FIRST USE
CONDITIONING THE OVEN
Conditioning will burn off any manufacturing residues and ensure that you get
the best results right from the start.
Follow these steps to condition your new stove’s oven:
-
Insert all the shelves. See ‘Positioning the shelves’ for instructions.
-
Turn on the ventilation hood above your range on high.
-
Heat the empty oven at the highest temperature for:
a. 30 minutes using BAKE
b. 30 minutes using BROIL (some ovens only). -
There will be a distinctive smell while you are conditioning the oven. This is normal, but make sure the kitchen is well ventilated during the conditioning.
-
Once cooled, wipe out the oven with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and dry thoroughly.
-
Positioning the shelves
-
Both the sides panel and shelves with safety stop to keep them sliding out of the oven when pulled forward;
-
And the front stop prevents the shelves from against hitting the back of the oven POSITIONING THE SHELVES
-
Insert the shelves
-
Hold the front of both sides of the shelf firmly to keep it in horizontal.
-
Put the shelf on the slot horizontally.
-
Lift the front about 15°upward till the tag of the shelf clear the safety stop of the side rack. Then lower the shelf horizontally and slide all the way into the oven. Other shelves can be installed this way.
COOK TOP SAFETY GUIDELINES
There are dual burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle
simmering (620 BTU/hr.). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter,
cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping
cooked food hot.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boil over causes smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite
Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up on sides. This could
discolor and damage the utensil and you may get burned touching the hot
handle.
Keep handles out of the way. Turn handles so that they don’t extend over the
edge of the range or on a burner that is on.
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly
on a high setting.
Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place. Incorrectly or
incompletely assembled burners may produce dangerous flames. See ‘Replacing
the burner parts’ in ‘Care and cleaning’.
Keep the burners clean, especially after a spill or boil over, make sure you
clean the affected burners before using them again. Food residue may clog the
igniter and the notches of the flame spreader, stopping the burner from
functioning correctly. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
Check that the burner flames. They should be blue with no yellow tipping, and
burn without fluttering all around the burner cap. If not, see
‘Troubleshooting’ for advice. 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.
The 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. 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.
BURNER GRATES
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation
of the grates may result in scratching of the cooktop and / or poor
combustion. OVEN BURNER USE To light the oven burner, push and turn the appropriate control
knob counter clockwise to the (150 F~500 F) 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.
BROIL BURNER USE
To light the broiler burner, push and turn the appropriate control knob
counterclockwise to the broil position. OVEN COOKING
GUIDELINES
Do not block the ducts on the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It
is important that the flow of warm air from the oven and fresh air into the
oven burner never be interrupted. Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby
surfaces during oven or broiler operation because they are hot.
Use all the oven modes with the oven door closed.
Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line the floor of the
oven. The trapped heat can irreversibly damage the enamel and may even cause
fire.
Do not place water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor, as
this will irreversibly damage the enamel.
Do not cover the slotted grid of the broil/roast pan with aluminum foil. This
will catch the grease and could cause fire.
Do not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
For food safety reasons, do not leave food in the oven for longer than two
hours before and after cooking or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination
by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take care during warmer weather.
WARNING
According to the United Sates Department of Agriculture: DO NOT hold foods at
temperatures between 40ºF to 140ºF more than 2 hours. Cooking raw foods below
275ºF is not recommended.
WARNING
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire
rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through
the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil lining may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
OVEN FUNCTION
NATURAL AIRFLOW
BAKE
Occurs when heat is transferred into the oven from the bake burners in the
bottom of the oven cavity. Heat is then circulated by natural airflow. This is
a traditional bake setting.
INFRARED BROIL
The broil burner is located at the top of the oven. This burner heats the
metal screen until it glows. 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.
TO BAKE USING THE CONVECTION FAN:
- Position the oven bottom cover and the oven shelves before using oven.
- Remove any unused shelves and baking utensils from the oven.
- Preheat the oven to the temperature stated in the recipe. Depending on the temperature and the size of the oven, preheating will take around 15-20 minutes.
- Arrange pans and food items evenly on the shelves. Make sure pans do not touch each other or the sides of the oven. When baking a single item, always center the item on the oven shelf. If baking on multiple shelves, make sure you stagger items on the shelves so that one is never directly above another.
- When baking using convection, either reduce the temperature stated in the recipe and leave the baking time unchanged, or reduce the baking time by several minutes and leave the temperature unchanged. For foods with a baking time of over an hour, reducing both the temperature and time slightly may give the best results.
- Dark metal baking pans or those with a dull finish absorb heat faster than shiny pans, and are excellent for pies and breads, or anything that needs browning or a crisper crust.
- A shiny finish may work best for foods that require lighter, delicate browning (e.g. cakes and cookies), as it reflects some heat and gives a less intense baking surface.
- Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking.
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
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 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.
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 C).
The broil pan and insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be
kept away from the
To set the oven to Broil:
- Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the broiler pan insert.
- Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the 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.
- Turn selector knob to Broil.
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
glassceramic 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.
For the models with Griddle
Before Using the Griddle
- Clean the griddle thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove dust or any protective coating.
- Rinse with clean water and wipe off to dry with soft, clean, lint-free cloth.
- A stainless-steel cover when the griddle is not being used is provided. Please note that the cover must be removed before turning the griddle on.
- Make sure the grease tray is under the front edge of the griddle. Position the tray under the griddle overhang to catch grease or food residue.
Use of the griddle
- Push and turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the preferred cooking temperature.
- Preheat the griddle for 10-12 minutes.
- When the griddle is preheated to the desired temperature, the indicator light will turn on.
- Butter or cooking oil can may be added.
CAUTION
The surface of the griddle is hot after use. Please allow sufficient time for
the griddle to cool prior to cleaning.
When using the appliance or the first time. The oven and broiler burners
should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils. Turn the oven on to
450 F (230 C) for 20 to 30 minutes. Then turn the oven control knob to “Broil”
for the same length of time. It is recommended to turn on the ventilator above
the range at this time.
Must disconnect the electrical supply before servicing or cleaning the
appliance.
Failure to follow this advice may result in injury or death.
