Getting Started WAR N IN G Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the appliance. ALWAYS contact the manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.
Getting Started Warnings --To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage Cooking Safety • Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it. • Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials. • If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners. • NEVER leave any items on the rangetop.
Getting Started Warnings Cooking Safety (cont.) Cleaning Safety • Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device.
Getting Started Before Using Rangetop Surface Operation All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the rangetop thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There may be some burn off and odors on first use of the appliance—this is normal. Our rangetops are equipped with an exclusive restaurant style sealed burner system.
Surface Operation Surface Operation Surface Heat Settings* Vari Simmer™ Setting Simmering is a cooking technique in which foods are cooked in hot liquids kept at or just barely below the boiling point of water. Simmering ensures gentler treatment than boiling to prevent food from toughening and/or breaking up. The size of the pan and the volume of food can have a significant effect on how high or low a flame is needed for simmering.
Griddle/Simmer Plate Griddle/Simmer Plate The optional 15,000 BTU griddle is constructed of machined steel with a chrome finish and is uniquely designed to offer excellent cooking performance as well as easy clean up. The griddle is equipped with an electronic thermostat to maintain an even temperature across the griddle once the desired temperature has been set. The griddle has a power “ON” indicator light which glows when the griddle thermostat has been turned on.
Cleaning and Maintenance Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. The range must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position. Disconnect power if cleaning thoroughly with water. Cleaning Tip: For difficult to clean burner caps and heads, place parts in a zip seal bag with ammonia.
