Surface Operation All ranges are equipped with an exclusive restaurant style sealed burner system. This unique burner system is equipped with three different size burners ranging from 8,500 to 20,500 BTUs. The 20,500 BTU burners are designed to provide extra high heat output, especially when using large pans, and should be used for boiling large quantities or if you need to bring something to a boil quickly.
Surface Operation INDUCTION (select models) Turning on the Induction Burners To turn on the induction burners, choose the appropriate control knob. Push and turn the control knob clockwise to any position between high and simmer. Induction Cookware Induction cooking utilizes magnetic power which reacts with iron in the base of cookware, instantly transforming the pot or pan into the heat source. The heat stops when the cookware is removed.
Surface Operation GRIDDLE/SIMMER PLATE (select models) The optional griddle is constructed of machined steel with a chrome finish and is uniquely designed to offer excellent cooking performance as well as easy clean up. The griddle is equipped with an electronic thermostat to maintain an even temperature across the griddle once the desired temperature has been set. The griddle has a power “ON” indicator light which glows when the griddle thermostat has been turned on.
Using the Oven WA RNING 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 linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Rack Positions Each large oven is equipped with two racks and has six rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom.

Using the Oven Solving Baking Problems Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart below for the causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is important to remember that the temperature setting and cooking times you are accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary slightly from those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it is necessary for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.
Using the Oven TruConvection The rear element only operates at full power. There is no direct heat from the bottom or top elements. The motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates air in the oven cavity for even heating. Use this setting for foods that require gentle cooking such as pastries, souffles, yeast breads, quick breads and cakes. Breads, cookies, and other baked goods come out evenly textured with golden crusts. No special bakeware is required.
Using the Oven Broil / Convection Broil Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat. It is used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and patties. Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the food and the broil element. Choose the rack position based on desired results. Conventional broiling is most successful for cuts of meat 1-2 inches thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of meat.
Cleaning and Maintenance Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your range must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position. Disconnect power if you are going to clean thoroughly with water. WA R NI NG BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning.
Cleaning and Maintenance Control Panel DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft clean cloth. Control Knobs MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem. DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives.
Cleaning and Maintenance Induction Glass Top Cleaning of glass tops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass top, follow these basic steps: For normal, light soil: 1. Rub a few drops of a non-abrasive glass cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel. 2. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
Replacing Oven Lights WA R NING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD DO NOT touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect electric power to the appliance at the main fuse or circuit breaker before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock. The lights inside the oven are located in the top near the door opening. To replace the light bulb: 1. Locate light bulb cover in top of oven cavity. 2. Unscrew glass light cover. 3.
