I just moved into an older mobile home here in CA and it has a double gas oven built by O'keefe & Merritt but came with no instructions on how to use can any one help me out? I was told that the lower half is for broiling and the top half for baking but it has no pre-heat light and does not seem to broil very well. Any help would be extremly wonderful, thanks
Sorry the product name is not right there was no O'keefe & Merritt but I was still hoping someone may have heard of them.
Has anyone got an instruction manual for stoves double oven
I have an O'Keefe & Merritt double oven gas stove. The model
number is 72 7242 23. The upper oven is about the size of a large
microwave and sits above the range burners. The lower (full-size)
oven is below the burner unit and includes a broiler draw below it.
So, when you say, double oven, I wonder if you are just talking about
the main oven with broiler drawer (both of which are below the burner
unit.)
Mine was a builder-supplied appliance in the new house we purchased in
1986. The upper oven has never performed very well. And,
yes the upper oven can only be used for baking.
I have an instruction manual for it, but it doesn't provide that much
information. Getting parts for it is extremely difficult, since
Tappan is no longer manufacturing this brand. (I've been trying
to locate a flat oven ignitor for the upper oven and can't seem to find
a replacement that's the same 6-1/3" length.) In the 1980s Tappan
apparently purchased O'Keefe & Merritt and marketed this brand for
several years. Models originally manufactured by O'Keefe
& Merritt in the 1930s-1950s are considered collectible antique
stoves!
