Start Up
The motor on your range convection oven is maintenance
free since it is constructed with self-lubricating sealed ball
bearings. It is designed to provide durable service when
treated with ordinary care. We have a few suggestions to
follow on the care of your motor.
A. When the motor is operating, it cools itself internally by
air entering the rear of the motor case, provided proper
clearance has been allowed.
B. Since the blower wheel is in the oven cavity it is at the
same temperature as the oven. If the motor is stopped
while the oven is hot, the heat from the blower wheel is
conducted down the shaft and into the armature of the
motor. This action could shorten motor life.
C. We recommend, at the end of the bake or roasting
period, when the oven will be idle for any period of time
or before shutting down completely, that the doors
be left open, and by use of the cool-down position on
the fan switch, the fan continues to run for at least 20
minutes. The “FAN” should never be turned “OFF” when
the oven it “HOT”.

“RC” Convection Ovens
The forced air range oven consists of a food preparation
chamber completely sealed from the combustion area.
This eliminates the possibility of contamination from ue
products and permits an ecient method of circulating the
heated air within the cooking chamber.
During the cooking process in a conventional oven, a vapor
barrier and a layer of “cool” air covers the exposed area of
the product. In a forced air oven, the fan pushes the heated
air over and around the product, sweeping away the vapor
barrier and cool air, permitting faster heat penetration. This
action permits the use of lower temperatures and shorter
cooking times.
The rule of thumb for determining the cooking temperature
is to reduce the set temperature by approximately 80°F,
(28°C), from that which you would use in a conventional
oven, and that the product be checked at a point midway in
the time required in a conventional oven.

follow on the car of your motor.
A. When the motor is operating, it cools itself internally by
air entering the rear of the motor case, provided proper
clearance has been allowed.
B. Since the blower wheel is in the oven cavity it is at the
same temperature as the oven. If the motor is stopped
while the oven is hot, the heat from the blower wheel is
conducted down the shaft and into the armature of the
motor. This action could shorten motor life.
C. We recommend, at the end of the bake or roasting
period, when the oven will be idle for any period of time
or before shutting down completely, that the doors
be left open, and by use of the cool-down position on
the fan switch, the fan continues to run for at least 20
minutes. The “FAN” should never be turned “OFF” when
the oven is “HOT”.
Fryers and Broilers
Range-Match Broilers
To ensure long life and service, it is imperative that the
cooking surface be carefully broken in or “seasoned” in the
follow manner:
1. Set the power switch to the” COOK” position.
2. Turn the oven valve knob to the “ame” symbol.
1. Remove all factory applied protective material by
washing with hot water and a mild detergent or soap
solution. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Continued
2. Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the cooking surface.
Wipe away the excess.
3. Turn all the valves to a low setting and allow the grids to
heat slowly for 30 minutes. Allow the oil to remain on the
cooking surface for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, then
wipe o.
4. Reset valves to your desired operating temperature and
apply a second coat of oil.
Allow the broiler to reach the set temperature, wait an
additional 2 to 3 minutes, then wipe away the excess oil.
The broiler is now ready for use.
NOTE: Unless your products contain a sucient amount of
fat, the grid racks may require re-seasoning before use to
prevent sticking. Grid racks must be re-seasoned after every
cleaning.
Lighting Instructions
Model (H,S)280 – (18,24,30,36)B
1. One pilot serves two burners and is located between
those burners.
2. Push red spark buttons several times to ignite pilot
burners.
3. Ensure pilots are lit by viewing through pilot view hole on
front of unit.
Model ST280 – (18,24,30,36)B
1. Push in the valve knob and turn counter-clockwise to the
ignition position.
2. While holding the knob fully in, depress the ignitor
button and visually conrm that the pilot lights. If the
pilot does not light, repeatedly press the ignitor button
until ignition is achieved.
3. After the pilot is lit, continue to hold the valve knob in for
at least 20 seconds, then release it. If the pilot goes out,
wait ve, (5), minutes, then repeat the procedure.
6. To turn the burner o, push in and turn the valve knob to
the circular “OFF” symbol.
Shut down
1. Turn all gas valves o.
2. If the unit is to be shut down for an extended period of
time, turn the in-line service valve to the “OFF” position,
(this valve is not factory supplied).
Range-Match Fryers
Before Operating the Fryer
1. Before leaving the factory, the fryer was tested, and the
thermostat calibrated with oil in the fry tank; therefore it
is necessary to clean the fry tank before lling with frying
compound. Use detergent or other cleaning agents with
hot water. Thoroughly rinse and dry.
2. Never operate the pilot or burner with an empty fry tank.
It will only take a few minutes to ruin the tank and void
the warranty.
3. If the fryer is equipped with a cold-rolled steel fry tank,
and is not to be lled immediately after cleaning, coat
the entire tank surface with shortening or cooking oil to
prevent rusting.
Fryer Burner
The burner used in Starre Range-Match Series Fryers
is a patented design which requires no primary air; so
adjustment of primary air is not possible. When the proper
gas is supplied at the proper pressure, and the ceramic
targets are properly adjusted, combustion will begin about
even with the bottom of the ceramics. The characteristic
sound is a low roar, similar to a blow-torch.
NEVER throttle down the incoming gas in an eort to make
the ame burn directly on the orice.
Lighting Instructions
1. Before lighting the pilot, ll the fry tank with frying
compound.
4. When the pilot is established, push in the valve knob
again and turn it counter-clockwise to the full ame
position, igniting the main burner.
5. For low ame or simmer, push in the valve knob and turn
it to the low ame position.
2. Turn the thermostat to the “OFF” position. Depress and
turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” position. Wait ve
(5) minutes.
3. Turn the control knob to the “PILOT” position.
4. Push the control knob in and press the piezo ignitor.
Continue to hold the control knob in for about 60
seconds after the pilot is lit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Continued
5. If liquid frying compound is used., Turn the gas control
knob to the “ON” position, and set the thermostat to the
desired temperature.
6. If a hydrogenated, (solid), frying compound is used,
pack the fry tank with the compound and turn the gas
control knob to the “ON” position for approximately ve,
(5) seconds, then turn it “OFF” for approximately ten,
(10), seconds. Repeat turning the control knob “ON,” then
“OFF” until the frying compound is melted. If smoking
occurs during this process, the heat is being applied too
fast, scorching the frying compound. If the process is
continued in this way, permanent damage to the fry tank
may occur.
7. If the pilot goes out during this process, repeat the
procedure from step 2.
Shut down
For complete shut down, turn both the thermostat and the
gas control knob to the “OFF” position.
PRODUCT APPLICATION INFORMATION
General
The range is the workhorse of the kitchen because of its
versatility. Most frequently used in small applications, such as
cafes, schools, church kitchens, rehouses, and small nursing
homes where demands are less taxing. As a general rule of
thumb, one four to six burner range with a hot top will be
adequate for a restaurant seating 30 to 35.
The top of the range is designed for exibility and the
preparation of numerous dierent types of products. It may
be equipped with two, or even three dierent types of tops
and burners, depending on the menu needs. An operation
that cooks to order, or uses the range primarily as back-up
will nd that open burners will suit most of their needs.
Preparation of soups, stocks, or sauces is done on a hot top
where slow, even cooking is desirable.
Open Burners
The most traditional uses of open burners are sautéing, pan
frying, and small stock pot work. Short-term cooking is the
most ecient use for the open burner. Pans should cover
as much of the grate as possible to minimize heat loss. The
maximum stock pot size to be used on an open burner is 11
inches, (279mm), diameter. Open burners should be turned
o when not in use to conserve energy. Leaving a ame
burning is of no advantage since the heat is instantaneous.
Hot Tops
Hot tops are recommended where long-term stock pot
cooking is required for soups, sauces or stocks. Pots can be
placed anywhere on the hot top, rather than in one specic
position, as on an open burner. The maximum stock pot size
to be used on the hot top is 12 inches, (305mm), in diameter.
Heating larger quantities of food can be done more
eciently than heating small quantities. Pots and pans
should be covered whenever possible to reduce energy
consumption.
High acid sauces, such as tomato should be cooked in
stainless steel rather than aluminum to avoid chemical
reaction. Light colored sauces such as Alfredo may be
discolored by the use of aluminum, especially if stirred with
a metal spoon or whip. Saltwater shellsh may pit aluminum
pots if they are frequently used for this purpose
Recommended preheat time for a 12-inch, (305mm), hot top
section is 30 minutes. This will thoroughly saturate the metal
with heat. Hot tops are evenly heated, and have a smooth
surface so that pots may be moved easily to any position.
Pots must have a at bottom for maximum contact with
the hot top surface. Warped or dented pots will not transfer
heat evenly or eciently, wasting energy and resulting in
uneven cooking patterns. Roasting pans with straps should
not be used on a hot top because only the straps will touch
the heated surface and transfer will be minimal. During slow
times, group pots on one hot top section and turn o the
other section(s). This will conserve energy. If needed, the
other section(s). Will preheat in 10 to 15 minutes due to the
retained heat in the metal.
PRODUCT APPLICATION INFORMATION Continued
Griddle Tops
Griddle tops are designed to have food cooked directly on
the surface, for example hamburgers, eggs, pancakes, has
browns, etc. Do not put pots or pans on the griddle surface.
This will scratch or nick the surface, resulting in sticking and
scorching of product. Never salt food on a griddle because
this will cause a gummy residue to build up, making the
griddle more dicult to clean. Avoid hitting the griddle plate
with a spatula, as this will also nick the surface. The most
frequently used temperature range for griddles is 325° to
350°F, (163° to 177°C). Check and drain the grease drawer
frequently during heavy use to prevent overowing. Over
a period of time, some discoloration of the steel griddle
plate will occur. This will not aect performance. For best
cooking results, keep the griddle surface as clean and shiny
as possible.
Oven (Standard)
The temperature is automatically controlled by the
thermostat, so satisfactory results can be obtained with
condence again and again.
For best performance, these instructions should be followed:
A. Grid Shelves There are two shelf positions. The correct
shelf position should be decided by the size of the
product to be cooked. When the best position has been
determined, push the shelf fully into the oven until
contact with the back wall stops its movement.
B. Tray Size One cake tray up to 24 x 22 inches,
(610 x 560mm), can be placed on each shelf. Single trays
or dishes should be centered on the shelf. Trays must not
be allowed to overhand the shelf on any side, since this
will inhibit proper heat circulation.
Range Base Convection Oven
Generally, a temperature 25° to 50°F (-4° to 10°C), lower than
that specied in recipes for standard ovens should be used.
Cooking time may be reduced, depending on the product.
A 2% to 5% reduction in cook time is a general rule. Keep a
close check on any product being prepared for the rst time.
The size of the load, temperature of the product going in,
and moisture content are the major factors that inuence
necessary cook times and temperatures. Successfully
prepared products should be recorded with their times and
temperatures for future reference.
Preheat the oven thoroughly before loading. It will take
approximately 15 minutes for the oven to reach 350ºF, 177ºC.
Best results will be attained when the oven is allowed to
preheat for 30 minutes or more for thorough heat saturation.
Center the load on the oven racks to allow for proper heat
circulation around the sides. The oven will hold three, (3),
18” x 26”, (457mm x 660mm), sheet pans, six, (6), 12” x 20” x
2.5”, (305mm x 508mm x 64mm), steam table pans, or one,
(1) 17.75” x 25.75”, (451mm x 654mm), roast pan. Never place
pans directly on the oven bottom. Always use the lowest rack
position that will allow the heated air to circulate within the
oven cavity. Load and unload food as quickly as possible to
prevent excessive temperature drop. For even baking, avoid
using warped pans.
Do not use a deep pan for shallow cakes, cookies, etc., as heat
circulation across the top of these items is essential for even
browning. To prevent excessive shrinkage, roast meats at a low
temperature; 250°F, (121° to 163° C), When rethermalizing frozen
products, preheat the oven 50°F, (10°C), higher than the cooking
temperature to compensate for heat loss during and after
loading. Return the thermostat to the cooking temperature after
loading.
C. Preheat time Allow at least 45 minutes after turning on
the cold oven, with the thermostat set at the desired
temperature before loading with food. Load product
quickly and immediately close the door.
D. Thermostat The thermostat automatically controls the
heat to maintain the selected temperature.
To conserve energy, turn the oven o when not in use. If you
cover pans with aluminum foil, be sure to crimp it tightly
around the edges to prevent the foil from blowing o in the
oven. Any food or other matter which becomes lodged in the
fan must be removed as soon as the oven is cool.

Oven, (Standard and ‘RC’)
Pilot adjustment is made by turning the screw on the
adjusting valve located at the pilot outlet of the valve body
clockwise to decrease, or counter-clockwise to increase.
Range Match Broilers
1. The pilot adjusting valves are located on the manifold.
2. With the valve panel in place, the pilots can be adjusted
with a long, thin-bladed screwdriver inserted through the
small hole in the valve panel to obtain a 1 5/8”, (41mm),
ame.
Minimum Flame
Adjuster
1. Set gas tap to low position.
2. Connect a U-gauge manometer to the test nipple located
down-stream of the gas tap.
3. The manometer should read 1.8” WC for natural gas, or
8”WC for propane.
4. If the reading on the manometer does not agree with
the pressure specied in step 3, adjust by turning the
adjusting screw clockwise to reduce the pressure, or
counter-clockwise to increase.
ADJUSTMENTS Continued
Burner Gas / Air Adjustment
Variation in eld condition and/ or rough handling of the
equipment in transit may create the need for adjustment to
the primary burner air. Check operation and adjust as below
to provide a sharp blue ame at full rate, (valve open fully, or
thermostat calling for maximum gas ow).
On the burner, locate the air shutter, (at the end where the
burner orice enters). Loosen the locknut so that the air
shutter turns freely. Turn on the gas to the burner. Rotate the
air shutter to obtain the following:
a. Open, (Star), Burner – 1/2”, (13mm, stable, sharp inner
blue cones.
b. Hot tops & Griddles – 5/16”, (8mm) stable, sharp inner
blue cones.
c. Oven Burners – If the ames are soft, unstable, or
show yellow tipping, increase the amount of air by
opening the air shutter.
NOTE: The ame safety valve is a protective device which
allow gas to ow to the burner only when the pilot is burning,
(used on all models except H/P 280 Series)
A too loose or too tight connection of the thermocouple nut
to the automatic pilot valve can prevent the thermocouple
from activating the valve. The nut should be drawn up nger
tight, then tightened an additional 1/4-turn ONLY with a
wrench.
It is recommended that an automatic pilot test kit be used
to check the thermocouple and hood assembly of the safety
valve. A visual examination of the thermocouple lead should
be made to conrm that there are no cracks.
FDO Heavy Duty Oven control
The model FDO oven thermostat is a precision-made
instrument, carefully set at the factory to accurately control
oven temperatures from 150° to 500°F, (66° to 260°C). All
adjustments are accessible from the front of the appliance
after moving the dial. To remove the dial, grasp the outer
edges and pull straight out.

cover the entire length of the burner.
Calibration Instructions
Field calibration is seldom necessary and should not
be resorted to unless experience with cooking results
undoubtedly indicate that the control is not maintaining
the temperature for which the dial is set. To check oven
temperatures when calibrating, use only a reliable mercury
thermometer, or preferably an oven pyrometer. To check
calibration, proceed as follows:
1. Place the thermocouple of the test instrument or reliable
mercury thermometer in the center of the oven.
2. Turn the oven temperature control knob to 400°F, (204°C),
and allow the oven to cycle at least three times.

ADJUSTMENTS Continued
3. Continue to monitor the oven temperature, recording
the readings at 5 minute intervals until three successive
readings are within 5°F, (2°C), of each other.
If the temperature does not read within 15°F, (8°C), of the dial
setting, recalibrate as follows.
1. Remove the oven temperature control dial, making sure
the setting is not disturbed.
2. Hold the calibration plate, (located directly behind the
control dial), and loosen the two calibration lock screws
until the plate can be rotated independently of the
control.
3. Turn the calibration plate until the temperature indicated
on the plate corresponds with the reading on the test
instrument. Hold the plate in place and tighten the
screws rmly.
4. Repeat step 3 in the previous section, checking the
temperature to ensure the adjustment has been made
properly.
5. Replace the temperature control dial.
NOTE: If adjustment of the calibration plate is prevented by
the position of the lock screws, the screws can be moved to
other holes that have been tapped for them.
BJWA Griddle Thermostat
(H/P 280 Series Only)
When the griddle surface reaches the temperature for which
the dial is set the control cuts down the ow of gas to the
amount required to keep the griddle at that temperature.
The control must be adjusted to pass enough gas to keep the
entire burner ignited. To properly adjust the by-pass setting,
proceed as follows:
1. Light the burner by turning the dial fully “ON.”
2. After 5 minutes, turn the dial clockwise to a point slightly
past, (to the right of), the rst mark on the dial.

(NOTE: A drop of oil on the face of the disc will provide for
better contact.)
2. Turn ALL griddle control dials to 400°F, (240°C). allow the
temperature to stabilize by waiting for the thermostat(s)
to cycle three times before taking a temperature reading.
3. Check the temperature reading when the control cuts
down to by-pass, by placing the sensor rmly on the
griddle surface directly above the sensing bulb of the
control. Test instrument should read from 350° to 410°F,
(196° to 213°C). If the dial setting does not agree with
the test instrument reading within the above limits,
recalibrate.
NOTE: NO ATTEMPT SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALIBRATE
THE GRIDDLE CONTROL WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD IF
THE TEMPERATURE IS WITHIN ±20°F OF THE DIAL SETTING.
RECALIBRATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED IF THE CONTROL IS
FOUND TO BE INACCURATE BY MORE THAN ±20°F, AND LESS
THAN ±50°F. IF THE CONTROL IS FOUND TO BE INACCURATE
BY MORE THAN ±50°F DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD, THE

inoperative and the control should be replaced.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Seasoning
Griddle
A. Remove all factory applied protective material by
washing with hot water, mild detergent or soap solution.
B. Apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the griddle surface,
about one ounce per square foot of griddle surface.
Spread over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to
create a thin lm. Wipe o any excess oil with a cloth.
C. Light all burners, set a lowest possible setting. Some
discoloration will occur when heat is applied to steel.
D. Heat the griddle slowly for 15 to 20 minutes. Then wipe
away oil. Repeat the procedure 2 to 3 times until the
griddle has a slick, mirror like nish. Do this until you have
reached the desired cooking temperature.
IMPORTANT: Do not attain high (on valve control or 450° (on
thermostat control) during “break-in” period.
NOTE: Steel griddle surface will tone (blue discoloration)
from heat. This toning will not diminish function or operation
is not a defect.
Fryer Thermostat
Calibration
Field calibration is seldom necessary and should not
be resorted to unless experience with cooking results
undoubtedly indicate that the control is not maintaining
the temperature for which the dial is set. To check fryer
temperature for calibration, use a pyrometer.
1. Suspend the thermocouple in the center of the fry tank
approximately 3 inches, (756mm), deep.
2. Allow the burner to cycle at least four times.
3. The fourth time the burner cycles OFF, compare your
instrument reading with the thermostat setting.
The griddle will not require reseasoning if it is used properly.
If the griddle is over heated and product begins to stick to
the surface it may be necessary to repeat the seasoning
process again. If the griddle is cleaned with soap and water it
will be necessary to reseason the griddle surface.
Cast Iron top Grates
First, remove the cast iron top grates from the range. Wash
the cast iron top grates thoroughly with a mild soap and
warm water. Dry the cast-iron top grates thoroughly with a
clean cloth. Immediately after drying, season the top grates
lightly with a non-toxic oil, (Liquid vegetable oil or Pam spray
oil) WARNING; DO NOT SEASON THE TOP GRATES WHILE ON
THE RANGE TOP! Seasoning grates on the range top over an
open ame could cause a ash re. After seasoning, replace
the top grates onto the range. Turn all the range top sections
“ON LOW”. Allow the top sections to burn in this manner
for at least 20 minutes before using pots or pans on the top
grates. SEASONING OF THE TOP GRATES WILL BE REQUIRED
WHENEVER THEY HAVE BEEN CLEANED. FAILURE TO SEASON
GRATES WILL CAUSE RUSTING.
Cleaning
Painted Finishes
Establish a regular cleaning schedule. Any spills should be
wiped o immediately.

Part # 138683 (01/08)Page 21
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Continued
The oven should be permitted to cool down before cleaning
exterior surfaces.
1. Wipe exposed, cleanable surface when cool with a mild
detergent and hot water. Stubborn residue spots may be
removed with a light weight non metallic scouring pad.
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
2. Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent,
a soft cloth and hot water.
If necessary to use a nonmetallic scouring pad, always rub in
the direction of the grain in the metal to prevent scratching.
Use a water based stainless cleaner (Drackett Twinkle), if you
want a high shine.
Stainless Steel
For routine cleaning just wash with a hot water and
detergent solution. Wash just a small area at a time or the
water will evaporate leaving the chemicals behind causing
streaking.
Rinse the washed area with a clean sponge dipped in a
sanitizing solution and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth
before it can dry.
Use a paste (of water and a mild scouring powder) if you
have to, but never rub against the grain. All stainless steel has
been polished in one direction. Rub with the polish lines to
preserve the original nish. Then thoroughly rinse as before.
To prevent ngerprints there are several stainless steel
polishes on the market that leave an oily or waxy lm. Do not
use on surfaces that will be in contact with food.
Stainless steel may discolor if overheated. These stains can
usually be removed by vigorous rubbing with a scouring
powder paste. Use only stainless steel, wool or plastic tools if
necessary to scrape o heavy deposits of grease and oil. Do
not use ordinary steel scraper soft knives as particles of the
iron may become imbedded and ruse. STEEL WOOL SHOULD
NEVER BE USED.
Either a typical bleach solution or hot water can be used to
sanitize stainless steel with out harm.
Oven Interior (Porcelain Enamel)
NOTE: Disconnect line cord (if applicable from power supply
before cleaning or servicing.
1. Before cleaning oven interior, remove all oven racks
and guides (if “RC” base). Oven racks and guides can be
cleaned with a mild soap and warm water or run through
dish washer.
2. The porcelain interior can be cleaned with oven cleaners
such as “Easy-O, or “Dow Oven Cleaner”.
Follow product manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.
Oven Interior – Optional Continuous Clean
NOTE: Disconnect line cord (if applicable ) from power supply
before cleaning or servicing.
1. “Break-In-Period” – When the oven is new, operate the
oven for at least two hours at high heat, with the oven
empty, before normal cooking operation. Continue
preheating the oven for two hours prior to use during
the rst two weeks. During this break-In-Period. It is
important that the oven surfaces be kept clean of
excessive soiling due to spillage.
2. How to put “continuous cleaning” action to work: Each
day, after baking and roasting operations have ceased,
empty the oven turn the temperature control up to high
heat (500°). This high heat will accelerate the cleaning
action and reduce the time required to eectively clean
the oven. Usually the cleaning operation will take about
45 to 60 minutes.
3. Heavy Staining – When the oven appears soiled, due to
heavy staining. We suggest pre-heating the empty oven
each day for 1 or 2 hours (depending on the condition of
the oven) for eective results. Also, ordinary household
ammonia has proven to be eective in removing baked
on “soil” build-up, and has the benecial eect at keeping
the microscopic “pores” of the coating open and free to
perform its cleaning action. An occasional light swabbing
with household ammonia while the oven is at room
temperature will prove extremely benecial.
WARNING – Abrasives and Oven cleaners should not be used
– in order to maintain continuous cleaning action, it is very
important to avoid the use of abrasive materials such as steel
wool scouring pads, abrasive or sharp implements which can
cause permanent damage to the surface coating. In addition,
oven cleaners such as “Easy-O” or “Dow Oven Cleaner will
clog the “PORES” of the special coating and will retard the
cleaning action.
4. High temperature cleaning causes grease and food
residue to be reduced to a ne powder. After oven has
cooled, the powder should be brushed from the oven
cavity.
5. Period “Tune-Up” – Although the oven appears clean, we
recommend operating the oven at high heat for 2 hours
approximately once each month. This will insure against
build-up of solids in the pores of the coating.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Continued
Griddle
To produce evenly cooked, browned griddle products, keep
griddle free from carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on
the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle
surface to food product. This results in uneven browning
and loss of cooking eciency, and worst of all, carbonized
grease tends to cling to grilled foods, giving them a highly
unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance. To keep the
griddle clean and operating at peak performance, follow
these simple instructions:
A. AFTER EACH USE clean griddle thoroughly with a grill
scraper or spatula. Wipe o any excess debris left from
cooking process.
B. ONCE A DAY clean griddle surface with a grill brick and
grill pad. Remove grease container and clean thoroughly,
in same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.
C. ONCE A WEEK clean griddle surface thoroughly. If
necessary, use a grill stone or grill pad over the griddle
surface. Rub with grain of the metal while still warm.
A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help
clean it, but care must be taken to be sure it is thoroughly
removed. After removal of detergent, the surface of the
plate should be covered with a thin lm of oil to prevent
rusting. To remove discolorations, use a non-abrasive
cleaner. Before re-using, the griddle must be reseasoned.
Keep griddle drain tube to grease container clear at all
times on those models without grease container.
CAUTION This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is
relatively soft and can be scored or dented by careless use of
spatula.
Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface.
This will cause food to stick in those areas. Also, note, since
this is a steel griddle if a light coating of oil is not always
present rust will develop on exposed and uncoated areas.
Open Top Burners
Cleaning of the range top burner is a simple procedure and,
if done at regular intervals will prolong the life of the range
and ensure good ame characteristics.
The most common problem with open burner ranges is
spillage. Once the burner ports are partially plugged with
food, the air-to-gas mixture is disturbed and results in an
inecient burner.
Wipe any spills as they occur.
Grids and trays should be removed daily, washed, rinsed and
dried thoroughly.
Use a wire brush to clean the ports of the burners. Ignite and
check for clogged holes.
If any clogged holes are apparent, the burner should be
lifted out and brushed inside and out with a small venture
brush. Each port on the burner itself should be cleaned with
a properly sized wire or thumb drill. Wash with soap and hot
water if grease is observed on the burners. Dry thoroughly.
Reinstall and check the ame pattern. Readjust the air
shutter if necessary.
If a yellow ame appears around the edges instead of being
uniformly blue, it is usually a sign of grease and dirt in the
throat of the burner. Remove and clean the burner and
readjust the air shutter.
Cast Iron Top and Ring Grates
Cast iron top and ring grate(s) can be cleaned with mild soap
and warm water. For baked on material, a wire brush can
be used. Dry thoroughly. Lightly coat with vegetable oil to
help prevent rust from forming. At the rear of the cast iron
top grate there are spills shields. These should be removed
and cleaned. Replace after cleaning to prevent grease and
spillovers dripping down the back of range.
Porcelain Top and Ring Grates
Porcelain top and ring grate(s) should be removed from
the range before cleaning. Clean with warm water, dish
detergent with degreaser and a soft cloth. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVES which will damage the porcelain surface. For
baked on material use of a ber pad or plastic scrubber
and standard oven cleaner is acceptable. Follow the
manufacturers directions for “cold Oven” cleaning method.
Porcelain tops and ring grates can also be processed through
a commercial dish water. Dry thoroughly and handle with
care.
Hot tops
While the surface is still slightly warm, wipe down with a
clean burlap cloth. Burnt on spillage should be scraped o. If
necessary, remove the plate and wash in a sink with soap and
hot water. Dry thoroughly. In damp climates, wipe down with
a light coating of oil to prevent rusting. Avoid excessive use
of water at this could damage the surface and the controls
below.
NOTE: Steel griddle and hot top surface will “tone” (blue/
brown discoloration) from heat. This toning will not diminish
function or operation and is not a defect.
