of overcooking. In longer expo-
sures to overcooking, the food
and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons: 1)Use micro-
wave piastics 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

taken not to rub, damage, or
movethe gasket.
@Do not use cwwl ck?aner%
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 listed in this
Use and Care Book.
@Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan and other
utensils.
@Listen for fan—-afan noise
should be heard sometime
during the cleaning cycle. If not,
call for service before self-
cleaning again.
Sutiaee cooking units:
@Use Proper Pan Sbx+—--This
appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different
size.Select utensils having fiat
bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element.
The useof undersized utensils
will expose aportion of the
heating element to direct con-
tact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of
utensii to burner wiil also
improve efficiency.
@Never k?avesurface units
unattended at high heat settings.
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 %3
line drip pans or anywhere in
the oven except as described
in this book. Misuse could result
in ashock, fire hazard,or
damage to the range.
QOnly 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 (SW Section on “Sur-
face Choking” for suggestions.)
@To minimize burns, igqition of

Knowing how to use and care for
your appiiance properly will save
you time and energy, increase
your efficiency, and give you more
flexibility in your cooking style. We
have kept features from your
former range and added new ones
to make cooking amore creative
experience.
Your Combination Range has many
features you may not have used
before, The best way to become
familiar with them is to read this
Use and Care Book thoroughly.
You will iearn how to care for your
Combination Range as weil as
how to cook conventionality, cook
with microwave energy, or com-
bine both for aunique cooking
function.
This Use and Care Book wiii show
with detaiied step-by-step infor-
mation and illustrations how to
use the cooking and cieaning fea-
tu$es. To help you better under-
stand your new range, “i-low To”
recipes are illustrated throughout
the book.
There are severai ways to create a
variety of dishes and meals with
your Combination Range.
cooking
With your Combination Range,
you -may stiii use your favorite
recipes. lJsuaily the oniy adjust-
ments are in setting your oven. A
Cooking and Adapting Chart, show-
ing adjustments in oven tempera-
tures, times, and power ieveis, is in
the front of each food chapter of
the Cookbook. General guidelines
for adapting are in aspecific sec-
tion in the front of the Cookbook.
TakingCareof!Your ‘
CombinationRange
To keep your Combination Range
performing efficiently, it is impor-
tant for you to ciean and care for it
reguiarly, and this book wiil show
you how. Continued use of your
self-cleaning feature, as weli as
frequent washing of your other
range parts, wiii help your Combi-
nation Range to continue giving
you the best performance possible.

Surface Cooking—Your surface
units and controls give you a
choice of heat settings for cooking
on top of your range. Surface cook-
ing gives you the flexibility of frying,
canning, and pressure cooking.
Microwave Cooking—Food is
cooked with microwave energy
fasterthan can be done convention-
ally. Microwave energy alone can
be used for quick heating, quick
defrosting, and quick cooking.
Baking—Food placed inside the
oven is cooked by hot, dry air. Pas-
tries, including cookies and muf-
fins, cook best with baking because
crisp and crusty surfaces are
desirable.
CombinationE?aking-Regular bak-
ing heat is used while microwave
energy speeds up cooking time
and retains the food’s moisture.
Roasting—A low and steady tem-
perature cooks meat or poultry
derly and accurately.
rnbination Roasting—Recom-
mended cooking techniques com-
bine microwave energy with regular
roasting heat for some or all of the
roasting time. Some cooking time
is saved, and the meat’s natural
juiciness and tenderness are
preserved.
i3roiiing-Food is quick-cooked by
intense radiant heat from the
upper unit of the oven. This
method produces foods that are
brown on the outside but moist
arid juicy on the inside, and usu-
aily require turning over.
Combinatim iBroiling-Microwav-
ing is used along with broiling.
This function a!lows food to be
cooked rapidly with broiled appear-
ance. [t efficiently cooks frozen
steaks,chops or poultry which often
brown before the center is done.
*Useproper power levelas recomm-
ended and DO P-K)?OVER(XX3K.
*DO r-totoperate the oven while
empty, {f by accident the oven
should run empty aminute or two,
no harm is done. However, try to
avoid operating the oven empty at
ail times—-saves energy and also
ensures good long term life of
oven.
sUse cooking utensils of medium
weight aluminum, tight-fitting
covers, and fiat bottoms which
completely cover the heated por-
tion of the surface unit.
@Cook fresh vegetables with a
minimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
@Watch foods when bringing
them quickly to cooking tempera-
tures at HIGH heat. When food
reaches cooking temperature, re-
duce heat immediately to lowest
setting that will keep it cooking.
@IJse residual heat with surface
cocking whenever possible, For
example, when cooking eggs in
the sheli 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 co~king
task. .high heats to start cooking
(if time ailows, 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
need@. Ris not economical to
boil acontain~r fujl of water for
only one or two cups,
*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 ,bakirig, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open as
short atime as possible when it i-s
opened.
@For self-cleaning oven, be sure
to w,ipe up”excess spil~age before
self-cleaning operation.
4$Cook complete oven meals in-
stead of just one food item. Pota-
toes, other vegetables, and some
desserts will cook together with a
main-dish casserole, meat ioaf,
chicken or roast. Choose foods
that cook at the same temperature
in approximately the sam~etime.
@Use residual heat in oven when-
ever possible to finish cooking
casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also
add rolls or precooked desserts to
warm oven, using residual heat to
warm them.
@Make sure al! utensils used in
your microwave oven are iabeled
“suitable for microwaving”. Check
your Cookbook for specific test
to determine “microwave-safe”
utensils.
@Paper +owels, wax paper, and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
@Some microwaved foods require
stirring, rotating, or rearranging.
Check your Cookbook for specific
instructions.

ContainerTips
@Potsand pans should be flat on
the bottom and match the size of
the surface units. Large contain-
ers should be on large units and
small ones on small units.
@It is important pans fit the units
you are using. Apan that ex-
tends more than one inch be-
yond the edge of the trim ring
traps heat which causes “craz-
ing” (fine hair-line cracks) on
the porcelain and discoloration
ranging from blue to dark gray
of the trim rings.
@Containers of various materials
may require different heat set-
tings and/or cooking time.
Check the manufacturer’s in-
structions before using.

The corMai17er materials listed below are best suited for top-of-the-range cooking.
Giveseven ~eatingwhile responding quickly to temperature changes. Good for
.quick frying, saut6ing, or braising.
Cast Iron Responds slowly to temperature changes. Good for lengthy, low-heat frying and
pan broiling.
Enamelware Because porcelain enamei is used over other metal, the cooking procedures de-
pend on the type of metal covered. Enamelware is good for cooking large
amounts of liquid.
Glass-ceramic Responds slowly to temperature changes. Good for long, low-heat cooking of
liquids. New glass-ceramic range-top pans are coated on the underside bottom
surface with metal and are designed for even heating.
Stainless Stee! For better heating, stainless steei is combined with another metal. Good for
cooking eggs, sauces, soups, and vegetables.
Step 1: Place unshelled eggs in a
saucepan. Cover with cool water.
Step 2: Cover pan and place on
the Ca!rod@ unit. Make sure the
pan and unit are compatible in
size.
Step 3: Turn your Calrod@unit on
HI and bring eggs to the steaming
point. When wisps of steam come
from under the cover, turn to low
or WM and time for about fifteen
minutes.
Step 4: Turn off Calrod(Q’unit and
remove saucepan from the top of
the range.
Step 5: Plunge eggs into cold wa-
ter immediately to keep from fur-
ther cooking and prevent yolks
from discoloring.
Step 6: To shell, crack the she!!
and roll the egg between the palms
of your hand. This will loosen the
skin from the egg and make shell-
ing easier.

Questions
andAnswers
Q. May 1can foods and preserves
on my surface units?
A. Yes.,but only use containers de-
signed for canning purposes.
Check the manufacturer’s instruc.
tions and recipes for preserving
foods. Be sure canner is flat-bot-
tomed and fits over the center of
your Cair~dR unit, Since canning
generates large amounts of steam,
he carefui to prevent burns from
steam or heat, Canning should
only be done on surface units.

Q. Can Iuse special cooking
equipment, like an oriental wok, on
my surface units?
A. Containers 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 porcelaiil finish on
my containers coming off?
A. If you set your Calrodn un!ts
higher than required for the con-
tainer material, and leave it, the fin-
ish 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.

Metal
[not recommended)
Makesure each container is approved for microwaving by manufacturer. Ideal
for quick and even heating. See “Safety Instructions” on page 4 before using
plastic containers.
Most oven-to-tableware is labeled “suitable for microwave”. Use for casseroles,
custards, egg dishes, vegetables, and quick heating of liquids.
“Microwave Safe” should appear on label before using or check with the manu-
facturer. The Cookbook describes tests to determine if different containers are
microwave safe. Usefor special dishes to be served directly from the oven.
l-hese are acceptable for microwaving only, but must not be used when com-
bination cooking. Bacon cooks quickly since paper plates and towels absorb the
grease. Paper towels used over foods will help absorb moisture and prevent
spatters. Microwave approved plastic wraps are used to hold in moisture and aid
in faster cooking results.
TV dinners and similar items can be microwaved successfully. Keep containers
at least 1“ from oven walls and door. See Cookbook for other suggested usages
of foil on chicke;l, meats and fish.
Metal containers are riot recommended. For microwaving only, metal containers
are very inefficient and better results are obtained by using one of the other
mentioned materials. Metal containers can arc to oven shelf leaving slight burn
marks or pits on container and oven shelf.

MICROWAVE/CLEAN. After the
Latch is secured, the Microwave
Timer automatically resumes the
time you originally set.
Q. Are there certain foods that
should not be microwaved?
A. Yes. Eggs in the shell can burst.
Other foods such as hot dogs,
baked potatoes, apples, poultry
giblets or eggs out of the shell
need to be pierced to prevent burst-
ing. See Cookbook for other foocls
that need attention. (See “Safety
Iristrwctions” on page 4,)
Q. Is it necessary to cover all foods
durii~g microwaving?
A. No, but covering foods is rec-
ommended in order to retain mois-
ture in foods such as casseroles.
Covering foods, like bacon, with
paper towels will prevent spatter
and absorb the moisti~re.
Q. Cai~ Ichange Power Levels
while cooking?
A. Yes. If your recipe calls for dif-
ferent Power Levels, set the first
Power Level in the recipe and sei
the Microwave Timer for the time
specified for the first Power Level.
When the Timer signals, simply re-
set the second Power Level and

before using plastic containers.
Many new TV dinners are packaged in paper trays which ailow for even micro-
waving. Cartons used for deli foods, sour cream, and other similar foods are
ideal for freezing for short periods. Boxes containing frozen fish, meats, or other
purchased frozen items, microwave well but usually need turning as specified in
Cookbook.
Glass products promote even defrosting but are not well suited for freezing.
Foods should be transferred to glass containers just before defrosting. Make
sure glass is “microwave-safe”.
Shallow foil trays can be used for homemade dinners, but food that microwaves
well should be selected. Food in foil trays over 34” high should be removed from
the trays for more even results. Keep at least 1“ from oven walls and door. Some
TV dinners contain foods such as fries or breads that do not microwave well.
Those foods should be removed before defrosting. If aiuminum foil is used for
freezing, remove before defrosting for best results.

These container materia!s are best for co~mbinationbaking:
Oven-proof Paper Board Can be used in ovens set no higher than 375°. Check package directions before
use. Do not use other paper containers. See “Safety instructions” on page 5.
Oven-proof Plastics There are certain plastics that can withstand oven temperatures to 400°. Check
manufacturer’s specifications before using. Because these containers allow
microwave energy to penetrate a[’ifood surfaces, foods which are combination
baked in them are often higher in volume then when metal pan is used. Do not
use other plastics or plastic wraps. See “Safety Instructions:’ on page 5.
Aluminum Foil TV dinners and similar items may be prepared quickly. Use aluminum foil as di-
rected in Cookbookfor meatsand chicken. Place containers at least 1“ from
oven walls and door.
Metal Medium weight aluminum conducts heat more evenly than stainless steel and
faster than glass. Check in your Cookbook for results when baking in different

Be sure meat is cooked to your
satisfaction. Most meats con-
tinue to cook slightly while
standing after being removed
from the oven. This should be
taken into consideration when
determining your cooking time.
Always use aroasting pan that
fits the size of your meat. A
roast placed in a pan too small
for its size will drip over the
edge.
You may cook frozen meat
roasts without thawing. How-
ever, you must allow more
cooking time for large roasts,
add 10-25 minutes per pound.
For roasts under 5pounds, add
10minutes per pound.
To slow down surface browning
on turkeys, you can use afoil
“tent”. The tent-shaped foil
should be laid loosely over the
poultry so the heat can circulate
under the fQi!.
Most frozen poultry should be
thawed before cooking to elT-
sure it is done evenly. Some, S.&%
