The Control Panel provides maximum convenience of use. The Con-
trol Panel illustrated is of the double oven Model OAB21, with two
Single Dial Oven Controls and two Signalites. Control at left oper-

similar but has only one Single Dial Oven Control and one Sig-
nalite. (See Page 15 for instructions on use of the Timer .)
@OVEN SIGNALITE
Glows while oven is pre-heating and
while current is being used to main-
tain temperature - usually only 7 to
10 minutes per hour while the oven
is

Oven
Cooking
You can bake or roast in
any rack posUion in your
Westinghouse Built-in Oven
and get perfect results every
time.
One reason for this is the
scientific design of the Spread-
Even Oven Heaters, which make
sure that uniform heat is dis-
tributed evenly throughout the
oven.
Another reason is the exclusive Westinghouse Miracle Seal around the
oven opening. It locks the heat in, locks out disturbing cold air currents.
If yours is a Model OAB21, you can bake or broil in both ovens at the
same time or bake in one while broiling in the otheL
The following suggestions will make sure you get perfect results :
1. Stagger pans so they will not interfere with heat circulation
. . . Be sure they are not touching each other or the sides,
back or door of the oven.
2.
Always preheat oven for best baking results ... wait until
Signalite goes out before putting foods in the oven.
3.
Roast tender cuts of meat or poultry in a shallow, uncovered
pan without adding water . Place meat on a trivet, fat side
up ... it will brown evenly on all sides and baste itself.
CAUTION :
Never line the floor or racks of the oven with foil. This not
only destroys the even pattern of heat distribution, but also
may cause damage to porcelain finish of the oven, for which
Westinghouse cannot be responsible. However, certain foods,
such as potatoes, may be wrapped in foil for baking, or a collar
of foil may be made to fit around a pie plate or other baking
utensil to catch spillovers.

Reversible Oven Racks
(Models OA830, 08830, OG830, OH830)
Both oven racks of Models OBB30 and OHB30
ovens and one rack of Models OAB30 and
OGB30 ovens are reversible. allowing you to
make full use of your oven's generous capacity .
Lock Stops prevent them from being pulled out
of the oven accidentally, but they can be re-
moved by pulling forward to the Lock-Stop po-
sition , tilting upward and then pulling forward
again.
The oven has four sets of rack glides - racks
may be reversed in the bottom three . Reversing
a rack in the same glide raises or lowers it ap-
proximately 11/z". This, plus the adjustments
possible by placing the racks in different sets
of glides, makes seven different rack arrange-
ments available, giving ample room for large
roasts , fowl, etc. Oven rack
in "down
11
position.
Special Notes:
1. When the top set of glides is used , be sure the oven rack is
in the "down" position .
2.
For extremely heavy loads in other sets of glides, be sure
the rack is in the "up" position .
3.
Imperial Ovens with rotisserie (Models OAB30 , OGB30)
have a dual purpose oven-rotisserie rack, in addition to one
reversible rack. The dual purpose rack cannot be reversed,
but may be used for baking or roasting in any set of rack
glides. Instructions for using this rack for rotisserie cooking
are on Page 12.
how to reverse a rack:
1. Pull out to Lock Stop position, tilt upward, and pull for-
ward until clear of oven.
2.
Turn rack over, end over end, making sure that round bar
utensil stop at rear of rack is up .
3. Replace rack in desired glide position, reversing procedure
described in Step 1.
OVEN RACKS
(Models OA821, 08821, OC821)
The nickel-plated steel racks of your built-in oven are remova-
ble and there are seven rack positions , enabling you to adjust
racks to the position most suited to the food you are cooking.
The racks are equipped with a Lock-Stop ldevice which pre-
vents them being pulled from the oven accidentally. To remove ,
pull forward to the Lock-Stop. Then lift up on front edge to
release. Replac e by reversing this procedure .

R0 as t Guard(Models OAB30, OGB30)
If your new range is Model
OAB30 or OGB30 it has a fea-
ture no other range can offer .. .
the Roast Guard.
This is a truly amazing device.
It will simplify almost beyond
imagination the preparation of
oven cooked meats .
First of all , it takes the guesswork out of roasting . Never again
will you have an underdone roast or fowl. Never again will
you have a roast or fowl come out of the oven dried up, or
nearly burned. Never again will the roast you wanted to be
" rare" come out "well done."
More important. you will never have to worry when you
serve meat cooked with the Roast Guard. Dinner can be hours
late . .. but the rare roast beef you planned to serve at six
o'clock will
still be rare ... it will be at serving temperature.
juicy , of good texture and flavorful!
The conveniences are almost too num e rous to list .
Want to go downtown shopping? Put the meat in the oven
early, and connect the Roast Guard . Stay as long as you like.
The roast will be read:v whenever you are . . . and done just
as you prefer it .
Company for dinner dela y ed? Don 't worry about the roast
(or the turkey). The Roast Guard will keep it just the way
you want it . as long as necessary.
Not sure about how long the roast should take to be done
medium? The Roast Guard knows. It brings it to medium and
ke e ps it right th ere.
In short , with th e Roast Guard, you have nothing to do except
put the meat in th e _oven, connect the Roast Guard and set

Broiling
...
The
popularity
of
broiled
foods
has
grown
tremendously
in
recent
years,
and
you'll
be
able
to
prepare
out
-
standingly
flavorful foods
with
the

signed
and
proportioned
to
provide
uniform
heat
over
the
entire
area
of
the
broiler
pan
(see

Surface
Cooking
Surface
cooking
on
your
Westinghouse
is
fast
, cool
and
economical.
All
surface
units
are
high-speed
Corox®
units
which
attain
cooking
temperatures
quickly
. Cooking is cool
because
the
heat
goes
directly
into
the
utensils
and
the
food,
not
into
the
outside
air
.
-surface
cooking
is economical
because
on
all
except
the
"High"
setting
(used
only
to

you
cook
on
stored
heat,
with

off,

Each
surface

has
its
own
control
;
marked
with
fiv~
different
heat
settings.
Each
setting
is for a
different
type
of
cooking.
But
you
can
"fine
tune"
for
any
exact
degree
of
heat
you
want
between
the
settings
.
For
example,
you
may
prefer
fried
chicken
done
a
little
darker
or
lighter
than
the
recom-
mended
"Medium"
heat
gives you.
Simply
turn
the
Control
up
or
down
a
bit
.
The
slightest
change
increases
or
decreases
the

This
"fine-tuning"
feature
may
be
employed
anywhere
on
the
dial
between
"Simmer"
and
"High."
To
turn
on

.
Medium-used
for foods
normally
cooked
in
a
double
boiler.
Ideal
for
pancakes
and
Southern
fried

Low-used
to
maintain

The
Westinghouse
Safety-Matic
Surface
Unit
makes
every
utensil
(even glass)
auto-
matic-won't
let
foods boil
dry
.

If you should be called away from the kitchen and a pan
should boil dry, the Safety-Matic Unit will reduce the heat
input and prevent the food from burning.
After you have set the control, the unit conies quickly up to
the temperature you have selected. Thereafter, the sensing
device (bright metal cap in center of unit) controls the input
of heat to maintain that temperature, automatically prevent-
ing overcooking . Since the Safety-Matic Unit eliminates burn-
ing , it also eliminates the need for a great deal of scrubbing
and scouring of utensils.
Safety-Malic unit control
The Safety-Matic unit control is clearly marked for
two "zones" of cooking-boiling and frying. The
portion of the control marked with the solid line is
the "Boil Zone." The "Fry Zone" is indicated by the
broken line. As with other surface unit controls, you
can "fine-tune" the Safety-Matic unit to give the
precise cooking speed you want.
Care of Your Oven
Up to this point, this book has concerned itself with how you
use your Westinghouse Built-in Oven and Platform.
But just as important , you'll want to know how to care for
them-how to keep them clean and in perfect condition.
You'll find this easy to do ... Westinghouse has made easy
cleaning a major feature of its ranges.
To give you complete access to the oven interior, the oven
door on Models OAB30, OBB30 , OGB30, and OHB30 is com-
pletely removable . It's easy to take off and just as easy to
replace. Oven Racks and Oven Heaters on all models are com-
pletely removable.

Removing Oven Door (Models OA83o, o883o, oG83o, oH830l
To remove the oven door, follow these simple steps, making
sure first that the door is cool enough to handle:
1. Open the door to the
broiler stop.
2. Grasp the door at both sides, slightly below the
handle. Lift upward (about two inches), tilting the
top of the door inward. Bottom of door will lift off
of the hinge blades.
NOTE: Lay the door flat on a counter or table until you are ready to clean
it. (Don't lean it against a cabinet or table or chair leg-if it should
slip to the floor, you might damage it or chip the porcelain.)

Replace the oven He aters first. Simply slide them into place
and push firmly, to make sure that heater plugs are connected .
Make sure the top heater rests properly in the glides on either
side of the oven .
Now replace the racks. Tilt the end of the rack nearest you
slightly upward so the Lock Stop device slips into the glides.
Then push into place . Be sure that the round utensil stop at
the rear of the rack is up when replacing rack.
If yours is a Rotisserie model oven, you'll find it easier to put
the center grid in place after first replacing the frame.
Replacing Oven Door
(Models OAB30, OBB30, OGB30, OHB30)
Replace the oven door , making sure hinge blades are at the
broiler stop. Here are the steps:
. Grasp door at both sides, just
below handle, as you did in re-
moving it-with top edge of door
approximately even with the top
of the oven hood.
. Lower the door into place on the
hinge blades. Door will then be
firmly supported on hinges.
2. Guide hinge slot on left side of
door over tip of left hinge blade.
Then, keeping door parallel to
oven opening, guide hinge slot on
right side of door over right hinge
blade .

Placing one hand lightly at center
of top of door, push at center of
bottom edge with the other hand
until you hear a slight click.

Care of Surface Platforms
Every Westinghouse Built-in Platform has a beautiful and
lasting finish, whether it is Stainless Steel, Brushed Chrome,
or Confection Color. It can be kept clean by wiping it regu-
larly with a soft cloth wrung from warm, soapy water. If you
wipe off spatters and spillovers promptly , it will never be
necessary to scour or scrub. If platform is Stainless Steel, or
Brushed Chrome, we recommend the occasional use of a
silicone treated cloth (of the type used to polish automobiles) .

Food spilled on a hot Corox surface unit will burn itself off.
Food spilled on a cool unit may be wiped off with a damp cloth .
CAUTION: Never immerse surface units in water .
