WHY GAS SELF CLEAN?

Because the benefits are boundless! Natural gas
and LPG are “clean and green” being a readily
available natural resource that is energy efficient
and environmentally friendly. In fact, we have
enough of this natural resource to power the world
for hundreds of years. And did you know that gas
powered ovens are less expensive to operate than
electric ovens?

POWER-FLO™ BURNERS

These versatile burners are the most advanced
burners available in the industry. They allow
simmering from 140 degrees to a powerful 19,000
BTUs. Not only are they powerful, but they are
energy efficient, and environmentally conscious.
The Power-Flo™ burners use
LESS gas at higher BTUs, thus
saving on precious natural
resources, while delivering
astounding levels of power and
control.

POWER-WOK BURNER

Our incredibly powerful wok
burner generates 30,000 BTUs.
A cast iron, porcelain coated
two piece wok grate allows you
to accommodate a variety of
Wok sizes or stock pots.

INFRA-Q™: (FOR GSCR AND GRT MODELS ONLY)

Now you can have true restaurant quality steaks
a n d s e a r e d A h i i n t h e c o mfo r t o f y o u r
own kitchen. Capital’s exclusive
Infra-Q™ infrared-BBQ Grill
system utilizes 18,000 BTUs
and sears up to 1800 degrees,
while allowing you the control
to safely cook vegetables,

and fish all on the same burner. Features our
exclusive Tru-Side™ grates that help reduce
flare-ups, and channel grease away from the
burner.

TRADITIONAL BBQ-GRILL (GCR MODELS ONLY)

The Precision Gas Convection Ranges (Manual
Clean), feature our exclusive BBQ-Grill w/ Tru­Side™ stainless steel channeling grates, that
help reduce flare-ups by channeling the grease
away from the burner. The stainless radiant
trays promote evenness of heat, which means
no more cold spots. The lifetime stainless steel
burner generates a powerful
18,000 BTUs. Plenty of
performance to cook a vast
array of cuisine, from juicy
steaks, to vegetables.

THERMO-GRIDDLE™

Our solid stainless steel thermostatically
controlled griddle plate gives you price control
over the griddle area. From
18,000 BTUs on 12” griddle
sections and 30,000 BTUs

FLEX-ROLL™ OVEN RACKS (SELF CLEAN ONLY)

Our patent pending Flex
Roll™ oven racks provide the
smoothest, most effortless range
of motion in any oven EVER
manufactured!

INFRA-BROIL™

Our gas infrared broiler beneath
glass generates 18,000 BTUS
of power. And the radiant glass
makes clean-ups a snap! (Note:

24” range does not feature
glass infrared broil.)

STAY-KOOL™ KNOBS

Our restaurant grade, die cast
chrome plated metal knobs
feature bold red graphics for
easy readings of settings, and
plastic inserts that stay cooler
to the touch when using your
range. (Available in Black or Red.)

WHY GAS SELF CLEAN?
Because the major by-product of burning gas is
water (H2O). Our gas ovens, therefore, naturally
create a moisture laden cooking environment which
is why roasts, cakes, cookies and desserts retain
their moisture during the cooking process. The result
is more flavorful, moist AND healthier cuisine.

Cooking with gas...
What a Capital idea!

in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch
hot elements, hot burners, or burner grates.

• FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, wear proper apparel.
Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should
never be worn while using this appliance. Some
synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should
not be worn while cooking.

• DO NOT use aluminum foil as a shield against
food spills or drippings around the burners or
control panel area. This could obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilated air. This can damage
the finish of the range.

WARNING! This appliance is for cooking! Based
on safety considerations, never use the range to
warm or heat a room. Such use can damage the range.

• DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE
IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREAS adjacent to
the burners. When in use these areas may become
hot enough to cause burns.

• NEVER leave the range unattended when using
high flame settings. Boil-overs cause smoking
and greasy spills that may ignite. More importantly,
if the burner flames are smothered, unburned
gas will escape into the room. See inside front
cover regarding gas leaks.

• ONLY certain types of glass, heat proof glass­ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range use. This type

of utensil may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings
according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.

• DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD CONTAINERS.
A buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst.

• DURING COOKING, set the burner control so that
the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and
does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

• USE CAUTION to ensure that drafts like those
from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable
materials toward the flames or push the flames so
that they extend beyond the edges of the pot.

• ALWAYS use utensils that have flat bottoms, large
enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized
utensils could expose a portion of the flame and
may result in ignition of clothing.

• TO MINIMIZE BURNS, ignition of flammable
materials and unintentional spills, position handles
of utensil inward so that it does not extend over
adjacent work areas, cooking areas or the edge
of the range.

• HOLD THE HANDLE of the pan to prevent
movement of the utensil when stirring food.

POWER-FLO™ BURNERS

Your new gas range is equipped with the latest in
burner technology. The Power-Flo™ burners are

designed for maximum control and the precise use
of heat where it matters most. The large top-cap
spreads the simmer flame over the bottom of a pot
to avoid too much heat being concentrated in the
center, thus avoiding burning of delicate sauces.
The flame ring at the bottom stabilizes the main
ports so as to achieve higher heat and maintain
proper combustion of the burners, leading to greater
efficiency and no yellow tips. It is always ON when
the burner is in use. The burner should never be
operated if the cap is not in place.

All the range-top burners have electronic spark
ignition to eliminate continuously burning pilots.
When the main burner flame is blown out, it will relight.

SIMMERING

Your new range-top has exceptionally low simmering
capabilities. The large cap serves as a heat diffuser to
spread out the heat to avoid having a center hot spot.
keep in mind that because of the high heat capacity
of the outer burner, and the mass of the burner grates
(they retain heat longer than lighter, conventional
grates), some foods may continue to cook by retained
heat after the burner has been turned off.

ELECTRONIC IGNITERS

If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking
sound. If the burner does not click, TURN OFF
BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown
fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If the igniter still
fails to operate, see page 19 “Troubleshooting”,
“Before calling For Service”.

NOTE: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop
flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds
after the burner has been turned “off”. This
“extinction pop” is normal for propane gas.

BURNER EFFICIENCY AND
FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the
igniters clean for proper lighting and efficient
performance of the range-top burners.

The burner flame should burn completely around
the burner with no excessive noise or lifting. The
flame should be blue in color and stable with no
yellow tips.

FLAME HEIGHT

The correct height of the flame mainly depends on
the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil, the
material of the cooking utensil, the amount and
type of food and the amount of liquid in the utensil.
Following are some basic rules for selecting
flame height.

For safety reasons the flame must never
extend beyond the bottom of the cooking
utensil. Never allow flames to curl up the
of the pan.

Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such
as glass-ceramic) should be used with
medium to low flames. If you are cooking
with a large amount of liquid, a larger flame
can be used.

When using the simmer, turn the main burner knob
down to the simmer position. Should a strong draft
or boil over extinguish the simmer flame it will relight
automatically as the main burner would.

An improper air–gas mixture may cause either a
burner flutter or a yellow tipped flame. A technician
should adjust the flame. During initial use, foreign
particles in the gas line, or dust in the air around

U S I N G T H E R A N G E T O P

BURNER SETTINGS

The rangetop burners have an infinite number of
heat setting and there are no fixed positions on the
control knobs between HI and SIMMER. To turn the
rangetop burner on, push in on the control knob and
turn it counterclockwise to the “LITE” position. An
audible clicking sound will be heard. When the gas
has been ignited by the electronic spark igniter, turn
the knob to the desired setting.

Note: If the Igniter continues to click after the
burner has been lit, turn the knob to a setting other
than LITE, or HI. If the problem still persists,
please call our Service Hotline at 866-402-4600.

CAUTION! When turning on any RANGETOP
burner, be sure to stop at the “LITE” position
before turning the burner to a flame setting for
cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned
beyond the “LITE” position, to HI, MEDIUM, or
LO, there will be a burst of flame when the burner
does light. This could cause burns or damage to
the surrounding counter top.

BURNER GRATES

The burner grates are a heavy cast iron. They were
designed in sections to make them easier to remove
and clean.

PROPER COOKING UTENSILS

For best results we recommend using Professional
Cookware. This type of utensil can be found at your

finer department stores, specialty cooking shops, or
restaurant supply stores. If using regular cookware
be very careful if pans have plastic handles, as our
Power-Flo™ burners can flame up on the outside of
the pan and melt or bubble the handles.

THE CONTROL KNOBS

The control knobs are readily associated with the
burners they control. The RANGETOP control knobs
are labeled and in front of the burners. The oven
control is placed slightly higher than the other
control knobs. This is due to the physical size of the
commercial type thermostats used on the product.

CAUTION!

• Use ex tr eme care wh en pl acing th e grill
components into the grill compartment Avoid
contacting the ceramic igniter that could break,
preventing operation of the grill.

• Do not leave the grill unattended while in use.

• Do not use charcoal briquettes, ceramic plates, or

coals of any kind.

After removing all packaging materials, check to
be certain that the grill components are correctly
assembled in the grill box. The grill grates and
the burner are assembled in the grill box from
the factory.

Note: Your grill racks are constructed from stainless
steel and electro-polished to achieve a brilliant
finish. After the first use, discoloration will occur.
This is natural and unavoidable.

USING THE POWER-FLO™ WOK SECTION

Depending on your model size, your Precision Series
Self Clean Ranges are equipped with a Power-Flo™ wok
burner. On the 36”, 48” and 60” models the BTU rating
for this burner is 30,000 BTU’s. On the 30” five burner
model, the BTU rating is 25,000 BTU’s.

Wok cooking, or stir-fry cooking, requires intense,
searing heat for cooking. The Power-Flo™ Wok system
is perfectly designed to deliver high intense heat, by
spreading the flame under the diameter of the wok pan.
The flame ring at the bottom stabilizes the main burner
ports so as to achieve higher heat and maintain proper
combustion of the burners, leading to greater efficiency
and no yellow tips. It is always ON when the burner is
in use. The burner should never be operated if the cap
is not in place.

All the range-top burners have electronic spark ignition
to eliminate continuously burning pilots. When the main
burner flame is blown out, it will relight.

If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking
sound. If the burner does not click, TURN OFF
BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown
fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If the igniter still

may occur at the burner ports a few seconds after
the burner has been turned “off”. This “extinction
pop” is normal for propane gas.

COOKING ON THE INFRA-Q™ (infrared BBQ Grill)
FOR GSCR AND GRT ONLY

The burner should light within approximately 5 seconds.

• Preheat the grill for approximately 5 minutes
minimum. The hot grill sears the food, sealing in
the juices.

• The longer the preheat time, the faster the meat
browns and the darker the brand marks.

• Grilling requires high heat for optimum results.
High heat is necessary for searing and proper
browning. Most foods are cooked at medium
heat settings for most of the cooking time.
However, when grilling large pieces of meat or

poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to
a lower setting after the initial browning. This
cooks the food through without burning the outside.

• Foods cooked for a long period of time or basted
with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat
setting near the end of the cooking time.

• After grilling and the food has been removed, turn
the knob to HI and burn off any excess grease that
may have accumulated on the burner.

• Use a brass wire brush, dipped in hot water, to

loosen food particles from the grate.

• When the grill has cooled, clean the drip tray,

and compartment.

• If a layer of ash has deposited on the ceramic
burner plates, simply brush ash to the back. It will
collect into the drip pan tray for safe and easy
clean-ups.

• If ash is particularly thick and impedes the airflow
of the burner and prevents safe and efficient lighting
of the burner, when burner is cool, use a handheld
vacuum cleaner and quickly vacuum away the ash.

Note: The Standard BBQ is only available on GCR
or Non Self Clean Ranges.

COOKING ON THE STAINLESS STEEL BBQ

The burner should light within approximately 5 seconds.

• Preheat the grill for approximately 10 minutes
minimum. The hot grill sears the food, sealing in
the juices. The longer the preheat time, the faster
the meat browns and the darker the brand marks.

• Grilling requires high heat for optimum results.
High heat is necessary for searing and proper
browning. Most foods are cooked at higher heat
settings for most of the cooking time. However,
when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may

be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting
after the initial browning. This cooks the food
through without burning the outside.

• Foods cooked for a long period of time or basted
with a sugary marinade may need a lower
heat setting near the end of the cooking time.

• After grilling and the food has been removed,
turn the knob to HI and burn off any excess grease
that may have accumulated on the stainless steel radiant.

• Use a brass wire brush, dipped in hot water, to
loosen food particles from the grate.

• When the grill has cooled, clean the drip tray,
radiant, heat deflector and compartment. Wipe
the U-shaped burner with a damp cloth.

CAUTION!

• Use extreme care when placing the grill components
into the grill compartment. Avoid contacting
the ceramic igniter that could break, preventing
operation of the grill.

• The grill must be assembled as shown. The drip
tray heat shields must be in place, and the burner
must be properly positioned relative to the gas
supply. Incorrect assembly of the grill may result in
unsafe or hazardous conditions during operation.

• Do not leave the grill unattended while in use.

• Do not use charcoal briquettes, ceramic plates, or
coals of any kind.

After removing all packaging materials, check to
be certain that the grill components are correctly
assembled in the grill box. The grill grates, stainless
steel radiant and the burner are assembled in the
grill box from the factory. Please see below for
correct parts associated with the grill box.

Note: Your grill racks are constructed from stainless
steel and electro-polished to achieve a brilliant finish.
After the first use, discoloration will occur. This is
natural and unavoidable.

GRILLING SUGGESTIONS

• Trim any excess fat from the meat before cooking.
FATTY MEATS increase the likelihood of flare-ups.
Cut slits in the remaining fat around the edges at
2” (51 mm) intervals.

• Brush on basting sauces towards the end of cooking.

• Add seasoning or salt after grilling. Early salting
dries out meat.

• Use a spatula or tongs instead of a fork to turn the
meat. A fork punctures the meat and lets the
juices flow out.

• After the juices begin to bubble to the surface,
turn the meat only once. This helps keep the
juices in the meat.

• Some pieces of meat and poultry cook faster than
others. Move those pieces to the cooler area of the
grill until the rest have finished.

• The doneness of meat is affected by the thickness
of the cut. Chefs say it is impossible to have a rare
doneness with a thin cut.

TRU-SIDE ™ GRILL RACKS

• The grill racks are double sided, two position
grates, constructed of pure stainless steel. Us
the concave side (channels up) for meats of
higher fat content (Steaks, hamburgers, sausage
patties, etc.); use the convex side (channels
down) with foods of lesser fat content (fish,
vegetables, fruits, etc.)

WARNING! Do not leave the BBQ section
unattended while cooking!
