OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY TIPS
Some "common sense" rules to remember:
· Always be certain that the oven parts are cool before
touching them when hands are not protected by a
potholder.
· Always use a dry potholder, never a moist one, nor a
trailing cloth, to avoid possible burns from steam.
· Pulling out oven racks is a convenience when lifting
heavy foods, but caution should be used against
possible burns from touching hot surface.
· For your safety, never use the range as a space
heater.
· Do not heat unopened containers such as jars, cans,
etc., in the oven. The build-up of pressure may cause
the container to burst and can cause serious personal
harm or damage the range.
· Do not use aluminum foil on the racks or oven bottom.
This will hinder heat circulation.
· Do not use aluminum foil on the racks or oven bottom
when cleaning. The self-cleaning feature makes this
unnecessary.
· Do not attempt to clean the oven or broiler burner
ignitor assembly. The ignitors are electrically oper-
ated and the danger of electric shock is present.
· Do not place baking utensils directly on the oven
bottom.
· Do not use disposable or substitute broiler pans. The
broiler pan and grid provided with the range have
been scientifically designed to keep drippings cool so
they will not become hot enough to ignite.
· Always remove the broiler pan and grid from the oven
when baking and roasting. A possible fire hazard
could exist if a soiled pan and grid are left in the oven.
Also, any drippings on the grid will become baked on
and will be very difficult to remove.
· Never cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. It may
trap grease and cause it to smoke. If desired, place
a sheet of aluminum foil to line the broiler pan
underneath the broiler grid to ease clean up. (A cup
of water placed in the broiler pan will also minimize
clean up.)
· Never use the range as storage space.
· Never store flammable items in the storage drawer.
BROILING
The Ultra-Ray® Broiler
To use the Ultra-Ray® broiler, set the selector dial to
"Manual" and the temperature control dial to "Broil" (since
all broiling is done with a fast, searing heat, no temperature
selection is used except with certain recipes). The burner
lights automatically in 50 - 60 seconds. During the broil
cycle the burner will cycle on and off. For programming
information on models with the Electronic Range Control,
see Section III, Operation and Troubleshooting, ERC
Control.
Things to Remember:
CLOSE THE DOOR COMPLETELY FOR ALL BROILING.
Ultra-Ray® consumes most smoke and spatter. Kitchen
stays cleaner, cooler.
DO NOT PRE-HEAT THE BROILER BEFORE USING.
BAKING
For best results preheat the oven first. Turn the selector
dial to "Manual" and the thermostat dial to the desired
temperature. The oven will light automatically. Allow the
oven to heat to temperature, approximately fifteen (15)
minutes. For programming information on models with the
Electronic Range Control, see Section III, Operation and
Troubleshooting, ERC Control.
The range is equipped with tilt proof oven racks with
automatic stops. The oven racks are removable and can
be inserted at various levels. They can be pulled to the
"STOP" position without danger of tipping. To remove the
racks, pull to the stop position, raise the forward edge, and
lift. Reverse the procedure to install racks. One or both
oven racks can be used during baking.
Always keep in mind that heated air in the oven must be
allowed to circulate freely. Leave at least 1 1/2" between
utensils and between utensils and the oven walls. For
example, never place one cake layer directly over another
- stagger them within the oven.
