V safety tips

1_ PROPER INSTALLATION -- Be sure your range is properly installed and electrically grounded by a skilled technician

2.NEVER use your range for warming or heating the room,

3.DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR AREAS

NEAR ELEMENTS -- Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color Areas near heating elements may become hot enough to cause burns

During and right after use, do not touch or tet clothing touch heating elements or areas near heating elements,

For example: Oven vent opening and areas near these openings, oven doors, windows of oven doors, etc.

4o DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE -- Children should not be left alone in the area where range is in use Never aliow them to sit or stand on any part of the range.

5o WEAR PROPER APPAREL -- Don't wear Ioose fit- ting or hanging garments while using the range, They may get in the way and catch on fire.

6o USER SERVICING -- Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless it tells you to in this manuai_ Refer servicing to a skilled technician,

7, STORAGE IN OR ON RANGE -- Don't store flam- mable materials in or near your range,

8o DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES

Smother fire or'flame with pan tid or use baking soda or foam type extinguisher

9.USE ONLY DRY POTHOLDER -- Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in bums from steam,. Do not let pothotder touch heating elements Do not use a towel or bulky cloth

10.CAUTION DO NOT -- store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back of a range, Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured,.

2.NEVER LEAVE SURFACE UNITS UNATTENDED AT HIGH HEAT SETTINGS -- Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch fire

3.MAKE SURE REFLECTOR PANS OR DRIP BOWLS ARE IN PLACE -- Absence of these pans or bowls dur-

ing cooking may cause damage to wiring or com., ponents underneath.

4o PROTECTIVE LINERS -- Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowts,

5. GLAZED COOKING UTENSILS -- Only certain types of glass, glasslceramics, ceramics, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top use without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature

6. UTENSIL HANDLES _ should be turned in and not extend over other surface units. This will prevent burns,

fiamable materials catching on fire and spills due to ac- cidental contact with the utensil

7o DO NOT SOAK REMOVABLE SURFACE UNITS --

Unit will clean itself when heated during normal cooking use

OVENS

1. USE CARE WHEN OPENING DOOR -- Let hot air

escape before removing or replacing food

2.DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD CONTAINERS

Build up of pressure may cause container to explode and result in injury,

3.KEEP OVEN VENT DUCTS UNCOVERED,

4o PLACEMENT OF OVEN RACKS _ Only move oven racks when the oven is cool if rack must be moved

while oven is hot do not tet potholder touch oven

heating element,

5. PROTECTIVE LINERS -- Use aluminum foil liners in the oven and bottom only as suggested in this manual See page 11

SURFACE UNITS

1. USE PROPER PAN SIZE -- This range has one or more surface units of a different size Select utensils

having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit The use of undersized utensils will expose a poc- tion of the heating element to direct contact and may

result in clothing catching on fire. Proper fit of utensil to the unit will allow the unit to do a better job of heating your utensi! and saving energy

SELF- CLEAN OVENS

1.DO NOT'CLEAN DOOR GASKET -- The door gasket is important for a good seal, Take care not to rub, damage or move the gasket

2.DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS _ Never use com- mercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of

any kind in or around any part of the oven_

3. CLEAN only parts listed in manual,

4o BEFORE SELF.CLEANING THE OVEN _ Remove oven racks, broiler pan and other utensils

About a hood...

If :your kitchen is currently equipped with a range hood, you are familiar:with the benefits provided by. this appliance: If your kitchen does not inctude a range hood, we suggest you consider buying one now

RANGE HOOD (Model 553 Series)

Stainless Steel Range Hood provides the necessary ventilation for use with this model. Automatic Heat Sensor

turns hood to Ht from a LO or OFF position in case of high heat during cooking

Why buy a range hood?

A range hood is a kitchen appliance that cleans the air in order to provide a cfeaner and more pleasant indoor environment for the whole family Cooking odors - especially those generated by fish. cabbage, onions, etc saturate the entire living quarters of a home This is particularly true today, since due to the high cost of energy, homes are tighter and better insulated

As you know, heat rises and with it also the grease, odors, smoke, and moisture generated by your cooking A vented hood would remove these pollutants and prevent them from spreading and settling in your walls, ceilings, drapes. cabinets and furniture

Your Sears Store _ Retail or Catalog - carries a complete line of vented and ventless range hoods in wide choice of styles, colors and finishes including stainless steel to match your decorating needs

OVEN COOKING

The air within the oven is heated by a bake etement

(oven bottom) and/or a broil element (oven top) The bake element wilt heat when the oven seiector is turned to BAKE The broil element will heat when the selector is turned to BROIL

The heated air moves around the oven heating the pans and cooking the food within For even cooking or brown_.

ing, each pan needs enough space on alt sides to a_low tho the free movement of heated air throughout the

oven Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to oven bottom will not allow the free movement of air tin. proper air movement wilt cause uneven browning and cooking

TIMED OPERATION

Your range is equipped with a Kenmore "Delay Start, Cook and Off" oven This modern feature allows you to

prepare a roast and let your oven do the cooking while you attend to other things You can even leave your home to run errands, confident your oven will cook the roast just right Oven cooking, using this feature, is con.. trolled by the clock Prepare your food as you would nor.. mally and place in the oven Set the controls and let your oven do the rest. The oven wilt come on at the selected start time, heat to the selected termperature and maintain that temperature until the selected stop time has been reached The oven will then turn off

ENERGY CONSERVING TIPS

1.Turn off all controls when cooking is complete unless holding foods at a keep warm" setting

2.Keep oven door closed when using oven This prevents heat loss and lowers energy use Turn on your oven light and use the VISI-BAKE' window for viewing food

3o Plan meal menus in advance Take advantage of available oven heat by cooking two foods at the same time

4.Thaw frozen foods before cooking whenever possible

HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN

RACK ARRANGEMENTS

The rack(s) should be arranged before fixing foods or turning on the oven.. The oven has two four-position rack guides Rack position No I is the lowest position while position No_ 4 is the highest. In general, when using one rack, place it at the No. 2 position When using two racks, place one rack at the No 2 position and the other at the No. 4 position_

PAN PLACEMENT

Normally, t I/2 to 2 inches of air space should be allowed

on all sides of each pan in the oven. The following place. ment tips will prove helpful:

oWhen baking a sponge or angel food cake (Fig 1), center on rack.

oWhen using a large, flat pan that covers most of tries tack (Fig. 2), center on rack

eWhen using two racks and several pans, stagger them so no pan is directly above another (Fig. 3). The pan or pans using the least amount of rack area should be placed on the lower of the two racks (Fig?? 4)

OFFSET RACK

The offset rack is designed to provide extra handling space away from the element when pulling the rack in and out of the lowest position, It can also be used

In position 4 to place food closer to the upper ele- ment. Always install so the offset Is up.

ELECTRIC COOKING

Cooking on an electric counter unit is cooking with "invisible" heat The surface heating units may look the same whether hot or cold Utensils of proper size and

design wilt cover the heating coil and absorb the full heat output An undersized utensil will not cover the

heating coil The uncovered portion will then glow red This indicatesa waste" of heat and energy Heat and energy may be wasted" and/or cooking results affected when:

=Your cooking utensils are warped and do not sit flat against the surface element

,,You leave an empty utensii on a hot unit This can damage the range cooktop, reflector bowls and your utensils

Your pan is much smaller than the surface unit Always center pan on unit so heat is evenly distributed Be sure pan handles are not over another surface unit or extending past the front of the range Upon initial use of your surface units a burning odor may be detected This is merely soil on the units being burned away

SELECTING COOKING UTENSILS

Many easy-.care, colorful finishes, materials and designs have been developed for pots and pans to make cooking easier The materials under the finish and design of the pan, wilt determine how well a pan heats

orrna

CONSIDER THE MATERIAL

Glass Ceramic cookware is slow to change tempera- ture. It works best for tong, low heat cooking with ali-. quid

Aluminum is a metaf that spreads heat quickly and evenly This cookware is best for frying, braising and pot roasts. The inside of an aluminum utensil may be a natural finish, a "satin" finish or a non..stick coating Stainless Steel, in cookware, is usually combined with other metals such as aluminum, copper or carbon steel These other metals make the cookware heat up more quickly while the stainless steel makes this cookware exceptionally strong and long lasting Stainless steel cookware is used for frying, sauces, soups, vegetables and egg cooking

Cast Iron is slow to change temperature and holds heat. This makes good cookware for browning, frying, stew- ing and other "top of the range" cooking.. Today you can buy cast iron cookware that is plain or you can buy it with a colorful porcelain finish

Copper, Tinlined eookware is great for gourmet cook- ing, wine sauces and egg cookery tt is quick _o change temperature Remember that tin lining will wear thin with continued use It must be retinned to avoid a

poisonous reaction between the copper, the heat and the food.

Porcelain Enamel over steel gives you !ong lasting cookware that is stain and scratch resistant How well it

heats depends upon the type of steel used Enamelware works best for cooking soups and other liquids

You will find a complete line of glass/ceramic and metal cookware in larger Sears stores

The correct pan makes baking easier and will give you the best results, Use the pan size shown in the recipe Warped or darkened pans wont give you even browning results or level baked goods

Ovenware comes in a number of materials and finishes Understanding how these materials react to oven heat wdl help you get the browning and crusts you wish

Aluminum is best for cakes, muffins some quick breads cookies and roasting AIuminum is ideal for a lightly browned tender crust It absorbs heat more slowly than

steel or glass For roasting it will spatter less than porcelain or sleet pans

The ovenware, shown above will give your food deep,

musty brown surfaces They absorb heat quickly and hold it When baking in these kinds of cookware lower oven

temperature 25 ??

Teflon ,-_dull or darkened cookware are good for pies and other food baked in pastry shelis They absorb heat more rapidty than bright shiny pans

BAKING TiPS

RECIPE Follow recipe or package instructions Use sug- gested pan size for best results The suggested cooking times may need to be changed in high altitude areas Contact your local library for information about high altitude cooking

COOLING TIME After removing a cake from the oven, allow it to coot on a rack for 10 to 15 minutes before

removing the cake from the pan This cooling helps to avoid cracking or tearing the cake A cake should not be frosted (unless recipe states otherwise) until cake has cooled

BAKING TIME Set range controls before placing pans in the oven Do not open and close the oven door to check on foods This can cause poor results. Wait until the shortest baking time allowed is up. A cake is done when the top springs back after a light finger tap, or when an inserted toothpick comes out clean There should be little if any shrinkage from the edge of the

pan. Made sure oven controls are turned off when you are done

CORRECTION

Let oven preheat to the temperature you want before placing food in oven _

Select pan sizes that leave the suggested amount

of air space on all sides of each pan Refer to baking information for suggestions

_'Use a light colored, aluminum baking sheet or a dark pan wrapped in aluminum foil

Q Incorrect pan size

ROASTING

Roasting is dry heat cooking (as opposed to boiling, for example) It is suggested for poultry and tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork and veal Always place the meat with the fat side up for self.basting

OVEN ROASTING TIPS

RACK ARRANGEMENT _ Before fixing your meat, ar- range the oven racks

ROASTING PAN w Use a shallow, open pan with the meat on a rack that fits the size of the roast. A pan that's too small will allow your roast to drip over the edge. Too large a pan results in more oven spatter. You can cut down spatter by lining the bottom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil ROASTING WITH FOIL -- A foil "tent" can be used to stow surface browning. This is good on a large turkey Place tent-shaped foil loosely over the meat This

FOIL ROASTING TENT

alIows oven air to move around under foil Sealing the foit will tend to steam the meat

OVEN TEMPERATURE -- For the best flavor and

tenderness, see the chart for suggested oven temper. tures

MEAT THERMOMETER -- An accurate meat ther- mometer tells when your meat is roasted the way you like it Put thermometer into the center of the largest muscle of meat or in the inner thigh or breast of poultry For a correct temperature reading, the tip of the ther. mometer should not touch fat layers, bone or gristle

MEAT THERMOMETER

JUDGING DONENESS _ To get a correct reading when using a meat thermometer move it up and down t/2'"or so (see illust.). Roasts will be easier to carve if you let them set for 10 to 20 minutes after removing from oven For standing roasts, remove from the oven when the thermometer registers 5 ?? to 10 ?? tower that the preferred aloneness as meat wilt continue to cook afte_ removal

FOOD PREPARATION

Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops Slit the fatty edges to stop the meat from curling For juiciest meat, salt the first side just before meat is turn- ed Salt second side just before the meat is served Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil When broiling fish, grease the grid to prevent sticking

BROILING TIME

For even broiling on both sides, atways start the food on a cold pan Aflow a tittle more than half the suggested time for the first side, then turn food, using tongs ff you pierce meat with a fork, the juices will escape

When broiling frozen meat, use one rack position lower

than given below as well as up to tl/2 times the sug- gested broiling time

FOIL USE

DO NOT COVER THE BROILER GRID WITH FOIL. POOR

DRAINAGE OF HOT FAT MAY RESULT IN A BROILER

FIRE. If foil must be used, make sure slots are cut in foil to match all the openings in broiler grid. Fat can then drip away from meat and be cooled in pan??

POSITIONING BROILER PAN

After placing food on broiler pan, slide pan into the pro- per rack position NOTE: Rack positions are numbered from lowest to highest, 1 to 4 Our suggested position, temperature and cooking time can be found in the chart below

Leave the door open when broiling to the first stop posi- tion. tf the door is closed, the food will roast and not broil

BROILER FIRE

Close the oven door and turn controls off. If fire con- tinues, throw baking soda on the fire. DON'T put water or flour on the fire Flour may be EXPLOSIVE.
