NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

Oven Characteristics Setting The Oven Controls Every oven has its own characteristics. You may find that the cooking times and temperatures you were accustomed to with your previous oven may need to be altered slightly with the new oven. Please expect some differences with the new appliance. Compare your recipes with the baking chart on page 10 or refer to a reliable cookbook for proper recommendations. It is normal to notice some differences between this appliance and your old one.
Oven Racks Rack Positions The two oven racks are designed with a lock-stop position to keep the racks from accidentally coming completely out of the oven when there is food placed on them. It is important that air can circulate freely within the oven and around the food. To help ensure this, place food in the center of the oven rack. Allow one to two inches between the edge of the utensil(s) and the oven walls. If cooking on two racks, stagger the food to ensure proper air flow.
• Use a reliable recipe and accurately measure ingredients. Carefully follow directions especially for oven temperature and cooking time. • Use the correct rack position. Baking results may be affected if the wrong rack is used. * Top browning may be darker if food is located toward the top of the oven. * Bottom browning may be darker if food is located toward the bottom of the oven. • Utensil material and size play an important part in baking results, especially the amount of browning.
Baking Chart You may find these guidelines helpful when comparing the baking times, temperatures and oven rack positions of commonly baked foods.
If you have carefully followed the basic instructions and still experience poor results, these suggestions may be helpful:. Cause Slow baking or roasting. Baking or roasting time too short. Excessive Temperature too low. shrinkage. Oven out of calibration. Old oven out of calibration. Incorrect use of aluminum foil. Oven not preheated. Oven door opened too frequently. Too many pans on racks. Crumbly or dry Pans touching each other or texture. oven walls. Batter uneven in pans.
Roasting Roasting is the method for cooking large, tender cuts of meat uncovered, without adding moisture. General Tips Most meats are roasted at 325°F. It is not necessary to preheat the oven. Place the roasting pan on a rack which has been placed in either of the two lowest rack positions. Use tender cuts of meat weighing three pounds or more. Some good choices are: beef rib, rib eye, top round, high quality tip and rump roast, pork loin roast, veal and lamb leg, shoulder roast and cured or smoked hams.
Broiling is a method of cooking used for tender steaks, chops, hamburgers, chicken, fish and some fruits and vegetables. The food is placed directly under the burner. The degree of doneness is determined by the distance between the meat and the burner, and the length of broiling time. General Tips Broiling requires the use of the broiler pan and insert supplied with your range. It is designed to drain excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to prevent spatters, smoke and fire.
Programmed Oven Operations The Programmed Oven Operations feature can be used to turn off the oven at a specific time or delay the start and then turn off the oven. This feature will not operate unless the clock is functioning and is set to the correct time of day. IMPORTANT: Highly perishable foods such as dairy products, pork, poultry, seafood or stuffing are not recommended for delayed cooking.

MAINTENANCE Oven or Broiler Door Do not place excessive weight on an open oven door or stand on an open door as, in some cases, it could damage the door, cause the appliance to tip over and possibly cause injury. When opening the oven door, allow steam and hot air to escape before reaching into the oven to check, add or remove food. To remove: Open the door to the stop position (opened about 6 inches) and grasp the door with both hands at each side. Do not use door handle to lift the door.
Oven light bulb is located on the back oven wall. Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect power to oven. Be sure bulb is cool. Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb may break. Use a dry pot holder to prevent possible harm to hands. If bulb should break, use pot holder to protect hands and very carefully remove bulb. If bulb breaks at base, have a service technician remove bulb. Replace with a 40 watt appliance bulb. Restore power to oven. Reset clock.
