Instilling
Your Range
Energy-SavingTips
Your range, like man)- 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 sheet of plywood (or similar
material)
as follows: When the
floor
coveting
emls at the front of
the range, the area that the range
will rest on should be built up with
plv_vood to the same level or higher
than the floor covering. This will
allow the range to be nroved for
cleaning
or servicing.
Leveling the
Range
Leveling screws are located on
each corner of the base of the
range• Remove the bottom drawer
and you can level the range on an
uneven floor with the use of a
nutdriver.
To remove drawer, pull drawer
out all the way, tilt up the front
and take it out. To replace
drawer,
insert glides at back of
drawer beyond stop on range glides.
Lift drawer if necessal 5' m insert
easily. Let fi'ont of drawer down,
then push into close.
One of the rear leveling screws
will engage the ANTI-TIP bracket
(allow for sonre side to side
adjustment).
Allow a nrinimum
clearance of 1/8" between the range
and the leveling screw that is to be
installed into the ANTI-TIP bracket•
Surface Cooking
• Use cookware of medium weight
alunrinum,
with tight-fitting
covers,
and flat bottoms which completely
cover the heated portion of the
surface unit•
• Cook flesh vegetables
with a
minimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
. Watch lBods when bringing them
quickly m cooking tenrperatures
at
HIGH heat. When food reaches
cooking temperature,
reduce heat
immediately
to lowest setting that
will keep it cooking•
• Use residual
heat with surt'ace
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.
• Use correct heat for cooking task:
HIGH_o
start cooking (if tinre
allows, do not use HIGH heat to
start).
MEDIUM
HIGH
quick browning•
MEDIUM
slow frying.
LOW
finish cooking nrost
quantities,
sinmler
double
boiler
heat, finish cooking,
and special
for small quantities.
WARM
to maintain
serving
temperature
of most foods.
• When boiling water for tea
or coffee, heat only the anrount
needed. It is not economical
to boil
a container fifll of water for one
or two cups.
Oven Cooking
• Preheat oven only when
necessary• Most foods will cook
satisfactorily
without
preheating•
If you find that preheating
is
necessaD- , watch the indicator
light, and put food in oven
pronrptly after the light goes out.
*,Always turn oven OFF before
removing food.
• During baking, avoid ffequem
door openings. Keep door open
as sho_ atime as possible ifitis
opened•
. Be sure to wipe up excess spillage
before starting the self-cleaning
operation.
• Cook conrplete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables,
and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish
casserole,
meat
loaI, chicken or roast• Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature
and in approxmrately
the same time.
• 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.
