the area that the range

Levelingscrewsare located on each
corner of the base of the range. By
removing the bottom drawer you
can level the range to an uneven

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

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

Use residual heat with surface
cooking whenever possible.For

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

foods that cook at the same temperatureand 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.

utensils even though no steam may
be apparent during the cooking
process.

non-stick cooking surface. Avoid
usingutensils with sharp or rough

on the griddle. See chart for
cooking directions. If preferred,
foods may be cooked without
greasing griddle.
1. Place griddle on Automatic

it falls into place over unit. The
griddle is designed for easy posi-
tioning; it must be correctly placed
to work properly.
2. Push in Automatic Unit selector
button marked GRIDDLE.
3. Select heat on surface unit control knob. Use settingslisted on
griddle or on chart. For griddle
cooking, use heats between 200-

Q. How can my Minute ‘f’hner

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.

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.
