Instilling
Your Range

Your range, 

like many other

household items, is heavy and
can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or
carpeting. When 

 the range

on this type of flooring. use care.
We recommend that you follow
these 

 and inexpensive

instructions.

The range should be installed on
a sheet of plywood (or similar
material) as follows:  When the

 covering ends at the front of

the range,  the area that the range
will rest on should be built up with

plywood to the same 

 or higher

than the floor covering. This 

 the range to be moved for

cleaning or servicing.

Leveling screws are located on

each corner of the base of the
range. Remove the bottom drawer
and you can level the range on
an uneven floor with the use of
a 

 or by using pliers on

the hex flats of the leg.

To 

remove drawer, pull drawer

out all the way, tilt up the front
and take it out. To replace
drawer, insert glides at back of
drawer beyond stop on range glides.

Lift drawer if necessary to insert

easily. Let front of drawer down,
then push into close.

One of the rear leveling screws
will engage the ANTI-TIP bracket
(allow for some side to side
adjustment). Allow a minimum
clearance of 1/8” between the range
and the leveling screw that is to be
installed into the ANTI-TIP bracket.

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 fresh vegetables with a

minimum amount of water in a
covered pan.

. Watch foods when bringing them

 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 and eggs to boil,
then turn to OFF position and cover
with lid 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 browning.

MEDIUM—slow frying.

LOW—finish cooking most
quantities, simmer—double boiler
heat, finish cooking, and special
for small quantities.

WARM—to maintain serving
temperature of most foods.

● 

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.

 Cooking

. 

Preheat griddle only when

necessary. Foods high in natural
fat, such as bacon or sausage, can
be started on a 

 griddle.

Grill Cooking

● 

Heat only half the grill when

cooking small amounts of food.
Use rear position for best results.

Oven Cooking

● 

Preheat oven only when

necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary,
watch the indicator light, and put
food in 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 if it is
opened.

● 

Be sure to wipe up excess spillage

before starting the self-cleaning
operation.

 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.

● 

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.
