not clean the broiler pan or rack in the

self-cleaning oven.

ift-Off Lower Oven DooI

fhe oven door is removable,

but it is heavy. You may need

help removing aud replacing the

door. Do not lift the door by the

handle. This can cause the glass

to break or can cause damage to

the door.

To remove the door, open it a

few inches to the special stop

position that will hold the door

open. Grasp firmly on each side

aud l i ft the door straighl up and

off the hinges.

NOTE:

• Be careful not Io place hands between the hinge

and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap

back and pinch fingers.

•While working in the oven area, cover the hinges

with towclsor empty paper towel rolls to prevent

pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel

on the flame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the

special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom

"the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the

_or slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same

time. If the hinges snap back against the oven flame,

pull them back out.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:

Inside of the door:

•Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during

the self cleau cycle, you do not need to cleau this

by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional

stains when the oven is heated.

•The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with

a scouring pad.

• Do not rub or clean the door gasket the

fiberglass material of the gasket has au extremely

low resistauce to abrasion. An intact and well-

fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-

efficient oven operation aud good baking results.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or

damaged in any way or if it has become displaced

on the door, you should have it replaced.

NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at

the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Outside of the door:

•Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,

sides and flont of the oven door. DO NOT let water

rtm down through openings in the top of the door.

Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to

cleau the glass on the outside of the door.

• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces

aud basting materials containing acids may cause

discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.

When the surface is cool, clean and rinse.

• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or

harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

CARE AND CLEANING

(contilmed)

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.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the

self-cleaning oven, however, they will darken, lose

their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf

supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to nmke

shelves slide more easily.

Upper Oven Porcelain Interior

With proper care, the

porcelain enamel finish

on the inside of the

oven top, bottom,

sides, back and inside

ofthe door will stay

new-looking for years.

Let range cool before

cleaning. We recommend

that you weal rubber

gloves when cleaning the range.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy

spattering or spil!overs nmy require cleaning with a

mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads nmy also

be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or

acid content (such as milk, tonmtoes, sauerkraut, fruit

juices or pie filling) to renmin on the surface. They

nmy cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning job

easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottm 7

container in a cold oven overnight. The anamonia

fumes will help loosen the. burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.

Follow package directions.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

•Do not spray on the electrical controls and switches

because it could cause a short circuit and result in

sparking or tire.

•Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on

the temperature sensor -it could cause the oven to

heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of

the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each

oven cleaning, being careflfl not to move the sensor

as a change in its position could affect how the oven

bakes.

•Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door.

handles or any exterior surface of the oven. cabinets

or painted surthces. The cleaner can danmge

these surfaces.

To Clean the Removable Upper Oven Panels

in the Lower Self-Cleaning Oven

•These parts can be cleaned in the self-cleaning

lower oven. Place the shelf from the upper oven

on either shelf of the self-cleaning oven. (The shelf

nmy have to be shifted slightly so the shelf stops do

not interfere with placement of palms. )

•S1 ide out the oven bottom; lifting the bake element

slightly nmkes this easier to do. Lift the back panel

and remove. Place the bottom and back panels back-

to-back so the soiled sides face outward. Place these

panels over the shelf on the STRAIGHT shelf', it is

important that the panels lay flat on lhe shelf'.

Lift the side panels up and out of the oven. Place

back-to-back on the renmining self-cleaning oven

shelf.

To Replace the Panels in the Upper Oven

• Replace the panels in any order desired. Be certain

the oven bottom is replaced so the notch is at the

right, and the "feet" on the bake element rest in

depressions in the panel. Replace the broiler

reflector so the "open side" is toward the bottom

of the oven.

,lemovable Storage Drawer

The storage &awer is a good place to store cookware

and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable

material in the drawer.

CAUTION: For your safety, plastics and

flammable material must not be kept in this

drawer.

Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer is

too heavy, it may slip off' the track when opened. To

open the &awer, grasp the center of the handle and

pull straight out.

The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning

under the rauge.

To remove:

oPul I the &awer straight out and ] ift over the

guide stops.

To replace:

• Lift over the guide stops and s] ide the drawer

into place.

To clean the inside:

•Wipe with soap and water. Rinse well.

Do not use cleaning powders or harsh abrasives which

may scratch the sur_hce.

To clean the outside:

• Wash with soap and water. Rinse well.

Do not use cleausing powders or harsh abrasives

which may scratch the surface.

j Guide Stop

Control Panel and Knobs

t's a good idea Io wipe the control panel after each

use of Ihe oven. Cleau with mild soap aud water or

vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish

dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid

cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers

on the control panel--they will damage the finish.

A50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water solution

works well.

The control knobs may be removed for easier

cleaning.

Before removing the kuobs for cleauing, please note

that the kuobs are in the proper OFF position. When

replacing the kuobs, check the OFF position to insure

proper placement.

The knob stem has a groove in each side. The groove

on one side has a spring clip. The other groove is

clear (see illustration). When removing the knob, it

may be helpflfl to slip a piece of string under and

around the kuob edge and pull up. Check the inside of

the knob and find the molded rib.

Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and

hot water solmion bm do not soak.

Replace the knob by fitting the molded rib inside the

knob into the clear groove on the stem.
