STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS

WARNING This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Gas appliances can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by incomplete combustion of natural gas or propane fuels. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by opening a window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat or as the manufacturer recommends.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Glass: 7KHUH DUH WZR W\SHV RI JODVV FRRNZDUH WKRVH for oven use only and those for surface burner cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas surface burners.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your

Positioning Your Griddle

The cast-iron griddle (on some models) can only be used over the left burners of the cooktop. To position the griddle, place the griddle on top of the left grate. Adjust the griddle until it is fully seated and sitting flat on the grate below. Do not turn on the left burners until you are certain the griddle has been positioned correctly.

Preheating Your Griddle

Preheat your griddle by setting both left burners to Hi for 5 minutes before placing food on the griddle. Once the griddle is preheated, turn the knob on each left burner to the griddle zone and use the cook setting outlined in the table below.

Cleaning the Cooktop

Cooktop Surface

Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the cooktop surface. Clean with a

PLOG VRDS DQG ZDWHU RU D VROXWLRQ RI YLQHJDU DQG water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Cleaning Knobs

For easier cleaning, the control knobs may be removed by pulling them directly upwards once the knobs are in the OFF position. The knobs can be washed by hand with soap and water or in a dishwasher.

To replace knobs after cleaning, align the hole on the knob backside with the gas valve shaft and push downward until the knob is securely fastened. All knobs are interchangeable except control lockout (on some models).

Pull the knob straight up off the stem.

Cleaning the Burner Caps

Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. The round burner caps may also be cleaned in your dishwasher.

Cleaning the Burner Heads

Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad

VSLOORYHUV ZKLFK FRXOG FORJ WKH EXUQHU RSHQLQJV /LIW burners off when cool. Wash with hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush with plastic bristles.

NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean the burner parts as these may clog the openings. Never wash burner heads in your dishwasher. Doing so may cause them to discolor.

The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.

Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to operate properly.

Replacing Surface Burners

Before replacing WKH EXUQHU FDSV KHDGV DQG RYDO KHDG cap assembly, shake out excess water and allow them to dry thoroughly.

Replace burner heads in the correct locations according to size. Ensure each cap is properly seated on the burner head, as pictured below.

CAUTION Do not operate the cooktop without all burner parts and grates in place.

Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Avoid hitting the electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.

CARE AND CLEANING: Cleaning the Cooktop

Cleaning the Cooktop (Cont.)

Burner Grates

Manual Cleaning

Grates should be washed in hot, soapy water and rinsed with clean water. To soften burned-on food, place grates in a solution containing ¼-cup of household ammonia for several hours. Afterward, scrub grates with a plastic scouring pad soaked in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry.

Oven Cleaning

Some models have grates that can be cleaned in a selfcleaning oven. If grates do NOT have rubber bumpers (pads) attached to the bottom of the grates, they may be cleaned in the oven using the self-clean cycle. See your oven's Owner's Manual for specific instructions. If self-cleaning instructions are not mentioned in Owner's Manual, the grates should not be cleaned in a selfcleaning oven.

Dishwasher Cleaning

The grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher. Remove any burnt-on food particles prior to placing the grates in the dishwasher. Place them on the lowest rack of the dishwasher and run on a "heavy duty" cycle.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Although the grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures and abrasion by the cookware.

NOTE: 8VH FDXWLRQ ZKHQ UHPRYLQJ WKH JUDWHV IURP WKH oven after the self-clean cycle has ended. The grates may still be hot.

Once the self-clean cycle is complete, the grates may carefully be removed. You may notice a white residue on the grates. Wipe it off with a damp sponge. If white spots

When replacing the grates on the cooktop, be sure to locate them correctly. Grates should fit securely into the cooktop.

Grate Support Bumpers (on some models)

Grate Support Bumpers

If any of the rubber grate support bumpers in the cooktop are missing or damaged, replacement parts can be obtained by visiting cafeappliances.com/part.

To insert the new bumpers, simply place the coneshaped end of the bumper into the hole in the cooktop and push down while gently twisting the bumper.

Griddles (on some models)

Cast-Iron: Clean your cast-iron griddle with a stiff

EUXVK DQG KRW ZDWHU 8VLQJ VRDS LV QRW UHFRPPHQGHG and harsh detergents should never be used as they will remove the seasoning. Rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly. After rinsing, preseason the griddle by applying a light coat of cooking oil to the griddle surface. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel.

Store in a cool, dry place.

Griddle Precautions:

Ŷ If something has spilled under the griddle, it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent the spill from getting baked onto the cooktop.

Ŷ Do not allow grease to accumulate under the griddle as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle with hot, soapy water as soon as it is cool.

Ŷ Do not wash your griddle in the dishwasher.
