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
tight-fitting lids.

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 Start
food on higher heat settings, then set
surface burner control on low or off to finish
cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when
possible.
l Use
the more efficient surface burners instead
of the oven when possible.
l Turn on
the surface burner only after placing
filled pan on the burner grate.
l “Oven peeking”
may cause heat loss, longer
cooking times and unsatisfactory baking
resufts. Rely on your timer to keep track of the
cooking time.
l
Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is
warm. Best time is after a meal has been
cooked in it.
l Preheat
the oven no longer than necessary.
l 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.
The oven vent
Hot air and moisture escape from the oven
through a vent located under the backguard. 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 can become
hot enough to burn the user and to melt
plastics. Use potholders to move pans.
