@ Do not use cwwl ck?aner% 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 utensils.

@ Listen for fan—-afan noise should be heard sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not, call for service before selfcleaning again.

Sutiaee cooking units: @ Use Proper Pan Sbx+—--This

appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different

size.Select utensils having fiat

bottoms large enough to cover

the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the

heating element to direct con-

tact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of

utensii to burner wiil also improve efficiency.

@ Never k?avesurface 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 %3 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. Q Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed containers are suitable for range-top service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature (SW Section on “Surface Choking” for suggestions.)

Surface Cooking—Your surface units and controls give you a choice of heat settings for cooking

on top of your range. Surface cook-

gives you the flexibility of frying,

ing

canning, and pressure cooking. Microwave Cooking—Food is

cooked with microwave energy fasterthan can be done conventionally. Microwave energy alone can be used for quick heating, quick

defrosting, and quick cooking. Baking—Food placed inside the

oven is cooked by hot, dry air. Pastries, including cookies and muffins, cook best with baking because crisp and crusty surfaces are desirable.

CombinationE?aking-Regular baking heat is used while microwave energy speeds up cooking time and retains the food’s moisture.

Roasting—A low and steady temperature cooks meat or poultry

derly and accurately.

rnbination Roasting—Recommended cooking techniques combine microwave energy with regular roasting heat for some or all of the roasting time. Some cooking time is saved, and the meat’s natural

juiciness and tenderness are

preserved. i3roiiing-Food is quick-cooked by

intense radiant heat from the upper unit of the oven. This

method produces foods that are brown on the outside but moist arid juicy on the inside, and usuaily require turning over.

Combinatim iBroiling-Microwaving is used along with broiling.

This function a!lows food to be cooked rapidly with broiled appearance. [t efficiently cooks frozen steaks,chops or poultry which often brown before the center is done.

@Use residual heat in oven when-

ever possible to finish cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven, using residual heat to warm them.

@Make sure al! utensils used in

your microwave oven are iabeled “suitable for microwaving”. Check your Cookbook for specific test

to determine

You must push the knob in only when it is set at OFF. This is to pre-

you from turning the knob on

vent accidentally. When the knob is in any other position, you can turn it without pushing it in. You will feel it

pop out when you turn it to OFF.

The lowest setting is between OFF and WM. At the HI setting you will feel the knob lightly click into place.

In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight “popping” sounds during cooking, indicating heat settings are being maintained.

ContainerTips

@Pots and pans should be flat on

the bottom and match the size of

the surface units. Large contain-

ers should be on large units and

small ones on small units.

@It is important pans fit the units

you are using. A pan that extends more than one inch beyond the edge of the trim ring traps heat which causes “crazing” (fine hair-line cracks) on

the porcelain and discoloration

ranging from blue to dark gray

of the trim rings.

@Containers of various materials

may require different heat settings and/or cooking time. Check the manufacturer’s instructions before using.

Step 1: Place unshelled eggs in a saucepan. Cover with cool water.

Step 2: Cover pan and place on the Ca!rod@ unit. Make sure the pan and unit are compatible in size.

Step 3: Turn your Calrod@unit on HI and bring eggs to the steaming point. When wisps of steam come from under the cover, turn to low or WM and time for about fifteen minutes.

Q. Can I use special cooking equipment, like an oriental wok, on my surface units? A. Containers without flat surfaces are 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. Can I cover my drip pans with foil? A. No. Clean as recommended in the Cleaning Chart.

Q. Why is the porcelaiil finish on my containers coming off? A. If you set your Calrodn un!ts higher than required for the container material, and leave it, the finish may smoke, crack, pop, or burn depending on the pot or pan. Also, too high of heat for long periods and small amounts of dry food may damage the finish.

Step 4: Turn off Calrod(Q’unit and remove saucepan from the top of the range.

Step 5: Plunge eggs into cold wa-

ter immediately to keep from further cooking and prevent yolks from discoloring.

Step 6: To shell, crack the she!! and roll the egg between the palms of your hand. This will loosen the skin from the egg and make shelling easier.

Most oven-to-tableware is labeled “suitable for microwave”. Use for casseroles, custards, egg dishes, vegetables, and quick heating of liquids.

“Microwave Safe” should appear on label before using or check with the manu-

facturer. The Cookbook describes tests to determine if different containers are

microwave safe. l-hese are acceptable for microwaving only, but must not be used when com-

bination cooking. Bacon cooks quickly since paper plates and towels absorb the grease. Paper towels used over foods will help absorb moisture and prevent

spatters. Microwave approved plastic wraps are used to hold in moisture and aid

in faster cooking results.

TV dinners and similar items can be microwaved successfully. Keep containers

at least 1“ from oven walls and door. See Cookbook for other suggested usages of foil on chicke;l, meats and fish.

Metal containers are riot recommended. For microwaving only, metal containers are very inefficient and better results are obtained by using one of the other mentioned materials. Metal containers can arc to oven shelf leaving slight burn

marks or pits on container and oven shelf.

Usefor special dishes to be served directly from the oven.

Q. Can I open the door to check the food during microwaving? A. Yes. Slide the Latch to OPEN and check food, then close the door arid slide the Latch back to MICROWAVE/CLEAN. After the Latch is secured, the Microwave Timer automatically resumes the time you originally set.

Are there certain foods that

should not be microwaved?

A. Yes. Eggs in the shell can burst. Other foods such as hot dogs, baked potatoes, apples, poultry giblets or eggs out of the shell need to be pierced to prevent bursting. See Cookbook for other foocls that need attention. (See “Safety Iristrwctions” on page 4,)

Q. Is it necessary to cover all foods durii~g microwaving? A. No, but covering foods is recommended in order to retain moisture in foods such as casseroles. Covering foods, like bacon, with paper towels will prevent spatter and absorb the moisti~re.

before using plastic containers. Many new TV dinners are packaged in paper trays which ailow for even micro-

waving. Cartons used for deli foods, sour cream, and other similar foods are ideal for freezing for short periods. Boxes containing frozen fish, meats, or other purchased frozen items, microwave well but usually need turning as specified in Cookbook.

Glass products promote even defrosting but are not well suited for freezing. Foods should be transferred to glass containers just before defrosting. Make

sure glass is “microwave-safe”. Shallow foil trays can be used for homemade dinners, but food that microwaves

well should be selected. Food in foil trays over 34” high should be removed from the trays for more even results. Keep at least 1“ from oven walls and door. Some TV dinners contain foods such as fries or breads that do not microwave well.

Those foods should be removed before defrosting. If aiuminum foil is used for freezing, remove before defrosting for best results.

Q. After checking on my chicken during” cooking time, i closed the door but microwaving didn’t begin. Why? A. Make sure the Latch is in the

MICROWAVE/CLEAN position after closing the door. Check the Microwave Timer to be sure there is time remaining. If it is on “O”, reset

t~ desired time. Q. Do most meats require a stand-

ing time after combination

roasting? A. Yes, for easier carving and serving, you may want to let meats stand. Most meat roasts continue cooking a few minutes while stand-

ing. Check specific recipes in the Cookbook.

Questions

ai’xilAnswers

Q. Are there any other ways to

maintain juiciness of meat? A. Follow directions in Cookbook for shelf positioning and time the meat carefully. Other tips such as the use of tongs to turn meat over

aregivenin your Cookbook.

0. 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 sticking of the meat to the surface.

Step 1: Cut off the extra fat from

ham slice and cut vertical slashes

about two inches apart in the re-

maining fat. This will keep the meat

from curling. Step 2: Center the ham slice on

the broiler rack in the broiler pan. Step 3: Position Oven Shelf on

“c”.

Step 4: Turn both the Oven Set and Oven Temp Knobs to BROIL. Both Oven indicator Lights come on. Place the pan with the ham slice inside the oven. Leave the oven door open about 3 inches.

Q. My range is being operated on low power (voltage). Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should? A. Preheat the broil unit for ten minutes with the food and broiler pan outside the oven. While broiling the food, turn only once but cook for the longest period of time indicated in your Cookbook.

hQ. Can I broil bakery goo s and pastries in my Combination Range? A. Yes. Position the Oven Shelf on “D”. For toast or toaster pastries, cook one side for lM to 2 minutes and the other side for about 30

seconds. For English muffins, split the muffin and cook for 3 to 4 min-

utes on one side only.

Step 5: Broil the top side of the ham until it is lightly browned (for

1/2” slice about 8 minutes, 11/2”

slice about 12 minutes). Then turn and broil the second side (for Vz” slice 4-5 minutes, for 1

Y2° slice

9-11 minutes). For a M-I” slice of ham, yQu need only to turn it once. For larger pieces of meat, check

your Cookbook for instructions. Step & When the ham slice is

done, turn off the oven and serve

immediately.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. No. Salt draws out the juices which would be evaporated in broiling. Always salt after broiling. Always turn with tongs because piercing meat with a fork allows

the juices to escape, As poultry

and fish broil, brush each sidq of-

ten with butter. Q. When broiling, is it necessary

to always use a rack in the pan? A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan thus keeping meat dryer. Juices which are protected by the rack stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter.

Q. Why did the Lock Light come on when 1 first set the oven for CLEAN?

A. Lock Light glowing indicates that oven is too hot. Turn Oven Set Knob to OFF and open Oven Door to cool the internal cavity. After a short period of time, reset controls for cleaning.

Q. What should ! do if excessive

smoking occurs during cleaning? A. This is caused by excessive grease and you should switch the Oven Set Knob to OFF. Open windows and doors to rid room of

smoke. Allow the oven to cool for at /east one hour before opening the door. Wipe up the excess grease and reset the clean cycle.

Q. is the “crackling” sound I hear during cleaning normal? A. Yes. This is the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. My oven shelves have become

gray after several cleanings. ISthis

normal?

A. Yes. After many cleanings, the shelves may lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide

easily. What isthe matter? A. After many cleanings, oven shelves may become so clean they do not slide easily. If you wish shelves to slide more easily, dampen fingertips with a small

amount of cooking oil and rub

lightly over the side of the shelf

where they touch shelf supports. Q. Why do i have ash left in my

oven after cleaning?

A. Some types of soil will leave a

deposit which is ash. it can be removed with adamp sponge or cloth.

Q. W\7y is there still some black soil left after cleai7ing?

A. You did not time the oven to

clean long enough. This deposit

will be removed in later cleanings. Q. If my oven clock is not working

can I still self-clean my oven? A. No. Your Automa!ic Oven Timer uses the {ange clock to help start and stop your self-cleaning cycle.

Q. VVhatcauses the hair-like lines orI the enameled surface of my oven? A. This is a common condition resulting from heating and cooling during cleaning. They do not affect

how your oven performs. Q. Can plug-in units be cleaned in

the oven? A. No. They will be damaged. Clean on top of the range by heating the coils as shown in the “How

To Care For Your Combination

Range.”

Q. Why won’t my oven clean imm-

ediately even though I have set

ail the time and clean knobs correctly? A. Check to be sure your range clock is set to the correct time of day. Also check to be sure the oven Latch is closed securely.

Q. If the inside of my oven door is soiled will it be cleaned during the

cleaning cycle? A. Yes. The raised section of the oven door inside the gasket will be cleaned. The area outside the oven gasket must be cleaned by hand as described in the “Cleaning Chart”.

Q. Can I open the oven door when the Lock Light is on?

A. No. You must turn all the controls to OFF and allow the oven to

cool. When the Lock Light goes

out, you may open the oven door. Q. Why would I want to set my Au-

tomatic Oven Timer to start cleaning at a later time of day? A. Some utility companies offer cheaper electric rates at times when electrical consumption is lowest, Since these rates often occur late at night when you may be sleeping, you can set your oven before going to bed so cleaning

times coincide with these lower

rates.
