Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. All ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.
WARNING! SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ■ Keep hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires. ■ Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. ■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Installation Instructions ■ Don’t immerse or soak removable surface units. Don’t put them in a dishwasher. ■ When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on. ■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over sides of pan. ■ Use little fat for effective shallow or deepfat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model. Surface Cooking Controls Your surface units and controls are designed to give you a variety of heat settings for surface unit cooking. At both OFF and HI positions, there is a slight niche so control clicks at those positions; HI marks the highest setting; LO, the lowest setting. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the surface units.
The OVEN TEMP knob is located on the control panel on the front of the range. Oven Temperature Control Bump The Oven Cycling Light glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then goes off and on with the oven unit(s) during cooking. Operating Instructions To use the oven, simply turn the knob to the desired cooking temperatures, which are marked in 25°F. increments on the dial. OVEN TEMP maintains the temperature you set, from WM (170°F.) to BROIL (550°F.).
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on. How to Set Your Oven for Baking or Roasting Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the oven for baking or roasting. Place food in oven on center of shelf. Allow at least 2 inches between edge of bakeware and oven wall or adjacent cookware. Close oven door. Turn OVEN TEMP knob clockwise to desired temperature. Preheat oven for at least 10 minutes if preheating is necessary.
Broiling may be slightly different from any previous broiling you may be acquainted with, so be sure to read this section completely. How to Set Your Oven for Broiling Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2″ apart.
Questions and Answers Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the oven for broiling. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a grid in the pan? Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should? Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range may be low.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range. Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.
