ourner ana slowly turn tne control knob on until the burner lights. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired setting. Power failures will not affect stand- ing pilots. Do not attempt to operate an electric ignition oven during a power failure.
Burn, Fire and Explosion Hazard
. Burner flame should not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. The flame could burn you
and cause poor cooking results.
. Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a burner is accidentally left ON.
. If the flame should go out while cook- ing, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five min- utes for the gas odor to disappear before relighting burner. If gas odor is still present, see safety note on page 3. Failure to follow these precautions
could result in explosion or fire.
Product Damage Hazard
Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner.
The utensil could overheat and could damage the utensil or cooking product.
Cookware tips
No one brand of cookware is best for all people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the correct cookware for your needs.
. NOTE: For best results and greater fuel efficiency, use only
. Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick- ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
*The pan material (metal or glass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface burners through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
. Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.
l
l
l
Pans should be easy to clean. Check to be sure there are no crevices, rough edges or areas where food might collect.
Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are full or empty.
Use cookware only as it was intended to be used. Follow pan instructions. This is very important for glass cookware because some should be used only in the oven. Other pans are marked as flameware and may be used on the surface burners.
Home canning information
The larger diameter of most
To protect your range:
l For best results, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner.
l Do not place canner on two surface burners at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop.
l Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control IS set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.
l Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.
Positioning racks and
For baking/roasting with one rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

pans
Personal Injury Hazard
*Always position oven rack(s) in desired location before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.
l If rack(s) must be moved while oven is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to protect hands.
l Do not place iiems on the open oven door.
l Be careful when installing and removing large food items from extra roasting rack position. Food will be close to hot surfaces, including oven bottom and sides.
Failure to follow the above precautions could result in personal injury.
continued on next page g
Extra oven rack position (roasting rack)
For best air circulation
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.
l Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other.
l For best results, allow
between pans and oven walls. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).
l Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at one time.
Use the following as a guide to determine where to place the pans:
One pan
Place in the center of the oven rack.
Two pans
Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.
Three or four pans
Place in opposite corners on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.

Adjusting the oven temperature
Oven temperature controls will gradually shift after years of use. So, even though your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.
If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, you can adjust them by following these steps:
1.Make sure the Oven Temperature Control Knob is turned to the off position. Pull knob straight off and flip it over.
2.Loosen the locking screws inside the control knob. Note the position of the notches.
3.To lower the temperature, hold knob handle firmly and move the tooth a notch clockwise. Each notch equals about 20??F (11??C).
5.Tighten the locking screws and replace the control knob.

Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product:
l Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides and
l Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help shorten cooking time.
l Preheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.
l
l Use the more efficient surface burners instead of the oven when possible.
The oven vent
Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent located at rear of cooktop. The vent is needed for air circulation. Do not block the vent. Poor baking/roasting will result.
NOTE: Never store plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any of the surface burners.
Burn Hazard
When the oven is ON, pans and pan handles left near the oven vent could become hot enough to burn the user and to melt plastics. Use potholders to move pans.
l
l
l
l
l
l
Turn on the surface burner only after placing filled pan on the burner grate. ???Oven peeking??? may cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking results. Rely on your timer to keep track of the cooking time.
Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is warm. Best time to bake is right after a meal has been cooked in oven.
Preheat the oven no longer than necessary.
Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the range. When using the oven to cook one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in it also.
Do not preheat when broiling, roasting or cooking items such as casseroles.
