Installing
. the Range
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 followed.
The range should be installed on
a l/4-inch thick sheet of plywood
(or similar material) as follows:
When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range,
the area 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
Use a open end or adjustable
wrench to equally back out the four
legs. The flanges (rims) below the
sides of the maintop must be raised
above the top of the counter.
Carefully slide the range into its
installation space. Observe that it is
clearing the countertop. Then place
a spirit level or a glass measuring
cup partially filled with water on
one of the oven shelves to check for
levelness. If using a spirit level,
take two readings, with the level
placed diagonally first in one
direction and then the other.
Adjust the four legs carefully. You
will need to remove the grease jars
to adjust the rear legs. The range
legs should rest on the floor. The
range must not hang from the
counter.
Energy-SavingTips
Surface Cooking
●
Use cookware of medium weight
aluminum, with tight-fitting covers
and flat bottoms which completely
cover the heated portion of the
element.
●
Cook fresh vegetables, with a
minimum amount of water, in a
covered pan.
●
Watch foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at
HI and MED HI heat settings.
When food reaches its 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 the
shell, bring water and eggs to a
boil, then turn setting to OFF
position and cover with a lid to
complete the cooking.
MED
LO
. Use correct heat settings for the
cooking task:
HI—to start cooking (if time
allows, do not use HI heat setting
to start).
MED HI—quick browning.
MED—s1ow frying.
MED LO—to finish cooking (most
quantities), simmer, double boiler
heat.
LO—to maintain serving
temperature of most foods.
Griddle Cooking
●
Preheat the griddle only when
necessary. Foods high in natural
fat, such as bacon or sausage, can
be started on a cold griddle.
Grill Cooking
.
Heat ordy half the grill when
cooking small amounts of food.
Use rear position for best results.
Oven Cooking
●
Preheat the oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating
the oven. If you find preheating is
necessary, put the food in the oven
promptly when the tone sounds to
indicate the cooking temperature
is achieved.
●
Always turn the oven off before
removing food.
●
During baking, avoid frequent
door openings or keep the door
open as short a time as possible
if it is opened.
●
Be sure to wipe up excess
spillage before starting the
cleaning operation.
●
Use residual heat in the oven
whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also, add rolls or precooked
desserts to the warm oven, using
the residual heat to warm them.
●
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.
. 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.
