2. Center the Burner Cap/s on top of the Burner Head. The Burner Cap must be in a flat, horizontal position.

WARNING: Always keep the Burner Caps in place when using the burners.
WARNING: It is important to install the Burner parts in the correct order. Incorrect assembly could cause flames or gas to escape or burn between parts, resulting in poor combustion or damage to your range top.

BURNER GRATES

• There are 4 Cast Iron Burner Grates. Secure the grates vertically, side-by-side on  top of the burners.
• Improper installation of the grates may result in scratching of the cooktop and/or poor combustion.
• Always use the Burner Grates, and never place cookware directly on the Burners.

GRIDDLE

The Griddle can be placed on the range cooktop on top of any one of the four Burner Grate positions.

The griddle is reversible, such that both sides, flat and ridged can be heated. Ensure the grease trap is positioned toward the front of the range, rather than toward the Top Vent.

OVEN RACKS

There are 2 Oven Racks for each oven. Slide the Stainless Steel Oven Racks into any of the positions on the fixed Oven Rack Guides. The opening on the rack should be positioned closest to the oven door. Use the opening to assist with removal, together with the use of an oven mitt/potholder.

BURNER KNOB REPLACEMENT

Some Gas Range models include an alternative set of Burner Knobs that can be used to replace the original knobs based on personal preference.

1. To remove the original knobs, pull firmly until the knob is released from the control panel.
2. To attach replacement knobs, align the hole of the knob with the pin on the control panel and push on firmly.

BEFORE FIRST USE

CLEAN

• Remove any packaging and protective films.
• Remove any residue oil or grease from the manufacturing process:

COOKTOP: Wash the removable parts (Burner Grates, Griddle, Burner Caps and Burner Heads) of the cooktop in a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap. Dry thoroughly. Wipe the cooktop surface with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Assemble the burner parts in the correct order. (See ‘COMPONENT PART ASSEMBLY’.)
OVEN: Wash the oven racks in a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap and dry. Wipe down the interior of the oven and the Oven Rack Guides with a clean damp cloth. Dry thoroughly before installing the parts. (See ‘COMPONENT PART ASSEMBLY’.)

IMPORTANT:
The oven and broiler should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils. Turn Oven 1 to 450°F and Oven 2 to 500°F for 20 to 30 minutes. Then turn Oven 2 to ‘BROIL’ for the same length of time. You may wish to turn on the ventilator above your range at this time. Turn the ovens off and allow to cool with the door closed.

CHECK

• Once the gas and power are connected, check that all range controls are in the “off” position and turn on the main gas supply valve.
• Check for gas leaks at all gas connections (using a gas detector, never a flame).
• Check ignition of cooktop burners.
• Check the flame. When properly installed, the flame will be steady and quiet and approximately 1” in height.

When burning natural gas (NG), the burner flames should be sharp and almost completely blue with possibly a small hint of yellow in the center of the flame as seen in figure ‘A’. When burning liquid propane (LP), the flames will usually have a yellow tip as seen in figure ‘B’. If the flame is mostly yellow in color as seen in figure ‘C’, this indicates a problem. Discontinue use and seek assistance from a licensed gas service. Note: foreign material in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial operation.

• Check ignition of oven burner.
• Visually check heating elements of both ovens. Carefully lift the panel on the interior floor of each oven. Turn on the ovens to check the heating elements heat fully. Turn off ovens and allow to cool before returning the floor panels.
• Visually check the broil heating element of Oven 2.
• Check operation of convection fan of Oven 2.

IMPORTANT:

• Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time your new appliance is heated.
• The harmless odor will dissipate after a short time and does not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect.

COOKTOP OPERATION

BEFORE USING BURNERS

• Select the cookware to match the burner. (Large Diameter = Large Burner, Small Diameter = Small Burner)
• Using oversized cookware may cause the flames to spread out and may cause damage. The proper cookware size will also improve efficiency.
• Cookware with a smaller diameter than the grate will not sit correctly, and this creates a spillage hazard.
• Only use heat-resistant cookware, marked safe for gas cooktops.
• Thick cookware bases will give more even results, as hot spots are reduced due to better heat distribution. Thin cookware bases will conduct heat faster but not as evenly as thick cookware. Stir the food frequently to prevent burning.
• Always place the cookware on the grate. The cookware must not be placed directly on the burner.
• Always place the cookware on the grate. The cookware must not be placed directly on the burner.
• Use the following table as a guideline to which style burner is suitable for which cooking style:

keeping things hot: cooked and precooked dishes
RAPID| Escalopes, steaks, omelets, frying| Rice, white sauce, ragout| Steaming: fish,

vegetables

SEMI-RAPID

| Steamed potatoes, fresh vegetables, vegetable stews, pasta| Reheating, keeping things hot and making casseroles

AUXILIARY

| Cooking: casseroles, rice pudding, caramel| Defrosting and slow cooking: vegetables, fruit and frozen products| Melting: butter, chocolate, jelly

COOKTOP BURNER IGNITION

1. To light the surface burners, push and turn the corresponding Burner Control Knob counterclockwise to the ‘HI’ position. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.
   IMPORTANT: When one burner is turned to the ‘HI’ position, all the burners will spark. Do not touch any burner cap, burner base, or igniter while the igniters are sparking. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on.

2. When a flame is visible, keep the Burner Control Knob pressed and continue to turn the knob counterclockwise to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays at ‘HI’, it will continue to click.
   The burner can be continuously regulated between highest and lowest flame.
   Note: The outer flame of the Double Burner will go out when the Burner Knob is rotated to simmer (SIM). Rotate clockwise to re-ignite the outer flame.

3. To turn OFF, turn the Burner Control Knob clockwise back to the dot/off position. The gas supply will stop and the flame will go out.

• If the flame goes out prematurely while trying to ignite, turn the Burner Control Knob clockwise to the off position. Wait at least 5 minutes for any gas to dissipate before attempting to reignite. You may have to keep the Burner Control Knob pressed a little longer.
• The Range has an Auto-Reignition feature to accommodate for situations where the flame goes out due to external causes such as a draft or door slamming. The burners will automatically spark to reignite the flame, preventing gas leaking inadvertently.

IMPORTANT: The appliance can be damaged if you:

• turn the knob without pushing in
• turn clockwise to turn on
• turn counterclockwise to turn off

TURNING ON IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE

If there is a power loss, you can ignite the flame manually, e.g., with a utility lighter.

1. Push in the Burner Control Knob and turn counterclockwise to the ‘HI’ position.
2. Keep the Knob pushed in and ignite the escaping gas-air mixture with a utility lighter (that is a minimum 6” in length).
3. When lit, keep pushed in and turn the knob to the desired setting.

IMPORTANT: If the flame is blown out during a power failure, turn the knob immediately to OFF, as the burner will not automatically relight and gas may escape.

FLAME REGULATION

Once the flame is ignited, rotate the Burner Control Knob to regulate the flame.

• To reduce the flames from a high to a low setting, push the corresponding knob in and turn counterclockwise.
• To increase the flames from a low to a high setting, push in and turn the Burner Control Knob clockwise.
• 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 needs to cook over low heat for a long time.
• The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your range. This setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling and pasta cooking.
• The flame should be regulated so that it never protrudes beyond the cookware. Since the outer part of the gas flame is much hotter than the center of the flame, the flame tips should remain under the base of the cookware. Protruding flame tips give off unnecessary heat into the air and can damage pot handles and increase the risk of burning.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• If possible, cook in covered pots or pans. This prevents unnecessary heat loss.
• Cook with less water.
• After cooking or frying, promptly set to a lower flame.
• Generally, wide/shallow pans will heat quicker and cook more evenly than narrow/tall ones.

WARNING: NEVER USE THIS APPLIANCE AS A SPACE HEATER TO HEAT OR WARM THE ROOM. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND OVERHEATING.

GRIDDLE OPERATION

The Griddle offers a versatile cooking surface to cook many food items and allows for easy flipping with no side edges. The flat side is perfect for pancakes, bacon, eggs, French toast, hash browns, and hamburgers, while the grooved side it perfect to sear or char meats such as steaks or sausages.

1. Place the Griddle on top of any one of the four Burner Grates, with preferred cooking surface facing upwards.
2. To heat the Griddle, ignite the two burners that sit beneath the Griddle. (It is possible to light only one for smaller food portions).
3. Prior to cooking, add vegetable oil or another shortening to the Griddle. This will prevent sticking.
4. As the griddle is Cast Iron, it will require preheating (approx 10-12 mins). Use a Low to Medium flame setting. The cast iron properties will heat up slowly and will stay warm, so high heat is typically not required. If you do need to use high heat, lower the setting once the desired heat has been reached.
5. When finished and the Griddle is still hot, scrape grease into the grease collection trap after use.
6. Clean the Griddle. See ‘CLEANING’ instructions.

Note: The Griddle can be placed in the oven and is safe to use up to 500°F.

WARNING: Use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant nylon utensils to avoid scratching the surface of the Griddle. Never cut food directly on the Griddle.

CAUTION: The surface of the Griddle is hot after use. Please allow sufficient time for the Griddle to cool prior to cleaning.

OVEN OPERATION

BEFORE USING THE OVENS

When using the appliance for the first time, the oven and broiler burners should be turned on to burn off any manufacture oils. See ‘BEFORE FIRST USE’ for further details.

WARNING: Oven Vent

Do not block the Top Vent of the range, nor the ducts of the door for cool air intake and exhaust. It is important that the flow of hot 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 – they may become hot.

WARNING: Oven Internal Air Flow

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.

WARNING: Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil or other material to line the oven floor or side walls or any other porcelain surface. Failure to adhere to this notice will damage the porcelain interior. Further, the aluminum foil traps heat and may create a fire hazard.

OVEN FUNCTIONS

CONVENTIONAL / NATURAL AIR FLOW – OVEN 1 & OVEN 2 

Both ovens, small and large, operate as conventional ovens. Heat is transferred into the oven from the heating element in the bottom of the oven cavity. Heat is then circulated by natural airflow. This is a traditional bake setting.

Conventional cooking is best for less tender cuts of meat that should be covered, covered one-dish recipes, and pizzas.

To prevent any issue with over or under-cooked food, rotate your pans throughout the baking time.

When the oven is turned on, the Indicator Light will illuminate on the Control Panel indicating that the oven is preheating. The light will turn off when the temperature is reached and will turn on again when maintaining temperature.

Operation

To set the oven temperature, press and turn the oven control knob counterclockwise to the desired temperature. The oven indicator light illuminates and preheat begins.

Oven 1 – Up to 450°F
Oven 2 – Up to 500°F

CONVECTION – OVEN 2

The convection function can be set on Oven 2 only. Heat is transferred from the heating element in the bottom of the oven cavity to the oven cavity itself. The convection fan in the rear of the oven then circulates the heat. This convection process provides more even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity. Convection cooking is faster, can be accomplished at lower temperatures and provides more even temperatures than regular cooking.

Convection cooking is preferred for tender cuts of meat and poultry, air leavened baked foods, breads, cakes, and cookies. For best results, cook foods uncovered in low-sided pans.

Operation

To use convection, turn the Oven Control Knob of Oven 2 counterclockwise to the desired temperature. The oven indicator light will illuminate. Press in the Convection Fan button on the Control Panel, and it will illuminate blue. The fan works independently and can be turned off at any time during the cooking process by pushing the button in again.

Defrost

With Oven Control Knob set to off, the motorized Convection 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 defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours without being cooked.

Dehydrate

Turn the Oven Control Knob to 175°F and turn on the Convection Fan. Over a period of time, water is removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes.

BROIL

Broiling is a method of cooking food directly under an infrared broiler in the oven. The top heating element of the oven will radiate downwards and provide high direct heat to quickly cook the food’s surface, searing and sealing in juices. Ideal for tender cuts of meat. The Broil feature temperature is 500˚F.

Operation

The Broil function can be operated from Oven 2 only. Push and turn the corresponding Oven Control Knob counterclockwise to the ‘BROIL’ function.
To turn off, push and turn the knob clockwise to the off position.

Preheating

Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove any broiler pan before preheating with the infrared broiler as foods will stick on hot metal.) Preheat for approximately 2 minutes, or when the burner is deemed hot. Preheating is not necessary when broiling meat well-done.

How To Broil

1. Use a broiler pan with insert. DO NOT use aluminum foil on a broiler pan insert. The exposed grease could catch fire.
2. Place the food on the broiler pan insert.
3. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan and position directly under the broil burner.
4. Close the door and turn the Oven Control Knob to the ‘BROIL’ function.
5. Broil one side until the food is browned. Using pot holders, turn and cook on the second side

IMPORTANT: Door must be closed during broiling operation.

• Note: Rack position affects doneness.
• It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present for a broiled flavor.
• You should never broil for longer than 10 minutes, as this could lead to burnt food or even fire. For foods with longer cooking times, it’s best to use your broiler to create a crispy crust, either at the beginning or end of the cooking process. For further cooking, place in the oven in a centered position at a temperature between 300 and 450°F.

OVEN LIGHT
The oven lights for each oven can be turned on using the oven’s corresponding light button located on the Control Panel. Push in to turn on and the button will illuminate.
Push again to turn off.

WARNING: NEVER USE THIS APPLIANCE AS A STORAGE SPACE. NEVER USE THE APPLIANCE OVEN DOORS FOR LEANING, STEPPING OR SITITING AS THIS IS HAZARDOUS AND MAY CAUSE INJURY.

WARNING: NEVER USE THIS APPLIANCE AS A SPACE HEATER TO HEAT OR WARM THE ROOM. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND OVERHEATING.

CARE AND CLEANING

The range and its components should be cleaned after each use to avoid build up of food residue and possible staining or discoloring. Only clean the parts listed in the following instructions.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of burns or electrical shock, ensure that all burner controls are in the OFF position and that all components are completely cool before cleaning.

IMPORTANT: Remove any soiling immediately, including acidic and sugary spills. Spilled food may discolor the burners or other components.

GRIDDLE

• When you are finished cooking and the Griddle is still warm, scrape off all the food residue and cooked bits from your Griddle using a non-scratch tool.
• Always allow your Griddle to cool before handling and washing.
• The enamel surface develops a natural patina that will provide a non stick surface with use. To maintain the patina, when cool, use a paper towel to remove excess grease and oil and wash or wipe with water. Dry thoroughly.
• For a thorough clean, soak the Griddle in hot water. Then wash with water and a mild dish soap. Hand washing is recommended to maintain the enamel finish. Never place a hot Griddle in cold water to prevent thermal shock.
• For stubborn stains, use a paste of baking soda and water and apply with a soft brush. Wash with water and mild dish soap.
• Avoid using harsh abrasives, oven cleaners, or scouring pads to maintain the enamel finish on the Griddle. Nylon or soft abrasive pads/brushes may be used.
• Immediately dry thoroughly. Avoid leaving to air-dry as this can promote rust should there be any chipped or scratched areas.

BURNER GRATES

• Clean with a sponge and mild solution of liquid dish soap and warm water. If necessary, use a soft kitchen brush with a paste of baking soda and water.
• Dry thoroughly.
• NOT dishwasher safe.
• Note: the grates have rubber pads on the feet to protect the appliance from scratches. Take caution while cleaning to protect the rubber pads. Should they come off, they can be reapplied using a heat-resistant adhesive.

BURNER CAPS AND BURNER HEADS

• It is important to keep Burner Caps and Burner Heads (in particular the ports) clean of any food soils as this can clog or limit the gas flow.
• Soak parts in a solution of mild liquid dish soap and warm water for 20 30 minutes, then clean with a non-abrasive sponge.
• Do not use stainless steel cleaner, as these parts are not stainless steel.
• If necessary, use a soft kitchen brush or toothbrush to clean stains and ports of the Burner Head.
• Dry thoroughly before reassembly. Any wet ports will prevent the flame from igniting.
• NOT dishwasher safe.

Note: The surfaces of the burner parts and grates become slightly duller over time.
This is normal and does not indicate any impairment of the material.

PORCELAIN COOKTOP

• Remove the Burner Grates (and the Burner Caps and Burner Heads if required). Use a damp clean sponge, soft cloth, or nylon pad to wipe over the cooktop surface.
• Soak baked or hardened spills with a small amount of water.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, rust removers, waxes, polishes, commercial cooktop cleaners, steel wool, metal scrapers, or sharp objects to clean the cooktop.
• Always dry the surface completely with a lint-free kitchen towel to prevent limescale deposits.
• Never use a steam cleaner to clean this cooktop. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components.
• Keep the igniter in the burner base dry. If it gets wet, it will not spark.

PORCELAIN OVEN INTERIOR

Porcelain is made from natural materials and, therefore, can chip or develop fine lines and cracks due to the expansion and contraction that occurs as the oven temperature fluctuates. This can result in cosmetic imperfections, such as a cloudy, dull, or scratched appearance.

• For best results, wipe up spills and splatters (especially sugary, acidic, and tomato-based sauces) as soon as the range has cooled to avoid staining of the surface. If spills are allowed to cook on the surface, they may permanently stain. Never wipe up a hot porcelain surface with a damp sponge. It may cause chipping or hair line cracks.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, rust removers, waxes, polishes, steel wool, metal scrapers, or sharp objects to clean the oven interior.
• Wash the entire oven cavity with mild liquid dish soap and warm water.
• Blemishes that remain should not affect the function of the porcelain.
• Note: For easier cleaning, the bottom oven panel is removable by simply lifting up when cool.

IMPORTANT: Do not clean the oven gasket. The fiberglass material cannot withstand abrasion and rubbing and moving the gasket may compromise the door seal.

OVEN DOOR

• Clean with a solution of mild liquid dish soap and warm water and a damp sponge. Rinse well.
• Do not allow excess water to run into any holes or slots in the door, including around the glass frame. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders of harsh abrasives on the external side of the door.
• You may use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the oven door to remove fingerprints or smears. Dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.

OVEN RACKS AND RACK GUIDES

• Remove the Oven Racks from the oven by sliding out. The Oven Rack Guides can be unscrewed for thorough cleaning.
•  Clean with a solution of detergent and hot water. To clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water and a mild abrasive such as a paste of baking soda and water or oven dedicated cleaning products.
• Dishwasher Safe.

CONTROL PANEL, BURNER KNOBS AND DOOR HANDLE

• Clean with a solution of mild liquid dish soap and warm water and a damp cloth. Wipe in the direction of the grain.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers; they will permanently damage the finish and printed surfaces.
• Do not use any cleaning product containing chlorine bleach.
• Dry the components with a soft, lint-free cloth.

TOP VENT

• The stainless-steel top vent can be removed by unscrewing.
• Use a non-abrasive stainless-steel cleaner to spray on any grease build up on the underside of the vent. Leave to penetrate.
• Wash with hot water and a mild dish soap.
• Thoroughly dry before reattaching.

STAINLESS-STEEL BODY

• Use a non-abrasive stainless-steel cleaner and apply with a soft lint-free cloth.
• To bring out the natural luster, lightly wipe the surface with a water dampened microfiber cloth followed by a dry polishing chamois. Always follow the grain of the stainless steel.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT

• Turn off the power at the main power supply.
• To prevent electrical shock or personal injury, make sure the oven and light bulb are cool and power to the oven has been turned off before replacing the light bulb.
• Remove the lens cover from the housing by pulling straight out then replace with a 25W appliance bulb.
• Make sure the lens cover is in place prior to using the oven again.
