FEATURES FEATURES OF RANGES & COOKTOPS COMPONENT Open Top Burners Oven Charbroiler Griddle Misc.
THERMAL vs. CONVECTION BAKING THERMAL BAKING EXPLAINED Thermal baking refers to the use of a standard oven, (no convection), where heat is circulated by means of natural air flow. In thermal baking, heat is emitted by a burner below the oven cavity. The heat rises through the oven cavity and is transferred to the food and oven interior. The continuous supply of heat from the burner causes the heated air to circulate within the oven.
START-UP, OPERATION & CLEAN-UP All units are wiped clean with various solvents or detergents at the factory to remove visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease remaining from the manufacturing process. The steel griddle plates are covered with a thin coat of oil prior to crating. Before cooking, it is important that the various parts of your unit be cleaned. SEE GRIDDLE & CHARBROILER SECTION FOR INFORMATION REGARDING SEASONING PROCEDURES.
OPERATION OPEN TOP BURNERS Start-Up Remove the ring grates and top grates and thoroughly wash them with hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry immediately. Extended exposure to moisture may cause rusting of exposed metal surfaces. Each top grate section has four leveling screws, which may be used to level your grates. Operation To light an open top burner, push, then turn the appropriate control knob to the "HIGH" position. This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch.
OPEN TOP, GRIDDLE, AND CHARBROILER BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS Before attempting to adjust any top burner air shutter, assure the following information has been reviewed and is correct. 1. Gas: a. Proper Type (must match serial plate on product) b. Proper regulator setting (utilizing a manometer) 2. Orifice: a. Properly parallel with the venturi throat of burner.
OVEN Start-Up Before turning on your oven for the first time, remove the oven rack, and thoroughly wash it with hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Wipe down the oven interior with a cloth, using hot, soapy water. Rinse by wiping with a cloth dipped in clear water. Replace the oven rack. Note: During the first few minutes of oven operation, a condensation condition of the oven door is normal.
OVEN BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT Before attempting to adjust the oven burner air shutter, assure the following has been reviewed and is correct: 1. Gas: a. Proper Type (must match serial plate) b. Proper regulator setting (utilizing a manometer) 2. Orifice: a. Properly in line with the oven burner tube. 3. General: a. Allow oven to be preheated for approximately 10-15 minutes before trying to adjust. b. Inspect oven burner flame with convection oven fan off.
IN-OVEN BROILING To light the broiler burner, turn the oven control infrared burner. The flame should be blue and knob to the "BROIL" position. When the knob is approximately 1/8" thick.
RAISED GRIDDLE/CHARBROILER, GRIDDLE & CHARBROILER Start-Up-Raised Griddle & Griddle The griddle must be “burnt-in” or “seasoned” prior to its initial use. To do so, follow the following instructions: 1) Remove all factory applied protective material by washing with hot mild detergent or soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Do not allow to air dry! Natural moisture in the air will cause rusting! 2) Apply a thin coat of high-grade salt-free peanut oil to the griddle surface, sides, and front.
• Always pre-heat the griddle on low for approximately ten (10), minutes prior to use. NEVER pre-heat on high! TIP: Its much easier to raise settings to desired temperatures than it is to lower. • Always use liquid cooking oil, shortening spray, or butter for eggs, pancakes, french toast, meats and sandwiches to reduce sticking. • Remove food particles from the griddle surface during cooking with a metal spatula to make cleanup easier and to avoid including those particles in other foods being cooked.
• Stubborn dirt may be removed by rubbing the surface with a nylon pad and cooking oil. If necessary, flush the surface of a warm 200° griddle with warm clear water, then dry thoroughly. • Special griddle cleaners are available commercially which may be used to remove heavy build-up. Follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly. Rinse the griddle thoroughly with a vinegar and water solution after using the cleaner, rinse with clear water, dry, and re-season with oil before the next use.
SUGGESTED GRIDDLE SETTINGS Eggs Pancakes Hamburgers or Steaks (rare) Hamburgers or Steaks (medium or well) Grilled Sandwiches Low Medium High High Medium High Medium Clean-Up—Griddle After using your griddle, always remove the drip pan located below it by pulling the pan out toward you slowly. Be careful to avoid burns and grease spillage when handling the pan. Wash the pan in hot soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry. The griddle drain tube should be cleaned using a bottlebrush and hot soapy water.
COOKWARE Each cook has his or her preference for the particular cooking utensils that are most appropriate for their specific food preparation. Most cooking utensils are suitable for use on the unit, and it is not necessary to replace your domestic utensils with commercial cookware. This is simply a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents or buildup on the bottom for maximum performance.
