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. |
