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.

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.

IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE...

safety

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.

Jade ovens are thermostatically controlled, and are equipped with electric ignition systems. This promotes

Oven Racks

Each Jade oven is equipped with two heavy duty "wraparound" wire racks. The oven has guides for three rack positions. When cooking with two racks, place the racks in the top and bottom rack guides. When cooking with only one rack, place the rack in the middle position. The middle position is also ideal for broiling (see infrared broiling section). When roasting large items such as a turkey, additional space may be gained by placing the rack on the bottom of the oven.

Operating The Standard Oven RJGR48 SERIES

1. Make sure all thermostat knobs are in the off position.

2. Before heating the oven, place the oven racks in the desired position. Warning: Use extreme caution when moving racks while the oven is hot. We recommend the use of oven mittens or potholders to prevent injury.

3. Turn the POWER SWITCH ON. The power switch will illuminate, and will activate all the thermostats not set in the OFF position.

4. Push in the oven thermostat and set to a desired cooking temperature between 150 orange bake light will light to indicate the oven is

Standard Oven Helpful Hints

• The oven interior is constructed of superior quality grade stainless steel. It is

normal for the oven interior to warp moderately and darken with use. The stainless steel can be cleaned with a mild abrasive or a non-abrasive oven cleaner to restore its luster.

• The oven bottom pan can be covered with aluminum foil to facilitate cleanup.

Make sure the foil does not extend beyond the width of the bottom pan and does not interfere with the flow of the heat. Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. This could result in uneven heat distribution.

• Avoid repeated openings of the oven door; heat escapes each time the door is

opened. The oven thermostat will sense the drop in the oven's temperature and will activate the oven burner. This will cause hot spots to form in the oven and could affect cooking results.

• Allow at least 1 inch clearance around the oven pans and the oven walls. When

using more than one pan per rack, position the pans evenly to maximize air circulation.

Note: The welded construction of your Jade Range may cause expansion and contraction of the metal, which produces a sound. This is perfectly normal and is no cause for concern.

accurate temperature control and economical ignition operation.

Oven Racks

Convection Oven

Convection ovens feature a sealed design that prevents the products of combustion from entering the oven interior. The oven tank is a one-piece welded construction of stainless steel. During cooking, the oven burner heats the interior oven walls, top and bottom. Then a fan, powered by a commercial size blower motor, blows the heat from the walls and circulates it inside the oven. With no flue openings in the oven tank to provide a means of escape, moisture and flavors remain trapped inside the oven. This promotes even browning, and exceptional roasting and baking.

Both the amount of cooking time, and the temperature required are reduced (compared to a standard oven) when a convection oven is used. On the average, temperatures in a convection oven can be reduced

F, or cooking times decreased by approximately 10

25 to 20 percent. This increased cooking efficiency is a result of the superior heat distribution provided by the convection oven centrifugal blower.

5. NOTICE: Because of the sealed design of the oven, the blower must be used during cooking. Set the oven blower switch to AUTO. This will cause the blower to run while the door is closed. To prevent hot air or steam from rushing to the front of the oven and compromising the heat distribution, the blower will stop when the door is open.

6. Preheat the oven at the desired setting for at least 20-30 minutes, or until the oven cycles on and off. When the bake light cycles off, the oven is ready. Avoid opening the oven door during preheating.

7. Place the food in the oven.

8. After cooking, turn the THERMOSTAT OFF.

The Secret’s In The Tiles

The infrared oven broiler burner uses ceramic tiles as heating elements. These tiles begin to glow within a few seconds of ignition and immediately begin to radiate infrared heat. This “instant” heating capability makes preheating the infrared broiler unnecessary.

Professional chefs rely on the searing properties of infrared broiling to seal in the nutrients, flavors and juices of meats, poultry and fish. Your new Dynasty Range places this professional style infrared broiling capability at your fingertips.

INFRARED BROILING

ALL SERIES

Advantages Of Infrared Broiling

• Since much of the fat contained in food drips off during the broiling process,

infrared broiling is recognized as a healthy cooking method.

• Gas infrared broiling is also a clean, cool and smokeless cooking method. Any

smoke and splatters produced during this closed door process are consumed by the gas flame.

• The infrared broiler cooks food up to 50% faster than other methods, due to the

intense penetrating heat generated by the ceramic tiles.

• Infrared broiling produces attractive, appetizing food with a professional style seared

appearance.

Infrared Broiling Tips

• For optimum performance make sure the oven rack is

in the correct broiling position.

• Always use a broiler pan to collect drippings. You can

use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.

• Defrost meats before broiling.

• Slit fatty edge to prevent meat from curling.

• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the

recommended time, season and turn. Season second side just before removing. Turn meat only once to limit piercing and the release of juices.

• Before turning or removing food, always pull out rack

to stop position.

• Do not leave the broiler pan in the oven after broiling

is completed.

Open Top Burners With Electronic Spark Ignition

Your Jade appliance features stainless steel open top burners engineered with electronic spark ignition to eliminate the necessity of continuous pilots. These

urners provide immediate heat, and also respond immediately to adjustments

of heat settings.

Control Knobs Operation

The burner control knobs are configured in sets of two. The right hand knob controls the front burner, and the left hand knob controls the rear burner. To ignite a burner, push in the appropriate burner control knob and turn it to HI, and then to the LITE position. You will hear a clicking sound, which indicates the spark igniters are firing properly. The burner should ignite within seconds (which is the time required to purge the air in the gas supply line). As soon as the burner ignites, turn the knob to the desired heat setting, the clicking sound should stop once the knob is no longer in the LITE position. Burner control knobs should be kept in the OFF position when not in use.

REMEMBER: These burners produce a great deal of heat, especially on the HI setting. Do not operate the burners for an extended period of time without cookware on the grates, as it may cause the porcelain on the grates to chip.

Note: A slight popping sound is normal during initial operation. This is due to the high rate of gas input to the burner

the smallest possible stable flame at the LOW setting.

Due to fluctuations in gas pressures and changes in heating value, you may wish to adjust the height of the flame at the LOW setting. Refer to the Initial Startup and Adjustment section of the Installation Manual for further instructions.

Determining The Proper Flame Height

The proper height of the flame depends on the size and material of the utensil being used, the food being cooked, and the amount of liquid in the utensil. However, certain basic rules apply:

• The flame should never extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

• Use a lower flame with utensils made of slow heat conductors, such as stainless steel, ceramic glass, etc. Excessive heat applied to these materials will result in scorching or burning.

• When boiling, adjust the flame to the size of the cookware until boil begins. Then lower flame height to the minimum needed to maintain a gentle boil.

Foods cook just as fast at a gentle boil, as they do at a vigorous boil.

• To prevent spillovers and boilovers when frying, always use properly sized cookware. Do not fry with excessive heat, and never leave the range unattended.

Wok

Ignition, operation and adjustment of the Wok burner are similar to that of the open top burners; see a complete explanation of control knobs operation on page 26.

Make sure the flue opening of the Wok conduction chamber is at the back, and position the Wok handles away from the flue opening.

USING YOUR WOK

ALL SERIES

The Mysteries Of Wok Cooking Revealed

Wok cookery offers a fun and easy technique for the preparation of delicious, creative and healthy meals. A unique method of cooking, its roots go back thousands of years.

Since the Wok was invented by the Chinese, it is closely tied to Asian cuisine. In this style of cooking, most ingredients are cooked very quickly at a high temperature to preserve their color, crispness and flavor. The Wok design and construction promotes this cooking method.

The cone shape of the Wok concentrates the heat in the base, where the actual cooking takes place. The Jade Wok conduction chamber is cylindrical which serves to trap and focus the heat in the base. A flue opening at the back of the conduction chamber provides an exit for spent heat.

Since heat dissipates as it travels up the sloping sides of the Wok, the cylindrical shape allows prepared foods to stay warm while other ingredients cook in the center. Therefore, in Wok cooking, each ingredient may be cook individually, in the same utensil, and will stay hot until it is time to mix it with the other ingredients. This promotes a distinctive blending of various textures, tastes and types of food, and achieves a delicious balance between contrasting meats and vegetables.

Wok Cooking Techniques

Although different styles of Wok cooking naturally suit certain types of food, there are three main Wok cooking techniques which bring out the food's best qualities:

Stir-frying In this technique, each item is cooked quickly in hot oil, then pushed up on the sides of the Wok while the next item is being cooked. This preserves the color, flavor and crispness of vegetables and seals in the natural juices of meats and seafood.

Steaming Steaming preserves the natural nutrients of the vegetables and heightens their freshness.

Tempura This batter-fried method of cooking adds a unique dimension to meats, seafood and vegetables.

Cooking in a Wok is quick and easy. Because it is so quick, ingredients must be prepared ahead of time. As a result, Wok cooking is ideal for entertaining.

USING YOUR CHARBROILER

ALL SERIES

operation

Charbroiler

Like the open top burners, the Charbroiler is also equipped with electronic spark ignition.

Use of the Charbroiler requires the installation of an appropriately sized ventilating hood above the range. Refer to the Jade Installation Manual for recommended hood sizes.

Unique Charbroiler Design

The Jade Charbroiler is built primarily for indoor use. With that in mind, it has been designed to operate with less flare-ups, and without the use of lava rocks that collect grease and often emit a foul odor.

Designed for practicality and versatility, the Jade Charbroiler allows you to cook small amounts of food using only one burner and one side of the broiling grill.

Unlike typical broilers and barbecues which are designed with the hottest part of the grill at the center, Jade Charbroilers are engineered with burners at the sides. This allows foods to be seared when positioned on the sides of the Charbroiler, and then placed in the center for completion. Since fat and grease drippings are more prevalent during the final stage of broiling, the Jade side burner design prevents excessive flare-ups.

The front of the grid can be used to keep foods warm. In the event the grill surface is fully covered with food, the center and the front of the grill will also provide high heat.

operation

USING YOUR CHARBROILER

Operating The Charbroiler

1. Make sure the broiler heat deflector, splash guard, and grates are properly positioned (see illustration on page 42). The drip tray should also be in place.

2. Push in and turn burner knob to the HI position, and then back to LITE. You will hear a clicking sound which indicates the electronic ignition system is operating. After the burner ignites, turn the knob to HI.

3. Preheat the charbroiler for 15 minutes. If heavy "branding" is desired, preheat for 20 minutes. The radiants will begin glowing red hot approximately two inches from each end.

4. Place the food directly above the glowing radiants. Sear the food to seal its juices. Just after the juices begin to bubble to the surface, turn the food once only and sear the other side. Turning the food more often will cause it to lose more juices and will lessen the caramelized effect and flavor.

5. If a greater degree of doneness is desired, finish the food by placing it at the center of the grill, or by lowering the burner flame.

6. Foods may be kept warm by placing them on the front section of the grill. This section is also ideal for toasting bread and buns while broiling.

Griddle

The Griddle operates with a U-shape burner. The griddle plate is constructed of highly polished 1/2" thick, restaurant quality steel. An electric thermostat controls the plate temperature. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the burner is automatically ignited by an electric glowbar ignition system. This eliminates the need for standing pilots with continuously burning flames.

USING YOUR GRIDDLE

Before Using Your Griddle

A thin film of oil is applied to the griddle plate at the factory to preserve its luster and protect it from rust. Dust and dirt may accumulate during manufacturing and transit. It is important to thoroughly clean the griddle and season it before using it for the first time.

To prepare the griddle:

1. Clean the griddle surface with a mild cleaner/degreaser to remove the film of protective oil.

2. Rinse with a mixture of 1/4 cup of vinegar to one quart of water. Dry thoroughly.

3. Apply thin film of cooking oil (do not use corn oil) to the entire griddle surface.

F. Follow normal operation

4. Heat the griddle to 400 instructions. (Steps 1 and 2 on page 32.)

5. When the oil begins to smoke, turn the control knob OFF. Allow the griddle to cool

6. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 several times.

ALL SERIES

8. When the griddle is cool, wipe it with clean burlap or any heavy coarse cloth.

9. Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the griddle to prevent rusting.

10. The griddle is now ready to use.

11. It is normal for the griddle to darken with use. This is a sign of a well-seasoned griddle.

operation

USING YOUR GRIDDLE

Using Your Griddle

1. Make sure the drip tray is properly positioned.

2. Push in and turn the griddle thermostat knob to the desired temperature setting.

3. Preheat the griddle for 15 minutes or until the burner cycles twice. Preheating is vital for even heat distribution on the griddle plate, and faster heat recovery during cooking.

4. Place food on the griddle and cook to desired doneness.

5. Removal of food particles with a metal spatula during cooking will facilitate cleanup, and will keep the particles from mixing with the cooked food.

6. After cooking, turn the thermostat OFF.

Allow the griddle surface to cool before washing or rinsing. The hot steam can cause injury. It may also damage the griddle plate.

7. Removal of burners allows for easy cleaning of hangers. Note: the igniter lead cable runs underneath the hanger; do not get this cable wet. If the cable is wet the igniter will not operate until the cable has dried. (Should this occur, the burner can be lit manually with a match. Manual lighting will speed the drying process.) The grounding of the circuit prevents the cable from operating when wet. In this situation, the range can still be turned on safely without danger of electrical shock resulting from this specific condition.

8. Burners must be thoroughly dried before reinstalling them in the range. A wet burner will not allow the gas to ignite properly. After drying, reposition the burners, and secure them in place by tightening the wing nuts.

2. When the griddle is hot, rub the surface with unsalted shortening or vegetable oil. Do not use corn oil. Wipe with a rough cloth to remove food particles and other residue.

3. After cleaning the griddle surface, always remove the drip tray located underneath. The pan will collect cooked-off grease that has drained from the griddle. Wash the pan in hot soapy water or with a mild cleaner/degreaser. The drain chute can be cleaned using a bottle brush and a mild cleaner/degreaser.

4. Spots may be removed by applying vegetable oil to the area with a rough grain nylon scouring pad.

5. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using special griddle cleaners. After using these cleaners, rinse the griddle with a solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clear water, and dry. Before using again, season griddle by reapplying a thin film of vegetable oil.

6. If griddle has areas where food has been cooked into the surface, and cannot be removed through the above steps, polish the griddle surface with a fine grain griddle stone. Wipe away all dust and food particles after cleaning, then reapply a thin film of vegetable oil.

7. Never flood a hot griddle surface with cold water. This promotes warping and can cause the griddle plate to crack.

A Guide To The Perfect Flame All Series

A properly adjusted flame should be stable and quiet. The flame should have a sharp, well defined blue inner cone. Yellow tipping should not be present. The flame should be stable and uniform, and not lift out of the ports. Allow 5 minutes for the flame to "warm up" and stabilize.

Checking The Flame All Series

The color of the flame is significant in determining if the proper amount of air is present in the gas mixture. Flames on the HI setting must have clean, sharp blue flames with distinct inner cones approximately one inch high. Soft, lazy flames with indistinct cones or with yellow tips signify an insufficient amount of air. Noisy flames that tend to lift away from the burner signify excessive air.

To adjust the air mixture: first make sure the burner knobs are in the off position, then loosen the screw on top of the air shutter, and turn the shutter to obtain the correct aperture size (see table on page 45). Tighten the screw after the adjustment is completed.

Flames on the LOW setting must also be checked. Turn the burner control knob to the LOW (simmer) setting. At this setting, all ports in the burner must be fully lit with the smallest possible flames. An adjustment is necessary if some ports do not stay lit, or if the flames are high. To adjust, set the knob to LOW, then pull the knob out. Use a thin flat screwdriver (1/8" wide) to reset the adjusting screw located at the center of the valve stem. Turn the screw clockwise to lower the flame and counterclockwise to increase it.

LIMITED SEVEN YEAR WARRANTY

Jade products are warranted to be free from defect in material and workmanship under normal household use and service for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of original retail purchase (not to exceed eighteen (18) months from manufacturing date). Jade, the warrantor, agrees to repair or replace, at its option, any part which fails or is found to be defective during the warranty period.

Any oven bake/roast burner or griddle burner and stainless steel open top burner which fails in normal household use within three (3) years from the date of original retail purchase (not to exceed forty two (42) months from manufacturing date) will be repaired or replaced, free of charge when the range is located within the United States. This only applies to the actual part, and excludes all other costs, including labor.

Any stainless steel oven interior which fails in normal household use within a period of seven (7) years from the date of original retail purchase (not to exceed ninety (90) months from manufacturing date) will be repaired or replaced, free of charge when the range is located within the United States. This applies only to the actual part, and excludes all other costs, including labor.

This warranty shall apply to products purchased and located in the United States. Warranty labor shall be performed by an authorized Jade service agency or representative.

Warranty does not apply to damage resulting from abuse, accident, natural disaster, loss of electrical power (for any reason) to the product, alteration, outdoor use, improper installation or improper operation, unauthorized adjustments and calibrations performed on the product, nor damage due to harsh chemicals (i.e., cleaning products improperly applied). Oven light bulbs are also excluded from this warranty.

Warrantor is not responsible for consequential or incidental damage. Warranty does not apply to commercial usage, or to products with altered or removed serial numbers.

Owner shall be responsible for proper installation, providing normal care and maintenance, providing proof of purchase upon request, and making the appliance accessible for service.

Warrantor's liability on any claim of any kind, with respect to the goods or services covered herein, shall in no case exceed the price of the goods or services or part thereof which gives rise to the claim.

WARRANTY SERVICE

Any implied warranties of merchantability and fitness applicable to the equipment are limited in duration to the period of coverage of this express written warranty. This warranty grants specific legal rights to the purchaser. Other rights, which may vary from state to state, may also apply. Title to the merchandise passes to the consignee upon acceptance by the carrier. After acceptance by the carrier, the merchandise travels at the risk of the

purchaser. In the event of freight damage do not refuse shipment. Advise the agent of the damage, and note the details of that damage on the freight

bill before any freight charges are paid. File a claim for damages with the freight agent. In the event of concealed damage (shipment arrives in

apparent good order, but upon unpacking is found to be damaged) immediately notify the freight agent in writing and retain a copy of the notification.

Under the terms of this warranty, service must be performed by a factory authorized Jade service agent or representative. Service will be provided during normal business hours. Labor performed at overtime or premium rates shall not be covered by this warranty. To obtain warranty service, contact the dealer from whom the product was purchased, an authorized Jade service agent or Jade. Provide model and serial number and date of original purchase.

IMPORTANT: Retain original proof of purchase to establish warranty period.
