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.

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.

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

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 doesn’t 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.

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.
