Restoring the Stove

Laura wrote to me about the Tappan stove that was in the kitchen of the house she bought in Tucson, Arizona. It's a Tappan Deluxe model # HAV 668 15G, Serial 206418. She described it as being in fair shape and working, but very dirty inside.  She is now in the process of cleaning the stove and replacing some of the missing parts.

She has pryrogrates in the back burners, a nice chrome oven interior, Time Control clock, a foot pedal to open the broiler, a nice set of crisper drawers, both of the burner covers stored in the side doors, a pull out storage drawer and a pull out cutlery drawer.  It's a cute stove that should clean up very well.









Thanks, Laura!

  1. It appears that this stove has the contro-lo front burners but not the matching grates. Could this be yet another configuration?

    1. I have one in my garage a 1960's deluxe tappen gas stove, my Dad bought one for my mother when they got married back in 1960's. The one I have has the drawers and the dials light up around the turning knobs. If this helps.

  7. We have a tappan delux 1950s in a house we bought and rented. It has been neglected but I need some info on how to clean the burners themselves. I can't seem to get the oven to light. It is a great stove and I hate to give up on it. I have cleaned a lot but don't want to spend more time or energy on it for nothing. Thanks.
