hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
6. Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven
- Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns
-
among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven doors and windows.
7. Never let aluminum foil touch heating elements.
8. Never touch an oven light bulb with a damp cleaning cloth unless
the power is turned off to your oven and the bulb is cool to the
touch.
9. Do not heat unopened food containers - Buildup of pressure
may cause container to burst and result in injury.
10. Do not clean door gasket-It is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. Hand
clean only areas recommended in this booklet.
11. Do not use oven cleaners-No commercial oven cleaner or oven
liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around
any part of the oven.

CLOCK OPERATION AND MINUTE MINDER
Your oven has two time of day clocks. The digital clock on the upper control
panel controls all timed operations in the lower oven. The electronic clock
located in the microwave control panel controls the microwave oven.
How to Set Clocks:
Digital Clock
Push in and turn the Minute Minder timer knob to the left until the correct
time appears. NOTE: The timer hand will also turn. Reset this hand by
turning the knob (do not push the knob in) to the “OFF” position.
Electronic Clock
1. Touch “CLEAR” pad.
2. Touch “TIME OF DAY” pad.
3. Enter numbers on control panel to indicate a time one minute
faster than time on digital clock.
4. When digital clock registers the same time as numbers touched
on microwave control panel, touch “TIME OF DAY” pad again
NOTE: Flashing lights in the display panel of the microwave
oven indicate that there has been a power interruption to the
microwave oven. Power to the microwave oven is interrupted
when the selector is moved into or through the “CLEAN” position or when there is an electrical power failure.
If the clock is stopped for 18 hours or more, customer programmed recipes
may be lost. The preprogrammed recipes will not be affected. Follow above
instructions to reset both clocks, since power interruption will also affect
the digital clock.
The two clocks operate independently and if they occasionally get out of
phase with the other, there is no cause for alarm - simply reset the electronic clock as indicated above.
How to use the Minute Minder:
The Minute Minder is located on the left side of the clock. To use the Minute
Minder, turn the knob to the right until the white hand points to the desired
number of minutes, up to a maximum of 60. At the end of the set time, a
buzzer will sound and the white hand will point to “0.” After the buzzer
signal, turn the knob until the white hand points to “OFF.” This is a reminder only and will not turn the oven “ON” or “OFF.”
Page 10
HOW TO USE THE LOWER OVEN
The lower oven is used for baking, roasting, rotissing and broiling. It has
two controls-a Selector and a Thermostat-and both must be set for the
oven to work.
Selector
The Selector has five settings:
Broil -Use this setting for broiling or rotissing.
Only the upper element will be on.
Clean - Use this setting for self-cleaning only.
Time Bake - Use this setting for Automatic Time Baking and Retained
Heat Cooking. Both the upper and lower elements will be
on.
Bake - Use this setting for baking and roasting. Both the upper
and lower elements will be on.
Off-Use this setting to turn the oven off.
When both the upper and lower elements are on, the upper element operates at 25 percent power to aid in more uniform baking. The upper
element does not turn red like the lower element which operates at full
power.
Thermostat
The adjustable Thermostat can be set at any temperature from 170°F (LOW)
to 550°F. Settings LOW to 225°F are suggested for warming and holding
foods.
Preheating the Oven
For best results, preheat the oven unless the recipe states otherwise. Set
the Selector to “BAKE” and Thermostat to the desired temperature. Exercise care in turning the Thermostat not to go past the desired set point.
If setting is past, return dial to low-end stop and reset dial to desired
setting. The Oven Light will go out when the desired temperature has been
reached.
Be sure that the Selector is turned to “OFF” and the Thermostat is set at
the low-end stop when oven is not in use.

BAKING
To Use the Oven for Regular Baking
1. Turn the Thermostat (1) at the recommended temperature, see baking chart, page 13.
2. Turn the Selector (2) to “BAKE.”
NOTE:
Your Chambers oven has a built-in temperature controlled fan
to remove moisture and cool the electrical components so they will
last longer. The fan will run continuously during oven operation and
for a short time after the oven is turned off.
Rack Positions
No.4
No. 3
No. 2
No. I
Rack Positions
Your Chambers oven has four rack positions. Rack position 4 is the highest
position, or farthest from the bottom of the oven, and position 1 is closest
to the bottom of the oven. Be sure to arrange the oven rack(s) before
preparing foods or turning the oven on.
To Remove Oven Rack
1. Pull rack out until bar on back of rack touches first stop.
2. Lift front of rack up until rear position of rack slides out between
two front stops.
Baking Tips
l
Set the oven controls and, if necessary, allow the oven to preheat before
positioning pans.
l
Use the Minute Minder to time cooking functions. (See page 13 for recommended baking times.)
l
Avoid opening the oven door during baking. Heat is lost and improper
baking may result. Use the Bake View Window to conserve energy.
l
Wait until the shortest recommended baking time is over before checking
food.
l
Be sure the Selector is set at “OFF”, and the Thermostat is at the low
end stop when cooking has been completed.
l
When baking two sheets of cookies at the same time, each sheet should
be removed when the desired degree of doneness is reached.
11
CAUTION:
The Oven Lock Lever should always be unlocked
(positioned to the left) except when the Selector and Thermostat are in the “CLEAN” mode.
I
Page 12
Pan Placement
l
Use only one rack when baking in a large flat pan that covers most of the
rack, such as a cookie sheet.
l
Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans are
used. No two pans should be be directly above each other.
l
Allow 1% to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for even
air circulation.
l
When using a large roasting pan or cookie sheet, turn the pan so that the
long side is parallel to the oven door for the best heat distribution and
air flow.
Bakeware Tips
l
Use the proper baking pans to insure good results. Old or darkened pans
are not desirable.
l
Tin coated, stainless steel, warped or dented pans do not heat evenly and
will cause uneven baking.
l
Bake cakes, cookies, quick breads and muffins in shiny pans to give them
a tender, golden crust.
l
Reduce oven temperature by 25OF when using glass pans, except when
baking pies or yeast breads.
l
Cookies, biscuits and cream puffs bake best on medium weight aluminum
sheets with no sides or very low sides.
l
Use the recommended pan size given in recipes.
Using Aluminum Foil Correctly in the Oven
If you wish to use foil to catch possible spillovers, cut a piece of foil slightly
larger than the pan being used and turn up the edges. Position the foil
“tray” on the oven rack below the pan. NEVER COVER AN ENTIRE OVEN
RACK OR OVEN BOTTOM WITH FOIL. FOIL CAN OBSTRUCT NORMAL
HEAT FLOW, CAUSE COOKING FAILURES AND DAMAGE THE OVEN
INTERIOR.
NOTE: Moisture from normal oven cooking may appear on the
grill located below the microwave control panel where the oven
is vented. The moisture collection will be more noticeable when
cooking large moist oven loads. It will disappear as the oven
heats up, except in the case of an extremely moist load.

ROASTING
Meat Thermometer
GlT
Roasting is a dry heat cooking method and recommended for poultry and
tender cuts
of
beef, lamb, pork and veal.
To Use the Oven for Roasting
1. Arrange oven racks in desired positions.
2. Set the Thermostat (1) at the recommended temperature, see
roasting chart, page 16.
3. ‘l?~rn the Selector (2) to “BAKE”.
Roasting Tips
l
Roast meats in a shallow pan with a roasting rack
l
Use a roasting pan that fits the size of the item to be roasted. Meat will
overflow a pan that is too small, and a too large pan will result in increased
oven spatter.
l
Spatter can be reduced by lining the bottom of the roasting pan with
lightly crushed aluminum foil.
l
A foil “tent” will slow down surface browning for long-term roasting, as
when roasting a turkey. Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat to allow
for air circulation. Do not seal foil or meat will be steamed.
l
Use an accurate meat thermometer to determine when meat has reached
desired degree of doneness. Insert thermometer into the center of the
thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. For an
accurate reading, the tip of the thermometer should not touch fat, bone
or gristle.
l
After reading the thermometer once, push it further into the meat % inch
or more and read again. If the temperature drops, return the meat to the
oven for more cooking.
l
Remove standing rib roasts from the oven when the thermometer registers 5” to 10°F lower than the desired doneness. The meat will continue
to cook after removal from the oven.
l
Roasts will be easier to carve if allowed to stand lo-15 minutes after
removal from the oven.

BROILING
Broiling, a quick-cook method for tender cuts, will produce foods that are
brown on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside.
To Use the Oven for Broiling
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions. Place food on grid
on broiler pan and place in the center of the oven rack.
2. Set the Thermostat (1) at the recommended temperature, see
broiling chart, page 18.
3. Turn the Selector (2) to “BROIL.” Do not preheat the broiler.
4. Close the oven door.
Broiling Tips
l
Always place food on a cold broiler pan for even broiling.
l
It is best not to pierce meat with a knife or fork so more natural juices
will be retained.
l
Broil food on one side for slightly more than half the recommended time,
then season and turn it. Season the second side just before you remove
it from the broiler.
l
Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops before broiling.
l
Slit fatty edges to prevent meat from curling.
l
Brush food with butter, sauce or seasoning, if desired, several times
during broiling.
l
When broiling fish or seafood, grease the broiler pan grid with butter or
oil to prevent sticking.
CAUTION: COVERING THE BROILER GRID WITH FOIL IS
NOT RECOMMENDED. POOR DRAINAGE OF HOT FAT MAY
RESULT IN A BROILER FIRE. If foil must be used, make sure
slots are cut in foil to correspond to all openings in the broiler
grid. Fat can then drip away from meat and cool in the pan.

ROTISSERIE
Th
Spear
Rotissing, which is roasting food on a revolving spear while exposed to a
heat source, is suitable for meats that can be broiled or roasted. Select
tender cuts of meat and prepare them as for oven roasting.
To Use the Oven for Rotissing
1. Position the rotisserie support rack in rack position three so spear
will fit into the drive socket located at the back of the oven.
2. Place the broiler pan on the oven rack in the lowest position to
catch drippings.
3. Remove the prong nearest the pointed end of the spear. Center
the meat on the spear. Slide the prong which was removed back
onto the spear. Slide both prongs into the meat and tighten
thumbscrews.
4. Place spear with food on the support rack. Swing the cover plate
at the back of the oven cavity to the side and insert the spear into
the drive socket. The rotisserie motor will start when the spear is
inserted all the way.
5. Set the Thermostat to the recommended temperature, see rotis-
serie chart on page 2 1.
6. ‘Run the upper oven selector to “BROIL’
7. Close the oven door. Do not preheat the oven.
8. To remove the rotisserie spear from the oven, grasp the support
rack with a potholder and pull it out. REMOVE SPEAR AND SUPPORT RACK CAREFULLY. THEY WILL BE HOT.
19
Page 20
Rotissing Tips
l
Rolled roasts are ideal for rotissing because they are easy to balance on the
spear. Insert the spear through the center of the meat. Meat cuts with
bones require planning for even weight distribution.
l
Leave space between food when rotissing more than one item or a long
item such as a spare rib strip. Browning and cooking are slowed where
foods touch each other.
l
Weave the spear in and out to form accordian folds, leaving a space between each fold, when rotissing ribs.
l
Season, stuff (if desired) and truss poultry as for oven roasting. Also close
any openings with skewers or string. For best results, baste poultry with
butter or broth every 20-30 minutes during rotissing time.
l
Meat can be marinated before rotissing or basted with a favorite sauce
several times during cooking.
l
Foods for rotissing should be no longer than rotisserie spear with a diameter of 7 inches or less.
l
Make sure thumbscrews or prongs are tight. If prongs loosen during

RETAINED HEAT’I” COOKING
ABOUT RETAINED HEAT’ COOKING.. .
When an oven is used for normal cooking methods, such
as
baking
and roasting, the heating element heats the
oven cavity to maintain the temperature set on the thermostat. Certain amounts of this heat escape from the
oven and are wasted. The CHAMBERS RETAINED HEAT
oven is specially insulated around the oven cavity
and
door so that this heat is “retained” inside the oven and
used for cooking food. This means that you can heat your
Chambers oven to the required temperature, turn it off
and
cook
food by “Retained Heat.” When using the Retained Heat method for your regular recipes, the baking
time must be shortened and the baking temperature
raised. Please refer to the “Recipes for Success” Retained Heat Cookbook for more information.

OVEN SELF-CLEANING
Rotisserie Plug
Cover
Window Shield
Window Shield Levers
The self-clean feature is designed to eliminate the need for scrubbing and
scouring soil baked onto the oven interior. Food spatters on the oven walls
become harder to remove each time the oven is heated, however, the Self-
Clean cycle heats these soils to a higher temperature (850%900°F) where
soil is “burned off.”
Before Starting the Self-Clean Cycle
1. Remove all items from the oven.
Remove oven racks according to instructions on page 11. It is
recommended that the oven racks be removed as they will discolor
and darken during the self-clean cycle. If the racks were left in
the oven during the clean cycle, wipe the sides with vegetable oil
after cleaning so they will slide easily. BROILER PAN, BROILER
GRID OR COOKING UTENSILS SHOULD NOT BE CLEANED IN
THE OVEN. HEAVY GREASE BUILDUP ON THESE ITEMS WILL
PRODUCE SMOKE AND ODORS WHICH CAN BE DISCHARGED
INTO THE KITCHEN.
2. Wipe up large spillovers.
Wipe up large spillovers on the bottom and sides of the oven with
a damp cloth or sponge.
NEVER USE CHEMICAL OVEN CLEANERS INSIDE SELF-
CLEANING OVEN OR ON RAISED PORTION OF THE DOOR.
The smoke eliminator will handle the normal flow of odors during
the clean cycle, however, minor smoke may be noticed when soil
buildup is heavy.
3. Wipe Soil from Oven Frame and Door outside of Gasket. Wash
with detergent and hot water, rinse well with a mixture of vinegar
and water and wipe dry. A non-scratch scouring pad may be used
on heavily soiled areas. Wash surfaces frequently to minimize
overall cleaning as these areas are not cleaned during the selfclean cycle.
CAUTION:
DO NOT SCRUB OR CLEAN OVEN DOOR GASKET.
4. Be sure Rotisserie Plug Cover is down.
5. Close the Window Shield.
With the door fully
opened,
move the Window Shield Levers
to the top of the window. The Oven Lock Lever will not lock
unless Window Shield is up.

What Happens During the Self-Clean Cycle
After the controls are set:
l
The Clean and Oven Lights will glow to tell you the oven is slowly heating
to the clean temperature.
l
The Lock Light will come on when the temperature reaches 575”.
600” F (approximately 15 minutes).
At the End of the Cleaning Cycle
l
The Oven Light will go out.
l
The Clean Light will stay on.
l
The Lock Light will continue to glow until the oven temperature drops
below 550°F (approximately 45 minutes). The oven door cannot be opened
until Lock Light goes out.
l
After a clean cycle any powdery residue can be wiped away with a damp
cloth. If white spots remain in the oven after a clean cycle, remove them
with a non-scratch scouring pad before using the oven again. These spots
are usually salt residues that cannot be removed during the Self-Clean
cycle.
l
If the soil removal was not complete, increase the length of the clean
time in the next cycle.
To Interrupt Cleaning Cycle
Before lock light comes on:
1. Iurn Stop Time Dial Control until it pops out
2. Slide Lock Lever all the way to the left.
3. Turn Selector to “OFF” and Thermostat to the low-end stop.
DO NOT REVERSE ORDER OF STEPS OR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN.

Oven Self-Cleaning Tips
l
Evening is a good time to clean the oven, after normal oven use is
completed.
l
Small amounts of smoke escaping from the oven vent are normal when
oven is heavily soiled. Excessive smoke may indicate heavy spillovers
have not been wiped up.
. THE MICROWAVE OVEN WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN THE LOWER
OVEN IS IN THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. After the cycle is complete, the
Microwave Oven clock will need to be reset. See instructions on
page 9.
l
Do not force the Oven Lock Lever open when the Lock Light is on. Damage
to the lock mechanism may result.
l
Clean the lower oven regularly, before it becomes “excessively dirty.” If
oven is not clean after one cycle, repeat cleaning cycle.
