  • Page 13: Before Using Your Oven

    Read the information and tips on the following pages. Keep this guide handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range. Electric Ignition The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by electric ignition.
  • Page 14: Oven Vents

    Oven Vents The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop. See the Features section. Do not block these openings when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.
  • Page 15: Oven Shelves

    How to Set Your Range for Baking To avoid possible burns, place shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.
  • Page 16: Pan Placement

    Pan Placement For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.
  • Page 17 Don’t Peek Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as “bake 30-40 minutes.” How to Time Bake Do not lock the oven door with the latch during Timed Baking.

  • Page 19 You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide. If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

  • Page 21 Questions and Answers Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer? Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at half- hour intervals after half the time has passed.

It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan. For steaks and chops, slash the fat evenly around the outside edges of the meat.
