ONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
new range?
A. Range temperatures are standardized. For instance,
another. We suggest consulting a basic cookbook such
as Betty Cracker or Better Homes and Gardens. These
cookbooks contain basic baking and cooking times and
temperatures.
2. Q. I've put an oven thermometer in my oven and
noticed it does not maintain a constant tempera-
ture. Do I have a problem?
A. To maintain a temperature for baking, your Amana
oven will cycle off and on. You may see a "swing" in
temperature of as much as + 25*F, but the average will
be the temperature desired. This temperature cycling is
considered a normal procedure in range operation.
3. Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
grid in the pan?
A. Yes. The grid suspends the meat over the pan. As
the meat cooks! the juices fall into the pan. Drippings
are protected under the grid and stay cooler, thus pre-
venting excessive spatter and smoke.
4. Q. Must the clock be set on correct time of day
when I wish to use the Time Bake or Delayed Time
Rake features?
A. Yes. Set the clock for the correct time of day to
ensure proper operation of timed functions and satisfac-
tory results.
