Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is

usually a very small percentage of the total

energy used in the home, cooking energy

can be used efficiently. Here are some tips

to help you save energy when using your

cooking product:

l

Use

pans with flat bottoms, straight sides

and tight-firing lids.

l

Match

the pan to the surface unit size.

l

Cook

with a minimum of liquid or fat to

help shorten cooking time.

l

Preheat

pans only when recommended

and for the shortest time possible.

l Start fcod on higher heat settings, then

set surface unit control on low or off to

finish cooking. Use retained heat for

cooking when possible.

l

Use

the more efficient surface units

instead of the oven when possible.

l Turn on the surface unit only after placing

filled pan on the unit.

l

“Oven peeking” may

cause heat loss,

longer cooking times and unsatisfactory

baking results. Rely on your timer to keep

track of the cooking time.

l

Bake

cakes, pies or cookies when oven is

warm. Best time to bake is right after a

meal has been cooked in oven.

l

Preheat

the oven no longer than neces-

SW.

l

Plan

your meals for the most efficient use

of the range. When using the oven to cook

one food, try to wok the rest of the meal in

it also.

l

Do not preheat

when broiling, roasting or

cooking items such as casseroles.

l Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat

reflection.

The oven vent

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven

through a vent under the right rear surface

unit. You can cook on the unit or keep food

warm on it while the oven is on. The vent is

needed for air circulation.

Do not block the

vent.

Poor baking/roasting can result.

NOTE:

Plastic utensils left over the vent can

melt.

Burn and Fire Hazard

l If you leave a utensil on the right rear

surface unit, use potholders when

moving it. Pan handles could become

hot enough to burn.

l Keep flammable materials away from

oven vent. Failure to do so could result

in burns or a fire.
