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-

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
