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.
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
with 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).
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.
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.
