OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE COOK TOP
Welcome to an exciting cooking adventure with your new American Range. You
can enjoy the experience of cooking on a true restaurant quality range with all of
its advantages in your own kitchen.
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR NEW COOKTOP
• Before using the cook top for the first time, wash the outside area with
soap and water to remove any residue from the factory finish.
• Your new professional range is equipped with burners that are similar to
those used in restaurants. The large grates are designed in sections and
are easy to remove and clean. The grates are made of cast iron with a
porcelain coating. The burner grates will remain hot after the burner is
turned off and create a residual heat for continued cooking. Use caution
when handling.
• The burner heads are large and designed to spread the heat out from the
perimeter of the head to ensure an even heat distribution for better
cooking. The burner head should always be in place during any cooking
and the range should not be operated without the burner heads.
• The burners have an electronic spark ignition that eliminates the need for
a continuously burning pilot light. If the flame should go out from a boilover or a strong draft when the burner is on, the burner will automatically
reignite.
TO START: LIGHTING THE BURNERS
• Select a burner and the matching knob.
• Push knob in and turn knob counterclockwise (left) to the MAX position
until there is a clicking sound and the burner ignites.
• Each burner or knob has a corresponding blue indicator light that remains
lit when the burner is on.
• There are infinite flame settings between MAX, the highest setting, and
SIMMER, the lowest setting.
If the flame appears uneven or ignition does not occur; check to make sure
the burner head is seated on the groves in the burner base.
1. The burner head must click into the receiving grooves on the burner
base.
2. To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off position or
until the knob stops turning.
3. The flame height should be only high enough to touch the bottom of
the pan. The heat should be directed into the pan from the bottom
only.
12
4. Do not cook with a high flame that curls up the sides of the pan. A
high flame that curls up the sides of the pan could melt or burn the
pan handles.
5. High flames curling up the sides of a pan are a waste of energy and
dangerous to the cook.
COOKWARE:
1. Use a low or medium flame if using glass - ceramic utensils.
2. Cast iron skillets conduct heat slowly but when hot are very efficient
and food can burn easily if the flame is too high. A low to medium
flame is suggested for cast iron skillets.
3. Any sturdy pan can be used on this range, but good quality
professional pans are recommended.
4. A pan should have a flat bottom and be the size that best matches
the size of the burner. The flames should touch only the bottom of
the pan.
5. Use caution when using pans with plastic or composite handles,
because high heat can burn or bubble the material.
Always reduce flame height to the minimum height necessary for food to cook.
An excessively high flame can cause food to scorch and stick to the bottom of
the pan.
To heat a large pot of water, use a high flame setting to bring contents to a rapid
boil and then lower the flame to maintain the proper boil.
A high rolling boil evaporates water and other foods quickly. Use our chart as a
guideline.
The following temperature settings are meant to be only a guideline for cooking.
You may need to vary the information to accommodate your own choices when
cooking.
Suggested Burner Settings:
Heat Settings Use
Simmer Melting small quantities of butter
simmer grains, rice, oatmeal
Low Poaching eggs, fish, poultry
Low – Medium Fry eggs, heat milk, cream sauces
Medium Puddings and custards, gravies
Medium High Sauté vegetables, braise meats, soups
and stews, deep fat frying, boiling
Water/pasta, blanching, vegetables,
searing meats
High Large quantity of water to boil, large
quantity frying and cooking
13
USING THE GRILL
• Before starting to cook, check that stainless steel radiant, grease collector
and grill grates are in place.
• This gas grill may cook slightly faster, so adjust preheat and grilling times
to allow for less cooking time than expected.
• Push in the control knob and turn to High. Rotate the knob counter-clock
wise. You will hear a puffing sound as the burner ignites and a blue light
will indicate that the burner is lit.
• Turn on the exhaust fan above your range.
• Preheat the grill for 2 to 5 minutes. The longer preheat time ensures
darker grill marks on the food.
• Turn knob to medium high or low before adding any food.
• Fatty foods or any excess fat used to marinate can cause minor flare-ups
or puffs of flame. A small amount of flare up is normal.
If the flare up is high, turn off the burner and remove the food until the flare
up subsides. Cover the grill with an American Range grill cover, cookie sheet,
or metal tray to put out the flame and return food to the grill.
For The Best Cooking Results on Your Grill
1. The intense radiant heat from the grill vaporizes protein juices and
flavors your respect protein.
2. Add any barbeque sauces during the last few minutes of cooking. Long
enough to caramelize the sauce.
3. For best results turn food with tongs or a flat spatula to avoid piercing
meat or poultry.
4. Turn meat once when juices rise to the surface. Turning meat more
than once results in the loss of meat juices.
5. Before cooking steaks or chops, trim most of the outside fat to prevent
excessive flare ups. Slash into the edges of steaks or chops to keep
meat flat on the grill.
6. Fish should be cooked at the lowest: setting 8 to 10 minutes for every
inch of thickness, measured at the thickest end of the fish.

HEAT SETTING TIME
USING THE GRIDDLE
The built-in griddle is made of polished steel to provide a smooth cooking
surface.
1. The griddle is held in place by one rear screw and two front screws.
The screws are positioned to keep the griddle from shifting in transit.
2. The griddle plate is not designed to be removed during normal use.
3. A griddle drip pan is included.
SEASON THE GRIDDLE
1. The griddle has a factory applied coating that must be washed off
before using for the first time.(See Cleaning the Griddle)
2. Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (not corn or olive) and rub on the
entire surface of the griddle using a rough towel.
3. Push the griddle control knob in and turn to a medium setting (350°F)
4. Heat until griddle begins to smoke. Turn off griddle and allow it to cool.
5. Repeat the process one more time.
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE:
1. The griddle is not to be removed for cleaning.
2. First, clean griddle after using by scraping with a flat spatula to remove
food particles.
3. Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot soapy water and a rough towel.
4. Rinse with a mixture of 1 quart water and 1 cup white vinegar.
15
5. To clean further, pour 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in the center of the
griddle and rub the entire surface with a clean rough towel or scrub
with a nylon scrubbing pad. Wipe with a damp paper towel.
6. Clean the griddle drip pan and trough after each use with hot soapy
water and a sponge.
7. It is normal for the griddle to darken with age and use.
To Start Cooking:
1. Push knob in and turn the knob clockwise to the MAX position.
2. Preheat griddle for 2 to 3 minutes and turn knob to a medium to low
cook setting.
3. The blue indicator light comes on and stays on until the desired setting
is reached and then turns off and on with the heating cycle.
4. For best results, add a small amount of fat to cook food properly, such
as butter, oil, or a cooking spray. Fatty meats like bacon and sausage
do not need extra fat.
The following temperature settings are meant to be used only as a guide. You
may need to vary the settings when making your own choices.

USING THE OVEN(S)
The oven bake and broil burners have an infrared glow igniter and safety system
that lights the gas. There is a 4 second delay for the gas to ignite after the knob
is pushed in and set.
Before baking or broiling:
Independently, turn the oven and broiler burners on for 2-hours and 20-minutes
respectively. This will burn off the manufacturing oils used by the factory.
• Turn the selector knob to Bake and set the thermostat knob to 450°F. Run
the oven for 2-hours.
• Allow the oven to cool for 10-minutes.
• Upon completely the oven cycle, turn the selector knob to Broil. Turn the
thermostat knob to broil and allow the broiler to run for 20-minutes.
• There may be an odor during these respective functions
16
All oven models have three cooking methods available:
• INNOVECTION
• Traditional Bake
• Broil
• Fan – Cool Down (utilized to cool your oven temperature rapidly)
WHAT IS THE CONVECTION COOKING PROCESS?
• Convection is the process of cooking with heat being mechanically
circulated with a fan in a continuous pattern around the food
• Cooking results can be faster than cooking charts suggest and food
should be checked for doneness 5 - 15 minutes prior to suggested
cooking time.
• Oven temperatures should be set lower than suggested cooking
recommendation. In most cases by 25°F.
• Multiple racks of food can be cooked at the same time with even browning
and cooking.
Other Features:
• This oven can also be used at low temperatures to dehydrate food, warm
plates or for very slow cooking at a low heat.
• Utilize the oven’s ‘Fan’ mode and turn on the oven lights to defrost frozen
foods.
® -CONVECTION
The thermostat on every oven is factory checked for
accuracy.
AMERICAN RANGE PROFESSIONAL RESIDENTIAL INNOVECTION-
CONVECTION
• INNOVECTION® -CONVECTION is the unique convection system created
by American Range engineers.
• INNOVECTION
circulate hot air more evenly around the oven. Air is also vented into the
oven through side vents to create a more uniform and fast cooking
process. Circulating hot air reaches all areas of the oven and eliminates
any hot or cold spots.
• The 30“oven is 30,000 BTU/hr, and the broil-only element is 15,500
BTU/hr.
• The 18” oven is 22,000 BTU/hr and the broil-only element is 13,000
OVEN FEATURES:
• Your new Professional Range is equipped with a separate bake and a
separate infrared broil burner.
• The ovens have two electric glow igniters that light the gas in each oven.
® -CONVECTION uses two fans at the back of the oven to
17
• Each oven has its own temperature control knob that cycles the burners
off and on to maintain the proper heat.
• All models have 6 rack positions and the large 30 “oven includes 2 racks.
• The 18” oven on some models has 6 rack positions and 2 racks.
• When cooking with INNOVECTION® -CONVECTION, any rack is suitable.
HOW TO COOK WITH INNOVECTION-CONVECTION:
1. INNOVECTION
® -CONVECTION fan-circulated hot air browns all food
surfaces quickly.
2. The circulating hot air seals in the juices in meats and vegetables.
3. This cooking process eliminates the need to baste with additional fat or
juices.
4. Meat and poultry are roasted in an uncovered shallow pan that allows the
circulating hot air to quickly brown all food surfaces.
5. This roasting process enhances flavors and keeps the inside of food moist
and juicy.
6. Some recipes or meats adapted to INNOVECTION® -CONVECTION will
cook faster than the expected time in a recipe or chart and should be
checked about 5 to 10 minutes early.
7. For best results when cooking with INNOVECTION® -CONVECTION we
recommend that low sided pans be used.
8. Circulating hot air needs to reach all sides of the food for the best cooking
results.
9. It is suggested that the oven temperature be lowered 25° for all recipes
and to reduce the cooking time by 10 to 15%.
10. Multiple racks of food can be successfully cooked at one time such as
three racks of cookies or breads.
11. A meal of meat and vegetables, cooked on different racks, all at the same
time saves time and conserves energy.
12. For best results always preheat the oven before INNOVECTION® -
CONVECTION baking.
13. There is always a condensation that occurs during cooking and water
could appear on the cooler panel outside of the oven.
14. Caution should be used when opening the oven door during the cooking
TO BEGIN COOKING
1. Adjust the racks for the best cooking position before turning on the oven.
2. Insert rack with the back safety rail in the up position towards the rear of
the oven. Lift and slide the rack into the desired position.
3. Push in and turn the Oven Selector Knob to the, bake, convection or broil
position. This will activate the electrical ignition and the gas flow.
4. Turn the temperature setting knob clockwise to the correct oven
temperature.
18
5. The blue indicator light on the oven panel glows indicating the burner is on
and cycles off when the oven is at the correct temperature.
Turn the oven temperature knob and the selector switch
knobs to the off position when finished cooking; be sure
the two knobs are completely in the off position
TO COOK WITH TRADITIONAL BAKE:
• Traditional Bake is the standard way to bake and is best when one rack of
food is cooked at a time.
• Any food item can be baked in the traditional manner but some foods can
only be baked in the traditional way for the best results.
• Traditional baking is best for foods that need to be covered and or cooked
for a long time, such as casseroles, and slow cooked roasts in liquid.
• Traditional bake is best for custard pies such as pumpkin, quiches, or nut
pies such as pecan.
• Traditional baking is also best for recipes that call for very high
temperatures, such as meringue toppings.
For best results use a single rack for traditional baking. Large ovens
can accommodate a full professional sheet pan.
• Before turning on the oven, position the oven racks to the best baking
position for the food being cooked.
• Most single rack baking of cakes, pies and cookies will be in the center of
the oven or rack two or three starting to number from the bottom rack
position which is one.
• Most roasting will be at rack position one or two depending on the size
and quantity of food being roasted.
• A cake will usually be baked on rack three or in the center rack position of
the oven.

TO USE THE BROILER:
When using broil, the rack position depends on the food, and the thickness of the
meat. Rack position one is at the bottom of the oven, and the positions number
up as a ladder with six being at the top.
• The oven door remains closed during broil. Opening the oven door
turns the infra-red element off. When the door is closed the element re-
ignites in 4 seconds.
• Check your recipe or use our guide. Use a two-piece broil pan.
• Most broiling uses rack positions three or four counting from the bottom.
• Push in oven knob and turn to the broil setting, the blue indicator light will
come on. When the broiler is hot the light turns off.
• When inspecting the food, open the oven door no more than 2 inches.
The burner turns off but will reignite in 4 seconds when the door is closed.
• For best results, broil small, flat cuts of meat such as steaks, hamburgers,
chops or boneless chicken breasts.

KEEP YOUR RANGE CLEAN:
To keep your range operating properly, clean after each use. This prevents
build-up of soil and grease. Grease and soil will be more difficult to clean if it has
been allowed to sit and cook onto the range.
TO CLEAN THE COOKTOP
The cooktop is brushed stainless steel with polished aluminum burner heads.
The burner caps are steel coated porcelain.
1. Wash all cooking surfaces with hot water and dish detergent such as
Ivory Liquid, or Joy.
2. Rub stubborn spots with baking soda or liquid cleaner such as Windex
All Surface Cleaner or 409.
3. Do not use abrasives on stainless steel. Use rough towels, sponges or
soft plastic scrubbers. RUB ONLY WITH THE “GRAIN”.
4. Grates and burner caps can be soaked in hot soapy water.
5. Mild scouring cleaners can be used, such as Bon Ami or Cameo.
6. Do not use steel wool pads or green rough Scrubee’s.
TO CLEAN THE OVEN
The oven cavity is porcelain with steel rack guides and racks. The infra-red broil
element is steel and does not need to be cleaned. Any soil is burned off by the
intense heat.
1. Place a glass baking dish in a cool oven and fill with ammonia. Close
the door and allow it to sit overnight. This softens the soil for easier
removal.
2. Wash the interior with soap and water. For stubborn stains make a
paste with baking soda and water and rub with a sponge or nylon pad.
3. Use mild scrubbing compounds such as Bon Ami or Cameo if
necessary.
4. Do not use steel wool pads or abrasive sponges or scrubbers.
22
5. If necessary, spray oven cleaner can be used. DO NOT SPRAY
OVEN CLEANER INTO THE CONVECTION FANS OR UP ONTO
THE INFRA-RED BURNER.
6. When using oven sprays, rinse the oven with 1/4 cup vinegar mixed
with 1 quart of water.
7. Do not use scouring powders on the glass window; oven spray may be
used on the window. Rinse with vinegar and water solution.
