Installing
Your Range
Energy-Saving Tips
Your range, like many 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 /bllowed.
The range should be installed on
a sheet of plywood
(or similar
material)
as follows:
When the
floor
covering emls at the front of
the range, the area that the range
will rest on should be built up with
plywood to the same level or higher
than
the
floor
covering. This will
allow the range to be moved for
cleaning or servicing.
Leveling the
Range
Leveling screws are located on
each corner of the base of the
range. Remove the bottom &awer
and you can level the
range
on all
uneven floor,
To remove drawer,
pull drawer

and take it out. To replace
drawer,
insert rollers at back of
&awer beyond stop on range glides.
Lift &awer if necessal T to insert
easily. Let front of &awer down,
then push in to close.
Surface
Cooking
• Use cookware
of medium weight
aluminum,
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 foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures
at
HIGH heat. When food reaches
cooking temperature,
reduce heat
immediately
to lowest setting that
will keep it cooking.
* Use residual heat with surface
cooking whenever
possible.
For
example, when cooking eggs in the
shell, bring water to boil, then turn
to OFF position to complete the
cooking.
• Use correct heat for cooking task:
HI
for rapid boil (if time allows,
do not use HIGH heat to start).
MEDIUM
HI (8-9)
quick
browning.
MED
slow
frying.
LOW (2-3)
finish cooking most
quantities,
simmer
double
boiler
heat, finish cooking, and special
for small quantities.
WM-
to maintain
serving
temperature
of most foods.
• When boiling water for tea or
coffee, heat only amount needed.
It is not economical
to boil a
container full of water for one
or two cups.
Oven
Cooking
• Preheat oven
only when
necessm T. Most
foods will
cook
satisfactorily
without
preheating.
If you find preheating
is necessmT,
watch
the indicator
light and pm
food in oven
promptly
after the
light goes out.
• Always turn oven OFF before
removing food.
• During baking, avoid flequem
door openings. Keep door open as
short a time as possible when it is
opened.
• Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables,
and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish
casserole,
meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature
and in approximately
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.
