The range should be instaHedon a sheet of plywood (or similar mate­rial) as follows: When

Levelingscrewsare located on each corner of the base of the range. By removing the bottom drawer you can level the range to an uneven j?oorwith the use of a nutdriver.
To remove drawer, 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

surfacecooking
Use cooking utensilsof medium weight aluminum, tight-fitting covers, and -iIatbottoms which completely cover the heated por­tion of the surface unit.
Cook fresh vegetableswith 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 willkeep it cooking.
Use residual heat with surface cooking whenever possible.For example, when cooking eggsin
the shell, bring water to boil,
then turn to OFF position to
complete the cooking.

Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If ~~oufind preheating is neces-
sary, watch the indicator light, and put food in the 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 when it i’sopened. ,
Cook complete oven meals instead of just one food item. Potatoes, other vegetables, and some desserts willcook 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.
Use residual heat in oven when­ever possibleto finish cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven, using residual heat to warm them.

Your range top is designedto give you flexibility of boiling, steaming, sauteing, browning, frying, can­ning, or pressure cooking. lt heats through the metal coils of four Calrod@units thus givingthe cor­rect’amount of energy for each setting you choose.
Surface Cooking with
Infinite Heat Controls
Your surface units and controls are designed to giveyou an infinite choice of heat settings for surface unit cooking.
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 LOW 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 show a quicker change than switching to lower settings.

How touseIt
@Set pan on unit. Usea cover on
utensil when suggested on
Auto-
matic (.ki~ Cooking Chart on next page.
~ Push in Automatic Unit selector button which corresponds to unit size.To use a variety of utensilsyou may select three different sizes on the Automatic Unit; 4 inch, 6 inch and 8 inch.
LARGE—8-inch unit. Push 8“
button when using large utensils that completely cover the unit (3-quart to 6-quart saucepans or 8-to-10-inch skillet).Then select desired heat setting.
I$lEDIUiM-6-inch unit. Push 6“
button when using medium-sized cooking utensils that do not com­pletelycover the unit (2 to 2~z­quart saucepans or 6 to 7-inch skillets).Then select desired heat setting.
I
SMALL-4-inch unit. Push 4“ button when using small cooking utensils about 4 inches in diameter (as a l-quart saucepan). Then select desired heat setting.
@Select the heat setting as recom-
mended on the Automu[ic Unit
Cooking Chart. (Settings were chosen using medium-weight alum­inum pans,)
—For cooking with liquids, use set­tings anywhere in the area marked HI, MED, LOW BOIL, SIM, or setting in between to obtain desired rate of cooking.
—For frying operations use settings
anywhere in area numbered 200 to
500. —For warming operations use set-
tings marked 200 and the linejust below 200.
* When cooking is finished, turn
surface Ilnit control to OFF.
TipsforBest Rf?si.dts
* Use flat-bottomed medium­weight aluminum utensils, in relation to sizeof unit in use, tight­fitting lids with foods which required a cover; loose lids or no cover lengthen cooking time.
Warped, concave or convex­bottomed pans may not touch sensor in center of Automatic Unit; if not, sensor cannot control heat supplied to pan.
@Use amount of water suggested on Automatic Unit chart; if more is used, higher heat setting, longer cooking time may be required.
@Utensil of other materials may require different heat settings and/or cooking time.
~ Use MINUTE TIMER to time TOTALcooking. Include time usu­ally required to bring food to boil, switching heats, etc. Do not judge cooking time by visiblesteaming only. Food will cook in covered utensils even though no steam may be apparent during the cooking process.

Q. How can my Minute ‘f’hner make my surface cooking
Your Minute Timer will help.
A.
time TOTALcooking which includestime to boil food and change temperatures. Do not judge cooking time by visiblesteam only.
Food willcook in covered utensils even though you can’t seeany steam.
Q. May I can foods and
onmy
A. Yes,but only use utensils de-
signed for canning purposes. Check the manufacturer’s instructions and recipesfor 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 1use specialcooking equip-
mentlike an orientalwok, on any surfaceunits?
A. Utensils without flat surfaces am
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 cookifig.
surface units?
easier?
preserves
Q. CanI covermy drippans with
foil?
A. No. Clean as recommended in
the Cleaning Chart.
Q. Why is the porcelain finish on
my containerscoming off? A. If you set your Calrod@ unit
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, a too high heat for long periods, and small amounts of dry food, may damage the finish.
Q. Whydo my utensils tilt when I
placethemon the surfaceunit? A. Make sure that the “feet” on
your Calrod@units are sitting tightly in the range top indentation and the trim ring is flat on the range surface. Possibly your plug-in unit is not plugged into unit properly.
Q. Why amI not gettingthe heat I
need from my unitseventhough I havethe knob on the rightsetting.
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.

Before -using Youroven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you
understand how to set them prop-
erly. 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 practice run at re-
moving and replacing them prop-
erly, to givesure 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, BROIL, CLEAN (and on ovens so equipped, ROTISSERIE), 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°) to BROIL (550°) and also at CLEAN (8800).The Oven Cycling Light glows until oven reaches the selected temperature, then goes off and on with the oven unit(s) during cooking. PREHEATING the oven, even to high temperature settings, is speedy—rarely more than about 10 minutes. Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will
cook satisfactorily without preheat­ing. If you find preheating is neces­sary, keep an eye on the indicator
light and put food in the oven
promptly after light goes out.
Poin!er
OvenTempSettingfor NormalCooking
I
HVIPOR’FAN’I’:The OVEN TEMP control has a blue pointer that is used only for CLEAN. For normal cooking, line up the desired tem-
peratures (marked on the outer edge of the control knob) with the index marker located immediately above the control.
For CLEAN, rotate the knob to the right until blue pointer is pointing up, toward Index Marker. When position is reached, knob should snap into position.

InteriorShelves
The shelve(s)are designed with stop-locks so that when placed cor-
rectlyon the shelf supports, (a) will
stop-before coming completely from the oven, (b) will not tilt when
removing food nor when placing food on them.
TO REMOVE shelve(s)from the
oven, lift up
rearof shelf, pull for-
ward with stop-locks (curved exten-
sion under shelf)along top of shelf
supports. Becertain that shelf is
cool before touching.
TO REPLACE shelve(s)in oven,
insert shelf with stop-locks resting
on shelf supports. Push shelf
toward rear of oven; it willfall into
place. When shelf is in proper posi-
tion, stop-locks on shelf willrun

When cooking a food for the first
time iri ~ow new Ove~, use time @ven on recipes as ~ guide. Oven ~~ermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting and clifferences in timing between
an old and a ntixv oven of
5 to 10
minutes are not unusual and you may be inclined to think that the new oven isnot 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.
HOWtO set
YourRange
for Baking
Step 1: Place food in oven, being certain to leave about l-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. Step 2: Turn OVEN SET Knob to
BAKE and OVEN TEMP Knob to temperature on recipe or on Baking Chart.
Step 3: Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Switch off heat and remove foods.

or Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically at a later time and turn off at a preset stop time) will be described.
How toSet hmmdiate Start
NOTE:Before beginning make sure
the hands of the range clock show the correct time of day.
Immediate Start is simplysetting oven to start baking now and turning 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 dial and turn
pointer to time you want oven to turn off; for example 6:00.The Start Dial should be at the same position as the time of day on clock.
Step
2:Turn OVEN SET Knob to
TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP
Kfiob to oven temperature, for
example 250°.
How to$%4Dekty 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 1: To set start time, push in
knob on START dial and turn pointer to time you want oven to
turn on, for example 3:30.
Step2: To setStop Time, push in knob on STOP dial and turn pointer to time you want oven to turn off, for example 6:00.This means your recipecalled for two and one-half hours of baking time.
NOTE:Time on Stop Dial must be later than time shown on range clock and Start Dial.
Step 3:Turn OVEN SET Knob to TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP

seeRoasting chart or?) Page 33.
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. (You may hear a slight clicking
noise to indicate the oven is
working properly.) Roasting is easy,just follow these steps:
Step 1:Check weight of meat, and
pla~e,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 w~thfruits, cooking h~avily cured meats, or for basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these materials on oven liner or door.
Step 2:Place in oven on shelf in A
or B position. No preheating is necessary.
Step 4:Most meats continue to
cook slightlywhile standing after
being removed from the oven. For rare or medium internal doneness, if meat is to stand 10-20minutes whilemaking gravy or for easier
carving, you may wish to remove
meat from oven when internal tem­perature is 5-10”F below tempera­ture suggested on chart. lf no standing is planned, cook meat to suggested temperature on chart on page 33.
NOT’E:You may wish to use TIME
BAKE as described on preceding page to turn oven on and off auto­matically. Also, if your oven is
equipped with special meat ther-
mometer, see page 20for usage.
For Frozen Roasts
Frozen roasts of beef, pork,
~
lamb, etc., can be started without
thawing, but allow 10-25minutes
per pound additional time (10 min. per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
UIThaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure even doneness.
Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfullywithout thawing. Follow directions given on
packer’slabel.
Questionsand Answers Q.1s it necessarytocheckfordone-
newwitha meatthermometer?
A. Checking the finished internal
temperature at the completion of cooking time isrecommended. Tem­peratures are shown on Roasting Chart on page 33. For roasts over 8 lbs., cooked at 300° with reduced time, check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after % of time has passed.
Q. Why is my roastcrumbling
whenI tryto carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if
allowed to cool 10to 20 minutes after removing from oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. Do 1need to preheatmy oven
eachtime I cook a roastor poultry?
A.
Itis rarely necessary to preheat
your oven, only for very small
roasts, which cook a short length of time.
Q. Whenbuyinga roast arethere
any specialtipsthat would helpme
cook it moreevenly?
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 willsteam the meat. L,eavingit unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.
Step 3:Turn OVEN SET to BAKE arid OVEN TEM P to 325°. Small poultry may be cooked at 375° for best browning.
See Broiling Charton Page 34.

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-in. apart. If desired fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about %-in. thick.
Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack in broiler pan which comes with range. Always use rack so fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise juices may become hot enough to catch fire. Aluminum foil may be used to line broiler pan and rack. But, be CERTAIN to cut opening in foil, to
correspond with slots in ~herack so fat drips into pan below.
Step3: Position shelf on recom­me~ded shelf position as suggested on Broiling Chart on page 34. Most broiling is done on C position, but if your range is connected to 208 \olts, you may wish to use higher position.
,
Step 4: Leave door ajar about 3 inches. The door stays open by i{self,yet the proper temperature ismaintained in the oven.
Step 5: Turn OVEN SET Knob and OVEN TEMP Knob to BROIL. Pre­heating units is not necessary.(See notes on Broiling Chart page 34.)
Step 6: Turn food only once during cooking. Time foods for first side as on Broiling Chart page 34, Turn food, then use times given for sec-
ond side as a guide to preferred doneness. (Where two thicknesses and times are given together, use first times given for thinnest food.)
Step 7:Turn OVEN SET Knob to
OFF. Serve food immediately, leave pan outside oven to cool during meal for easiest cleaning.
Questions and Answers
Q. Should I leave the door ajar
when broiling chicken?
A. No, The door should be closed when cooking chicken and shelf position “A” is recommended.
Q.
May I use aluminumfoil to line
the broiler pan and rack?
A. Yes,if youmold foil thoroughly
to broiler rack, slittingit to con-
form to slits in rack. Slits permit
proper drainage of meatjuices into broiler pan, minimizingsmoking and spattering and preventing pos­sibility of fire from overheated drippings. Do not place sheet of foil on oven shelf. To do so may result in improperly cooked food
and possible damage to oven finish.
Q. Should Isalt 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 also allowsjuices to escape.
When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.
Q. Whenbroiling,isit necmsaryto
alwaysusea rackin
A. Yes.Using the rack suspends the
meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, thejuices fall into the pan thus keeping meat dryer. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.
Q. Do 1 need to greasemy broiler
rackto preventmeatfrom sticking?
A. No, The broiler rack is designed
to reflect broiler heat thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat sticking to the surface,
Q.
Why are my meatsnot turzd~g
out as brown as theyshould? ­A. In some areas, the power (volt-
age) to the range may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil unit
for 10 minutes before placing
broiler pan with food in oven,
Check to see ifyou are using the recommended shelfposition, Broil for the longest period of time indi­cated in the Broil Chart in this book, Turn food only once during broiling,

Food is cooked by revolving on a
spit under the (upper) broil unit. As
food turns, it bastes itselfto pro-
duce a succulent brown and tender roast. Meat tender enough for roasting may be rotissed.
1. Assemble rotisserie. Insert
curved ends of frame into large
holes of broiler pan handles. Lock frame in place by fitting straight ends of support into holes in center handles.
2. Secure food on spit. When secured correctly, food will be located in center area of spit leaving 4 inches free at the pointed end (this part goes into motor).
3. To secure food on spit: Push on 2-pronged fork onto spit near handle end. Tighten with screw. Push spit through food (tie food securely and compactly), distri­buting weight evenly on each side ~ of spit.
To check weight distribution on spit, hold spit (and food) between
hands, palms up; spit should roll
smoothly from palms to fingertips when palms are tipped forward.
Finish securing food on spit by gliding second 2-pronged fork onto spit with prongs toward food. Tighten screws to a flat surface on spit,
4. Place spit on frame so handle end is in narrow support, and pointed end is in wide U-shaped support.
Rotissing the Food:
Put oven shelf in lowest position
1.
in oven. With food on spit, place spit on oven shelf.
2. Set OVEN TEMP Knob as sug­gested on Rotisserie Time and Temperature Chart on next page.
Settings are 300-400to get foods
juicy and done without
overbrowning.
3. Switch OVEN SET Knob to ROTISSERIE. This starts broil unit and rotisserie motor operating. Spit can be inserted and removed easier when motor is operating. NOTE: Make certain when touch­ing spit that no part of body or potholder touches coils of broil unit.
4. Insert spit into motor: Remove handle, hold broiler pan with potholders and push to the right,
pushing spit firmly into motor
outlet as far as it willgo.
5. Check rotation of food. Tighten or adjust forks if necessary. During
cooking, forks may need tightening due to normal meat shrinkage.
6. AS FOOD COOKS LEAVE DOOR AJAR IN “BROIL” POSI-
TION; door stays open by itself.

Rotisserie Notes
@Do not use electric meat ther­mometer, on models so equipped, while operating the rotisserie. A regular, non-electric meat ther­mometer may be used while rotissing providing it doesn’t touch the oven, frame or pan while meat revolves, (Or, if desired, cook to estimated doneness then pull meat from oven to insert meat ther-
mometer. Wait about 2 minutes for
temperature to register. If meat is
not done, remove thermometer and continue cooking if necessary.)
@If rotissing turkey, let stand in
warm oven 10to 20 minutes after
cooking to assurejuicy meat and
complete doneness.
e At end of cooking pull out pan
and shelf together, using potholders.
Turn OVEN SET to OFF. Remove
food from spit. Cool pan outside
oven; soak forks and screws for
easiest clean up.

For many foods, especiallyroasts and poultry, internal food tempera­ture is the best test for doneness. The meal thermometer takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact done­nessyou want. The meat ther­mometer has a skewer-like probe at one end of the cable and a two­pronged plug at the other, Use handle of plug and probe, rather than cable, when inserting and removing these parts from meat
and/or oven wall receptacle. After
preparing meat and placing in roasting pan on rack, follow the steps belowfor proper use of meat
thermometer.
Step3: plug cableinto receptacle
on oven wall. The prongs are spe­ciallydesigned to only plug in one way. Be certain to insert plug into receptacle all the way. Close oven door.
@
Step 6: Wheninternaltemperature
of roast reaches number you have set, a buzzer sounds. To stop buzzer turn pointer to SIGNAL OFF.
Internal temperature of meat can
be determined at any time during cooking by turning pointer down
until buzzer sounds.
!?@ 1:To gauge placement of probe, lay probe on outside of meat along top or side and mark with
finger where edge of meat comes on
probe. Probe siould be placed so point rests in center of the thickest part of roast.
/
%P z: ~nser~ probe into meat UP tO
~~int marked off with fingers. Point
~houldnot touch bone, fat or gristle. Not more than 2“ of probe, not
counting handle should be left exposed outside of meat. NOTE: To obtain best results with poultry,
place point of probe in center of
stuffing; see Roasting Chart for doneness temperature of stuffing.
Step 4:TurnOVENSET Knobto
BAKE and OVEN TEMP Knob to recommended oven temperature, for example 350°. See Roasting
Chart on-page 33 for oven ­temperature.
Step 5: Refer to chart near Meat Thermometer Dial to determine at
what internal temperature meat will be done. Then turn knob next to dial to move pointer to correct number (internal temperature) cmdial.
Ste~ 7: When roast is done, use car; in removing plug from recep­tacle. DO NOT USE CABLE. Re­move meat from oven. Since most meat continues cooking, you may wish to remove 5°-100 sooner.
Step 8: Remove probe from meat, using handle of probe
notcable.
Most meats carve easier if let stand 5 to 10minutes. Let thermometer cool and clean as directed in Clean­ing Chart on page 29, Do not leave in oven.

Youmay use the meat thermometer for broiling, such as steak or ham slices.Prepare meat on broiler rack and pan as explained on page 17, “How to Broil”. Set both OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP Knobs to BROIL and leave door ajar as
recommended, after placing probe in meat and oven as directed below:
Step 1: Use steak at least l-l~z
inches thick. Lay probe on top of steak to determine the position probe is to be inserted. Gauge dis­tance from edge to center of largest muscle;mark with thumb where edge of meat or fat meets probe. Becertain NOT MORE THAN
2 inches of probe, not counting
handle, is leftexposed outside of
meat.
Step2:
keeping thumb in place on probe.
Insert probe as near as possible to center of thickness of steak. Push probe into steak to where thumb meets fat or meat.
Lift probe from meat
Step 3: For rare steaks cook first side to 90 on meat thermometer dial; for medium to 100; for well­done 110.Set Meat Thermometer Dial to preferred doneness.
Step 4:At sound of buzzer, turn steak; check probe to be certain it has not moved out of position. Reset pointer on Meat Thermom­eter and cook second side. See chart on range near Meat Ther-
mometer Dial,
NOTES:
e If there is a question about
whether probe has moved out of position during cooking, turn knob so pointer moves down on dial until buzzer sounds. Note indicated temperature and reset pointer to SIGNAL OFF. Push probe farther down into roast, about 1inch, then
after a few minutes redetermine
internal temperature as above. If
new temperature is lower, the probe was probably out of position. lf so, allow meat to cook to proper internal temperature.
e Let meat thaw enough to allow inserting probe. The probe is sturdy but take care not to force it too hard into roast.
~ Do not disconnect probe during cooking. ‘Usehotpads when re­moving probe at end of cooking,
Do not use tongs to pull on cable
since they may damage it,
NOTE: DO NOT USE MEAT THERMOMETER WITH ROTISSERIE.
Questhmsand Answers
Q. Cm themeatthermometer remainin the ovenif it’snot insertedin food?
A. No. Remove probe from recep-
tacle when no%in use. Youcould damage the probe by leaving it in during cooking operations that do not require the probe.
Q. May I insertthe meat ther-
mometer into frozen foods?
A. No. Foods must be completely
defrosted before inserting probe.
Q. Should Iline broilerpan with
aluminumfoil whenroasting? A. Yes,when using pan for mari-
nating, cooking with fruits or heavilycured meats, or for basting during cooking, Avoid spilling these materials on oven liner or door.
Q. How may1be surethat my
roastwillcook thesame each time? A. When using the meat ther-
mometer in roasting, the probe must be inserted properly. Check the position of the probe during cooking, Sometimes the probe slips or is touching bone, fat or gristle. Reposition probe correctly and set oven again to finish roasting.

Proper care and cleaning are important so your Range willgive you efficientand satisfactory service. Followthese directions carefully in caring for your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.
Ftishes The porcelain enamel finish is
sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish isacid resistant. How­ever. any acid foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato, or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
(km VentDud
Your Range isvented through a duct located under the right rear Calrod@unit. Clean the duct often.
?’0remove: e Make sure unit is cool.
s Lift up right rear surface unit. e Remove drip pan and ring.
@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: Nevercover the hole in the oven vent duct with aluminum foil or any other material. This prevents the oven vent from working prop-
erly during any cooking cycle.
Pipg”In surface units
Clean the area under the drip pans
often. Built-up soil, especially
grease, may catch fire. To make
cleaning easier, the plug-in surface

AdjustingWm ‘Hwrnmstat
Use time given on recipe when cooking 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 unusua~.Your oven,has been set correctly at the factory and is more
apt 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 in the thermostat (Oven Iemp) knob,

The Americana model with a built­in exhaust system isequipped with a damper, a two-speed exhaust blower, and removable filters. Exhaust openings are located over cooking top and in hood over oven.
The exhaust systemfunctions only when the blower is operating. Locate the button for exhaust system at the bottom of the vertical control panel. For high speed push in top of button; for low speed push in bottom of button and to stop blower push center of button.
When blower is operating and hood over oven is closed, it exhausts over surface units only. When blower operates with hood in open posi­tion, it exhausts through openings over surface units and over oven simultaneously.
THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SHOULD BE OPERATED WHENEVER ODORS, VAPORS, OR SMOKE ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE RESULT OF A COOKING OPERATION. START FAN AT THE BEGINNING OF COOKING.
To open hood above the oven, lift up handle at right of hood; to close push down on handle. Use hood in its fullyextended position whenever vapor or smoke results from cooking, such as when pan broiling or deep-fat frying an the surface units. See information on use of surface units.
Two filters are located over cooking top and one behind hood exten­sion. Filters are removable for cleaning.
Filter(s) becomes soiled over a period of time. The efficiencyof your exhaust systemdepends on how clean ih~ filter(s) is. Frequency of cleaning, or replacing, depends on the type of cooking you do, but
filters should be cleaned AT
LEAST ONCE A MONTH. clean frequently the grease-laden surfaces adjacent to the filter(s).

Do not clean the bake unit or broil unit. Any soil will burn off when the unit is heated. NOTE: The bake unit is hinged and can be lifted gently to clean the oven floor. If spillover, residue, or ash accumulates around the bake unit, gently wipe around the unit with warm water.
Drain fat, COOIpan and rack slightly. (Do not Iet soiled pan and rack stand in oven to cool). Sprinkle on detergent. Fill the pan with warm water and spread cloth or paper towel over the rack. Let pan and rack stand for a few minutes. Wash; scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. OPTION: The broiler pan and rack may aIso be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Pull off knobs. Wash gently but do not soak. Dry and return controls to range making sure to match flat area on the knob and shaft.
Wash all glass with cloth dampened in soapy water. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. If knobs are removed, do not allow water to run down inside the surface of glass while cleaning.
Wash,rinse, and then polish with a dry cloth. DO NOT USE steel wool,
abrasives, ammonia, acids, or commercial oven cleaners which may damage the finish.
Avoid cleaning powders or harsh abrasives which may scratch the enamel. If acids should spill on the range while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or
cloth to wipe up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills, such as fat smatterings, etc., wash with soap and water

tJtensii Tips
1. Use medium or heavy-weight cooking containers. Aluminum containers generally conduct heat faster than other metals. Cast iron and coated cast iron containers are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenlyat LOW or MEDIUM settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly ifnot combined with other metals. Use non-stick coated or coated metal con-
tainers. Flat ground pyroceram saucepans or skillets coated on the bottom with aluminum generally cook evenly. Glasssaucepans should be used with the heat-spreading trivets available for that purpose.
2. To conservethe most cooking energy, pans should
be flat on the bottom, have straight sides and tight fitting lids. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. A pan that extends more than one inch beyond the edge of the trim i.ing traps heat which causes“crazing” (fine hairline cracks) on the porcelain and discoloration ranging from blue to dark gray on the trim rings.

1. Aluminumpans conduct heat quickly.For mostconventional
baking light shiny finishes generally give best results because they help prevent overbrowning in the time it takes for heat to cook the
center areas. Dull(satin-finish)bottom surfacesof pansare recoin­mendedfor cake pans and pieplalesto be surethoseareas brown completely.
2. Dark or non-shinyfinishes.also glassand pyroceram,generally absorb heat whichma}’result in
dry, crisp crusts. Reduce oven heat
if lighter crusts are desired. Preheat cast iron for baking some
25°
foods for rapid browning when food is added.
3. Preheating the oven is not always necessary, especially for
foods
whichcook longerthan 30or 40 minutes. For foodwithshort
cookingtimes,preheatinggivesbestappearanceand crispness.
4. Openthe oven door to checkfoodas little as possibleto prevent unevenheatingand to saveenergy.

in surface cookingoffoods other
than canning,the useof large­diameterutensils(extendingmore thaii l-inch beyondedgeof trimring)
isnot recommended.However,when canningwithwater-bathor pressure canner, largediameter utensilsmay
be used.Thisis becauseboilingwater temperatures(evenunderpressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces surroundingheatingunit.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER UTENSILS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER.Most syrupor sauce
mixtures—andall typesoffrying— cook at temperaturesmuch higher than boilingwater. Suchtempera­tures could eventuallyharm cooktop surfacessurroundingheatingunits.
Observe Following Points
in Canning:
Bring water to boil on HIGH
1.
heat, then after boiling has begun, adjust heat to lowest setting to maintain boil (savesenergy and
best usessurface unit.)
2. Be sure canner fits over center of surface unit. If your model surface section does not allow canner to be centered on surface unit, use smaller-diameter containers for good canning results.
3. Flat-bottomed canners give best canning results. Besure bottom of canner is flat or slight indentation fits snuglyover surface unit. Can­ners with flanged or rippled bot­toms (often found in enamel-ware) are not recommended.
RIGHT
WRONG
4. When canning, use recipesfrom reputable sources. Reliable recipes
are available from the manufac­turer of your canner; manufacturers
of glass jars for canning; such as Balland Kerr; and, the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
5. Remember, in following the recipes, canning is a process that
generates large amounts of steam.
Becareful while canning to prevent burns from steam or heat.
NOTE: If your surface section is
being operated on low power (volt-
age), canning may take longer than expected, even though directions have been carefully followed. The process may be improved by: (1) using a pressure canner, and (2) for fastest heating of large water quan­tities, begin with HOT tap water.
