Installing Your
~ Range
Your range, like many other
household items, is heavy and can
settle into soft floor coverings such
as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
When moving the range on this
type of flooring, use care, and it
is recommended that these simple
and inexpensive instructions
be followed.
The range should be installed on
a l/4-inch-thick sheet of plywood
(or similar material) as follows:
When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range, the area
that the range will rest on should
be built up with plywood to the
same level or higher than the
floor covering. This will allow
the range to be moved for
cleaning or servicing. For
complete information, see
the Installation Instructions in
the back of this book.

each corner of the base of the
range. Remove the bottom drawer

Energy-Saving Tips
Surface Cooking
● Use cookware of medium weight
aluminum, with tight-fitting
covers, and flat bottoms which -
completely cover the heated
portion of the surface unit.
. Cook fresh vegetables with a
minimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
● Watch foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at
high heat. When food reaches
cooking temperature, reduce heat
immediately to lowest setting that
will keep it cooking.
● 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.
Oven Cooking
. Preheat oven only when
necessary, Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary,
watch the indicator light, and put
food in oven promptly after the
light goes out.
. Always turn oven off before
removing food.
● During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open
as short a time as possible if it
is opened.
. 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.
c 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,
