Turn the Selector knob (if equipped) to BAKE. Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking. Preheating is not necessary when roasting, cooking casseroles or broiling most foods. When cooking is finished, turn the Temperature Control knob to OFF. To Broil 1. , Temperature Control Knob , , , , Selector Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. For rare meats, position the broiler pan closer to the element (upper position). For well-cone foods such as chicken, lobster tails or thick cuts of meat, position the pan further from the element (lower position). Turn the Temperature Control knob counter-clockwise to Broil and the Selector Control knob to any position between HI Broil and LO Broil. Most foods can be broiled at the HI Broil Setting. Select a lower broil setting to avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done stage. To sear rare steaks, allow the element to become redhot--about 2 minutes--before placing food in the oven. Place the grid on the broiler pan, then place the food on the grid. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil. The exposed fat could ignite. Place the pan on the oven rack. Leave the door open at the broil stop position while broiling. The door will stay in this position without closing. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side.

Permanent damage to the oven may result. DO NOT line the oven). to metal. Oven General Cleaning Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning. To Remove Heavy Soil 1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth. 2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring necessary, use an oven cleaner following NOT mix ammonia with other cleaners. 3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth. pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If manufacturer's instructions. DO Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners: 1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire. 2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located in the rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube. 3. oven walls, bottom, racks or any other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the fused DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range, plastic or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces. Continuous Cleaning Oven (some models) Continuous cleaning ovens have a special coating which is a porous ceramic material. This rough coating tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little beads which run down the side walls leaving streaks that require hand cleaning. Instead, when spatter hits the porous coating, it disperses and is partially absorbed. This spreading action increases the exposure of oven soil to heated air, making it less noticeable. Soil may not disappear completely. Remaining soil will gradually fade with continued oven use. The special coating works best on small amounts of spatter. Larger spills, or spills generating from sugar, egg and dairy mixtures, do not clean as well. If difficult soils occur: 1. Remove the oven racks and cookware. 2. Remove soils by completing steps a or b below: a) Use hot, soapy water and wash soils using a nylon-bristly brush or a nylon mesh scouring pad. DO NOT rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or sponges. They will leave lint on the oven coating. b) Apply ammonia with a sponge and dab it into the porous coating. Leave the ammonia on the soiled area for 30 minutes. 3. Rinse with clear water. 4. 5. 6. Close the oven door and push in and turn the Temperature to 450°F (230°C). Operate oven for 15 minutes. Remaining soil will fade with continued oven use. 9 Control knob General Cleaning Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is cool. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleanings will reduce the effort required for major cleanings later. Surfaces Aluminum Glass, Knobs, Trim How (Trim Pieces) & Vinyl Painted and Body Sides, Plastic Control and Decorative Stainless Steel, Chrome Decorative Trim Porcelain Enamel Insert, Door Liner Oven Control Broiler Panel, Pan and Racks to Clean Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth. For general cleaning, use hot, soa py water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place. Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth. Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Cleaners made especially for stainless steel such as Stainless Steel Magic, trademark of Magic American Corp., or similar products are recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place. Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle for cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry. If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions). Oven Door To clean oven door, wash with immerse the door in water. hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT CLEANFRAME DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a silicone rubber material, on non self cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket. DO HAND CLEANDOOR DO DOOR GASKET 10 General Cleaning - Coil Element Models Be sure the range is cool before removing elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal ends when replacing elements after cleaning. Hold Down Clip (if equipped) Allow Element Support to rest on drip pan inside rim. Terminal End Plug Main Top When lowering the lift- up range top, grasp the sides with finger-tips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. DO NOT drop or bend the range top when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface. Surface Elements and Drip Bowls Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with a damp cloth--any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used. Never immerse a surface element in water. To Remove the Surface Elements and Drip Bowls 1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end. Lift the surface element and drip bowl together just enough to clear the cooktop. 2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal end out from the terminal plug. If equipped, DO NOT remove the hold down clip from the drip bowl. To Clean Drip Bowls Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still warm. Hard to remove, burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia and water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth. To Replace Drip Bowls and Surface Elements 1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip bowl. 2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your drip bowl is equipped with a hold down clip, align the element support opposite the terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip, and snap into place. 3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end with the terminal plug as shown. 4. Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as level as possible and firmly push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element is level to reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element. To Raise the Top for Cleaning 1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front. Lift-up rods will support the top in its raised position. Only lift the top high enough to allow the support rods to snap into place. 2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water. 3. To lower the top, gently push back on each rod to release the notched support. Hold the range top and slide the range top down into the range frame. 11 General Cleaning The door is heavy.
