IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

•The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects

or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

•Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and

soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting

with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

Electronic ignition & automatic reignition

Rangetop Controls

Professional Rangetops

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

The burners 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.

,Q FDVH RI D SRZHU RXWDJH 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. 8VH H[WUHPH FDXWLRQ

•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.

•The 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.

Dual-flame stacked burners

All surface burners 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.

6LPPHULQJ

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.

How to select flame size

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

+, and ; +,.

Wok cooking

	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	Wok Side	Flat Side
	without the need for a separate ring.

:$51,1* Do not leave the IR grill unattended at any time.

*UHDVH )ODUH XSV

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.

*ULOO &RYHU

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.

&RRNZDUH

Do not use any cookware on the grill.

Set the control knob to 35(+($7. The longer the grill is preheated, the darker the grill marks will be on the food.

After preheat, the control knob may be set to any position between +, and /2.

'R QRW OHDYH WKH JULOO XQDWWHQGHG DW DQ\ WLPH

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.

127( 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 Glo-Bar 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.

Burner grates

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.

Grates

Frame

Pads

For stability, the frames have rubber pads on each corner. During cleaning and use, be careful not to damage or snag rubber pads.

Grease troughs

(on some models)

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.

7R UHPRYH WKH FRRO JUHDVH WURXJK IURP WKH JULGGOH slide it toward the front and lift up.

7R UHPRYH WKH FRRO JUHDVH WURXJK IURP WKH JULOO 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.

Care and Cleaning

Professional Rangetops

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.

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

'R QRW FOHDQ WKH FXWWLQJ ERDUG LQ WKH GLVKZDVKHU

Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.

Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel or knobs.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the control panel. Wash the knobs in hot soapy water, but do not soak.

An optional set of black control knobs is available for purchase at additional cost. Order the knob set for your model.
