Each time a knob is placed in the
“LITE” position all electrodes will
spark. There are electrodes under the
top for each pair of burners and one
for the griddle. There is one electrode
in each broiling section for the oven
burner. In the event of a power failure
you may light the top burners with a
match. Hold lighted match near the
surface burner and turn knob counter-
clockwise to the “LITE” position. See

Final Preparation
Stainless Steel
New units are wiped clean with
solvents at the factory to remove any
visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc.
remaining from the manufacturing
process, then coated with a thin film of
mineral oil. Some stainless steel parts
may have a plastic protective wrapper
which must be peeled off. The range
should be washed thoroughly with hot,
soapy water to remove these film
residues and any installation dust or
debris before being used for food
preparation, then rinsed and wiped dry.
Solutions stronger than soap and water
are rarely required. All stainless steel
body parts should be wiped regularly
with hot, soapy water and with a liquid
cleaner designed for this material. If
buildup occurs, do not use steel wool,
abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders!
If it is necessary to scrape stainless
steel to remove encrusted materials,
soak with hot, wet cloths to loosen the
material, then use a wood or nylon
scraper.
Do not use a metal knife,
spatula, or any other metal tool to
scrape stainless steel! Scratches are
almost impossible to remove.
A light coat of oil such as Johnson’s
Baby Oil may be applied periodically
to the stainless steel surfaces. This
will help prevent moisture from
penetrating the stainless surfaces.
Once the unit is installed as outlined in
the Installation Instructions (pages 3-6)
i
t is important that the air supply to the
u
nit remains open. The oven air supply
comes through the front floor area
u
nder the range. The surface burners
get air from the area below the control
panel. THESE AREAS MUST
REMAIN OPEN. See Figure 2.
Operation of Ranges
Cooking Utensils
Most cooking utensils are suitable for
use on the FiveStar and it is not
necessary to replace your present
domestic utensils with commercial
cookware. This is a matter of personal
choice. Cookware should be in good
condition and free from excessive
dents or bulging on the bottom to
provide maximum performance and
convenience.
Before You Cook
Before staring to cook, clean the
range thoroughly with hot, soapy
water. Turn the oven to 400 degrees
for approximately one hour to burn
off the “binder” from the insulation.
There will be a slight odor.
Reversible Griddle/Grill
The griddle is equipped with a cast
iron plate that is reversible for use as
a grill. Simply life the griddle by the
front edge, flip over the plate, and
replace it back into the housing.
The griddle plate is pre-seasoned cast
iron and is ready for use.
Griddle Cooking
• Preheat griddle at 450˚ for 12
minutes, then turn to selected
temperature.
• 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
clean up easier and to avoid
including those particles in the
cooked food. Be sure to keep the
spatula flat. The corners can scratch.
• Direct the flow of grease to the
c
enter of the grease well.
• Do not over-heat the griddle. Turn it
off when not in use, or lower heat
b
etween cooking loads.

Griddle Clean Up
For the Portable FiveStar Griddle
accessory, refer to page 29 for care
and cleaning instructions.
The reversible, cast iron griddle/grill
should be cared for and maintained as
follows:
1. Rinse with hot water (do not use
soap), and dry thoroughly.
2. Before cooking, prepare the surface
with cooking spray or vegetable
oil.
3. After cooking, clean griddle with a
stiff brush and hot water. Using
soap is not recommended, and
harsh detergents should never be
used.
4. Towel dry immediately and apply a
light coat of cooking spray or
vegetable oil while griddle is still
warm.
5. Store in a cool dry place. If you
keep the cover over your griddle,
placed a folded paper towel
between the cover and the griddle
to allow air to circulate.
6. Do not wash in dishwasher.
