Reader Question

This afternoon, Tappan Talk received the following reader question:

"I have the Tappan AV 669 CP, just restored to the point of turning on the gas & lighting up the pilots!


In cleaning the oven, I notice a rod, the thermostat sensor, I think? is detached from the oven back wall. The holding clips are still attached to the rod, but I see no way to secure them into the holes provided - they apparently *don't* screw in .. how did these clips attach, anyone?"

 First, congratulations on restoring your stove!  I've attached photos I have of the oven burner of a non-CP (which may or may not make a difference depending on what part you are talking about) stove. This is the inside of the oven with the oven floor and baffle removed.

Readers: any help/advice to add?

Let me know if this helps. If not, we can try to solicit photos from some of Tappan Talk's CP & AV 669 readers....

Care of Oven

I was surprised at how easy it was to clean the oven. Following the diagram, you can lift out the oven bottom and oven baffle for cleaning.  This also makes it pretty easy to clean both the oven and broiler interiors.
