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 conserve energy
when using your cooking product.
l
Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides and
tight-fitting lids.
l
Match the pan to the surface unit size.
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
Start food on higher heat settings, then set
surface unit control on low or off to finish
cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when
possible.
l
Use the more efficient surface units instead of
the oven when possible.
l
Turn on the surface unit only after placing filled
pan on the unit.
l
"Oven peeking" may cause heat loss, longer
cooking times and unsatisfactory baking
results. Rely on your timer.
l
Bake c&es, pies or ccokiis 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.
l
Do not preheat when broiling, roasting or
cooking items such as casseroles.
Using the elbctkotiic
MEALTIMER"
control
The electronic MEALTIMER" control will turn the
oven on and off at times you set . . . even when
you are not around.
Automatic baking/roasting is ideal for foods
which do not require a preheated oven, such as
meats and casseroles. Do not use the automatic
cyde for cakes, cookies, etc. . . . undercooking will
result.
This section instructs you in two methods of
starting baking/roasting now and stopping
automatically later, and three methods of starting
and stopping automatically. Read this section
carefully to determine which method(s) is best for
you.
