SURFACE ELEMENTS
Surface elements are self-cleaning. Do not immerse ele-
ments in water.
To remove surface elements: Raise element WHEN
COOL and carefully pull out and away from the recepta
cle.
REFLECTOR PANS
Reflector pans are located under each surface element.
They must be held in plsce whenever the elements are in
use. One reflector pan has a hole in the center for proper
oven venting. This vent is located under the left rear ele-
ment.
To clean pans: 1) Clean pans after each use with soap
and water. Remove stubborn stains with baking soda
paste and plastic scouring pad. 2) To prevent scratching
the finish, do not use abrasive cleaning agents. 3) Rinse,
dry and replace. Be sure reflector pan with hole in center
is correctly replaced over the oven vent.
To replace elements: Insert the terminals on the element
into the receptacle and guide element into place until
element sits level on reflector pan.
BASIC INFORMATION ON OVEN COOKING AND BROILING
OVEN CHARACTERISTICS
Every oven has its own personal characteristics. You
may find that the cooking times and temperatures you
were accustomed to with your old range may alter slightly
with your new range. Please expect some differences
with this new range or built-in oven.
PREHEATING
Preheating is necessary only for baking operations; it
is not necessary to preheat the oven for broiling or roast-
ing. To preheat, turn the Oven Temperature Control to
the desired temperature and the Selector Control to the
desired setting. Do not select a higher temperature, for
the oven will not preheat any faster. Allow about 10 to
15 minutes for the oven to preheat before placing food
in the oven.
OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Your range or built-in oven is equipped with an Oven
Temperature Control marked in increments of 100” F.
with dots representing 25 or 50” segments. TO BROIL,
turn the knob past 500 ’ F. to the stop position on the
knob.
For accurate cooking temperatures, turn the knob to
(but not past and then back) the desired temperature.
OVEN SIGNAL LIGHT
Our ranges are equipped with a Selector Control, the
Oven Signal Light will turn on when the oven is tvrned on.
When the oven reaches the present temperature, the ljght
will automatically turn off and will cycle on and off as the
oven element cycles on and off to maintain the present
temperature. The light will turn offwhen theoven isturned
off.
SELECTOR CONTROL
Your range or built-in oven may be equipped with a Se-
lector Control. This control works together with the Oven
Temperature Control. The Selector Control selects the
type of operation and the Oven Temperature Control
selects the oven temperature.
The Selector Control on your range will have two or more
of the following selections:
BAKE-Only the lower oven element will turn on. Use
this selection for baking, roasting or preheating opera-
tions.
BROIL-Only the upper oven
element will turn on. Use this
selection ONLY for broiling.

OVEN VENT
The oven vent is located under the left rear surface ele-
ment and reflector pan. When the oven is in use, thisarea
may feel warm or hot to the touch. The element can be
used for surface cooking. To prevent baking problems,
do not block the vent opening with aluminum or other
materials.
