Oven Cooking Tips - Kenmore 95649 Use, Care, Safety Manual

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q. Can I use special cooking equipment, like an oriental
wok, on any of the cooking elements?
A. We recommend that you use only flat bottomed
woks. Cookware without flat surfaces Is not recom-
mended.
Q. May I can foods and preserves on my maintop cook-
ing elements?
A. Yes, but only use cookwara designed for canning
purposes. Check the manufacturer's Instructions
and recipes for preserving foods. Be sure canner Is
fiat-bottomed and fits over the center of the cooking
element selected. Canning generates large amounts
of steam; be careful to avoid burns.
Q. Why am I not getting the heat I need from my selected
cooking element even though the knob Is on the right
setting?
A. Use cookware with flat bottoms and center the cook-
ware on the coils of the cooking element selected.
Metal cookware will conduct heat best.

OVEN COOKING
GENERAL RULES
When cooking a food for the first time In your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and Is more apt to be accurate than the oven it
replaced.
After you have used your oven for awhile, if you feel
your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust
Ityourself. SeeTEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS
in this manual.
NO PEEKING -- Opening the door too often to
check food during baking will allow heat loss and
may cause poor baking results.
There may be some odor when the oven Is first used.
This is caused by the heating of new parts and
Insulation.
Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil. The foil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
results. Do not place any foil directly above the bake
element. Foil used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface; therefore, It
should not be used.
