Cannin
9
When canning for long periods,
alternate
the use of surface
burners between
batches.
This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
•
Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
•
Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
•
For more information,
contact your local agricultural
department.
Companies
that manufacture
home canning
products
can also offer assistance.
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave empty cookware
on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware
should have a flat bottom, straight
sides and a
well-fitting
lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop
or grates. Aluminum
and
copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware.
However,
when used as a base they can leave permanent
marks on the
cooktop
or grates.
Cookware
material
is a factor in how quickly
and evenly heat is
transferred,
which
affects cooking
results. A nonstick
finish has
the same characteristics
as its base material. For example,
aluminum
cookware
with a nonstick
finish will take on the
properties
of aluminum.
Cookware
with nonstick
surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.

OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always
move birds to another closed
and well-
ventilated
room.
Preheating
is necessary
for baking It is not necessary
to preheat
for roasting. To preheat, set the oven to the desired temperature
and allow about 8 to 15 minutes for the oven to preheat.
Selecting
a temperature
higher than desired will not preheat the
oven any faster, and may have a negative effect on baking
results.

IMPORTANT:
To avoid permanent
damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom
with any type of foil or liner.
•
On those models with bottom
vents, do not block or cover
the oven bottom
vents.
•
For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because
air must be able to move freely.
•
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1/2"(1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.

Roasting
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage to the interior finish, do not place
food or cookware
directly
on the oven door or the oven bottom.
Before baking and roasting,
position the racks according
to the
"Positioning
Racks and Bakeware"
section. When roasting, it is
not necessary
to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food
in, unless recommended
in the recipe.
To Bake
or Roast:
1.
Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired
temperature
setting.
2.
Place food in oven.
The oven burner will cycle on and off to keep the oven
temperature
at the setting.
3.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time in recipe. Cook
longer if necessary.
4.
Push in and turn oven control
knob to OFF when finished.
BROILER
The broiler is located
below the oven door. The broiler pan and
grid slide out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and
oven doors closed.
•
To avoid damage to the broiler, do not step on or apply
weight to the broiler door while it is open.
•
Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely
close broiler
door during broiling.
•
It is possible
to broil longer cooking foods such as chicken
pieces at a lower temperature
to avoid overbrowning.
Turn
the knob to 400°F or 450°F, rather than Broil, for low
temperature
broiling.
•
Do not use broiler cavity for storage.
•
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is
designed to drain juices and help avert spatter
and smoke.
•
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom
of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
•
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering.
Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avert curling.
•
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
•
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning
more difficult.
To Broil:
1.
Open the broiler door and take out the broiler pan and grid.
2.
Place food on the grid so grease can drain down into the
lower part of the broiler pan.
3.
Place the pan on the broiler rack and close the broiler door.
4.
Push in and turn the oven control knob to broiler position. The
temperature
can be lowered at any time during the broiling by
turning the oven control knob to the desired temperature.
5.
Push in and turn oven control
knob to OFF position when
finished.

For best results, place food 3" (7.0 cm) or more from the broil
element. Times are guidelines
only and may need to be adjusted
for individual
foods and tastes.
