This booklet has been prepared to tell you in detail about those features and many more that make the Continental such a fine electric range. So, to make sure that you know all about these features, and use them to the very best advantage, please read this book carefully before you use your Continental Range the first time and refer to it often, until you’re entirely familiar with every phase of its operation. Then you'll be sure of perfect results every time. |
