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 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 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
w
®
ith room temperature
club soda 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
ben accidentally placed in the grill.
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).
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.
Applya
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.
Using Your Rangetop
Lighting the Burners
Surface Burners-Automatic
Re-ignition
To light the surface burners, turn the appropriate
control knob counter
clockwise to any position. This control is both a gas valve and an
electric switch. Burners will ignite at any "on" position with the
automatic re-ignition
system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the
burners will automatically
re-ignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is
permitted
to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On
all surface igniters you should hear a "clicking"
sound. If you do not,
turn off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that the
fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.
Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to
be able to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any
position to adjust the flame size. Setting the proper height for the
desired cooking process and selected utensil will result in superior
cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.
In the event there is no electricity available, you can still use the surface
burners by igniting them with a match.
