BACKSPLASH OF ARANGE—
CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE
RANGE 70 REACH ITEMS
COULD BE SERIOUSLY
INJURED.
●Wear proper clothing. Loose
fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while
‘using the appliance. Flammable
material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot heat-
ing elements and may cause
severe burns.
.Use only dry potholders—
moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot-
holders touch hot heating e!e-
ments. Do not use atowel or
other bulky cloth.
●Never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
●Storage in or on Appliance-
Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven or near sur-
face units.
●Keep hood and grease filters
clean to maintain good venting
and to avoid grease fires.
●DO not let cooking grease or

soda or, if available, amulti-
purpose dry chemical or foam.
~Do not touch heating ele-
ments or interior surface of .
oven. These surfaces may be ~
hot enough to burn even though
they are dark in color. During
and after use, do not touch, or
Jetclothing or other flammable
materials contact surface units,
areas nearby surface units or -
arty interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling,
first.
Potentially hot surfaces include
the cooktop and areas facing
the cooktop, oven vent opening
and surfaces near the openings,
and crevices around the oven
door.
Rememtxx The inside surface
of the oven may be hot when the
door is opened.
oWhen cooking pork follow
our directions exactly and
always cook the meat to at least
170°. This assures that, in the
remote possibility that trichina
may be ‘present in the meat, it
will be killed and meat will be
safe to eat.

Microwave Oven:
●Read and follow the specific
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found on page 2.
●To reduce the risk of fire in
the oven cavity:
—Do not overcook food. Care-
fully attend appliance if paper,
plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
—Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven.
—Do not use your microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Paper towels and napkins, wax
paper. Recycled paper products
can contain metal flecks which
may cause arcing or ignite.
Paper products containing nylon
or nylon filaments should be
avoided, as they also ignite.
—Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—Do not operate the oven while
empty to avoid damage to the
oven and the danger of fire. If by
accident the oven should run
empty aminute or two, no harm
is done. However, try to avoid
operating the oven empty at all
times—it saves energy and pro-
longs life of the oven.
—If materials inside the oven
should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and dis-
connect the power cord, or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
.Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed con-
tainers—for example, closed
glass jars—may explode and
should not be heated in this
oven.
.See door surface cleaning
instructions on page 24.
●Don’tdefrostfrozen bever-
ages in narrow necked bottles;
especially carbonated ones.
Even if the container is opened,
pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst,
resulting in injury.
●Use metal only as directed in
Cookbook. Metal strips as used
on meat roasts are helpful when
used as shown in Cookbook.
TV dinners may be cooked in
metal trays. However, when
using metal in microwave oven,
keep metal at least l-inch away
from sides of oven.
●Cooking utensils may
become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated
food. This is especially true if
plastic wrap has been covering
the top and handles of the
utensil. Potholders may be
needed to handle the utensil.
●Sometimes,the oven floor
can become too hot to touch.
Be careful touching the floor
during and after cooking.
o,Do notuse any thermometer
in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
●Remove the temperature
probe from the oven when not
using it to cook with. If you leave
the probe inside the oven without
inserting it in food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damage oven walls.
●BoiIing eggs (in and out of
shell) is not recommended for
microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.
●Foods with unbroken outer
“skin” such as potatoes, hot
dogs or sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and eggs (see above)
should be pierced to al{ow
steam to escape during cooking.
5
●Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their
lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
●Plastic Utensils—Plastic
utensilsdesigned for microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking condi-
tions as are glass or ceramic
rnateriais and may soften or
char if subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In tonger expo-
sures to overcooking, the food
and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons 1) Use micro-
wave plastics only “and use
them” in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty utensils to micro-
waving. 3) Do not permit children
to use pJastic utensils without
complete supervision.
.“Boilable” cooking pouches
and tightly ctosed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in Cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst dur-
ing or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
beat least partially uncovered
because they form atight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with piastic wrap,
remove covering carefuily and
direct steam away from hands
and face.
●Use of the DOUBLE DU~
shelf accessory. TO position
shelf so that it is securely
“seated,” insert into the oven
cavity above shelf supports and ,
completely to the back oven
wail. Drop into place so that the 1
recessed areas are over the shelf
supports. To remove shelf, lift
shelf above supports and then
pull forward and out. Do not
place food on shelf unless it is
secureJy “seated on the
supports’
●When the shelf is not in use,
remove from the oven.
.Do not use amicrowave
browning dish on shelf.

Oven:
●Stand away from the range
when opening oven door. The
hot air or steam which escapes
can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
●Don’t heat unopened food
containers in the oven. Pressure
could build up and the container

●Place oven rack in desired
position while oven is cool. If
racks must be handled when
hot, do not let potholder contact
heating units in the oven.
.Pulling out shelf to the shelf
stop is aconvenience in lifting
heavy foods. It is also aprecau-
tion against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven
walls.
●When using cooking or roast-
Surface Cooking Units:
●Use Proper Pan Size-This
appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different
size. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils
will expose aportion of the
heating element to direct con-
tact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
.Never leave surface units
unattended at high heat setilngs.
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 to
line drip pans or anywhere in
the oven except as described in
ing bags in oven, follow the ‘this book. Misuse could resu[t in
manufacturer’s directions. ashock, fire hazard, or damage
.Do not use your oven to dry to the ranqe.
newspapers. If overheated, they
can catch fire.
Self-Cleaning Oven:
QDo not clean door gasket
The door gasket is essentiai for
agood seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
●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.
●Clean only parts fisted in this
Use and Care Book.
.Before self-cteaning the oven,
remove broiler paII and other
utensils.
●Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed containers
are suitable for range-top ser-
vice; others may break because
of the sudden change in tem-
perature (See Section on “Sur-
face Cooking” fur suggestions.)
.To minimize burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spill-
age; the handle of acontainer
should be positioned so that it is
turned toward the center of the
range without extending over
nearby surface units.
●Don’t immerse or soak
removable surface units. Don’t
put them in adishwasher.
.Always turn surface unit to
OFF before removing utensil.
.Keep an eye on foods being
fried at HIGH or MEDIUM HIGH
heats.
.To avoid the possibility of a
bum or electric shock, always
be certain that the controls for
all surface units are at OFF posi-
tion and all coils are cool before
attempting to remove the unit.
oWhen framing foods under
the hood, turn the fan off. The
fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
@Foods for frying should be as
dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up
and over sides of pan.
oUse little fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying. Fill-
ing the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is
added.
●If acombination of oils or
fats will be used in frying, stir
together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
.Always heat fat slowly, and
watch as it heats.
.Use deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent
over-heating fat beyond the
smoking point.

Energy Saving Tips
Microwave Cooking
@Use proper power level as
recommended and DO NOT
OVERCOOK.
.DO not operate the oven while
empty. If by accident the oven
should run empty aminute or two,
no harm is done. However, try to
avoid operating the oven empty at
all times—saves energy and also
ensures good long term life of oven.
Surface Cooking
.Use
cooking utensils of medium
weight aluminum, tight-fitting
covers, and flat bottoms which
completely cover the heated portion
of the surface unit.
eCook fresh vegetables with
aminimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
oWatch foods when bringing
them quickly to cooking tempera-
tures at HIGH heat. When food
reaches cooking temperature,
reduce heat immediately to lowest
setting that will keep it cooking.
elJse residual heat with sutface
cooking whenever possible. For
example, when cooking eggs in the
shell bring water to boil, then turn
to OFF position to complete the
cooking.
●Always turn surface unit OFF
before removing utensil.
●lJse correct heat for cooking
task. . . high heats to start cooking
(if time allows, do not use HIGH
heat to start), medium high—quick
brownings, medium—slow frying,
low—finish cooking most quanti-
ties, simmer—double boiler heat,
finish cooking, and special for
small quantities.
●When boiling water for tea
or coffee, heat only the amount
needed. It is not economical to boil
acontainer full of water for only
one or two cups.
Conventional
Oven Cooking
●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 the light goes out.
●Always turn oven OFF before
removing food.
●During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open as
short atime as possible when it is
opened.
●For self-cleaning oven, be sure
to wipe up excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
●Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables, and
some desserts will cook together
with amain-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same tem-
perature in approximately the same
time.
●LJseresidual heat in oven when-
ever possible to finish cooking cas-
seroles, oven meals, etc. Also add
rolls or precooked dessetis to warm
oven, using residual heat to warm
them.

Defrosting Tips
●Foods frozen in paper or
plastic can be defrosted in the
package.
●For even defrosting, many
foods need to be broken up or
separated part of the way through
the defrosting time.
●Homemade dinners can be
frozen in shallow foil trays and
heated for later use. (Do not heat
on metal shelf). Select foods
which microwave well.
●Pre-packaged frozen dinners
can be defrosted and microwave
cooked, but foil tray must be
returned to box before cooking
on metal shelf.
●Check your Cookbook for
other defrosting tips.
Questions
and Answers
Q. When Ipress START, I hear a
dull thumping noise. What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is letting
you know the oven is using a
Power Level lower than HIGH.
Q. Can IDefrost small items in a
hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more
frequent attention than usual. Raise
the Power Level after entering the
time by touching POWER LEVEL
and 7or 10. Power Level 7cuts the
time about in %; Power Level 10
cuts the time to approximately ‘/3.
During either, rotate or stir food
frequently.
Q. Can Iopen the door during DE-
FROST to check on the progress
of my food?
A. Yes. You may open the door at
any time during microwaving. To
resume defrosting, close the door
and press START.
Q. Why don’t the defrosting times
in the Cookbook seem right for my
food?
A. Cookbook times are average.
Defrosting time can vary according
to the temperature in your freezer.
Set your oven for the time in-
dicated in your Cookbook. If your
food is still not completely thawed
at the end of that time, re-set your
oven and adjust the time ac-
cordingly.
Q. Can !select aPower Level other
than automatic Power Level 3for
defrosting?
A. Yes. Some smaller foods may be
defrosted quicker on higher Power
Levels but for even, carefree de-
frosting, Power Level 3is sug-
gested. Check the chart in the
Cookbook for specific times and
Power Levels.

Cooking by Temperature
For many foods, internal temperature is the best
test of doneness.
Roasts or poultry are cooked to your preference
when temperature cooking. Heating or reheating
foods accurately to aserving temperature you
desire is simple and easy.
TEMP COOK takes the guesswork out of cooking
because the oven shuts off automatically when the
food is done.
The Temperature Probe
The temperature probe is afood thermometer that
gauges the internal temperature of your food; it
must be used when using TEMP COOK or AUTO
ROAST. Follow the directions for use and insertion
on page 14. HANDLE

Cooking Tips
oUse alower power level setting;
it will heat more evenly even
though requiring more time.
●Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before insert-
ing probe. Probe may break off if
used in frozen foods.
●Always insert probe into the
center of meaty areas; take care
not to touch the fat or the bone.
●Insert probe as horizontally as
possible into foods as directed in
the recipes. Make sure the handle
does not touch the food.
●Use the clip to keep the probe
in place while heating.
●Cover foods as directed in
Cookbook for moisture control and
quick, even heating.
Questions
and Answers
Q. Are there any foods Ican’t
TEMP COOK?
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc., soften rapidly at warm temp-
eratures. Batters and doughs as
well as frozen foods are alsq diffi-
cult to cook precisely with the
probe. It is best to TIME COOK
these foods.
Q. After Ifollowed the steps and
touched START, asignal sounded
and oven did not start. What is
wrong?
A. If you set the temperature either
below 80° or greater than 199° the
oven will not start. To re-enter,
touch CLEAR/OFF pad and begin
steps again.
Q. Oven sounded and would not
start although Ientered the temp-
erature correctly. What is wrong?
A. If you have not securely seated
the end of the probe into the
receptacle in the oven wall, if you
touch TEMP COOK and have for-
gotten to use the probe or if the
actual food temperature is higher
than set temperature, oven will
sound and not start.
Q. Can Ileave my probe in the
oven if.it’s not inserted in the food?
A. No. If the probe is left inside the
oven, touching the oven wall, and
not inserted in food, you may dam-
age the oven.
Q. How do Iknow what tempera-
ture to set?
A. Your Cookbook contains sec-
tions on all types of foods showing
the temperatures needed to cook
the foods to different degrees of
doneness. For reheating, refer to
Reheating Charts in the front
of the Cookbook for specific
temperatures.

How to Use the Hold/Timer
Your HOLD/TIMER, which oper-
ates without microwave energy,
has three timing functions.
It operates as a Minute Timer, it
can be set to delay cooking or may
be used as a hold setting after de-
frosting. Hold/Timer can be set up
to 99 minutes.
Step 1: Touch HOLD/TIMER pad.
The display shows :0. Signal light
above HOLD/TIMER flashes.
Step 2: Select the amount of time
you desire. Touch the appropriate
number pads. If, for example, you
are timing athree minute phone
call, touch 3, 0, and O. The display
shows 3:00.
Step 3: Touch START. The readout
display shows the time as it counts
down.
Step 4: When time is up, asignal
sounds and the timer turns off.
The HOLD/TIMER can also be
used to program “standing time”
between microwave cooking ?unc-
tions. The time can range from one
second to 99 minutes and 99 sec-
onds. AHOLD, or “standing” time
may be found in some of your own
recipes or Cookbook.
To set the oven to delay cooking
up to 99 minutes follow Steps 1
and 2to enter hold time, then set
Time Cook and time, or Temp
Cook and temperature desired
before pressing START. When
holding before temperature
cooking, be sure probe is in food
before pressing START.

Questions
and Answers
Q. What will happen if Iacciden-
tally reverse the instructions?
A. If you accidentally reverse the
sequence of programming instruc-
tions, your oven automatically
rearranges your program. Defrost-
ing always comes first, then hold,
and then the cooking function.
Q. Iprogrammed my oven for a
specific defrosting time but it de-
frosted longer than necessary.
What happened?
A. When instructions conflict, the
oven carries out the last instruc-
tion. You may have set the oven to
Defrost for 4minutes, Hold/Time
for 2minutes, and then Defrost for
6minutes. In this case, the oven
would Defrost for 6minutes and
Hold/Time for 2minutes.
Q. Can IDefrost-Hold only on my
oven?
A. Yes, for foods you don’t want
to cook, like frozen fruit, frozen
whipped topping, etc.—refer to
Cookbook.
NOTE: Ailow foods to remain at
room temperature only as long as
safe. Times will vary.

Questions
and Answers
Q. Are there any particular trivets
that work better than others?
A. Yes, flat glass trivets such as lids
or dish covers generally give more
even cooking results than plastic
trivets. Also, ceramic ridge-
bottomed roasting dishes usually
work well. Plastic trivets generally
require meat to be turned over
more frequently because the grid
design and legs allow the bottom
of the meat to stay cooler as it
cooks, than glass trivets do.

How to Use Cook CodeTMControl
The Cook Code’” control provides ashort-cut
method for entering time and the Power Level on
your microwave oven. Cooking Codes are only used
for recipes which need little or no attention, and
which require no change of power level during cook-
ing. Recipes which require additional ingredients,
attention or change in power level during micro-
waving should be cooked in the usual manner. Also,
recipes with cooking time of less than one minute or
more than 99 minutes can not use Cooking Codes.
To understand the Cook Code control, it is impor-
tant to know what the numbers mean and what the
sequence is. The first and second numbers, if set-
ting a3digit Cooking Code, indicate the amount of
time you desire; the last control entry number is
always the Power Level. For example, 125 means
12 minutes at Power Level 5. NOTE: Your oven can
only be programmed to 99 minutes when using the
Cook Code control and the highest Power Level is
10 which is represented by “O”. When setting a
2digit Cook Code control entry, the first is time, the
second is power level. For example, 50 means
5minutes at Power Level 10.
On the following page is shown many frequently
prepared foods and their codes. It’s easy, though,
to make Cooking Codes for many other recipes.
Just select one or two digits representing the length
of cooking time desired, and afinal digit for the
Power Level required. The Cooking Codes given on
the chart are for the minimum time needed, to avoid
overcooking which can dry out food and make it
tasteless and tough. If you feel that more cooking is
needed, add additional time by changing the first
digit of the Code. You cannot add seconds to the
cycle time—Cooking Codes are for whole minutes
only. If your recipe calls for Power Level changes or
different amounts of time needed between addition
of ingredients, you may set one Cooking Code for
the first part of the recipe, then after completion, set
another Cooking Code for that period of time and
Power Level.
Remember that Cooking Codes are for micro-
waving by time only. If you are microwaving by
temperature, you must use the Temp Cook or Auto
Roast function.

Surface Cooking
~. 4\ Your range top is designed to give you the flexibility
=< -4 of boiling, steaming, sauteing, browning, frying,
~A canning, or pressure cooking. It heats through the
~., metal coils of four Calrod’ units thus giving the cor-
1rect amount of energy for each setting you choose.
How to Set the Controls
You must push the knob in only
when it is set at OFF; this is to pre-
vent you from turning the knob on
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.
Step 1: Push in control knob.
SPECIAL NOTE: You may find
foods you boil on the surface units
causing condensation to gather
under the upper microwave oven.
This is especially true ~of foods
boiled with water or naturally high
in moisture.
Steam condensation will not harm
your range. However, you may
minimize condensation by:
The lowest setting is between OFF
and WARM. At the HI setting, you
will feel the knob lightly click into
place.
In aquiet kitchen, you may hear
slight “popping” sounds during
cooking, indicating heat settings
are being maintained.
.
Step 2: Turn the knob in either di-
rection to the heat setting you
want.
Covering pots and pans with
lids, especially when cooking
high moisture foods on the
range top.
Selecting asurface unit at the
front of the range for boiling
foods.
Container Tips
.Pots and pans should be flat on
the bottom and match the size of
the surface units. Large containers
should be on large units and small
ones on small units.
.it is important that pans fit the
units you are using. Apan that
extends more than one inch be-
yond the edge of the trim ring may
reach temperatures that could
eventually harm cooktop surfaces
around units.
●Center pots and pans on asur-
face unit which closely matches
the bottom of the utensil in size.
●Containers of various materials
may require different heat settings
andlor cooking time. Check the
manufacturer’s instruction before
using.
●Special cooking equipment with-
out flat bottoms, such as the orien-
tal wok, are not recommended and
could shorten the life of the sur-
face unit and/or range top since
high heat temperatu-res are re-
quired in this type cooking.

Cooking Tips
.Keep range and ventilating hood
free from grease accumulation.
.When cooking is almost com-
pleted, use the retained heat to fin-
ish cooking. Turn the knob to OFF
and leave the cooking utensil in
place. When surface unit has
cooled, remove the utensil and the
cooked food.
.To prevent certain foods from
foaming, add atablespoon of
cooking oil to the water before
cooking.
.Never leave food unattended
when you are cooking at HI or
MED HI settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and grease spillover may
catch fire.
.When canning foods, be sure to
check manufacturer’s instructions
and recipes. Be sure canner is flat-
bottomed and fits securely over
center of Calrod Runit.
●Make sure Calrod’ plug-in unit is
securely plugged in and seated on
ring/pan properly for even heating
results.

Home Canning Tips
Canning should be done on cooktop only.
In surface cooking of foods other than canning, the
use of large-diameter utensils (extending more
than l-inch beyond edge of trim ring) is not
recommended. However, when canning with water-
bath or pressure canner, large-diameter utensils
may be used. This is because boiling water temper-
atures (even under pressure) are not harmful to
cooktop surfaces surrounding heating unit.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CAN-
NERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER UTENSILS
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN
WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and all
types of frying-cook at temperatures much higher
than boiling water. Such temperatures could even-
tually harm cooktop surfaces surrounding heating
units.
Observe Mowing
Points in Canning:
1. Bring water to boil on HIGH heat, then after boil-
ing has begun, adjust heat to lowest setting to main-
tain boil (saves energy and best uses surface 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.
Be sure bottom of canner is flat or slight indenta-
tion fits snugly over surface unit. Canners with
flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamel-
ware) are not recommended.
RIGHT WRONG
4. When canning, use recipes from reputable
sources. Reliable recipes are available from the
manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of
glass jars for canning; such as Ball and Kerr; and,
the United States Department of Agriculture Exten-
sion Service.
5. Remember, in following the recipes, canning is a
process that generates large amounts of steam. Be
careful while canning to prevent burns from steam
or heat.
NOTE: If your surface section is being operated on
low power (voltage), canning may take longer than
expected, even though directions have been care-
fully followed. The process may be improved by: (1)
using apressure canner, and (2) for fastest heating
of large water quantities, begin with HOT tap water.
Questions
and Answers
Q. HOW can my Minute Timer
make my surface cooking easier?
A. Your Minute Timer will help
time TOTAL cooking which includes
time to boil food and change tem-
peratures. Do not judge cooking
time by visible steam only. Food
will cook in covered utensils even
though you can’t see any steam.
Q. May I can foods and preserves
on my surface units?
A. Yes, but only use utensils de-
signed for canning purposes. Check
the manufacturer’s instructions and
recipes for 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
prevent burns from steam or heat.
Canning should only be done on
surface units.
Q. Can I use special cooking
equipment like an oriental wok, on
any surface units?
A. Utensils 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 Icover my drip pans with
foil?
A. No. Clean as recommended in
the Cleaning Chart.
Q. Why is the porcelain finish on
my containers coming off?
A. If you set your. Calrod~ units
higher than required for the con-
tainer 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.
Q. Why am I not getting the heat I
need from my units even though I
have the knobs on the right setting?
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.
Q. Why do my utensils tilt when I
place them on the surface unit?
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.
