OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

USING YOUR

RANGE

Top Burner Operation:

Note- When boiling food, the highest temperature that can be

reached is the boiling point. When the liquid starts to boil,

decrease the size of the flame until you reach the minimum

flame that will hold the boil. This will save gas. It will also

decrease the possibilty of burning food or boiling over, and

help keep your kitchen cooler. Use stable cookware with flat

bottoms, and always place the cookware on the burner grate

before lighting the burner. Unstable or rounded bottom

cookware will not contact properly with the grate and will

affect the cooking efficiency. Select cookware large enough to

avoid spillovers, but remember, over-sized cookware

(diameters exceeding 8

/2”) can cause the range finish to

discolor or chip. Damage caused by oversized cookware, such

as those sometimes used in canning, are not covered under

warranty. The finish has been manufactured to a commercially

acceptable standard and its condition is dependent upon the

care of the user.

Temperature Selection:

It is important to select the proper temperature

setting. Never set the dial to a higher degree than

necessary, with the intention of lowering the setting

at a later time. This will not speed up cooking. It

can cause the oven to cycle slower and cause the

temperature to vary so that cooking results may be

unsatisfactory. Your oven has a temperature range of

250°F ~ 500°F.

Top Burner Valves:

The top burner flame size should be adjusted so that it does

not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. As a matter of

safety, it is urged that you comply with these instructions.A

high flame on a surface burner is both inefficient and

unsafe. The flame should always be adjusted so that it is no

larger than the bottom of a pan. Fluctuations in flame size

could be caused by pressure variations, improperly

positioned burners, damage, or debris.

FLAME SIZE TYPE OF COOKING

High

Start most foods; bring water to a boil;

pan-broiling.

Medium

Maintain a slow boil; Thicken sauces,

gravies; steaming.

Low Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.

RACK FOOD

1 Broiling meats, chicken or fish

1 or 2 Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits and muffins

Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast, bread,

casseroles, small cuts of meat or poultry

2 Turkey, roast or ham

Recommended Rack Positions for

Broiling, Baking, and Roasting

Baking:

When baking, follow the recipe instructions. Use correct

ingredients, measure them carefully, and use the correct

type and size cookware suggested in the recipe.

Remember to preheat properly. Avoid frequent opening

of the oven door during preheating and baking. When

baking cakes in glass baking dishes, lower the oven

temperature 25°F to prevent browning of the bottom and

sides before the top becomes brown.Also, when using

glass bakeware, it would be better to increase the preheat

time to have exact stabilization of the oven’s

temperature. To do so, allow 20 minutes time for

temperatures up to 350°F and 30 minutes for

temperatures up to 425°F. Avoid opening the door as

much as possible.

Oven Racks:

The oven racks should be arranged before the oven knob

is turned to an “ON” position. Place the racks so the food

is centered in the oven, not the rack. When more than

one dish is used, be sure to stagger them, allowing space

between each one. Do not allow the dishes to touch any

part of the oven, especially the glass window. It is best to

use two racks and place food so one dish is not directly

over another.

Rack Removal:

Pull the oven rack forward and lift up on the front of the

rack so it will clear the rack keeper. To replace the oven

rack, guide the angled rear portion of the rack under the

rack keeper and slide the rack to the rear. Never cover

the oven racks with aluminum foil. Such practices will

trap heat and cause intense heat in spots which usually

give poor results. It can damage the porcelain finish as

well as glass windows in oven doors.

Preheating:

Heat the oven to the desired temperature before placing

the food in the oven. Preheat for 10 to 12 minutes.

Opening the Oven Door:

Let hot air/steam escape before removing/replacing food.

Arranging Oven Racks:

The oven racks should be arranged before the oven is

turned “ON”. Place the racks so the food is centered in

the oven.

Always turn to the full

LITE position when

igniting the top

burners. Then adjust the

flame size so it does not

extend beyond the edge

of the cookware.

Note: Know which knob

controls each burner.

Place a pan of food on

the burner before turning

it on, and turn the burner

off before removing the

pan.
