USING THE SURFACE BURNERS
Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend beyondthe edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not cooking,Failure to follow these instructions canresult in death or fire.
i¸ _,_ ....._ _ _ _
Your range comes with electric ignitors that lightthe burners each time you turn the control knobsto LITE.
• Place a filled pan on the burner grate beforeturning on the surface burner. Do not operate aburner for extended periods of time withouthaving cookware on the grate.
• Push in the control knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the LITEposition. The clickingsound is the ignitorsparking. Make surethe burner has lit.
• Stop the clickingsound after the burnerlights by turning thecontrol knob anywherebetween HI and LO.
NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the sametime. However, the burner with the control knobturned to LITE is the one that will ignite.
I REMEMBER: When range is in use or during I
I
the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area Imay become hot.
Use the following chart as a guide.
LITE • To light the burner.
Power Burner • To provide highest heat(left front burner) setting.(right front burner onmodels 665.75812,665.75814)
HI • To start food cooking.• To bring liquid to a boil.
Mid-range • To hold a boil.(between HI and • To fry chicken or pancakes.LO) • To cook gravy, pudding, or
icing.• To cook large amounts of
vegetables.
LO • To keep food warm.• To simmer.
: SURESlMMER TM • To provide lowestsetting simmer/heat setting.(right rear burner) • To melt chocolate or butter.
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookwarewhich has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. Thecookware could overheat, causing damage to thecookware or cooking product.
_;. _ _ ii _ "¸ _ !
The left front burner is designed to give ultra-highpower when it is fully on. It can be used to rapidlybring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities offood. On models 665.75812 and 665.75814 bothfront burners are Power Burners.
The right rear SURESIMMER burner is designed forlow temperature cooking. It allows accurate simmercontrol at the lowest setting.
• To help shorten your cooking time, use the leastamount of liquid possible.
• Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turnthe control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

You can manually light surface burners. Hold a litmatch near a burner and turn the control knob tothe LITE position. After the burner lights, turn thecontrol knob to the setting you want.
The large diameter of most water-bath or pressurecanners combined with high heat settings for longperiods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:• Center the canner over the surface burner. Do
not extend more than 1 inch outside the burnerarea.
• Do not place your canner on two surface burnersat the same time.
• Start with hot water, cover with a lid and bring toa boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil orrequired pressure levels in a pressure canner.
• Refer to your canner manual for specificinstructions.
For up-to-date information on canning, contact yourlocal U.S. Government Agricultural DepartmentExtension Office or companies who manufacturehome canning products.
• The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,and a well-fitting lid.
• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)cookware.
• The pan material (metal or glass) affects howquickly and evenly the pan heats.
• When using glass or ceramic cookware, check tomake sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.
• To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans arecentered on the grates.
CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALSThe pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and howevenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.• Use for all types of cooking.• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Cast iron • Heats slowly and e,_enly.• Good for browning and frying.• Maintains heat for slow cooking.• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
Ceramic or • Heats slowly and unevenly.ceramic glass • Use on low to medium settings.
• Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by themarfufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or • See cast iron and stainless steel.enamel-on-cast iron
Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides
even heating.• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

USING THE OVEN
Place the racks where you need them beforeturning on the oven.
• To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position,raise the front edge and lift it out.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your handsif rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.
• For best performance, cook on one rack. Placethe rack so the top of the food will be centered inthe oven.
• When cooking with two racks, arrange the rackson the 2rid and 4th rack guides. Two sheets ofcookies may be baked if sheets are switched atapproximately three quarters of the total baketime. Increase baking time, if necessary.
• For best results, allow 2 inches of space aroundeach pan and between pans and oven walls. Hotair must circulate around the pans in the oven foreven heat to reach all parts of the oven. Thisresults in better baking.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE PLACE
1 pan In center of the oven rack.
2 pans Side by side or slightlystaggered.
3 or 4 pans In opposite corners oneach oven rack. Staggerpans so no pan is directlyover another.

are designed to drain extra juices from thecooking surface. This drainage helps preventspatter and smoke.
• To make sure the juices drain well, do not coverthe grid with foil.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the faton the edges to prevent curling.
• Use tongs to turn meat to avoid losing juices.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turningor removing food.
• After broiling, remove the pan from the ovenwhen removing the food. Drippings will bake onthe pan if left in the heated oven, makingcleaning more difficult.

Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhalingdangerous fumes.
BEFORE YOU START
NOTES:
• Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen wellventilated by opening a window or by turning ona vent hood or other kitchen vent during thecycle.
• DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket. Youmay get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
• The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, makesure you:
• Hand-clean the areas shown, They do not gethot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle forsoil to burn away. Use hot water and detergentor a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.
• Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots ondoor and frame.
• Remove the broiler pan and grid and anycookware/bakeware being stored in the oven.
• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will helpreduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
• Wipe up food spills containing sugar and/or milkas soon as possible after the oven cools down.When sugar is heated to a high temperature inthe Self-Cleaning cycle, the high temperaturecan cause the sugar to burn and react with theporcelain. This can cause staining and etching orpitting.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if you wantthem to remain shiny. You can clean the ovenracks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they willbecome harder to slide. (See the "Cleaning chart"in the "Caring for Your Range" section, p. 31.) Ifyou clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Theguides are counted from bottom to top,)

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremelysensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result indeath to certain birds. Always move birds to anotherclosed and well ventilated room.
TIPS:• Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors,and smoke.
Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer andresults in more smoke than usual.
• Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaningcycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.
• Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. Theymay melt.
• Do not leave any foil in the oven during theSelf-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt anddamage the oven surface.
26
HOW THE CYCLE WORKS
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses temperatures muchhotter than normal oven use to break up and burnaway soil and grease. The clean time is preset at3_½hours, however you can adjust the time.Suggested cleaning times are 2½ hours for lightsoil and 3V2-4½for average to heavy soil. The door
must be closed completely for it to lock and thecycle to begin. If properly closed, the door will lockapproximately 6 seconds after START/ENTER ispressed. The cycle time includes an approximate 30minute cool down time. To see the time of day duringthe cycle, press CLOCK for 5 seconds.
