Screen to 1,850ºF, perfect for browning and crisping.
Broil Burner Igniter: The igniter glows a very hot, bright red-
orange color, reaching proper ignition temperature to light the
Inconel Screen Infrared Broil Burner.
Burner On Indicator Light: Whenever an oven burner is
activated(eitherBakeorBroil),theburneronindicatorwillglow.
It is normal for the indicator light to cycle off and on during
baking or broiling – showing that the requested temperature has
been achieved – or that more heat is required.
Door Gasket: The door gasket is made from high temperature
materials and creates a seal between the hot oven and the cool
kitchen.
Convection Fan and Switch: Operated by the front panel
switch, the convection fan circulates oven air, removing the
“thermal boundary layer” on items being baked – and in doing
so – speeding up heat transfer and cook time by as much as 25%.
Convection is active only during baking.
Oven Light and Switch: A single lamp is provided in the oven
to illuminate baked and broiled food items, as well as shed some
light on the wall to help during clean-up – activated by the front
panel switch.

COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS
To avoid the risk of serious injury, damage to the range or cookware, please observe the following guidelines.
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc., should never be used on the cook top.
Placement of large stock pots should be staggered when used on the cook top.
Selectthebasediameterofthepottomatchthediameteroftheame.Thediameteroftheameandthediameterofthepan
bottom should match or be slightly smaller. Too large or too small pots on a burner will compromise cooking performance.
Do not place food packaged or wrapped in aluminum foil directly on the burner grate above the burner. Aluminum foil can melt
during cooking.
Becarefultonotletplastic,paperorclothcomeincontactwithahotburnergrate.Thesematerialscancatchreormelt.
Never let a pan boil dry – and if it occurs remember it can be extremely hot – and very dangerous. If this should occur, turn off the
burner immediately. Wait a while, until the pot cools down enough to handle – this could be several minutes, but could save you
from burns or other serious injury.

GRIDDLE OPERATION
The built-in griddle is made of polished steel to provide a smooth cooking surface. A griddle drip pan is included.
Always pre-heat the griddle on the low setting, at least ten minutes before cooking. The griddle burner is equipped with a hot surface
igniter and gas safety valve system.
TO START COOKING:
Push knob in and turn the knob clockwise to the MAX position. Preheat griddle for two to three minutes and turn knob to a
medium or low cook setting.
The blue indicator light comes on and stays on until the desired setting is reached and then turns off and on with the heating
cycle.
For best results, add a small amount of butter, oil, or a cooking spray to the griddle surface. Fatty meats like bacon and sausage
do not need extra fat.
SEASON THE GRIDDLE:
1. Thegriddlehasafactoryappliedcoatingthatmustbewashedoffpriortouse.(SeeCleaningtheGriddle)

4. Heat until griddle begins to smoke. Turn off griddle and allow it to cool.
5. Returning to step 2, repeat the process.
When you are done "griddling" and while the griddle surface is still warm, remove any left-on food particles. Allow the griddle to cool
andscrapeoffanyexcessgreasefromthesurfacewithaexiblenylonspatula.Pullthespatulaforwardtowardthefrontandpushany
material into the front grease receiver.
To clean the griddle, moisten a soft scrub cloth, adding a drop of mild degreaser dish soap to create a soapy lather - and wipe the
griddle from left to right. Clean in rows from the top to the bottom, taking time to wash the entire griddle surface, including the
sides. When you are done, rinse away all the soap from the cloth and wipe any suds from the griddle surface. Remove all remaining
moisture from the griddle with the second, clean soft cloth. Wipe the area in rows again as well as the sides and front. You may have
to repeat action to ensure the griddle plate is dry and sparkling.
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE:
The griddle is not to be removed for cleaning.

Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot soapy water and a rough towel.
The griddle drip pan and trough should be cleaned after each use with hot soapy water and a sponge.
It is normal for the griddle to darken with age and use, similiar to commercial cooking equipment.

Open Burners
The cast iron burner heads are heavy and porcelain
coated. If they are dirty, remove any large debris
and gently scrub under hot, soapy water.
Like the sealed burners, remember to dry out the
ports(trytoblowairthroughthemifyoulike).

Control Knobs/
Power Paint
Use dry hands to pull off the knobs; hot sudsy
water works best here…

Chrome Knob
Bezels
Hot soapy water works well here, with a sponge or
soft cloth.
As with any round feature that meets the stainless
steel grain, be careful to clean the bezels in a circular
motion – and not contact the S/Steel control panel.
Exterior Finish
Island Trim
Use hot soapy water, Fantastic, Formula 409, rinse
and dry immediately. For hard water spots, try
household vinegar or CLR. If there is any heat
discoloration, consider using Zud, Wright’s All
Purpose Polish or Blue Away.
Rub lightly in the direction of the grain of the
StainlessSteel.Salt(sodiumchloride),chlorineor
chlorine compounds in some cleaners are corrosive
to Stainless Steel.
Grates/Porcelain
Enamel on
Cast Iron
Hotwater&detergentwithscrubbie,orsoaplled
steel wool pad for really tough stains will work.
Remove sugar or acid based spills, they tend to attack
the enamel. Remember the grates are heavy, use care
when lifting and replacing.
Griddle
Moisten a soft scrub cloth, adding a drop of mild
dish soap to create a soapy lather - and wipe the
griddle from left to right.
Use plastic spatulas and spoons when working the
griddle. See more tips in the discussion on griddle
operation on page 21.
