Electronic ignition & automatic reignition

To light a surface burner

Dual-flame stacked burners

Rangetop Controls

Professional Rangetops

The rangetop is equipped with electronic ignition which eliminates the need for a standing pilot light.

The burners on this rangetop will automatically relight if the flame goes out.

All surface burner igniters will spark and make clicking sounds when any burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when igniters are clicking.

Occasionally the burners may spark if excess wind or a draft blows the flame away from the burner’s flame sensor.

The griddle and IR (infrared) grill are equipped with Glo-Bar igniters. The Glo-Bar remains energized whenever the griddle or IR grill is in use to ensure the burner always stays lit.

In case of a power outage, you can light the surface burners on your rangetop with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LOW position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Do not attempt to light the grill or griddle during a power outage. The gas to these burners will automatically shut off during a power outage.

Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the LITE position.

ON Indicator

Light

WARNING Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise, as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

ŶDo 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.

ŶThe indicator light on each bezel verifies the burner is on. However, it should not be a substitute for visually checking the flame at the burner.

All surface burners on your rangetop have two sets of flames stacked one on top of the other; the dual-flame burners have a lower (simmer) flame and a upper (main) flame.

When a burner is turned on, the lower flame will always light and stay on.

Simmering:

The stacked burner design provides a wide rangetop of heat settings with which to simmer. Depending on the type and quantity of food, and pan size, the flame can be adjusted to suit your specific need. The lowest setting uses only the lower flame and can maintain delicate foods at a safe 140°F.

Cooking:

Settings from LO to X-HI will use both upper and lower flames. Use LO to HI for all purpose cooking. Use HI or X-HI (highest setting) with larger diameter cookware.

X-HI and HI are very high heat settings and are intended to sear foods quickly and boil large quantities of water.

How to select flame size

Wok cooking

Surface Cooking

Professional Rangetops

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you increase or reduce heat.

The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating and could be hazardous.

For surface stability, 6” minimum diameter cookware is recommended. Use larger diameter cookware for heat settings between

HI and X-HI.

The burner grates are uniquely designed
to cook on either side. The flat side
accommodates flat bottom cookware
(stockpots, sauce pans, frying pans and flat
bottom woks), while the wok side is designed
to hold a wide variety of round bottom woks
without the need for a separate ring.	Wok Side	Flat Side

For easy access, a front burner location is recommended for wok cooking.

Grease Flare-ups:

Occasionally, during grilling, grease drippings can ignite creating minor bursts of flame for a second or two. This is normal when grilling.

The grill radiant baffle is designed to catch excess grease, limiting flare-ups.

If a flare-up becomes excessive, remove the food from the grill and lower the heat setting until the flare-up subsides.

To further reduce flare-ups, trim excess fat around the edges of steaks and chops, use hamburger that is lean, remove the skin from poultry, etc.

Use a long spatula and a non-flammable mitt when turning food on the grill.

Grill Cover:

Remove the cover before lighting the burner. For your safety, the cover must be removed when using the grill. If the cover is left in place it will become extremely hot.

Cookware:

Do not use any cookware on the grill.

Remove the cover before lighting the burner. The cover must be removed when using the IR grill.

Set the control knob to PREHEAT. The longer the grill is preheated, the darker the grill marks will be on the food.

Allow 5 to 15 minutes to fully preheat the grill.

After preheat, the control knob may be set to any position between HI and LO.

Do not leave the grill unattended at any time.

The intense heat caramelizes fats and juices creating authentic barbecued flavor. The

IR grill will achieve the same results as an outdoor grill.

All gas grills cook differently. Adjust cooking times and methods when using the IR grill.

Clean the grill grate, grease trough and grease basin after each use. Remove the parts for cleaning after they are cool to the touch.

NOTE: The grill will take approximately 45 seconds to ignite. Unlike the surface burners, which use electric igniters, the grill uses a Glo-Bar for ignition. It takes approximately 45 seconds for the Glo-Bar to reach temperature. Gas is only supplied to the grill once the GloBar reaches temperature.

Remove the cover before lighting the IR grill.

The grill grate is reversible. Place the handle end toward the front of the rangetop.

The grate will change color when subjected to the heat, and as oils cook onto the surface. This is normal and does not affect the cooking performance.

The porcelainized cast-iron grill grate does not need to be seasoned.

One side of the grate (Side A) is grooved and should be used for foods such as steak or hamburger patties. The grooves are sloped so the excess liquids and oils run toward the front of the grill and into the grease trough.

The electrode of the electronic ignition system is positioned at the rear of the burner base. When cleaning the rangetop, be careful not to snag the igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur.

Be careful not to push in a control knob while cleaning. It could cause the igniter to spark.

Make sure that the white ceramic igniters on the rangetop are dry and clean. Clean the metal portion of the electrode with a soft cloth or emery board.

Do not attempt to remove the electrode from the rangetop.

Clean this metal part with an emery board.

Do not clean this white ceramic part with an emery board.

The enameled cast-iron burner grates should be cleaned regularly.

The grates can be cleaned in the dishwasher. The frames may be cleaned by hand or in the dishwasher.

Wash them in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.

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

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.

Care and Cleaning

Professional Rangetops

Grease from the griddle and the grill will drain into the enameled cast-iron grease troughs at the front of the rangetop. Once the troughs have cooled, they may be lifted out for easier cleaning.

To remove the cool grease trough from the griddle, slide it toward the front and lift up.

To remove the cool grease trough from the grill, lift the grill frame and lift out the trough.

Do not allow grease to accumulate in the grease troughs as it can be a fire hazard. Clean the grease troughs as soon as they are cool. The grease troughs can be cleaned by hand with hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Wipe any spillage in the trough basin with a soft cloth.

For stability, the troughs have rubber pads at the front. Be careful not to damage the pads when removing for cleaning.

Grease troughs

Thoroughly clean the griddle of grease and food particles, using a square-edged metal spatula, while it is still hot.

Wipe the griddle with a dry, heavy, coarse cloth to remove any remaining residue and food particles. If the griddle is cleaned with anything other than a dry, heavy, coarse cloth, it will need to be reseasoned.

Never flood the hot griddle with cold water. This could cause the griddle to crack or warp.

NOTE: It is normal for the stainless steel griddle to discolor to a yellow-brown color after use.

Wash the bamboo cutting board with warm water and a mild soap. Occasionally, wipe it with mineral oil.

The pan surround and wire mesh cannot be removed. Clean them in place. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the pan surround. Gently brush food particles into the grease trough or use a vacuum cleaner for excess debris.

IMPORTANT: Keep the grill burner and ceramic igniter dry. Do not spray water or cleaner directly onto the wire mesh or igniter. Avoid contact with the igniter, it is fragile and can chip or break.

Reassemble the Grill:

Reverse the steps above to reassemble the grill. The radiant baffle support tabs should engage the pins on the side of the pan surround. Replace the grate frame. Be sure to engage the bottom locater pin with the pin hole at the left rear side of the pan. Replace the grill grate with the handle end towards the front of the rangetop.
