Cooking Utensils
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular
cooking utensils that are most appropriate for the type cooking being
done. Any and all cooking utensils are suitable for use in the range
and it is not necessary to replace your present domestic utensils with
commercial cookware. This a matter of personal choice. As with any
cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive
dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and
convenience. NOTE: WHEN USING BIG POTS AND/OR HIGH
FLAMES, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE FRONT BURNERS.
THERE IS MORE ROOM IN THE FRONT AND POTENTIAL CLEANUP
OF REAR OR APPLIANCE DUE TO STAINING OR DISCOLORATION
WILL BE MINIMIZED.
Before You Use Your New Range
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 starting to cook, clean the range
thoroughly with hot, soapy water.
Steel Griddle/Simmer Plate (If applicable)
The griddle is a heavy-weight, polished steel griddle that has a
USDA authorized protective coating. Before using, remove protective
coating using a Scotch Brite ® soft scour pad. It is very important to
season the griddle by coating lightly with cooking oil.
Grill (If applicable)
The grates should be removed and washed in hot soapy water,
rinsed and then replaced prior to use. Other grill parts should be
removed, dusted, and replaced making sure that no flammable
materials have been accidentally placed in the grill.
Wok Pan w/Lid (If applicable)
Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from the
wok. Clean thoroughly with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Apply a light coat of vegetable oil (do not use corn oil) to the entire
inside surface with a paper towel. Heat the wok on medium setting
until the cooking surface turns golden brown. Repeat this procedure
several times. This seasoning seals the pores of the metal, keeps food
from sticking, and prevents the wok from rusting. Wipe off excess oil
before using or storing.
Drip Tray/Pan
The drip tray should be pulled out and checked for flammable
materials. Make sure to unwrap the drip pan and replace it in its
proper place under the griddle or grill (if applicable).
Oven
Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and dry
thoroughly.
Basic Functions of Your Oven
NATURAL AIRFLOW BAKE
Heat is radiated from the two bake
burners in the bottom of the oven cavity
and is circulated with natural airflow. This
is your traditional bake setting
INFRARED BROIL
The broil burner at the top of the oven
heats the metal screen until it glows. The
glowing screen produces the infrared
heat, searing the outside of broiled foods
and sealing in juices.
