Cook Top Safety Guidelines
Surface Burner Ignition
To light the top burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to the “HI”
position. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. Once
burner ignition has been achieved, then turn the burner control knob to adjust the desired heat
setting.
NOTE: When one burner is turned to the “HI” position, the burner igniters will park. Do not
attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. Do not touch any
burner cap, burner base, or igniter while the igniters are sparking.
Simmer and Boil
A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise cooking performance
for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for cooking that need to
cook over low heat for a long time.
2The highest flame settings provides the maximum heat that is available on your range. This setting
should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling or pasta cooking.
Flame Size
When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.The flame should be steady and blue in
color. Foreign material in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial operation.
30
Cook Top Safety Guidelines
Power Failure
If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five minutes for
any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
If the power fails, it is not capable of being safely placed in operation and user that no attempt
should be made to operate during power failure.
Cooktop
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining, clean cooktop after each use, and wipe up
acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop has cooled.
The sealed burners of your range are not sealed to your cooktop and are designed to be removed.
Boil overs or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners should be cleaned after each
use.

The glowing screen produces the infrared heat, searing the outside of broiled foods and sealing in
juices.
Convection Bake
The oven convection fan circulates and distributes the heat in the oven for faster and even cooking.
Convection cooking allows you to bake more items on multiple racks.

cookies), as it reflects some heat and gives a less intense baking surface.

Oven Function
Convection Roast
For best results use the broiler pan. The pan is used to catch grease spills and has a cover to
prevent grease splatter.
The convection fan circulates heated air over the around the food being roasted, sealing juices
quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden-brown exterior.
Use the broil/roast pan and slotted grid supplied with the range when roasting in order to elevate
the meat on a metal roasting rack. This allows hot air to circulate around the meat, browning it
more evenly like a rotisserie. A suitable roasting rack can be purchased through your HRG by the
distributer or Customer Care.
When roasting larger items like a whole turkey, use only the pan and grid for greater stability.
Convection Defrost
With temperature control off, a motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates air. The fan
accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid illness and food waste, do not
allow defrost food to remain in the oven for more than two hours without being cooked.
Defrosting
To thaw uncooked frozen food, set the oven temperature to 100-150°F . Once thawed, cook the
food immediately and do not refreeze.
To prevent liquid from thawing food dripping on the oven floor, be sure any uncooked food is tightly
wrapped in foil and/or placed in a container.
Convection Dehydration
With the temperature control on 175。F,warm air is radiated from the bake burners on the
bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven.
Over a period of time, the water is removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water
increases growth of microorganisms and detains the activity of enzymes.

Broiler Operation
13. Broiler Operation
Note: Door must be closed during broiler operation.
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the infrared broiler in the oven.
Broiling in the oven is accomplished with the oven door closed. It is normal and necessary for some
smoke to be present to give the food a broiled flavor.
If you open the oven door to check the food, have it open for as short a time as possible. This is to
prevent the control panel from overheating and prevents melted knobs.
Use both the broil/roast pan and slotted grid supplied. The grid helps to reduce smoking and
splatter by letting grease drip into the bottom of the pan, away from intense heat. To prevent food
sticking, spray the grid with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (Remove the broiler pan before preheating with
the infrared broiler. Foods will stick to hard metal). To preheat, turn the “Oven” selector knob to the
“Broil” position. Wait for the burner to become hot, approximately 2 minutes. Preheating is not
necessary when broiling meat well-done.
To Broil
Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.
Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.
Setting Broil
The “Oven” selector knob controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward from
the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil feature temperature is 500。F (260℃).
The broil pan and insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert.
DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
36
Broiler Operation
1. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the broiler pan insert.
2. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the
3. Turn selector knob to Broil.
To set the oven to Broil:
broiler pan and position directly under the broil burner. If preheating the broil burner first,
position the broiler pan after the broil burner is preheated.
The oven indicator light will remain on until the selector knob is turned to the off position or the
temperature control cycles off.
Broiling guidelines
Choose a suitable shelf position. To ensure that meat is cooked through rather than just browned
on the outside, broil thick pieces of meat and poultry on shelf positions 2 or 3. Use shelf position 4
for thinner items that need less cooking time like steaks, chops, or hamburger patties.
When finishing off meals by browning the top under the broiler, use metal or glass-ceramic
bakeware. Do not use heatproof glass or earthenware, as these cannot withstand the intense heat
of the broiler.
Center the item in the oven, so that it is directly under the broiler.
