Custom Imperial AMR-40 and AMR-30,

It's easier to use and gives you better results than any range you ever used. And it's easy to clean, too. No longer need you stand at your range and stir foods as they cook. No longer will you have to guess or peek, to see whether foods are done. Nor will you ever need to worry about baking-you'll get perfect results every time in your Westinghouse Oven. There's a new accuracy in surface cooking, too. Of course, there are marked heats on the control of each surface unit. But you have your choice of a~y heat you want between those settings-literally, 1001 heats, so that your favorite dishes come out exactly as you want them. The purpose of this book is to tell you how to use your Westinghouse Range to get the perfect results it can give you. So, please read these instructions carefully, and follow them faithfully. Then you'll be assured of years of wonderful service and more pleasure in cooking than you've ever known before. |

1958-1959 Westinghouse Built-in Cooktop and Oven Owners Manual
Here are the owners manuals to the 1958 and 1959 line of Westinghouse Built-in Ranges (Cooktops and Ovens). Models include:
Cooktops: PJ-66, PJ-68,
Built-in Ovens: OL-17, OL24, OLR-17, OLR-24 With your Westinghouse Built-in Range you'll enjoy a new degree of cooking convenience. You'll be delighted at the way your favorite recipes turn out-and you'll be equally pleased with the wonderful way your new oven and surface units take the work out of cooking. There are two styles of Westinghouse built-in ovens, as well as three different surface cooking units. This booklet illustrates all styles and gives detailed instructions on how to use and care for them. So, we suggest that you read this book carefully and familiarize yourself with the features of your oven and your surface unit. Then you'll know how to make the best use of them. As you may notice in the illustrations, the main difference in Westinghouse built-in ovens is the size. Westinghouse surface cooking platforms were designed for versatility-one platform has four Corox surface units, while each of the others has two surface units and separate remote control panel. But, regardless of which oven or which style surface units you are using, you'll get best results every time, if you follow the directions given for their use. And you can be certain they'll serve you a long, long time, if you care for them as suggested in this booklet. |

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. |

Beautiful 1962 Kelvinator Washer Brochures

Kelvinator has used the name "Golden Touch" to describe its remarkable and exclusive agitator action which combines vigorous water turbulence with gentle handling of clothes to produce the cleanest washing available to the modern housewife. The Kelvinator agitator moves with an eccentric motion in one direction only, as 180 scientifically placed holes in the agitator create thousands of jets of sudsy water per minute. This combination of one-direction agitator motion and water-jet turbulence produces the tremendous agitator action we call the "Golden Touch." |

Servicing Solid State Controls on the Lady Kenmore Washer
Here is an important manual for anyone who has vintage electronic control Kenmore or Whirlpool belt-drive washers. The manual specifically covers the 1980 Lady Kenmore, but I suspect many of the theories and processes extended out to other electronic control Whirlpool and Kenmore washers around this period. Pictures and explanations go along with each section. Sections include Operating the Machine, Cycle charts, explanations of how each button effects the cycle, how the system and relays work, diagnosing trouble and servicing. Also tips on how to run the hidden test cycles and tips such as: The machine suds saver saves only 18 gallons of suds or rinse water unless converted. Because this machine is equipped with a suds level pressure switch, only 18 gallons of water will be saved, both suds and rinse. If the customer wants all of the water saved, the suds level switch must be bypassed . We will cover that in later frames. |
