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

it i’sopened.,
Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables, and
some desserts willcook together

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

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

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

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.
ovencontrols
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.
(lven
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
under shelf support when shelf is
pulled forward.

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 factorysetting
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.
l+OWtO
‘f-heautomatic oven timer controls
are designed to turn the oven on or
off automatically at specific times
that you set. Examples of Jmme-
Time Bake
diate Start (oven turns on now and
you set it to turn off automatically)
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
Knob to 250° 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.

to
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 cookingfood 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,

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

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.

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.)
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.
/
%Pz: ~nser~ probe into meat UP tO
~~int markedoff with fingers.Point

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 oventemperature.
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.

(Model M-H-W(ID)
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,

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).

the exhaust opening, lower the
front and remove. When clean,
replace. Place edge of filter against
spring at rear of exhaust opening.
Push to rear, lift front edge, and let
spring push filter forward into
place under edge of exhaust
opening.
2. Hood: Extend hood as far as
possible, or remove hood extension
if desired, see illustration. Place
fingers on each side at bottom of
filter. Press filter to left until it
clears the holder on right side,
remove. When clean, replace. Push

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.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE

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.

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.
