Installation Electric Power Supply Requirements Your range must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition). In Canada, electrical grounding must be in accordance with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Grounding • • • The power cord is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electrical shock hazard from the range. All cord connected appliance shall include instructions relative to location of the wall receptacle and a warning to the user to disconnect the electrical supply before serving the appliance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS • When all connections have been made, check that all range controls are in the “off” position and turn on the main gas supply valve. • Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacture’s instructions .Use some soap water (50% water and 50% soap) or a leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system. Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
COOKTOP OPERATION Surface Burner Ignition 1 Push to release gas. 2 Turn to Ignite and ‘Hi’ position. 3 Adjust to appropriate flame height. To light the surface burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to a “Hi” position. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. Once burner ignition has been achieved, turn the burner control knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at “Hi”, it will continue to click.
Cooktop Operation Simmer and Boil • A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise cooking performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for cooking that need to cook over low heat for a long time. The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your range. This setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling and pasta cooking.
Cooktop Operation Oven Vent Do not block the ducts at the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air into the oven burner never be interrupted. Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation – they may become hot. • ! WARNING FOOD SAFETY According to the United States Department of Agriculture: DO NOT hold foods at temperatures between 40oF to 140oF more than 2 hours.
Oven Operation Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil lining may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use Aluminum Foil on any porcelain surface.
Convection Roast The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Using the cover and broiler pan provided, heated air will be circulated over the around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product, while at the same time creating a rich golden brown exterior. When convection roasting, it is important that you use the broiler pan for best convection roasting results.
Broiler Operation Note: Door must be closed during broiling operation. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the infrared broiler in the oven . Broiling in the oven is accomplished with the oven door closed. It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give the food a broiled flavor. Preheating Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (Remove the broiler pan before preheating with the infrared broiler. Foods will stick on hot metal).
Griddle Operation Before Using the Griddle 1. Clean the griddle thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove dust or any protective coating. 2. Rinse with clean water and wipe off to dry with soft, clean, lint-free towel/cloth. 3. A stainless steel cover that is sized to fit on top of the surface when the griddle is not being used is provided. Please note – the cover must be removed before turning the griddle on. 4. Make sure the grease tray is under the front edge of the griddle.
Care and Cleaning Cooktop • To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off all controls and ensure the cooktop is cool before cleaning. • Before cleaning the cooktop, ensure that all burners are turned off and that all components are cool enough to safely touch. • Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, polishes, or commercial cooktop cleaners to clean the cooktop. • Use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush, and nylon pad for cleaning.
Care and Cleaning Metal Finishes • Wash with soap and water, glass cleaner, or mild liquid sprays. Plastic Finishes • When control panel trim and end caps are cool, clean with soap and water, rinse and dry. • Use a glass cleaner and soft cloth. Oven Racks • Clean oven racks with solution of detergent and hot water. To clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. Oven Frame • Clean with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleaners.
