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

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,

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 .~reserves
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.

surface units only. 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 the surface unit.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop
surfaces surrounding surface units.

mixtures—
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.
