Installing
Your
Range
Your range, like many
other
house-
hold 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 recom-
mended
that
these simple and inex-
pensive instructions be followed.
The range should be installed on a
sheet
of
pl
ywood (or similar rna te-
rial) as follows:
When the floor
covering is terminated at the front
of
the range, the area
that
the range
will
re
st on should be built up with
pl
ywood to the same level
or
higher
than the floor covering. This will
then allow the range to be moved
for cleaning
or
servicing.
Leveling
the
Range
Le
ve
ling screws are located on each
corner
of
the base
of
the range. By
removing the
bottom
drawer you
can level the range to
an
uneven
floor with the use of a nutdriver.
To
remove drawer, pull drawer
out
all the
wa
y, tilt up the
front
and
remove it.
To
replace, insert glides
at back
of
drawer beyond stop on
range glide
s.
Lift drawer if neces-
sary to insert easily. Let front
of
drawer down, then push in to clo
se
.

Tips
Surface Cooking
• Use cooking utensils
of
medium
weight aluminum, tight-fitting
covers, and flat bottoms which
completely cover the heated por-
tion
of
the surface unit.
•
Cook
fresh 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
...
HIGH
-
to
start cooking
(if time allows,
do
not use
HIGH
heat to start),
MEDIUM
HI-
quick brownings,
MEDIUM
-
slow frying, LOW- finish cooking
most quantities, simmer- double
boiler heat, finish cooking, and
special for small quantities.
• When boiling water for tea
or
coffee, heat only the
amount
needed. It
is
not economical to
boil a container full
of
water for
only one
or
two cups.

Oven Cooking
• Preheat the oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If
you find preheating
is
neces-
sary, watch the indicator light,
and
put food in the oven
promptly after the light goes out.
• Always
turn
oven
OFF
before
removing food .
• During baking, avoid frequent
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 tem-
perature and in approximately
the same time.
• Use residual heat in oven when-
ever possible to finish cooking
casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also
add rolls
or
precooked desserts
to warm oven, using residual
heat to warm them.
