Anyone on DU have a vintage kitchen? Need help with instructons.

My daughter bought an oldish house with a wonderful Caloric wall oven w/Broiler and a great stove top .
I cleaned them up for her and find that some of the functions are not clear to us.

The link I forward shows the stove and wall oven. My daughters is coppertone, not pink.

Anyone have one of these ovens or know of a source where I can get instructions?
Cannot seem to find anything online that will help.
Thanks fore any help.

It's a forum. You probably have to register as a user, but people have posted questions and gotten replies (mostly on dishwashers). Give it a shot, but have the model number ready. I can't make heads or tails out of the controls in the pictures - like what are the dials in the colored hourglasses? The dial on the right looks like a timer. Left might be the temperature setting. Both of those should be obvious.

I have a friend who loves vintage kitchen appliances. I don't know if he would know anything about the specific ones you have but he might, and he's also a master at finding out information about them.

Can you post the model/serial number, etc?

And also any specific questions that you have about them - what functions you have questions about?

And I'll forward the information and ask him to find out w hat he can.
