FIVESTAR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Please read these instructions before attempting to install this range. Unpacking Check the range carton for visible damage. If there is damage or even creases in the carton contact the carrier, request and inspection, and file the appropriate freight claim. Do not refuse shipment. Responsibility for shipping damage is with the carrier and the dealer or end user. Cut the shipping straps then carefully lift the carton up from the range.
WALL CLEARANCES GAS AND ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS Wall Clearances All units must be installed in accordance with minimum side wall clearances and clearances extended vertically above the cooking top. See FIG. 1 and FIG. 6 for illustrations. This unit may not be installed directly adjacent to sidewalls, tall cabinets, tall appliances, or other side vertical surfaces above the 36” cooking surface height.
Connecting the Range to Gas Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until new hookup has been completed. Do not forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on. Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of an AGAcertified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.
Backguard Assembly The backguard, located in the top pack with the range, must be installed prior to placing the range in position for gas hookup. See FIG. 7. NOTE: COOKTOPS DO NOT HAVE LEVELING LEGS. CABINET SUPPORT MUST BE LEVEL. NEVER BLOCK THE FLOW OF AIR FOR COMBUSTION OR VENTILTION. SEE FIG. 2. Positioning/Leveling To position the range use a lift jack or enough manpower to lift the range completely.
Pressure Regulator Conversion Vari-Flame™ Open Burners All ranges are equipped with a gas pressure regulator for controlling gas pressure in the range. The pressure regulator must not be removed. To convert from one gas to another, perform the following: (1) Remove the convertor cap on top of the regulator. (2) Invert the convertor cap, or invert the selector pin on the cap. (3) Re-install the cap. See FIG. 8. FIG.
GLOW BAR AND OVEN AND GRIDDLE IGNITION • To close the valve, use a flat screwdriver to twist the valve stems fully clockwise so the slot aligns side to side as shown in the underside view below. System Operation The glow bar ignition system consists of four main components. 1. The thermostat control 2. The glow bar ignitor 3. The automatic valve (also called the safety valve) 4. The manual valve • To open the valve, turn the stem fully counter-clockwise so the slot aligns front to back.
Electronic Ignition Ranges and cooktops have top ignitor electrodes. When a top burner knob is turned to the LITE position, electrodes will spark at a rate of approximately 1½ pulses (sparks) per second. On sealed burner models, the sparking will stop once the burner has ignited. On open burner models, rotate the knob slightly clockwise to stop sparking once lit. In the event of a power failure you may need to light the top burners with a match.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read all instructions before using this appliance. Many accidents occur in the home. Most of these could be prevented with care and judgment. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. When using appliances, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following: Never allow children to play with the range controls. The range and pans on it can be hot.
DO NOT TOUCH BURNERS, BURNER GRATES, OR INTERIOR SURFACE OF OVEN. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they appear to be cool. During and immediately after use do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any hot surfaces or any interior area of the oven. Allow sufficient time for cooling. Potentially hot surfaces include the cooking surface and areas facing the cooking surface, oven vent opening, and crevices around the oven door.
GENERAL INFORMATION Final adjustments and/or conversions from one gas to another are not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. Contact your dealer for the name of a local authorized service agency. If none is available, contact FiveStar’s factory Parts & Service Department by calling 1-800-2517224. Telephone hours are from 8:00am to 5:00pm, Eastern Time, Monday through Thursday, and from 8:00am to 4:00pm on Fridays. You may also send an email to customerservice@fivestarrange.
Oven and Griddle Burners These concealed burners use automatic ignitors. The griddle and oven control dials do not need to be set to a LITE position to light the burners. Simply turn the control dial to the desired setting. IF THE OVEN OR GRIDDLE BURNER DOES NOT IGNITE WITHIN 90 SECONDS OF TURNING ON THE OVEN CONTROL DIAL, TURN THE OVEN OR GRIDDLE BACK OFF. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE OVEN OR GRIDDLE. CONTACT A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.
Gas Broiler Assembly Baking Each gas oven has a gas broiler below the oven. A broil pan and grill are held in place by a uniquely fashioned broiler rack (See FIG. 16). To open the broiler, gently lift up on the broiler door handle and pull forward. Use an oven mitt to grasp the broiler pan and gently pull forward. It will reach a temporary stop. Continue to pull forward and the broiler rack will pull out exposing the broiler pan surface. When baking, follow the recipe instructions.
Convection Cooking on Multiple Racks For best results, bake foods on one rack at a time as described in this manual. However, very good results can be obtained when baking on multiple racks using the TurboFlow convection feature. The convection oven is suggested for multiple rack cooking, especially three rack cooking. For best results, stagger baking utensils as shown in FIG.
Broiling Broiling times vary depending on a meat’s thickness, fat content, and personal taste. Always be careful when handling hot broiler pans. Use both hands and oven mitts when handling. Serious injury can result due to spillage of hot grease. Gas Broiling Never leave a dirty broiler pan in place. Always clean it and return it to the broiler assembly. Unauthorized broiler pan substitutes should never be used. Excess fat should be trimmed from meats to eliminate the possibility of flame ups.
CLEANING THE RANGE OR COOKTOP Make certain all parts of the range are cool before cleaning. Be sure to replace all parts correctly. Knobs Pull forward to remove the control knobs. Wash with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleansers or scrub with abrasive materials. Abrasive action will scratch away the knob markings. If the knobs become loose on the valve stem, spread the valve stem slightly with a small screwdriver.
Cleaning Cast Iron Grates Lift-Off Doors The cast iron burner grates may be removed and cleaned with soap and hot water. Do not put grates in a dishwasher. All models are equipped with lift-off oven doors to aid in cleaning (See FIG. 19 on page 19). Griddle/Grill Before cooking on the reversible cast iron griddle/grill, rinse with hot water. DO NOT USE SOAP. Dry thoroughly with a clean rag. Prepare the surface with cooking spray or oil before preheating.
LIFT-OFF OVEN DOOR To remove oven door(s) Open door fully. Rotate the Hinge Retainers into the locked position, as shown, over the hook located on the bottom side of each hinge quadrant. Lift the door slightly to clear the hinge slots, and pull straight out to clear hinge mechanism from main front opening. To replace oven door Insert hinges into front frame opening, locating the hinge slots on the front frame as shown. Rotate the Hinge Retainers back into the “open” position.
CLEANING THE ELECTRIC OVEN Each FiveStar electric oven contains a self-clean cycle. These self-cleaning electric ovens clean with very high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which reduce soils to a fine powdered ash for easy clean up with a damp cloth. WARNING – During the selfcleaning cycle, the exterior of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance while in self-clean. heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.
To Unlock the Door After Self-Clean Keep the oven dial in CLEAN position. Push and hold the momentary door lock switch on the control panel while moving the door lock handle to the right until it stops. Turn the oven control knob to OFF position. NOTE: The oven door cannot be locked or unlocked unless the knob is in the CLEAN position. When the oven is COMPLETELY cool, wipe up the fine powdered ash with a clean damp cloth.
