Special Features Distinguish Our Jade Ranges, And Promote Its Longevity.

Built to perform to the highest standards, and endure for a generation, Jade Ranges are manufactured through welded construction of aluminized steel and stainless steel. Only the highest food grade, nonmagnetic stainless steel, Type #304, is used on our ranges.

Many years of research and engineering have gone into the manufacture of your new Jade Range. Truly a professional quality appliance designed and manufactured for home applications, your Jade Range is equipped with special features not often found on residential ranges, or even on ordinary commercial ranges.

Your new Jade Range has been constructed with extra care and attention to details:

• Stainless steel gas tubing assures maximum safety and reliability.

• Constructed of stainless steel, the open burners are equipped with electronic ignition, thus eliminating the need for pilot lights.

• The wok burner features a conduction chamber specially designed to produce optimum heat.

• The griddle operates with a U-shaped burner, which affords superior heat distribution. (Ordinary domestic griddles are equipped with a single straight tube burner.)

• Jade charbroilers are simple to clean (unlike common charbroilers which use lava rocks or bricks that collect fat and grease).

• Oven racks are fabricated of heavy gauge wire, welded and chrome plated with a "wraparound front" to prevent the scratching of cooking utensils.

• The oven broiler features an infrared burner which glows instantly, radiating infrared heat within a few seconds of ignition. No preheating is necessary.

• To eliminate glare, oven lamps are mounted on the sides, not on the rear of the ovens.

• Oven interior is constructed of heavy gauge stainless steel.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General Precautions

1. Your Jade Range should be installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Ask the installer to show you where the gas shut-off valve is located, and how to operate it.

2. If the range is to be installed on an area covered with linoleum or any other flooring, make sure that

the floor covering can withstand 90 above room temperature without warping, shrinking or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting.

3. Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (Natural or LP) on which it is to be used. Your range can be converted for either type of gas. Refer to the Installation Manual for instructions.

4. If you smell gas, call a qualified service technician. Do not try to fix the problem yourself. Follow the instructions entitled "What To Do If You Smell Gas" on page 2.

5. Caution: To prevent fire or smoke damage remove all packing materials from the range before operating it.

6. Before starting to cook, clean the range thoroughly with hot, soapy water. This is necessary to remove residuals and solvents used at the factory to clean and remove dirt, oil and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. The griddle plates should also be thoroughly cleaned.

7. In the event a burner goes out and gas escapes, turn off burner knobs, open a window or door and let the room air out. Do not attempt to use the appliance until the gas has had time to dissipate.

8. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. Service should only be performed by a qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed by an authorized service agency.

F (65

9. Locate range out of the kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation. It is important that neither the fresh air supply to the appliance, nor the flue opening is obstructed. Your kitchen must provide an adequate supply of fresh air to assure proper combustion and ventilation.

10. Allow a minimum vertical distance of 30" between the range top surface and any combustible cabinets installed directly above the range. Overhead cabinets should be no more than 13" deep.

11. We recommend a clearance of 30" between the range top and the bottom of the ventilating hood. To confirm clearance distances and assure maximum performance, we recommend consulting the hood manufacturer.

12. The front of your range must remain clear of any obstruction. For proper operation and servicing, a free area of at least 36" in front of the range is recommended.

13. The area surrounding your Jade Range should be kept clean, and free from flammable liquids and other combustible materials such as mops, rags, brooms, etc., as well as solvents, cleaning fluids, and gasoline.

14. Caution: Do not attempt to operate the oven, griddle or infrared broiler during a power failure. Open top burners, the wok and the charbroiler can be lit manually, with a match.

15. A risk of a tipover may exist if installation instructions - including those relating to excessive loading of the oven door, and abnormal use - are not followed. See installation manual.

16. Never line surface burners with tin foil.

operation

The basic difference between standard ovens and convection ovens is the system they utilize to bring about heat transfer. In other words, standard ovens circulate heat through natural airflow, and convection ovens employ a fan to circulate the heat throughout the oven cavity. Convection ovens produce more even heat distribution, and cook more rapidly.

STANDARD VS. CONVECTION OVENS...

A FAN MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Standard Oven Cooking

In traditional baking in a standard oven, heat is emitted from a burner located in the bottom of the oven cavity. Natural airflow circulates the heat throughout the oven.

Standard Oven Tips

• Roasting is recommended for large tender cuts of beef, veal, pork or lamb.

• Allowing roasts to stand ten to fifteen minutes after cooking will make

carving easier. Meat continues to cook during this "standing time".

• There is no need to add water to the pan when roasting. This would produce a steamed effect, and roasting is a dry heat cooking method.

• Less tender cuts of meats may require moist cooking techniques.

• Check roast for the desired degree of doneness. Always use a standard meat

thermometer to test for completion; never rely on appearance alone. The tip o the thermometer should be inserted into the center of the thickest part of the meat, and should not touch the bone or a fatty section.

Convection Oven Cooking

In a convection oven, a motorized fan positioned in the rear of the oven circulates the heat generated from a

urner. This results in a more even distribution of heat, and thus, an equalized temperature throughout the oven cavity. Therefore, the hot and cold spots often found in conventional ovens are eliminated. Convection ovens can accommodate multiple rack use even in the largest cooking projects. In roasting situations, the oven quickly replaces cool air with hot air. This promotes searing, which retains the juices and natural flavor of meats, with less shrinkage.

operation

Advantages Of Convection Oven Cooking

• Roasts are evenly browned without basting or turning.

• Poultry has a light crispy skin.

• Breads are evenly textured with golden crusts.

• Oven racks may be filled to capacity without affecting cooking time.

• Cookies and other items are baked uniformly, regardless of their position in the oven.

Convection Oven Tips

• Reduce oven temperature by 25 degrees when

converting recipes from standard to convection baking. This includes packaged mixes.

• Use convection mode for multiple rack baking.

Multiple rack baking may require one to five minutes more than the time suggested in baking charts. Thin items will require less additional baking time than thick items.

• Always use a proper size pan. The pan should be

large enough to collect all the drippings, but not so large as to block the convection air flow within the oven.

• Do not cover food when roasting.

• Cook meats and poultry directly from the

refrigerator; there is no need for meats and poultry to stand at room temperature.

• Place meat fat side up in the roasting tray, this will allow it to baste itself. No manual basting is needed.

• Cooking will continue for ten to fifteen minutes after removal from the oven. Therefore, wait ten to fifteen minutes before carving.

• Less tender meats are not recommended for convection cooking.
