OPERATION
NOTICE
During the first few hours of operation you may notice a small amount of
smoke coming off the range, or out of the oven, and a faint odor from the
smoke. This is normal for a new range and will disappear after the first few
hours of use.
OVEN
The range oven must be thoroughly, preheated before satisfactory baking can be done. The range
oven will not bake uniformly if not sufficiently preheated.
To compensate for temperature drop when loading the range oven, set the thermostat up 50
degrees over the desired temperature. Reset thermostat after the range is loaded.
The range oven may, of course, be preheated with the 3 heat switches set at a lower position than
"High", but the time required will be proportionally longer. After preheating, set the two 3 heat
switches for proper ratio of "top" and "bottom" heat to suit the product to be baked or roasted.
The 12" high "Roasting and Baking" range oven is equipped with a removable rack. For baking
pies, bread, or for roasting operations, the rack may be placed directly on the metal deck and the
pans placed on the rack. For baking cakes or pastries the rack should be located in the lower
position provided by the rack supports at the sides of the range and the pans placed on the rack in
this lower position.
The following temperature, time, switch setting and rack positions are suggested as a guide in
