@ Listen for fan—-afan noise
should be heard sometime
during the cleaning cycle. If not,
call for service before selfcleaning again.
Sutiaeecookingunits:
@ 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.)
@ To minimize burns, igqition of
flammable materials, and spillage;the handle of a container
should be positicmedso that it is
turned toward the center of the

canning, and pressure cooking.
MicrowaveCooking—Foodis
cooked with microwaveenergy
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
crispand crustysurfacesare
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.
rnbinationRoasting—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
juicinessand tendernessare
preserved.
i3roiiing-Foodis quick-cooked by
intenseradiantheat fromthe

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

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 lightlyclick 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 settingsand/orcookingtime.
Check the manufacturer’sinstructions before using.

Step 1: Place unshelled eggs in a

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

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 specialcooking
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.
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

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.
Metai containers can arc to oven shelf leaving slight burn marks or pits on container and oven sheif.

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
racktopreventmeatfrom
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
pastriesin 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 evaporatedin
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.
