how to use your oven
OVEN COOKING
HOW THE OVEN WORKS
The air within the oven is heated by a bake eiement
(oven bottom) and/or a broil element {oven top). The
bake element will heat when the oven selector is turned
to BAKE The broil element will heat when the selector
is turned to BROIL
The heated air moves around the oven heating the pans
and cooking the food within For even cooking or brown­
ing, each pan needs enough space on all sides to allow
tho the free movement of heated air throughout the
oven. Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to
oven bottom will not allow the free movement of air im
proper air movement will cause uneven browning and
cooking

oven signal light will glow when the oven is in use. turn­
ing off and on to indicate that the selected temperature

TIMED OPERATION
Your range is equipped with a Kenmore ' Delay Start,
Cook and Oft" oven This modern feature allows you to
prepare a roast and let your oven do the cooking while
you attend to other things You can even leave your
home to run errands, confident your oven will cook the
roast just right Oven cooking, using this feature, is con­
trolled by the clock Prepare your food as you would nor­
mally and place in the oven Set the controls and let
your oven do the rest. The oven will come on at the
selected start time, heat to the selected termperature
and maintain that temperature until the selected stop
time has been reached The oven will then turn off
ENERGY CONSERVING TIPS
1. Turn off all controls when cooking is complete
unless holding foods at a "keep warm“ setting
2 Keep oven door closed when using oven This
prevents heat loss and lowers energy use Turn on
your oven light and use the VISI-BAKE‘ window
for viewing food
3. Plan meal menus in advance Take advantage of
available oven heat by cooking two foods at the
same time
4, Thaw frozen foods before cooking whenever
possible
