● When using cooking or
roasting bags in oven,
follow
the manufacturer’s directions.
● Do not use your oven to dry
newspapers. If overheated,
they can catch fire.
Do not use oven for a storage
area. Items stored in an oven
can ignite.
Self-Cleaning Oven
● Do not clean door gasket.
The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
● Do not use oven cleaners. No
commercial oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of
any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
● Clean only parts listed in
this Use and Care Book.
● Before self-cleaning the
oven, remove broiler pan and
other cookware.
Surface Cooking Units
●
Use proper pan
size—
This
appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of
different size. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of
undersized cookware will
expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and
may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner will also
improve efficiency.
. Never leave surface units
unattended at high heat
settings.
Boilover
causes
smoking and greasy spillovers
that may catch on fire.
● Be sure drip pans and vent
ducts are not covered and are
in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range
parts and wiring.
●
Don’t use aluminum foil to
line drip pans
or anywhere in
the oven except as described in
this book. Misuse could result
in a shock, fire hazard or
damage to the range.
●
Only
certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed containers are
suitable for range-top service;
others may break because of the
sudden change in temperature.
(See section on “Surface
Cooking” for suggestions.)
● To minimize the possibility
of burns,
ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage, the
handle of a container should be
turned toward the center of the
range without extending over
nearby surface units.
● Always turn surface

Surface Cooking
See Surface Cooking Guide.
Surface Cooking with
Infinite Heat Controls
Your surface units and controls are
designed to give you an infinite
choice of heat settings for surface
unit cooking.
At both OFF and HI positions,
there is a slight niche so control
“clicks” at those positions; “click”
on HI marks the highest setting; the
lowest setting is between the words
LO and OFF. In a quiet kitchen
you may hear slight “clicking”
sounds during cooking, indicating
heat settings selected are being
maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings
always shows a quicker change
than switching to lower settings.
How to Set the Controls
Step 1
Grasp control knob and push in.
Step 2
Turn either clockwise or counter-
clockwise to desired heat setting.
Control must be pushed in to set
only from OFF position. When
control is in any position other
than OFF, it may be rotated
without pushing in.
Be sure you turn control to OFF
when you finish cooking. An
indicator light will glow when
ANY heat on any surface unit is on.

Questions & Answers
Q. May I can foods and

A. Yes, but only use cookware
designed for canning purposes.
Check the manufacturer’s
instructions and recipes for
preserving foods. Be sure canner
is flat-bottomed and fits over the
center of your Calrod ’< unit. Since
canning generates large amounts
of steam, be careful to avoid burns
from steam or heat. Canning should
only be done on surface units.
Q. Can I cover my drip pans
with foil?
A. No. Clean as recommended in
Cleaning Guide.
on my surface units?
Q. Can I use special cooking
equipment, like an oriental wok,
on any surface units?
A. Cookware without flat surfaces
is not recommended. The life of
your surface unit can be shortened
and the range top can be damaged
from the high heat needed for this
type of cooking.
Q. Why am I not getting the
heat I need
though I have the knobs on the
right setting?
A. After turning surface unit off
and making sure it is cool, check to
make sure that your plug-in units
are securely fastened into the
surface connection.

Q. Why does my cookware tilt
when I place it on the surface unit?

Pots that extend beyond 1 inch
of surface unit’s trim ring are not
recommended for most surface
cooking. However, when canning
with water-bath or pressure
canner, larger-diameter pots may
be used. This is because boiling
water temperatures (even under
pressure) are not harmful to
cooktop surfaces surrounding

Observe Following Points
in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the surface unit. If your
range or its location does not allow
the canner to be centered on the
surface unit, use smaller diameter
pots for good canning results.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be
used. Do not use canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because
they don’t make enough contact
with the surface unit and take too
long to boi
RIGHT
n
3. When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable sources.
Reliable recipes and procedures are
available from the manufacturer of
your canner; manufacturers of
glass
jars
for canning, such as Ball
and Kerr; and the United States
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a
process that generates large amounts
of steam. To avoid burns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your range is being
operated on low power (voltage),
canning may take longer than
expected, even though directions
have been carefully followed. The
process time will be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for
fastest heating of large quantities
of water.
