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. No oven liner protection 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 build-up.
15. Once the unit is installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated. 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).
16. The flueway must also remain clear.
17. 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.
18. Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and other flammable liquids.
19. Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.

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. A qualified technician is required for any adjustments or conversions to Nat. or LP gas.
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,

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.

Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from the wok. Clean thoroughly with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil (do not use corn oil) to the entire inside surface with a paper towel. Heat the wok on medium setting until the cooking surface turns golden brown. Repeat this procedure several times. This seasoning seals the pores of the metal, keeps food from sticking, and prevents the wok from rusting. Wipe off excess oil before using or storing.

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 be able 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.

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 at 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 it 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.
10
SSuurrffaaccee CCooookkiinngg TTiippss
•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.

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.

NNaattuurraall AAiirrffllooww BBaakkiinngg This conventional baking/roasting is particularly suitable for dishes
which require a high temperature. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner. This type of baking is only recommended for single-rack baking.
CCoonnvveeccttiioonn BBaakkiinngg For all convection functions, the convection fan switch on the right side of the control panel must be turned “ON”.
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 therefore reaches the food to be baked or roasted more quickly. With this heating method, foods can be baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste transfer, even when different dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish, or meat. The hot air system is especially economical when thawing frozen food.
RRaacckk PPoossiittiioonnss Each convection oven is equipped with three tilt-proof racks, and each
convectional oven is equipped with two-tilt proof racks. All ranges have five rack positions and the 24” deep models have an additional 6th rack position. Position 5 or 6 (depending on the model) 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 4 and 2.

F. For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat the oven when baking cakes and other items that have critical baking temperatures. After the temperature control has been set, the Oven Indicator light goes out when the oven reaches that temperature. Preheating takes no longer than 10-15 minutes.

•As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection recipes, reduce the temperature by 25
0
F and the cooking time by
approximately 10 to 15%.
•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.
•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.

1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired position BEFORE heating the oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time, use rack positions 2 and 4.
2. Set the Temperature Control to the desired temperature.

•When using large (15” x 13” [38 cm x 33 cm]) flat pans or trays that
cover most of the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.
•Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans
are used. No pan should be directly above another.
•Allow 1 1/2” to 2” (3.8 cm to 5.1 cm) of air space around all sides of
each pan for even air circulation.
•When baking on more
than one rack, it is recommended to use the 2nd and 4th position for more consistent even baking.

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:
1155%% 2200%% 3355%% 4455%% 6655%% 9955%%

1. After using the griddle, always remove the drip pan located below it by pulling the drip pan toward you. The drip pan needs to be cleaned after each use of the griddle. Cooked-off grease will drain from the griddle through the drain tube and accumulate in the drip pan. Wash in hot soapy water or with an antibacterial cleaner. The drip pan needs to be cleaned after each use. If grease is permitted to accumulate, fire hazard could occur, since the griddle burners are directly above the pan.
2. Rub the surface of a hot griddle with unsalted solid shortening, vegetable oil or spray it with a non-stick cooking spray. Thoroughly wipe it with a burlap or another rough cloth to remove food particles and other residue.
3. Stubborn spots may be removed by rubbing the surface with a rough grained nylon scrubbing pad with cooking oil. If necessary, flush the surface of a warm griddle (200oF/93oC) with club soda and wipe over entire surface with a paper towel. Coat lightly with cooking oil.
4. Special griddle cleaners are commercially available which may be used to remove heavy soil build-up. Follow manufacturer’s directions exactly. Rinse the griddle with room temperature club soda after using these cleaners. Dry and coat lightly with cooking oil. Use griddle stones only when absolutely necessary and then with extreme caution. Wipe away any griddle-stone dust and food particles and coat lightly with cooking oil.
5. Using hot soapy water to clean the griddle will remove the cooked­in seasoning and will require re-seasoning by coating lightly with cooking oil.

Clean with detergent and warm water. Glass cleaner can be used to remove fingerprints. If using glass cleaner ammonia, make sure that it does not run down on exterior door surface.
To disassemble for thorough cleaning, remove parts after they have cooled in the following order:
Clean greasy parts with a household grease solvent such as household ammonia and water. If necessary, a soap filled steel wool pad can be used on the grill frame shield, grill burner, and grill heat deflector.
After using the grill, always remove the drip pan located below it by pulling the drip pan toward you. The drip pan needs to be cleaned after each use of the griddle. Cooked-off grease will drain from the griddle through the drain tube and accumulate in the drip pan. Wash in hot soapy water or with an antibacterial cleaner. The drip pan needs to be cleaned after each use. If grease is permitted to accumulate, fire hazard could occur, since the grill burners are directly above the pan.

GGrriillll The grill grate may be cleaned immediately after cooking is complete and before turning off the flame. Wearing a barbecue mitt to protect your hand from heat, use a soft bristle barbecue brush to scrub the grill grate. Dip the brush frequently in a bowl of water. Steam is created as the water contacts the hot grate. The steam assists the cleaning process by softening the food particles. For thorough cleaning of the grill grate, soak 15 to 30 minutes in a hot water and detergent solution. After soaking, scrub with a soft scotch brite pad. DO NOT USE a steel wool pad or abrasive cleaners. They could damage the porcelain finish.

For proper lighting and performance of the burner, keep the electric igniter and burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean these only when the flame does not burn blue completely around all rings of the burner, when there is a severe spillover or when the burner does not light, even though the electric spark igniter sparks. Clean the burner by scraping off burned on food soil. Use a wire, a straightened paper clip, or needle to clean the ports.
