standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electrical
shock hazard from the range.
•
All cords connected to the appliance shall include instructions related to the location of
the wall receptacle and a warning to the user to disconnect the electrical supply before
serving the appliance.
•
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three- prong wall
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power cord.
Connecting the Gas to the Range
•
This range is designed to be used with natural gas (NG) or liquid propane gas (LP) and
operate at a pressure of 6” of water column on natural gas (NG) or 11” of water column
on propane gas (LP).
•
When converting this range to use with other type of gas, be it from natural gas to liquid
propane gas or wise versa, the conversion modification must be made and tested by a
qualified installer before the next use of the range with that gas. Conversion kits (burner
nozzles / orifices) are included in the user manual bag.
•
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed location
outside the range in the gas piping external to the appliance for the purpose of turning
on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
•
Install a male ½” flare union adapter to ½” NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of
regulator. On models equipped with standard twin burners, install the male pipe thread
end of the ½” flare union adapter to the ½” NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure
regulator. Use a wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
•
Install a male ½” or ¾” flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-
off valve, taking care to secure the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
•
The gas supply pressure for checking the regulator setting is 6 in. (Natural Gas) and
11inch（LP Gas). Connect the flexible gas line connector to the regulator on the range.
Position the range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.
•
When all connections have been made, check that all range controls are in the “off”
position and turn on the main gas supply valve.
•
To check if there’s a leak in all connections, do the following:
o Use some soapy water (50% water and 50% soap) or a leak detector at all joints
and connections.
o DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leak.
•
The appliance must be isolated from the building’s gas supply piping system by closing
its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressure equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5kPa).
15
Hood Installation (Optional)
•
The bottom of the hood should be 30′′ min. to 36′′ max. above the counter top.
•
This would typically result in the bottom of the hood being 66′′ to 72′′ above the floor.
•
These dimensions provide safe and efficient operation of the hood.
After Installation:
•
Check the ignition of all cooktop burners.
•
Check the air shutter adjustment – sharp blue flame, with no yellow tipping or lifting
flames. Check ignition of oven burner.
•
Visually check tubular burner (oven burner) re-ignition to be sure both rows of burner
ports are relighting each time.
•
Check for gas leaks at all gas connections (using a gas detector, never a flame). Check
oven bake and convection bake function.

Cooktop Operation
Simmer and Boil
•
A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise cooking
performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter and for
cookings that require low heat for a long period of time.
•
The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your
range. This setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling and
pasta cooking.
Flame Size
•
When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.
•
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.
•
The flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line may
cause an orange flame during initial operation.
Power Failure
•
If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five
minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the ignition procedure.
•
If the power fails, the surface burners can be ignited manually. Hold a lit match near the
burner and turn knob counterclockwise to “HI”. After the burner is ignited, turn the knob
to your desired setting.
Cooktop
•
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or stained, clean the cooktop after each use,
and wipe away acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cooktop is cooled.
•
The sealed burners of your range are not secured to the cooktop and are designed to
be removed. Boil overs or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners
should be cleaned after each use.
18
FOOD SAFETY
According to the United States Department of Agriculture: DO NOT hold foods at
temperatures between 40
o
F to 140
o
F for more than 2 hours. Cooking raw foods below
275
o
F is not recommended.
Cooktop Operation
Oven Vent
•
Do not block the ducts at the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It is important
that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air into the oven burner never be
interrupted. Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler
operation – they may become hot.
Burner Grates
•
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the
grates may result in scratching of the cooktop and/or poor combustion.
•
Do not operate the burners without a pan or utensil on the grates.
Never step, lean or sit on the opened oven door or drawer of this range.
Otherwise, it may result in personal injury and damage to the range.
Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room, doing
so many result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
Never use this appliance as a storage space and storage cabinet areas
19
Oven Operation
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so will block the air flow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil lining may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard. Do not use Aluminum Foil on any porcelain surface. Doing so will
cause damage the porcelain that affect the life of the porcelain.
Oven Function
Natural Airflow Bake occurs when heat is transferred into the oven from the bake burners in
the bottom of the oven cavity. Heat is then circulated by natural airflow. This is a traditional
bake setting.
Infrared Broil
The broil burner is located at the top of the oven. This burner heats the metal screen until it
glows. The glowing screen produces the infrared heat, searing the outside of the broiled foods
and sealing in juices.
Convection Bake
Heat is transferred from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity to the oven cavity
itself. The convection fan in the rear of the oven then circulates it. This convection process
provides more even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity. Multiple rack use is possible
for the large baking jobs. Convection cooking is faster, can be accomplished at lower
temperatures and provides more even temperatures than the regular cooking.
20
BEFORE BAKING OR BROILING
The oven and broiler should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils. Turn
the oven on to 450˚F (230˚C) for 20 to 30 minutes; then turn the oven knob to
“Broil” for the same length of time. It is recommended to turn on the ventilator
above the range at the same time.
Convection Roast
The convection fan will evenly circulate the heated air over and around the food inside the
broiler pan. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product with a rich
golden-brown exterior. When convection roasting, it is important that you use the broiler pan
for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and has a cover to
prevent grease splatters.
Convection Defrost
With temperature control off, the motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates the air. The
fan accelerates the natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid illness and food waste,
do not allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours without being
cooked.
Convection Dehydrate
With the temperature control on 175
o
F, warm air is radiated from the bake burners in the
bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Over a
period of time, the water is removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits
growth of microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes.
21
Broiler Operation
Note: The oven door must be closed during broiling operation.
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the infrared broiler in the
oven. Broiling in the oven is accomplished with the oven door closed. It is normal and
necessary for some smoke to be present to give the food a broiled flavor.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (Remove the broiler pan before preheating
with the infrared broiler. Foods will stick on hot metal). To preheat, turn the “Oven” selector
knob to the “Broil” position. Wait for the burner to become hot, approximately 2 minutes.
Preheating is not necessary when broiling meat well-done.
To Broil
Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.
Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.
Setting Broil
The “Oven” selector knob controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward
from the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil feature temperature is 500˚F (260˚C).
The broil pan and insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO NOT cover
the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
To set the oven to Broil:
•
Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the broiler pan
insert.
•
Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the
broiler pan and position it directly under the broil burner. If preheating the broil burner first,
position the broiler pan after the broil burner is preheated.
•
Turn selector knob to Broil. The oven indicator light will remain on until the selector knob
is turned to the “OFF” position or the temperature control cycles off.
22
When using the appliance for the first time, the oven and broiler burners
should be turned on the burn off the manufacture oils. Turn the oven on the
450 ℉ (230 ℃) for 20 to 30 minutes, then turn the oven control knob to “Broil”
for the same length of time. It is recommended to turn on the ventilator above
the range at this time
