completely cover the heated  
portion of the surface unit.

● Always turn oven OFF before

quickly to cooking temperatures at

cooking temperature, reduce heat  
immediately to lowest setting that  
will keep it cooking.

dry as possible. Frost on frozen  
foods or moisture on fresh foods  
can cause hot fat to bubble up  
and over sides of pan.  
● Cook complete oven meals  
instead of just one food item.  
Potatoes, other vegetables, and  
some desserts will cook together  
with a main-dish casserole, meat  
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose  
foods that cook at the same  
temperature and in approximately  
the same time.  
● Use residual heat with surface  
cooking whenever possible. For  
example, when cooking eggs in the  
shell, bring water and eggs to boil,  
then turn to OFF position and  
cover with lid to complete the  
cooking.  
●
Use little fat for effective  
shallow or deep-fat frying.

If a combination of oils or fats  
will be used in frying, stir

● Always turn surface unit off

Use residual heat in the oven  
whenever possible to finish  
cooking casseroles, oven meals,  
etc. Also add rolls or precooked  
desserts to warm oven, using  
residual heat to warm them.  
●
Always heat fat slowly, and  
watch as it heats.

Use deep fat thermometer

Home Canning Tips  
3. When canning, use recipes and  
procedures from reputable sources.  
Reliable recipes and procedures  
are available from the  
manufacturer of your canner;  
manufacturers of glass jars for  
canning, such as Ball and Kerr;  
and the United States Department  
of Agriculture Extension Service.  
Canning should be done on  
surface units only.  
Observe Following  
in Canning  
1. Be sure the canner fits over the  
center of the surface unit. If your  
range or its location does not allow  
the canner to be centered on the  
surface unit, use small-diameter  
pots for good canning results.  
Pots that extend beyond one inch  
of cooking element’s trim ring are  
not recommended for most surface  
cooking. However, when canning  
with water-bath or pressure canner,  
large-diameter pots may be used.  
This is because boiling water  
4. Remember that canning is a  
process that generates large  
amounts of steam. To avoid burns  
from steam or heat, be careful  
when canning.  
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be  
used. Do not use canners with  
flanged or rippled bottoms (often  
found in enamelware) because they  
don’t make enough contact with  
the surface unit and take too long  
to boil water.  
temperatures (even under pressure)

surrounding the surface units.  
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE  
LARGE-DIAMETER CANNERS  
OR OTHER LARGE-DIAMETER  
POTS FOR FRYING OR  
BOILING FOODS OTHER  
THAN WATER. Most syrup or  
sauce mixtures—and all types of  
frying—cook at temperatures  
much higher than boiling water.  
Such temperatures could  
NOTE: If your house has low  
voltage, canning may take longer  
than expected, even though  
directions have been carefully  
followed. The process time will be  
shortened by:

(2) starting with HOT tap water for

Using Your Oven  
Before Using Your Oven  
Shelf Positions  
Oven Shelves  
1. Look at the controls. Be sure  
you understand how to set them  
properly. Read over the directions  
for the Oven Controls so you  
understand how to use them.  
The oven has four shelf  
A (bottom), B, C and D (top).  
Shelf positions for cooking are  
suggested on Baking and Roasting  
pages.  
2. Check oven interior. Look at the  
shelves. Take a practice run at  
removing and replacing them  
properly, to give sure, sturdy  
support.  
3. Read over information and tips  
that follow.  
4. Keep this book handy so you  
can refer to it, especially during  
the first weeks of using your new  
range.  
The shelves are designed with  
stop-locks so when placed  
correctly on the shelf supports,  
they will stop before coming  
completely out of the oven and  
will not tilt when you are removing  
food from them or placing food on  
them.  
Oven  
The light comes on automatically  
when the oven door is opened. Use  
the switch on the control panel to  
turn the light on and off when the  
door is closed.  
When placing cookware on a shelf,  
pull the shelf out to the “stop”  
position. Place the cookware on  
the shelf, then slide the shelf back  
into the oven. This will eliminate  
reaching into the hot oven.  
To remove the shelves from the  
oven, pull them toward you, tilt  
front end upward and pull them  
out.  
To replace, place shelf on shelf  
support with stop-locks (curved  
extension of  
facing up and  
toward rear of oven. Tilt up front  
and push shelf toward back of  
oven until it goes past “stop” on  
oven wall. Then lower front of  
shelf and push it all the way back.

● Filling may be too thin or juicy.  
● Filling allowed to stand in pie  
shell before baking. (Fill pie shells  
and bake immediately.)  
● Ingredients and proper measuring  
affect the quality of the crust. Use  
a tested recipe and good technique.  
Make sure there are no tiny holes  
or tears in a bottom crust.  
●
Check pan size called for in recipe.  
● Improper mixing of cake.  
Baking Tips  
Cake falls  
● Too much shortening, sugar  
or liquid.  
● Follow a tested recipe and  
measure the ingredients carefully.  
If you are using a package mix,  
follow label directions.  
● Check leavening agent, baking  
powder or baking soda to assure  
freshness. Make a habit to note  
expiration dates of packaged  
ingredients.  
● Cake not baked long enough or  
baked at incorrect temperature.  
● If adding oil to a cake mix, make  
certain the oil is the type and  
amount specified.  
● Do not open the oven door during  
a baking operation—heat will be  
lost and the baking time might  
need to be extended. This could  
cause poor baking results. If you  
must open the door, open it

A. Yes, there may be a slight odor  
during the first few cleanings.  
Failure to wipe out excessive soil  
might also cause a strong odor  
when cleaning.
