10. The flame of the open-top burner should be adjusted to just cover
the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause
scorching of adjacent countertop surfaces, as well as the outside of
the utensil. This is based on safety considerations.

11. Use dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot
surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

12. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward toward
the center of the range, and so that it does not extend over
adjacent burners.

13. Surface areas near burners may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch areas near burners until
they have had sufficient time to cool.

14. Once the unit is installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions,
it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed.

15. The flueway must also remain clear.

16. Storage cabinet area above the unit must be 36” (91.4 cm) and
cannot project more than 13” (33.0 cm) outward from the rear wall.
Beware of potential hazards associated with retrieving items from
such cabinets when the unit is in operation.

17. Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and
other flammable liquids.

1. Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The
appliance must be installed and electrically grounded according to
local codes. Have the technician show the location of the gas
shut-off valve on the range so you know where and how to turn off
the gas if necessary.

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

3. The “push-to-turn” knobs of this range are designed to be child­safe. However, children should not be left alone in the kitchen
while the range is in use. Do not store items of interest to children
over the unit.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN::

Children climbing to reach items could

be seriously injured.

4. GREASE is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do not
use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother
flaming pan by covering utensil completely with well-fitting lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam type extinguisher.

5. Never leave the surface area unattended at high heat setting.
Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spill-overs which may ignite.

6. If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust,

TTUURRNN

TTHHEE FFAANN OOFFFF..

The draft could cause the flames to spread out of

control.

7. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.

8. Never use your range for warming or heating a room. This is
based on safety considerations.

9. Use proper pan size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the burner. Using undersized utensils allows the
flame to come up the side of the utensil, scorching the outside of
the utensil and making cleanup harder.

WWAARRNNIINNGG

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage
when using the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to
remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have
remained from the manufacturing process. Before starting to cook,
clean the range thoroughly with hot, soapy water.

SStteeeell GGrriiddddllee//SSiimmmmeerr PPllaattee

The griddle is a heavy-weight, polished steel griddle that has a
USDA authorized protective coating. No additional seasoning is
needed for efficient use. Before using, remove protective coating with
vinegar and water and rinse well. After rinsing, coat griddle well with
an unsalted cooking oil or spray.

GGrriillll ((IIff aapppplliiccaabbllee))

The grates should be removed and washed in hot soapy water,
rinsed and then replaced prior to use. Other grill parts should be
removed, dusted, and replaced making sure that no flammable
materials have been accidentally placed in the grill.

DDrriipp TTrraayy//PPaann

The drip tray should be pulled out and checked for flammable
materials. Make sure to unwrap the drip pan and replace it in its
proper place under the griddle or grill (if applicable).

18. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during
power outage.

19. A risk of tip-over may result if the appliance is not installed in
accordance with installation instructions including excessive
loading of the oven door or from abnormal usage.

20. Do not attempt to operate the appliance during power failure.

21. Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may
cause the container to explode and result in injury.

22. Never sit, step, stand, or lean on any part of the oven, or injury
may result.

23. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.

24. Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good, tight seal.
Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

F, warm air is radiated from the U­shaped bake burner in 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
inhibits growth of microorganisms and
retards the activity of enzymes. It is
important to remember that
dehydration does not improve the
quality , so only fresh, top-quality
foods should be used.

CCOONNVVEECCTTIIOONN DDEEFFRROOSSTT
With temperature control off, air is
circulated by a motorized fan in the
rear of the oven. The fan accelerates
natural defrosting of the food without
heat. To avoid sickness and food
waste, do not allow defrosted food to
remain in the oven for more than two
hours.

This range features an automatic
pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During
this cycle, the oven reaches elevated
temperatures in order to burn off soils
and deposits. A powder ash residue
is left in the bottom of the oven after
completion of the self-clean cycle.
When oven has cooled, remove ash
with a damp sponge or cloth.

•Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in utensils that are
poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast-iron.
Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the
utensil diameter. This will ensure more even heating within the utensil
and reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.

•Reduce the flame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the utensil.
A flame that extends along the sides of the utensil is potentially
dangerous, heats the utensil handle and kitchen instead of the food,
and wastes energy.

•Reduce the flame height to the minimum level necessary to perform
the desired cooking process. Remember that food cooks just as
quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a rolling boil. Maintaining a
higher boil than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away moisture, and
causes a loss in food flavor and nutrient level.

To light the surface burners, turn the appropriate control knob
counter clockwise to any position. This control is both a gas valve and
an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “on” position with the
automatic reignition system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the
burners will automatically reignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is
permitted to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking.
On all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking” sound. If you do
not, turn off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that
the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.

Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the
burner to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any
position to adjust the flame size. Setting the proper height for the
desired cooking process and selected utensil will result in superior
cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.

•Turn on ventilator (separate product).

•Turn control knob to HI.

•Preheat on HI for 5 to 10 minutes.

•Place food on grill, cook as desired.

GGrriillll CCooookkiinngg TTiippss

•When grilling chicken, roasts, well done steaks or chops and thick
pieces of meat, sear on HI. Then, reduce the heat setting to prevent
excessive flare-up. This will allow the food to cook through without
burning the outside.

•After steaks, chops, or hamburgers have been allowed to sear for
approximately 1 minute, you may slide a spatula under the meat and
turn it approximately 90

o

so that a waffle pattern will be seared onto

the food.

•Use a metal spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat. A
spatula will not puncture the meat allowing juices to escape.

•Turn the meat over only once. Juices are lost when steaks, chops or
hamburgers are turned several times. The best time to turn the meat
is after the juices have begun to bubble to the surface.

•To test for doneness, make a small slash in the center of the meat, not
the edge. This will prevent loss of juices.

•Occasionally there may be flare-ups or flames above the grill due to
drops of fat falling onto the flame spreader. It is normal to have some
flare-up during grilling. Use a long handled spatula to move food to
another area until the flames subside.

Turning the thermostat counter clockwise to any “on” position
activates a glo-bar igniter and opens an electromechanical valve in the
system to start the gas valve. The griddle has a power “ON” light
which glows when the griddle thermostat is turned on. the light cycles
on and off with the burner. It is not possible to use both the infrared
burner and the bake burners at the same time. The design of the
system will not permit this, both for control of bake/broiler and for
safety of use.

•Turn the griddle control knob to desired temperature setting.

•Always turn off when not in use, or lower the heat between cooking

loads.

CCooookkiinngg TTiippss

•Preheat griddle to the desired temperature. Wait until light cycles off

for indication that the desired temperature has been reached and the
griddle is preheated.

•Use liquid cooking oil, cooking sprays, or butter for eggs, pancakes,

French toast, fish and sandwiches. This will help to reduce sticking.
Meats usually have enough natural oils.

•Remove food particles with a metal spatula during cooking to make

the cleanup easier and to avoid including those particles in the food.

•Do not overheat the griddle. Turn off when not in use, or lower heat

between cooking loads.

•After using and cleaning the griddle, the surface should be wiped with

a light film of cooking oil to protect the finish from rust and corrosion.

Convection baking is the process of cooking food with a flow of heated
air circulating throughout the oven cavity. The even circulating of this
air equalizes the temperature throughout the oven cavity and
eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional ovens. This
feature can make a significant difference in foods prepared in the oven.
A major benefit of convection baking is the ability to prepare food in
quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible . . . a feature
not possible in a standard oven. With this heating system, the air is
distributed evenly throughout the oven by the hot air fan. The heat

Each convection oven is equipped with three tilt-proof racks, and each

convectional oven is equipped with three-tilt proof racks. All ranges
have six rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from the oven bottom.
Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can be easily
removed and arranged at various levels. For best results with
conventional baking, do not use more than one rack at a time. It is
also recommended when using two racks, to bake with the racks on
position 5 and 3.

additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of
the oven. The cool air is quickly replaced-improving the already high
performance of the infrared broil burner.

•Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require
adjustment and testing when converting from standard to convection
modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by preparing the
recipe in conventional bake. After achieving acceptable results, follow
the convection guidelines listed for the similar food type. If the food
is not prepared to your satisfaction during the first convection trial,
adjust only one recipe variable at a time (cooking time, rack position,
or temperature) and repeat the convection test. Continue adjusting
one recipe variable at a time until satisfactory results are achieved.

•Make sure the oven racks are in the desired positions before you turn
the oven on.

•For best results, always preheat the oven with the convection fan off.

•Do not open the oven door frequently during baking. If you must
open the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking
time.

•Bake to shortest time suggested and check for doneness before
adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in
the center of the product should come clean when done.

•Use good quality baking pans and sizes recommended in the recipe;
warped, dented, or burned pans should not be used.

•Shiny metal pans are preferred for baking items such as cakes,
cookies, and muffins because they produce light, golden crusts due to
heat being reflected by the metal.

•Glass pans may also be used for cake baking. Reduce the oven
temperature by 25 degrees when using a glass pan, but bake for the
same amount of time called for in the recipe.

•Pies are best baked in pans which absorb and hold heat. Glass,
enamel, dull-finished metal, and porcelain enamel finish give pies a
golden brown crust.

Always use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven. The hot
air must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted. Do not
cover what is being roasted. Convection roasting seals in juices quickly
for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have a light, crispy skin, and
meats will be browned, not dry or burned. Cook meats and poultry
directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or poultry to
stand at room temperature.

•Always roast meats fat side up. No basting is required when the fat
side is up. Do not add water to the pan, as this will cause a steamed
effect. Roasting is a dry-heat process.

•Poultry should be placed breast side up on the grid in the broiler pan.
Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during
roasting.

•For convection roasting, do not use pans with tall sides, as this will
interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.

•If using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use conventional
baking rather than convection.

•When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the
center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry, insert the
thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part
of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat,
or gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat
thermometer 2/3 of the way through the recommended roasting time.
After reading the thermometer once, insert it 1/2” (1.3 cm) further into
the meat, then take a second reading. If the second reading registers
below the first, continue cooking the meat.

•Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape, and quality of
meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in the
conventional bake setting and may require moist cooking techniques.
Remove roasted meats from the oven when the thermometer registers
5

O

F to 10oF (-15oC to -12oC) lower than the desired doneness. The
meat will continue to cook after removal from the oven. Allow roasts
to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in order to make carving
easier.

•Always use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to

provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking
surface to help prevent spatter, smoke and fire.

•Place broiler pan with food in recommended rack position.

•To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.

•Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to

prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler grid.

•Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time,

season and turn. Season second side just before removing.

•Always pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing food.

•Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. Never pierce meat with a fork

as this allows the juices to escape.

•Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food.

Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated oven after
broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel over grid. Drizzle
with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over grid. This will
make cleaning of the pan easier, or the broiler pan can be lined with
aluminum foil to make cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up the
side of the pan. Although it is not recommended, the grid can also
be covered with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with the
openings in the grid so melted fat can drain through to prevent
spattering, smoking or possibility of grease fire.

The broiler is an in-the-oven infrared broiler design-certified for
residential use. The method preferred by professional cooks to sear in
the nutrition, flavors, and juices of meat, poultry, and fish is now
possible in the home. The infrared broiler cooks up to 50% faster than
other methods. Its intense, penetrating heat produces a more
attractive, professional finish. The broil burner heats the metal screen
located at the top of the oven until it glows. The glowing screen
produces the infrared heat, searing the outside of broiled food and
sealing in the juices.

Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or indirect radiant
heat. It is used for small individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and
patties. Broiling is most successful for cuts 1-2 inches (2.54-5.1 cm)
thick. Conventional broiling is also more suitable for flat pieces of
meat.

IInnffrraarreedd CCoonnvveeccttiioonn BBrrooiilliinngg

Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly quicker
than conventional. Convection broiling of meats produces better
results especially for extra thick cuts. The meat sears on the outside
and retains more juices and natural flavor inside with less shrinkage.

RRaacckk PPoossiittiioonnss::
The broiler uses infrared heat rays to help cook the food. Because
these rays can travel only in straight lines, the effective cooking area of
the broiler is reduced when using the higher rack positions. At high
rack positions, the rays cannot reach all corners of the broiler grid, so
larger pieces of meat
might not broil
sufficiently at the outer
edges. Position 6 is the
closest to the broiler
and position 1 is the
closest to the oven
bottom. The effective
cooking areas on the
broiler grid for each rack
position are as follows:

This range features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During
this cycle, the oven reaches elevated tempertures in order to burn off
soil and deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the
oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. The door latch is
automatically activated after selecting the self-clean setting. The latch
ensures that the door cannot be opened while the oven interior is at
clean temperatures.

If power failure occurs, the electric ignitors will not work. The range
surface burners can still be used, but only when the burners are lit
manually with a match. The griddle cannot be used at all. Do not
attempt to operate the oven. Make sure the oven control is in the
“OFF” position.

and the possibility of personal injury in
attempting to light and extinguish the burner, the grill should, under no
circumstances, be used during a power failure. The grill burner control
should always remain in the “OFF” position during a power failure.

Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected
only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range
will function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or
may not affect range operation, depending on how severe the power
loss is.

If the range is in the self-clean cycle when the power failure occurs,
wait until power is restored and allow door to unlock automatically.
Turn all controls off and restart self-clean cycle again, according to
instructions.
