Griddle
Wipe a teaspoon of vegetable oil
over the non-stick surface of the
griddle to "condition" it before
you use it for the first time.
Do not overheat the griddle—to
do so will cause permanent staining
of the non-stick coating.
To clean the griddle, scour its
surface regularly with a plastic
pad to remove unseen or stubborn
food or grease. Even if the griddle
looks clean, a thin layer of food or
grease may cling to the surface and
eventually build up to where it will
affect the non-stick surface.
Do not use metal utensils on the
griddle—use wood or plastic ones.
Do not use metal scouring pads
or harsh scouring powders on the
non-stick surface.
Staining of the non-stick surface
can be caused by (1) failure to
wash it thoroughly after each use,
(2) minerals in the water if the
griddle is not dried, and (3) use of
too high heat.
Broiler Pan & Rack
After broiling, remove the broiler
rack and carefully pour off the
grease. Wash and rinse the pan
and rack in hot, soapy water.
If food has burned on, sprinkle
the broiler rack while hot with
detergent and cover with wet paper
towels or a dish cloth. That way,
burned-on foods will soak loose
while the meal is being served.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan
and rack in the oven.
Oven Light Bulb
Replacement
The light bulb is located in the
upper right corner of the oven.
Before replacing the bulb,
disconnect electric power to the
range at the main fuse or circuit
completely before removing it.
Replace with a high temperature
appliance bulb of the same wattage.
Do not touch a hot bulb with a
damp cloth as the bulb will break.
Adjusting the
Oven Thermostat
The temperature control in your
new oven has been carefully adjusted
to provide accurate temperatures.
However, if this oven has replaced
one you have used for several years,
you may notice a difference in the
degree of browning or the length of
time required when using your
favorite recipes. Oven temperature
controls have a tendency to "drift"
over a period of years and since
this drift is very gradual, it is not
readily noticed. Therefore, you
may have become accustomed to
your previous oven which may
have provided a higher or lower
temperature than you selected.
Before attempting to have the
temperature of your new oven
changed, be sure you have followed
the baking time and temperature of
the recipe carefully. Then, after
you have used the oven a few times
and you feel the oven is too hot
or too cool, there is a simple
adjustment you can make yourself
on the OVEN TEMP knob.
Pull the knob off the control shaft
and look at the back side. There is
a disc in the center of the knob skirt
with a series of notches on the inner
edge next to the knob shaft. One of
these notches is positioned over a
pointer on the side of the knob shaft.
Note position of
pointer to notches
before adjustment
Loosen only the
locking screws
Note which notch the pointer is
located in. To make an adjustment,
carefully loosen (approximately
one turn). but do not comuletelv
remove the two screws th~t hold the
skirt to the knob. Hold the knob in
one hand and with the other hand
carefully tilt the skirt until the
notch in the disc clears the pointer
on the knob shaft.
To raise the oven temperature, turn
the dial in the direction of the
arrow for "Raise~' To lower the
temperature, turn the
dial
direction of arrow for "Lower~'
Each notch will change the oven
temperature approximately 25"F.
We suggest that you make the
adjustment one notch from the
original setting and check oven
performance before making any
additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made, make
sure the pointer on the knob shaft
is aligned with the notch in the disc.
Press skirt and knob together and
but be careful not to overtighten.
check performance. Note: After an
adjustment has been made the "Off"
and "Broil" positions will not line
up with the indicator mark on the
control panel as they previously
did. This condition is normal and
will not create a problem.
