General Information

General

The range is designed to provide, well-regulated, uniform heat throughout the oven and over
the surface units. The oven and surface units should be thoroughly preheated before being
used. It is advantageous from an operating cost standpoint to operate with the switches and/or
thermostats set at the lowest position that will satisfactorily perform the cooking being done.

Electric range tops consist of several arrangements, depending upon the specific models
purchased.

Options include 12" x24" hot plates

Round speed units

Griddles

Three position switches, thermostats, or infinite controls independently control these units.

All thermostats are used in conjunction with a red indicator or pilot lamp. When the light is on
the elements are energized and bringing the plate to the temperature set on the thermostat.
When the light is off the plate has reached the temperature set on the thermostat. Griddle pilot
lights should be allowed to cycle a least twice before usage.

Recommended Usage:

12"x 24" hot plates - Heavy stockpots and kettles.

Round speed units - Light duty sauce pans and small stockpots. (NOT recommended for large

stockpots.)

Griddles - Used for grilling product directly on surface.

CAUTION

All hot plates and speed units should be turned to
the low or off position when not in use. Allowing
these elements to stay in the full on or high
position with nothing on top to absorb and
dissipate the heat is detrimental to element life.

Operating Instructions

Initial Preheat

Before initial use, the oven must be allowed to dry itself out. This is completed by setting the
top and bottom oven switches to the “low” position, and setting the thermostat to 350
the range oven to saturate until all vapors and condensation have been eliminated. For best
operating results allow the range oven to thoroughly dry out. Allow eight (8) to twelve (12)
hours for this process. Clean the top plates thoroughly. Apply salad oil to the plates. Turn
each plate switch or thermostat to a low position and allow plate to heat for three hours.

Range Controls

Three (3) heat switches or automatic thermostats control the top plate units. The range is
provided with an upper heating unit located in the top of the oven and a lower heating unit
located under the metal deck, in the bottom of the oven. Each heating unit is independently
regulated for proper ratio of "top" and "bottom" heat, to suit the product being baked or
roasted, by means of two 3-heat switches located in the panel at the right of the range. The
range oven is also provided with an adjustable, automatic temperature control, the dial, which
is located in the range switch panel. The setting of the control dial establishes the average
temperature to be maintained in the range oven.

Operation

The range oven must be thoroughly, preheated before satisfactory baking can be done. The
range oven will not bake uniformly if not sufficiently preheated. To compensate for the
temperature drop when loading the range oven, set the thermostat fifty (50) degrees above the
desired temperature. Reset the thermostat after the range is loaded. Preheating of the range
oven can be accomplished with the heat switches set at a lower position than "High", but the
time will be proportionally longer. After preheating, set both three heat switches for proper ratio
of "top" and "bottom" heat to suit the product to be baked or roasted.

The 12" high "Roasting and Baking" range oven is equipped with a removable rack. For baking
pies, bread, or for roasting operations, the rack may be placed directly on the metal deck and
the pans placed on the rack. For baking cakes or pastries the rack should be located in the
lower position provided by the rack supports at the sides of the range and the pans placed on
the rack in this lower position.

Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

WARNING

Burns could occur when dealing with hot grease!

Empty grease drawers daily or when the area under the grease shoot is full. Do not wait until
the entire grease drawer is full.

Clean the exterior of the range with hot water and a mild detergent to maintain a gleaming
appearance.

After each cooking load, scrape the griddle surface to remove any carbonized grease.

CAUTION

When scraping griddle surface, do not scrape the
splash guard. It may eventually be cut through.

Weekly Cleaning

The range should be thoroughly cleaned at least once a week in addition to the normal daily
cleaning to insure against the accumulation of foreign material. Keep inside of oven and metal
deck clean, particularly around door opening, door edges and at bottom of door opening so that
the door may close tightly.
