Hello!

I received the Chambers Operating Guide/Cookbook and was blown away. I read it twice to make sure I was reading it right. Can you imagine all the gas I wasted for 15 years? I used to run that gas for hours in the oven. My husband was very impressed and so were my grown daughters who are the ones that do most of the cooking now.

Thank you so much!

THANK YOU!!!! I tried everywhere to find this book or a copy of it.
Tappan could only go back to 1966 (no help at all). The stove was in working
order when it was disconnected last so now I hope to get it started without
blowing up my house. You are a life saver!!!!!!!!
Thanks again,
