Ventilation Air
The following notes are intended to give general guidance.
For detailed recommendations, refer to the applicable code(s) in the country
of destination.
Proper ventilation is critical for optimum performance. The ideal method of
ventilating open-top equipment is the use of a properly designed canopy that
should extend six inches (152 mm), beyond all sides of the appliance(s) and
six feet, six inches (1981mm) above the floor.
A strong exhaust will create a vacuum in the room. For an exhaust vent to work
properly, replacement air must be equal to the amount of exhaust. An imbalance
between
exhaust and replacement air can cause degradation in the appliance’s
performance.
All gas burners and pilots need sufficient air to operate. Large objects
should not be placed in front of the appliance(s) that would obstruct the flow
of air into the front.
Statutory Regulations
The installation of this appliance must be carried out by a competent person
and in accordance with the relevant regulations, codes of practice and the
related publications of the country of destination.
The installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223 .1, or latest edition, NFPA No .54 – latest edition/or local code to assure safe and efficient operation. In Canada, the installation must comply with CSA B149 .1 and local codes.
Gas Connection
The local gas authority should be consulted at the installation planning stage
in order to establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas and to
ensure that the meter is adequate for the required flow rate. The pipework
from the meter to the appliances must be an appropriate size.
All fixed (non-mobile) appliances MUST be fitted with an accessible Upstream
gas shut-off valve as a means of isolating the appliance for emergency shut-
off and for servicing. A union or similar means of disconnection must be
provided between the gas-cock and the appliance.
A manually operable valve must be fitted to the gas supply to the kitchen to
enable it to be isolated in an emergency.
Wherever practical, this shall be located either outside the kitchen or near
an exit in a readily accessible position.
Where it is not practical to do this, an automatic isolation valve system
shall be fitted which can be operated from a readily accessible position near
the exit.
In locations where the manual isolation valve is fitted or the automatic
system can be reset a notice MUST be posted stating:
“ALL DOWNSTREAM BURNER AND PILOT VALVES MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING
TO RESTORE THE SUPPLY.
AFTER EXTENDED SHUT-OFF, PURGE BEFORE RESTORING GAS .”
Installation Notes
Before assembly and connection check the gas supply.
A. The type of gas for which the unit is equipped is stamped on the data plate
located behind the lower front panel. Connect a unit stamped “NAT” only to
natural gas; connect one stamped “PRO” only to propane gas.
B. If it is a new installation have the gas authorities check meter size and
piping to assure that the unit is supplied with the necessary amount of gas
pressure required to operate the unit.
C . If it is additional or replacement equipment have the gas authorities
check the pressure to make certain that the existing meter and piping will
supply fuel to the unit with no more than 0 .15 Kpa pressure drop.
D. Make certain new piping and connections have been made in a clean manner
and have been purged so that piping compound, chips, etc . will not clog
pilots, valves, or burners.
Use pipe joint compound approved for natural and liquefied petroleum gases.
NOTE: Gas pressure should be checked when the unit is installed and all
other equipment on the same line is on. The operating gas pressure must be the
same as that specified on the rating plate. If necessary, pressure adjustment
may be made at the pressure regulator supplied with the appliance. The
appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system where
pressures are in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3 .45kPa .)
Final Preparation
NOTE: Your new range has a plastic coating to help protect the finish
from scratches during shipping. This protective plastic film should be peeled
off prior to starting the range.
TESTING AND ADJUSTMENT
Testing
All fittings and pipe connections must be tested for leaks. Use approved gas
leak detectors, soap solution, or equivalent, checking over and around all the
fittings and pipe connections. DO NOT USE A FLAME! Accessibility to all gas
lines and fittings requires that valve panel(s) lower front panel(s), and/or
oven rack(s) be removed. It may be necessary to remove, or at least raise and
securely prop griddle(s), hot top(s), and/or top grate(s) . All parts removed,
(including fasteners), should be stored safely for reinstallation.
-
Be sure that all valves and thermostats are in the “OFF” position.
-
Turn on the main gas supply valve. Light all top section pilots.
-
Leak test all valves and fittings as described at the beginning of this section. Correct any leaks as required and recheck.
-
Light the oven pilot.
-
Set the oven thermostat to maximum. Leak test all valves and fittings as described at the beginning of this section.
Correct any leaks as required and recheck. -
Shut off all valves and set thermostat dials to “OFF” or lowest position. All units are tested and adjusted at the factory, however, burners and pilots should be checked upon installation and adjusted if necessary.
CAUTION: Gas will flow to the top section burners even if top section pilots are not lit. Gas will not be interrupted. It is the responsibility of the operator to confirm the proper ignition of each burner as it is turned on. Should ignition fail to occur 4 seconds after turning a burner on, turn the burner off, wait 5 minutes, and try again.
OPERATION
Caution: In the event that a binding malfunction valve or thermostat control is observed DO NOT light the pilots or continue operation until an authorized service technician has inspected the appliance. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Open Top burners

PRODUCT APPLICATION INFORMATION
General
The range is the workhorse of the kitchen because of its versatility. Most
frequently used in small applications, such as cafes, schools, church
kitchens, firehouses, and small nursing homes where demands are less taxing.
As a general rule of thumb, one four to six-burner range with a hot top will
be adequate for a restaurant seating 30 to 35.
The top of the range is designed for flexibility and the preparation of
numerous different types of products. It may be equipped with two, or even
three different types of tops and burners, depending on the menu needs. An
operation that cooks to order, or uses the range primarily as a backup will
find that open burners will suit most of their needs.
Preparation of soups, stocks, or sauces is done on a hot top where slow, even
cooking is desirable.
Heating larger quantities of food can be done more efficiently than heating
small quantities. Pots and pans should be covered whenever possible to reduce
energy consumption.
High-acid sauces, such as tomato should be cooked in stainless steel rather
than aluminum to avoid a chemical reaction. Light-colored sauces such as
Alfredo may be discolored by the use of aluminum, especially if stirred with a
metal spoon or whip. Saltwater shellfish may pit aluminum pots if they are
frequently used for this purpose.
NOTE: Many parts of the commercial range are raw steel. Hot tops,
griddles, springs, door hooks, etc ., can react with the moisture forming
rust. This occurrence is normal and not considered a defect. Clean with a
stainless steel or fiber pad. A light coating of cooking oil may be applied.
Open Burners
The most traditional uses of open burners are sautéing, pan frying, and small
stock pot work. Short-term cooking is the most efficient use for the open
burner. Pans should cover as much of the grate as possible to minimize heat
loss. The maximum stock pot size to be used on an open burner is 12 inches,
(305 mm), in diameter. Open burners should be turned off when not in use to
conserve energy. Leaving a flame burning is of no advantage since the heat is
instantaneous.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Seasoning
Griddle
A . Remove all factory-applied protective material by washing with hot water,
mild detergent, or soap solution.
B . Apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the griddle surface, about one ounce
per square foot of griddle surface.
Spread over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to create a thin film.
Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth.
C . Light all burners, set at the lowest possible setting. Some discoloration
will occur when heat is applied to steel.
D . Heat the griddle slowly for 15 to 20 minutes. Then wipe away the oil.
Repeat the procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like
finish. Do this until you have reached the desired cooking temperature.
IMPORTANT: Do not set to a high position (on valve control) during the
“break-in” period
NOTE: Steel griddle surface will tone (blue discoloration) from heat. This
toning will not diminish function or operation and it is not a defect.
The griddle will not require reseasoning if it is used properly.
If the griddle is overheated and the product begins to stick to the surface it
may be necessary to repeat the seasoning process again. If the griddle is
cleaned with soap and water it will be necessary to reseason the griddle
surface.
Cast Iron top Grates
First, remove the cast iron top grates from the range. Wash the cast iron top
grates thoroughly with mild soap and warm water. Dry the cast-iron top grates
thoroughly with a clean cloth. Immediately after drying, season the top grates
lightly with a non-toxic oil, (Liquid vegetable oil or Pam spray oil) WARNING;
DO NOT SEASON THE TOP GRATES WHILE ON THE RANGE TOP! Seasoning grates on the
range top over an open flame could cause a flash fire. After seasoning,
replace the top grates with the range. Turn all the range top sections “ON
LOW”. Allow the top sections to burn in this manner for at least 20 minutes
before using pots or pans on the top grates. SEASONING OF THE TOP GRATES WILL
BE REQUIRED WHENEVER THEY HAVE BEEN CLEANED. FAILURE TO SEASON GRATES WILL
CAUSE RUSTING.
Stainless Steel
For routine cleaning just wash with hot water and detergent solution. Wash
just a small area at a time or the water will evaporate leaving the chemicals
behind and causing streaking.
Rinse the washed area with a clean sponge dipped in a sanitizing solution and
wipe dry with a soft clean cloth before it can dry.
Use a paste (of water and a mild scouring powder) if you have to, but never
rub against the grain. All stainless steel has been polished in one direction.
Rub with the polish lines to preserve the original finish. Then thoroughly
rinse as before.
To prevent fingerprints there are several stainless steel polishes on the
market that leave an oily or waxy film. Do not use on surfaces that will be in
contact with food .
Stainless steel may discolor if overheated. These stains can usually be
removed by vigorous rubbing with a scouring powder paste.
Use only stainless steel, wood, or plastic tools if necessary to scrape off
heavy deposits of grease and oil. Do not use ordinary steel scrapers or
knives, as particles of the iron may become embedded and rust. STEEL WOOL
SHOULD NEVER BE USED.
Either a typical bleach solution or hot water can be used to sanitize
stainless steel .
Oven Interior (Porcelain Enamel)
- Before cleaning the oven interior, remove all oven racks and guides. Oven racks and guides can be cleaned with mild soap and warm water or run through the dishwasher.
- The porcelain interior can be cleaned with oven cleaners such as “Easy Off, or “Dow Oven Cleaner”.
Follow product manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.
Interior Cleaning of Standard Aluminized Steel Interior Surfaces
The oven sides and top linings are formed of heavy gauge steel with aluminum
fused into its surface to provide for the reflectance of heat back to the food
being prepared
and to virtually eliminate the possibility of rust formation.
Establish a regular cleaning schedule or wipe off on the same day when
spillovers occur.
-
Cool down the oven.
-
Remove oven racks.
-
Lift rack guides on either side of the oven off of holders, and pull the top away from the cavity wall, when it’s cleared the clips push down and remove. Racks and guides may
be run through the dishwasher while the oven cavity is being cleaned. -
Use a concentrated detergent on a plastic pad to remove burned soil. Do Not Use Steel Wool, Oven Cleaner, Or Abrasive Powder. These will remove the aluminum. Rinse with warm water on a soft cloth. Be sure to remove all traces of detergent. Any discoloration, which may remain after the soil build-up has been removed, will not affect the performance of the oven.
-
To reinstall reverse procedure. Place the bottom of the rack guide against the cavity wall. Keeping the top pulled away from the wall lift up. Push the top of the rack guide against the wall and push down locking it into place.
Open Top Burners
Cleaning of the range top burner is a simple procedure, and, if done at
regular intervals will prolong the life of the range and ensure good flame
characteristics.
-
The most common problem with open burner ranges is spillage. Once the burner ports are partially plugged with food, the air-to-gas mixture is disturbed and results in an
inefficient burner. -
Wipe any spills as they occur.
-
Grids and trays should be removed daily, washed, rinsed, and dried thoroughly.
-
Use a wire brush to clean the ports of the burners. Ignite and check for clogged holes.
-
If any clogged holes are apparent, the burner should be lifted out and brushed inside and out with a small Venturi brush. Each port on the burner itself should be cleaned
with a properly sized wire or thumb drill. Wash with soap and hot water if grease is observed on the burners. Dry thoroughly. -
When reinstalling the open-top burner head be sure the burner ports are lined up correctly to the pilot. On the cast burner head, there is an extended finger with port
openings, when this is in line with the pilot, the burner is installed correctly.
-
If an abnormal flame appears around the edges, it is usually a sign of grease dirt in the throat of the burner.
Remove the burner venturi (the main body that the burner heads sit on) to access the air shutter opening. Remove grease and dirt from the air shutter area carefully. Do not
adjust the shutter setting. The air shutter allows the proper amount of air to mix with the flow of gas coming in from your valve/thermostat orifice and should not be
adjusted unless by a license gas fitter technician.
Cast Iron Top & Grates
Cast iron top and grate(s) can be cleaned with mild soap and warm water. For
baked-on material, a wire brush can be used. Dry thoroughly. Lightly coat with
vegetable oil to help prevent rust from forming.
Hot Tops
While the surface is still slightly warm, wipe it down with a clean burlap
cloth. Burnt on spillage should be scraped off. If necessary, remove the plate
and wash it in a sink with soap and hot water. Dry thoroughly. In damp
climates, wipe down with a light coating of oil to prevent rusting. Avoid
excessive use of water as this could damage the surface and the controls
below.
NOTE: Steel griddle and hot top surface will “tone” (blue/ brown
discoloration) from heat. This toning will not diminish function or operation
and is not a defect.
Griddle
To produce evenly cooked, browned griddle products, keep the griddle free from
carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of
heat from the griddle surface to food products. This results in uneven
browning and loss of cooking efficiency, and worst of all, carbonized grease
tends to cling to grilled foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and
unappetizing appearance. To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak
performance, follow these simple instructions:
A. AFTER EACH USE clean griddle thoroughly with a grill scraper or spatula.
Wipe off any excess debris left from the cooking process.
B. ONCE A DAY clean the griddle surface with a grill brick and grill pad.
Remove the grease container and clean thoroughly, in the same manner as any
ordinary cooking utensil.
C. ONCE A WEEK clean the griddle surface thoroughly. If necessary, use a grill
stone or grill pad over the griddle surface. Rub with the grain of the metal
while still warm.
A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help clean it, but care must
be taken to be sure it is thoroughly removed. After the removal of detergent,
the surface of the
plate should be covered with a thin film of oil to prevent rusting. To remove
discolorations, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Before re-using, the griddle must
be reseasoned. Keep the griddle drain tube to the grease container clear at
all times .
CAUTION This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft
and can be scored or dented by careless use of a spatula.
Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface.
This will cause food to stick in those areas. Also, note, that since this is a
steel griddle if a light coating of oil is not always present rust will
develop on exposed and uncoated areas.
