full open on LP gas. The oven burner air shutter adjustment is the same on ranges with a
gas pilot or electric ignition.
OPERATION OF RANGE
Using Your Range
The range may have only part of the features described within this manual. If your range
has some features which are not covered in this manual, these features will be covered in
other enclosed literature.
Top Burner Operation
Note: When boiling food, the highest temperature that can be reached is the boiling point.
When the liquid starts to boil, decrease the size of the flame until you reach the minimum
flame that will hold the boil. This will save gas. It will also lessen the possibility of burning
food or boiling food over, and help to keep your kitchen cooler. Use stable utensils with
flat bottoms and always place the utensil on the burner grate before lighting the burner.
Unstable or rounded bottom utensils will not contact properly with the grate and will
affect the cooking efficiency. Select utensils large enough to avoid spillovers, but
remember, over-sized utensils (diameters exceeding 8 1/2'') can cause the range finish to
discolor, craze or chip. Damage caused by oversized utensils, such as those sometimes
used in canning, are not covered by the warranty. The finish has been manufactured to a
commercially acceptable standard and its condition is dependent upon the care of the
user.
Top Burner Valves
The top burner flame size should be adjusted so that is does not extend beyond the edge
of the cooking utensil. As a matter of safety, it's urged that you comply with these
instructions.
A high flame on a surface burner is both inefficient and unsafe. The flame should always
be adjusted so that it is no larger than the bottom of the pan. Fluctuations in flame size
could be caused by pressure variations, improperly positioned burners, damage or debris.
Preheating
Heat the oven to the desired temperature before placing the food in the oven. Preheat for
10 to 12 minutes.
