Warnings

To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

•Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it.

•Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials. •If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

•NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may cause them to burst.

•Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance. •Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface burner.

•Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods. DO NOT leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire hazard.

In Case of Fire

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor. •Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.

•NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.

•Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door. DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

•GREASE–Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. DO NOT use water on grease fires. Flaming grease can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow grease to collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.

Child Safety

•NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.

•NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.

•DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

•Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.

Cooking Safety

•To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

•ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.

•ALWAYS adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance. This is based on safety considerations.

•NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.

•DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.

•Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.

•ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.

•DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan off.

•NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles. DO NOT drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These items could ignite and cause burns.

•ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy potholders. ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry potholder.

•ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.

•Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before moving or replacing food.

•NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

•PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be contaminated.

•If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.

Warnings

Cooking Safety (con’t)

•Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is wellventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device. Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call for additional (such as opening a window) or more effective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).

Utensil Safety

•Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

•Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

•To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent surface burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by small children.

•NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance. •Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using ovencooking bags.

•Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop surface or oven usage without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.

•This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide, such as eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

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

Induction – Radio Interference

This unit generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this unit does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the unit off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna •Increase the distance between the unit and receiver

•Connect the unit into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Heating Elements

•NEVER touch oven heating elements areas or interior surfaces of oven while cooking.

•Elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near elements and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause burns.

•During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the oven door window.

Cleaning Safety

•Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning them. DO NOT touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

•Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

•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.

•No oven liner protective coating such as aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven. Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep oven free from grease buildup.

Important notice regarding pet birds:

NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

Before Using Your Range

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. There may be some burn off and odors on first use of the appliance—this is normal.

Oven

Important! Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and dry thoroughly. Then set the oven selector to bake, the thermostat to 450°F, and operate for an hour.

All models include:

•Restaurant style sealed burner system for commercial-type performance •Variable simmer setting for all burners provides gentle, even simmering •Heavy duty cast iron burner grates

•All burners equipped with spark ignition system with automatic re-ignition for consistent and reliable ignition •Large capacity electric oven

•Nine high performance cooking functions include proof, bake, convection bake, broil, convection broil, and defrost •A convection fan which allows you to cook foods more throroughly and evenly-even when baking large quantities •Three oven lights for better visibility

•Six rack positions with easy glide racks ensures heavy pans are easily moved

Oven Functions and Settings

Preheat - For best results, it is recommended that you preheat your oven to desired cooking temperature before placing food items in the oven. Partial power from the top broil element and full power from the bake element is used to bring the oven to the preheat temperature.

Proof - Only the light bulbs operate. This will maintain the interior oven temperature between 90 and 105oF which is ideal for all types of yeast breads.

Bake - Full power heat is radiated from the element in the bottom of the oven cavity. This function is recommended for single rack baking. Conventional baking/roasting is particularly suitable for dishes that require a high temperature. Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.

Convection Bake - Full power heat is radiated from the element in the bottom of the oven cavity with the addition of a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. This function provides a more even heat distribution by circulating air throughout the cavity and eliminates hot and cold spots found in conventional baking. Convection baking has the ability to prepare food in quantity using multiple racks.

TruConvec - Only the rear element around the motorized fan operates at full power. There is no direct heat from the bottom or top elements. Use this setting for foods that require gentle cooking such as pastries, souffles, yeast breads, quick breads and cakes.

Defrost - Air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. There is no heat from any of the elements. 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.

Broil- Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct heat from the top element. It is used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops and broiling. Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the food and the broil element.

Convection Broil - the top element operates at full power with the additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Use this setting for broiling thick cuts of meats.

Surface Operation

All ranges are equipped with an exclusive restaurant style sealed burner system. This unique burner system is equipped with three different size burners ranging from 8,500 to 20,500 BTUs.

The 20,500 BTU burners are designed to provide extra high heat output, especially when using large pans, and should be used for boiling large quantities or if you need to bring something to a boil quickly. While the high output burners have the extra power needed to bring large

quantities of liquid to a boil rapidly, they are also able to be turned down low enough to provide a very low and delicate simmer making this the most versatile burner system.

Lighting Gas Burners

All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-flame, “standing” pilots. To light the surface burners, choose the appropriate control knob.

Rear Burner

Control Knob

Off Position

Front Burner

Push and turn the control knob counter clockwise to any position between high and simmer.

Gas Surface Burners-Automatic Re-ignition

This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “ON” position with the automatic re-ignition 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 flame height for the desired cooking process and selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.

Variable Simmer

Simmering is a cooking technique in which foods are cooked in hot liquids kept at or just barely below the boiling point of water. Simmering ensures gentler treatment than boiling to prevent food from toughening and/or breaking up. The size of the pan and the volume of food can have a significant effect on how high or low a flame is needed for simmering. For this reason, the range burners are engineered with a variable simmer setting. This setting is not just one simmer setting, but provides a variable range of simmer settings. The variable range of simmer settings allows you to adjust the flame height to achieve the best simmer depending on the type and quantity of food being simmered.

Surface Cooking Tips

•Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in vessels 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 cooking vessel diameter. This will ensure more even heating within the cooking vessel and reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.

•Reduce the flame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the cooking vessel. A flame that extends along the sides of the vessel 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.

•The minimum pot or pan (vessel) diameter recommended is 6” (15 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible with the trivet accessory.

Cookware

Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cookware that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done. Any and all cookware are suitable for use in the range and it is not necessary to replace your present domestic cookware with commercial cookware. This is a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.

Note: When using big pots and/or high flames, it is recommended to use the front burners. There is more room in the front and potential cleanup at rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.
