Louis, I only saw the one picture. How can you tell it has the separate broiler compartment and not a second oven? It looks kinda dirty on the control panel. |

If you look towards the right of the stove, you'll notice 2 indicators right above the oven knob and the automatic burner knob. To my knowledge, Caloric never used one for the Ultra ray broiler knob. If it were a second oven, logic would suggest there would be an indicator above the knob.

Thank you, Louis! I must admit that I treated gas stoves as untouchable outcasts so I did not absorb the finer points about them. What are the marking on the indicators, please?
Thank you for sharing your deep knowledge. |

The little indicator tabs above the oven thromostat and burner-with-a-brain are just reference marks to help you set the temperature precisely, Louis is correct the the Ultra-Ray broiler would not have the indicator because the URB control is just like a burner knob where you can't set the heat exactly [ generally a problem with most gas ranges compared to electric ranges ]
This would be a really fun vintage range with great style, John L. |
