Your complete satisfaction is our ultimate goal.
Warnings Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the appliance. ALWAYS contact the manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.
Warnings To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage •Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it. •Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials. •If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners. •NEVER leave any items on the rangetop.
Warnings Cooking Safety (cont.) •If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control. •Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated.
Before Using the Rangetop All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. Before cooking, clean the rangetop thoroughly with a hot, soapy damp cloth. There may be some burn off and odors on first use of the appliance—this is normal.
Operation Lighting Burners All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-flame, “standing” pilots. Surface Burners/Automatic Re-Ignition To light the surface burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any position. This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Each burner will ignite at any “ON” position with the automatic re-ignition system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the burner will automatically re-ignite if the gas is still flowing.
Operation Griddle/Simmer Plate (on applicable models) The optional 15,000 BTU griddle is constructed of machined steel with a blanchard finisih and is uniquely designed to offer excellent cooking performance as well as easy cleanup. 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.
Cleaning and Maintenance Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your rangetop 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. WARNING BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Make sure all controls are OFF and unit is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.
Troubleshooting Power Failure If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt should be made to operate appliance during a power failure. Make sure surface controls are in “OFF” position.
