heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from
touching hot surfaces of the
door or oven walls.
● When using cooking or
roasting bags in oven, follow
the manufacturer’s directions.
sDo not use your oven to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they
can catch fire.
Surface Cooking Units
Use proper pan size—This
Q
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.
s 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 rninirnizethe 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.
QAlways turn surface unit to‘“OFF before removing
cookware.
● Keep an eye on foods being
fried at HI or MED HI heats.
● Toavoid the possibility of a
burn or electric shock,always
be certain that the controls for
all surface units are at OFF
position and all coils are cool
before attempting to lift or
remove the unit.
. Don’t immerse or soak
removable surface units. Don’t
put them in a dishwasher.
● When flaming foods are
under the hood, turn the fan
off. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flame.
. Foods for frying should be as
dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up‘:W
and over sides of pan.
● Use little fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying.
Filling the pan too full of fat
can cause spillovers when food
is added.
. If a combination of oils or
fats will be used in frying, stir
together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
● Always heat fat slowly, and
watch as it heats.
cUse deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.

Installing Your
Energy-Saving Tips
~Range
Your range, like many other
household items, is heavy and can
settle into soft floor coverings such
as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
When moving the range on this
type of flooring, use care, and it
is recommended that these simple
and inexpensive instructions
be followed.
The range should be installed on
a l/4-inch-thick sheet of plywood
(or similar material) as follows:
When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range, the area
that the range will rest on should
be built up with plywood to the
same level or higher than the
floor covering. This will allow
the range to be moved for
cleaning or servicing. For
complete information, see
the Installation Instructions in
the back of this book.
Leveling the Range
(on models so equipped)
Leveling screws are located on
each corner of the base of the
range. Remove the bottom drawer
(on models so equipped) and you
can level the range on an uneven
floor with the use of a nutdriver.
removedrawer,pulldrawer
To
outall the way,tilt
i
and take it out. To replace
drawer, insert glides at back of
drawer beyond stop on range
glides.
Lift drawer if necessary to insert
easily. Let front of drawer down,
then push in to close.
One of the rear leveling screws
will engage the Anti-Tip device
(allow for some side to side
adjustment). Allow a minimum
clearance of 1/8 inch between the
range and the leveling screw that
‘~is to be installed into the Anti-Tip
~devi~ea

—
Surface Cooking
● Use cookware of medium weight
aluminum, with tight-fitting
covers, and flat bottoms whichcompletely cover the heated
portion of the surface unit.
. Cook fresh vegetables with a
minimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
● Watch foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at
high heat. When food reaches
cooking temperature, reduce heat
immediately to lowest setting that
will keep it cooking.
● Use residual heat with surface
cooking whenever possible. For
example, when cooking eggs in the
shell, bring water and eggs to boil,
then turn to OFF position and cover
with lid to complete the cooking.
Oven Cooking
. Preheat oven only when
necessary, Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary,
watch the indicator light, and put
food in oven promptly after the
light goes out.
. Always turn oven off before
removing food.
● During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open
as short a time as possible if it
is opened.
. Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables, and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature and in approximately
the same time.
cUse residual heat in the oven
whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them,

Surface Cooking with
Infinite Heat Controls
At both OFF and HIGH positions,
there is a slight niche so control
“clicks” at those positions; “click”
on HIGH marks the highest setting;
the lowest setting is between the
words MEDIUM LO and LO. 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. (Knob appearance varies.)
Step 2: Turn either clockwise or
counterclockwise 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 maybe 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
..
J“\
“r
preserves on my surface unit?
0
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 bums
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.
.
Q. Can I use special cooking
equipment, like an oriental wok,
on any surface unit?
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 from my units even
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?
A. Because the surface unit is not
flat. Make sure that the “feet” on
your Calrod@units are sitting
tightly in the range top indentation
and the reflector ring is flat on the
range surface.
Q. Why is the porcelain finish on
my cookware coming otT?
A. If you set your Calrod@unit
higher than required for the
cookware material, and leave it,
the finish may smoke, crack, pop,
or bum depending on the pot or
pan. Also, a too high heat for long
periods and cooking small amounts
of dry food may damage the finish.

Home Canning Tips
b“
Canning should be done on
surface units only.
Pots that extend beyond one inch
of cooking element’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 units.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE
LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS
OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER
POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING
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 boil water.
FOODS OTHER THAN WATER.
Most syrup or sauce mixtures—
.
and all types of frying— cook at
temperatures much higher than
RIGHTWRONG
boiling water. Such temperatures
could eventually harm cooktop
surfaces surrounding surface units.
ym.
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.

Using Your Oven
Before Using YourOven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you
understandhow to set them properly.
Read over the directions for the
Automatic Oven Timer so you
understand its use with the controls.
2. Check oven interior. Look at
the shelves. Take a practicerun at
removingand~placing themproperly,
to give sure,sturdy support.
3. Read over information and tips
that follow.
4. Keep this book handy so you can
refer to it, especially during the
first weeks of getting acquainted
with your oven.
Oven Controls
The controls for the oven(s) are
marked OVEN SET and OVEN
TEMP. OVEN SET has settings for
BAKE, TIME BAKE (on models so
equipped), BROIL and OFF. When
you turn the knob to the desired
setting, the proper heating units are
then activated for that operation.
OVEN TEMP maintains the
temperature you set, from WARM
(150”F) to BROIL (550°F).
The Oven Cycling Light glows
until the oven reaches your selected
temperature,then goes off and on
with the oven unit(s)during cooking.
PREHEA~Gthe oven,even to
hightemperaturesettings,is speedy,
rarelymorethan about 10minutes.
Preheattheovenonly whennecessary.
Mostfoods willcook satisfactorily
withoutpreheating.Ifyou find
preheatingis necessary,keepan eye
on the indicator light and put food
in the oven promptly after light
goes out.
Oven Interior Shelves
The shelves are designed with
stop-locks, so that when placed
correctly on the shelf supports,
they (a) will stbp before coming
completely from the oven, and (b)
will not tilt when removing food
from or placing food on them.
TO REMOVE THE SHELVES
from the oven pull the shelf toward
you, tilt front ~nd upward and pull
the shelf out.
TO REPLACE, place the shelf on
shelf support with stop-locks
(curved extension of shelf) facing
up and toward the rear of the oven.
Tilt up front and push shelf toward
the back of the oven until it goes
past “stop” on the oven wall. Then
lower the front of the shelf and
push it all the way back.
—r————nII

The oven has four shelf supports
marked A (bottom), B, C and D
(top). Shelf positions for cooking
food are suggested on Baking,
Roasting and Broiling pages.
Oven Light
(on models so equipped)
The light comes on automatically
when the door is opened.
On models with oven window, use
switch to turn light on and off
when door is closed. The switch is
located on the front of the door on
some models. On other models,
you’ll find it on the control panel.

Baking
When cooking a food for the first
time in your new oven, use time
given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years,
may “drift” from the factory
setting and a difference in timing
between an old and a new oven of
5 to 10 minutes is not unusual. You
may be inclined to think that the
new oven is not performing
correctly. However, your new oven
has been set correctly at the factory
and is more apt to be accurate than
the oven it replaced.
How to Set YourRange
for Baking
Step 1: Place food in oven, being
certain to leave about 1 inch of
space between pans and walls of
oven for good circulation of heat.
Close oven door. During baking,
avoid frequent door openings to
prevent undesirable results.
How to Set Immediate
Start and Automatic Stop
NOTE: Before beginning, make
sure the hands of the range clock
show the correct time of day.
Immediate Start is simply setting
oven to start baking now and turn
off at a later time automatically.
Remember, foods continue
cooking after controls are off.
Step 1: To set Stop Time, push in
knob on STOP TIME dial and turn
pointer to time you want oven to
turn off, for example 6:00. The
DELAY START dial should be at
the same position as the time of
day on clock.
Step 1: To set start time, push in
knob on DELAY START dial and
turn pointer to time you want oven
to turn on, for example 3:30.
Step 2: To set Stop Time, push in
knob on STOP TIME dial and turn
pointer to time you want oven to
turn off, for example 6:00. This
means your recipe called for two
and one-half hours of baking time.
NOTE: Time on STOP TIME dial
must be later than time shown on
range clock and DELAY START
dial.
Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to
BAKE and OVEN TEMP knob to
temperature on recipe or on
Baking Guide.
Step 3: Check food for doneness
at minimum time on recipe. Cook
longer if necessary. Switch off heat
and remove foods.
How to Time Bake
(on models with this feature)
The automatic oven timer controls
are designed to turn the oven on
or off automatically at specific
times that you set.
14
Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to
TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP
knob to oven temperature, for
example 250”F. The oven will start
immediately and will stop at the
time you have set.
How to Set Delay Start
and Stop
Delay Start and Stop is setting the
oven timer to turn the oven on and
off automatically at a later time
than the present time of day.
Step 3: Turn OVEN SET knob to
TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP
knob to 250”F. or recommended
temperature.
Place food in oven, close the door
and automatically the oven will be
turned on and off at the times you
have set. Turn OVEN SET to OFF
and remove food from oven.
OVEN INDICATOR LIGHT(s) at
TIME BAKE setting may work
differently than they do at BAKE
setting. Carefully recheck the steps
given above. If all operations are
done as explained, oven will
operate as it should.

quickly. For most conventional
baking, light, shiny finishes
generally give best results because
they help prevent overbrowning.
For best browning results, we

Roasting
Roasting is cooking by dry heat.
Tender meat or poultry can be
roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which
should be low and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum. When
roasting, it is not necessary to
sear, baste, cover or add water to
your meat.
Roasting is really a baking
procedure used for meats.
Therefore, oven controls are set to
BAKE or TIME BAKE. (You may
hear a slight clicking sound,
indicating the oven is working
properly.) Roasting is easy; just
follow these steps:
Step 1: Check weight of meat, and
place, fat-side-up, on roasting rack
in a shallow pan. (Broiler pan with
rack is a good pan for this.) Line
broiler pan with aluminum foil
when using pan for marinating,
cooking with fruits, cooking
heavily cured meats, or for basting
food during cooking. Avoid
spilling these materials on oven
liner or door.
Step 2: Position in oven on shelf
in A or B position. No preheating
is necessary.
Step 4: Most meats continue to
cook slightly while standing, after
being removed from the oven.
Standing time recommended for
roasts is 10to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes
them easier to carve. Internal
temperature will rise about 5° to
10”F.;to compensate for
temperature rise, if desired,
remove roast from oven sooner (at
5° to 10“F.less than temperature in
the guide).
NOTE: Youmay wish to use TIME
BAKE, as described in the Baking
section of this book, to turn oven
on and off automatically.
Remember that food will continue
to cook in the hot oven and
therefore should be removed when
the desired internal temperature
has been reached.
Frozen Roasts
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb,
s
etc., can be started without
thawing, but allow 10 to 25
minutes per pound additional time
(10 minutes per pound for roasts
under 5 pounds, more time for
larger roasts).
● Thaw most frozen poultry before
roasting to ensure even doneness.
Some commercial frozen poultry
can be cooked successfully without
thawing. Follow directions given
on package label.
Questions and Answers
Q. Is it necessmy to check for“
doneness with a meat thermometer?
A. Checking the finished internal
temperature at the completion of
cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown in
Roasting Guide on opposite page.
For roasts over 8 lbs., cooked at
300”F. with reduced time, check
with thermometer at half-hour
intervals after half the time has
passed.
Q. Why is my roast crumbling
when I try to carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if
allowed to cool 10 to 20 minutes
after removing from oven. Be sure
to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven
each time I cook a roast or
poultry?
A. It is rarely necessary to preheat
your oven, only for very small
roasts, which cook a short length
of time.
Q. When buying a roast, are
there any special tips that would
help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in
thickness as possible, or buy rolled
roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil
“tent” when roasting a turkey?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the
meat. Leaving it unsealed allows
the air to circulate and brown the
meat.

Broiling
Broiling is cooking food by intense
radiant heat from the upper unit in
the oven. Most fish and tender cuts
of meat can be broiled. Follow
these steps to keep spattering and
smoking to a minimum.
Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle
near edge, cut vertical slashes
through both about 2“ apart. If
desired, fat may be trimmed,
leaving layer about 1/8” thick.
Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack in
broiler pan. .Alwaysuse rack so fat
drips into broiler pan; otherwise
juices may become hot enough to
catch fire.
Step 3: Position shelf on
recommended shelf position as
suggested in Broiling Guide. Most
broiling is done on C position, but
if your range is connected to 208
Volts, you may wish to use a
higher position.
Step 4: Leave door ajar a few
inches (except when broiling
chicken). The door stays open by
itself, yet the proper temperature is
maintained in the oven.
Step 5: Turn both OVEN SET and
OVEN TEMP knob to BROIL.
Preheating units is not necessary.
(See notes in Broiling Guide.)
Step 6: Turn food only once
during broiling. Time foods for
first side per Broiling Guide.
Turn food, then use times given for
second side as a guide to preferred
doneness. (Where two thicknesses
and times are given together, use
first times given for thinnest food.)
Step 7: When finished broiling,
turn OVEN SET knob to OFF.
Serve food immediately, leaving
the broiler pan and rack outside
oven to cool during meal for
easiest cleaning.
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line
your broiler pan and broiler rack.
However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the rack and cut slits in
itjust like the rack.
Without the slits, the foil will
prevent fat and meat juices from
draining to the broiler pan. The
juices could become hot enough to
catch on fire. If you do not cut the
slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions & Answers~
Q. Why should I leave the door‘;;”
closed when broiling chicken?
A. Chicken is the only food
recommended for closed-door
broiling. This is because chicken is
relatively thicker than other foods
you broil. Closing the door holds
more heat in the oven which allows
chicken to cook evenly throughout.
Q. When broiling, is it necessary
to always use a rack in the pan?
A. Yes.
the meat over the pan. As the meat
cooks,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are
protected by the rack and stay
cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. Should I salt the meat before
broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices
and allows them to evaporate.
Always salt after cooking. Turn
meat with tongs; piercing meat
with a fork allows juices to escape.
When broiling poultry or fish,
brush each side often with butter.
Q. Why are my meats not turning
out as brown as they should?
A. In some areas, the power
(voltage) to the oven maybe low.
In these cases, preheat the broil
unit for 10 minutes before placing
broiler pan with food in oven.
Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil
for longest period of time indicated
in the Broiling Guide. Turn food
only once during broiling.
Q. Do I need to grease my
broiler rack to prevent meat
from sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed
to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping
the surface cool enough to prevent
meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler rack
lightly with a vegetable cooking
spray before cooking will make
cleanup easier.
Using the rack suspends
the juicesfall into the pan,

Care and Cleaning (s& Cleaning Guide)
Proper care and cleaning are
important so your range will give
you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions
carefully in caring for your range
to assure safe and proper
maintenance.
Cooktop
The porcelain enamel cooktop is
sturdy but breakable if misused.
This finish is acid-resistant.
However, any acidic foods spilled
(such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish..
Cleaning Under the Range
The area under the range of models
equipped with a bottom drawer can
be reached easily for cleaning by
removing the bottom drawer. To
remove, pull drawer out all the
way, tilt up the front and remove it,
To replace, insert glides at back of
drawer beyond stop on range
glides. Lift drawer if necessary to
insert easily. Let front of drawer
down, then push in to close.
Removable Oven Door
To REMOVE door, open to BROIL
position, or where you feel hinge
catch slightly. Grasp door at sides;
lift door up and away from hinges.
To REPLACE, grasp door at sides.
Line up door with hinges and push
door firmly into place.
Oven Vent Duct
Yourrange is vented through a
duct located under the right rear
surface unit. Clean the duct often.
To remove:
● Make sure unit is cool.
. Lift up right rear surface unit.
● Remove trim ring/drip pan.
● Lift out oven vent duct,
To replace:
● Place the part over the oven vent
located below the cooktop with
opening of the duct under the
round opening in the drip pan. It is
important that the duct is in the
correct position so moisture and
vapors from the oven can be
released during oven use. NOTE:
Never cover the hole in the oven
vent duct with aluminum foil or
any other material. This prevents
the oven vent from working
properly during any cooking cycle.
Lamp Replacement
(on models so equipped)
CAUTION: Before replacing
your oven lamp bulb, disconnect
the electric power for your range

place. When in place, wire holds
cover firmly. Be certain wire bail
is in depression in center of cover.
● Connect electric power to range.
Surface Units
Clean the area under the drip pans
often. Built-up soil, especially
grease, may catch fire. To make
cleaning easier, tilt-lock units lift
up and lock in the up position, and
plug-in units are removable.
Caution: Be sure all controls are
turned to OFF and surface units
are cool before attemptingto lift
or remove them.
After lifting the tilt-lock units or
removing plug-in units, remove the
trim rings/drip pans under the units
and clean them according to
directions in the Cleaning Guide.
Wipe around the edges of the
surface unit openings. Clean the
area below the units. Rinse all
washed areas with a damp cloth or
sponge.

You can lift a tilt-lock unit upward
about 6 inches and it will lock in
the up position.
To reposition the tilt-lock unit:
c Replace the drip panhim ring
into the recess in the cooktop.
● If you have a separate trim ring,
put it in place over the drip pan.
The drip pan must be under the
trim ring.
. Guide the surface unit into place
so it rests evenly.
Plug-In Units
(On models so equipped)
Plug-in units can be removed.
Lift a plug-in unit about 1 inch
above the trim ring-justenough
to grasp it—and pull it out.
Do not lift a plug-in unit more
than 1 inch. If you do, it may not
lie flat on the trim ring when YOU
plug it back in.~ --
Repeated lifting of the plug-in
unit more than 1 inch above the
trim ring can permanently
damage the receptacle.
To replace a plug-in unit:
. Replace the drip pan into the
recess in the cooktop. Make sure
opening in pan lines up with
receptacle. If you have separate
trim ring, put it in place over the
drip pan. The drip pan must be

AdjustingOven Thermostat
Use the time given in your recipe
when using the oven for the first
time. Oven thermostats, in time,
may “drift” from the factory
setting and differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of
5 to 10 minutes are not unusual.
Your oven has been set correctly at
the factory and is more likely to be
accurate than the oven which it
replaced. However, if you find that
your foods consistently brown too
little or too much, you may make a
simple adjustment ‘inthe -
thermostat (Oven Temp) knob.
To adjust the thermostat knob:
1. Pull the knob off the shaft, look
at the back of the knob and note
the current setting before making
any adjustments.
2. Loosen both screws on the back
of the knob.
3. If the oven temperatureseems
too hot, move the top screw toward
the word HOTTER. [f the
temperature seems too cool, move
the screw toward the word
COLDER. Each notch changes the
temperature by about 8 degrees
Fahrenheit.
4. Tighten the screws.
5. Replace the knob, matching the
flat area of the knob to the shaft.

Continuous-CleaningOven Care
Do not attempt to clean the oven until you have read this section.
The top, bottom, sides and back of
the oven liner and door inner liner
are finished with a special coating
which cannot be cleaned in the
usual manner with soap,
detergents, commercial oven
cleaners, coarse abrasive pads or
coarse brushes. Use of such
cleaners and/or the use of oven
sprays will cause permanent
damage.
The special coating is a porousceramic material which is dark in
color and feels slightly rough to
the touch. If magnified, the surface
would appear as peaks, valleys and
sub-surface “tunnels.” This rough
finish tends to prevent grease
spatters from forming little beads
or droplets, which run down the
side walls of a hard-surface oven
liner leaving unsightly streaks that
require hand cleaning. Instead,
when spatter hits the porousfinish,
it is dispersed and is partially
absorbed. This dispersal action
increoses the exposure of oven soil
to heated air. which results in
oxidation of soil. This finish also
reducesthe visual effect of residual
soil. [t may not disappear
completelyand at some time after
extendedusage,stains may appear.
special coaling works best on
The
small amounts of spatter. It does
not work well with larger spills.
especially sugars. egg or dairy
mixtures. For this reason, the oven
is equipped with a removable,
replaceable aluminum foil oven
bottom liner which protects the
porous jinislz on the bottom of the
oven from spillovers. Avoid spills
on inside surface of the oven door.
This special finish is not used on
oven shelves. Shelves are
removable and can be taken to
the sink for cleaning. See
Cleaning Guide in this book for
cleaning directions.
{
To Clean Oven:
Use the following steps when
cleaning your Continuous-Clean
Oven.
1. Let range parts cool before
handling. It is recommendedthat
rubber gloves be worn when
cleaning range parts manually.
2. Remove all cookware, including
the broiler pan and rack.
3. Remove oven shelves and clean
them manually with scouring pads
or mild abrasive.
4. Remove excess spills and
boilovers from aluminum foil oven
bottom liner before removing liner
from oven. This is to prevent
excess liquids from spilling onto
the porous finish. Then remove
aluminum foil bottom liner and
clean manually. (Before cleaning
or removing the aluminum foil
liner, lift bake unit out of the way. )
5.Clean oven window. Use mild
non-scratchingcleanser and damp
cloth. Avoid spilling water or
cleaner on porous surface.
6. Soil visibility may be reduced
by operating oven at 400°F. Close
door, set oven temperature control
to 400°F. Time for at least 4 hours.
Repeated cycles may be necessary
before improvementin appearance
is apparent, particularly on oven
door. For moderate to heavy
soiling of oven door, use method
described in item (7) below before
running 400°F. cycle. The oven
timer can be used to control the
cycle automaticallyat a time
convenient for you. Some slight
smoking may occur, similar to that
which may occur during Time
Bake cooking.
