OPERATION OF THE BURNERS
1. Press in on the knob that corresponds to the burner that you
would like to light. Use the front panel graphic to conrm your
selection until you become familiar with the range. Turn the
knob counter-clockwise to the “American Flame” icon located
on the knob – this is the light position of the burner valve.
2. The igniter for all the surface burners will begin sparking –
however, gas will ow to only the selected burner.
3. After the burner lights, the igniter clicking will stop – indicating
that the ame sensing and re-ignition system is active on the
selected burner.
4. Rotate the knob to any ame setting that you desire between
MAX and SIMMER.
The surface burners are rated at dierent power levels:

BEFORE USING THE NEW COOKTOP
» Before using the cooktop for the rst time, wash the outside
area with soap and water to remove any shipping and factory
residue.
» The burner grates are designed in sections and are easy to
remove and clean. They are made of cast iron with a porcelain
coating and will remain hot after the burner is turned o
creating a residual heat for continued cooking. Use caution when
handling.
» Your new professional Range is equipped with burners that are
similar to those used in restaurants. The burner heads are large
and designed to ensure even heat distribution for better cooking.
They must be in place and properly seated before lighting.
» The Range must not be operated without the burner heads.
» There are no continuously burning pilot lights. An electronic
spark ignition system is used to light the burner. If the ame
should go out from a boil-over or a strong draft, the burner will
automatically reignite.
If the ames look odd, (too small, too large, lazy or drifting, uneven
around the burner circle, etc.), check to see that the burner head
is seated correctly on the burner base. Do this when the burner is
cold by gently rocking the burner head or rotating the head from
side to side. If it is correctly seated, it will nest in detents, in the
case of the sealed burners, or on the corresponding pin/hole for
open burners. If this does not correct the problem, turn to the
Troubleshooting section of this manual.
AUTO RE-IGNITION
The surface burners are equipped with a special ignition and
re-ignition system that senses the presence of ame and re-ignites
the burner should the ame disappear while gas is still owing to
the burner.
Strong drafts, spills and general grime inuence the operation of
the automatic re-ignition system – a clean system will generally
function better than a dirty system. Periodically, remove any
materials or grime that might build up on the high voltage spark
electrode – using a toothbrush or other non-metallic cleaning
utensil.
When you are using the surface burners, select the burner power
and location depending on the heating or cooking function you
would like to perform.
A normal ame is blue in color and steady. Foreign materials in
the kitchen air or the gas line, especially in new construction
installations, may cause some orange color bursts during initial
operation. This will disappear with continued use. Small yellow tips
on the ends of ames are normal when using LP gas.
OVEN OPERATION
To light the oven, push in and turn the thermostat to the desired
operating temperature from 150ºF to 500ºF (66ºC to 260ºC).
You may be able to see a bright glow from the sides of the oven
bottom – this is normal and indicates the hot surface igniter is
activated. Once the igniter is hot enough for ignition, the gas valve
will open, allowing the ow of gas into the bake burner. This may
take up to one minute.
During the rst few minutes of operation, a mild condensation
may appear on the interior glass pane of the door window. Water
vapor is a normal by-product of combustion, and the condensation
will disappear as the oven warms.
If you would like to bake using the Convection feature, you may
turn on the fan at any time – allowing the oven about twenty or
thirty minutes to preheat before use.
Never place any pan or food item on the bottom of the oven,
always use an oven rack placed in at least the lowest position.
To use the Broil feature of the range, rst consider what type of
broiling you would like to perform. The closer you are to the broil
burner, the faster you will evaporate moisture from the surface of
food and the quicker the surface will brown. In a similar fashion,
the further away you place the food (on the lowest rack, for
example) the slower you will evaporate surface moisture and the
longer it will take for the surface to brown. A good rule of thumb
is to start about 6" away from the broiler and watch for how
quickly the food is browning.

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 cooktop.
Placement of large stock pots should be staggered when used
on the cooktop.
Select the base diameter of the pot to match the diameter
of the ame. The diameter of the ame and the diameter
of the pan 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.
Be careful to not let plastic, paper or cloth come in contact
with a hot burner grate. These materials can catch re or melt.
Never let a pan boil dry – and if it occurs remember it can be
extremely hot – and very dangerous. If this should occur, turn
o 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.
The pan bottom should be at, the heavier the better – and
well balanced on the cooktop grate – sitting at without
rocking – preferably with tight tting lids. Try not to slide the
pot across the grates – while it is very handy to do so – you
may end up scratching the pot or the grate.
Always be careful when using high ames, as in wok cooking,
as they may contact ammable materials or make the handles
of the wok very hot. Use the wok ring (optional) to stabilize
the wok.

OVENS 101
The oven is a gas red, temperature controlled cooking cavity which
is highly insulated to keep the kitchen cool and the food hot. The
oven contains two burners – the Bake burner positioned below the
oven oor and the Broil burner located in the ceiling of the oven.
Bake and Broil are very dierent cooking operations and the burners
are designed to deliver energy in a way appropriate to the task.
There are two types of baking – called Standard Bake (or
conventional) and Convection Bake. Standard or conventional baking
make best use of Grandma’s cookie, cake or pie recipes – like bake
at 350ºF (177ºC) for forty-ve minutes – to get the job done. These
recipes are tried and true – conventional or standard bake will
deliver wonderful performance every time you cook.
When you Convection Bake (using a fan to circulate the high
temperature air inside the oven) you can lower the thermostat
about 25º and reduce the cook time by about 25% – and achieve
ne cooking results just like Grandma’s – taking less time and using
less energy. Use the same recommended temperatures for meats
and poultry dishes – but keep watch of the time. Convection
cooking technology was rst developed in Europe and has been
used for many years – recently taking hold in U.S. residential kitchens
and cookbooks.
In convection cooking, not only is the cook time faster, but also, the
oven temperature is more even, top to bottom and side to side
– so cookies on several racks will have the same brown color and
texture. However, to best take advantage of convection, use low,
shallow bakeware so that moving air can get over the sides and up
to the food surface. Foods in covered dishes (like casseroles or pot
roasts) do not benet from convection cooking.
BROILER OPERATION
To light the broiler, push in and turn the thermostat to the position
labeled BROIL on the control knob. In about twenty seconds, you
will see a bright glow in the oven – this is the hot surface igniter.
Once the igniter is hot enough for ignition, the gas valve will open,
allowing the ow of gas into the broil burner. This may take up to
one minute.
The broiler will have a blue ame that covers the ceramic tiles –
after a few minutes, the tiles will glow bright red/orange and radiate
infrared energy. Remember the red surface is over 1800ºF (983ºC)
in temperature and can be a source of serious burns or injury.
The Bake burner and Broil burner will not operate at
the same time; the convection fan will not operate
during broiling.
OPERATING YOUR RANGE
RANGETOP-BURNER OPERATION (Sealed and Open Burners)
Make sure there is nothing on the burners and/or grates prior to
igniting the burners. Push the knob in, and turn it counter-clockwise
to the HIGH position. Adjust the ame to the desired height. The
burners are equipped with a ame-sensing ignition system that
automatically detects the presence of ame on the burners, and
relights in the event the ame goes out.

GRILL OPERATION (GR Models Only)
Make sure there is nothing on the grilling rack prior to igniting the
grill. Push the knob in and turn it counter-clockwise to the HIGH
position. The power ON indicator light will glow indicating the
grill valve is on. The grill is equipped with a ame-sensing ignition
system – that automatically detects the presence of ame on the
grill burner – and relights it in the event it goes out. Adjust the
ame to the desired height.
After cooking, allow the module to cool completely and remove
the drip tray slowly, discarding grease and other food particles.
The grill grate may be removed – exposing the radiants – which
may be lifted out and placed in the dishwasher along with the drip
tray for cleaning. The grate is porcelain coated and may be washed
with hot soapy water and a soft brush.
BEST COOKING RESULTS WHEN USING YOUR GRILL
The intense radiant heat from the grill vaporizes the surface of
your food, locking in avor.
» Add any barbecue sauces during the last few minutes of
cooking, long enough to caramelize the sauce.
» For best results, turn food with tongs or a at spatula to
avoid piercing meat or poultry.
» Turn meat once when juices rise to the surface. Turning
meat more than once results in the loss of meat juices.
» Never squeeze juices out of meat.
» Before cooking steaks or chops, trim most of the outside
fat to prevent excessive are-ups. Slash into the edges of
steaks or chops to keep meat at on the grill.
» Fish should be cooked at the lowest setting eight to ten
minutes for every inch of thickness, measured at the
thickest part of the sh.

GRIDDLE OPERATION (GD Models Only)
The built-in griddle is made of polished steel to provide a smooth
cooking surface. A griddle drip pan is included.
Always preheat 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 o 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.
The temperature settings
are meant as a guide.
You may need to adjust
the settings according
to your peronal cooking
preferences.

SEASON THE GRIDDLE:
1. The griddle has a factory applied coating that must be washed
o prior to use. (See Cleaning the Griddle)
2. Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (not corn or olive oil) and
rub on the entire surface of the griddle using a rough towel.
3. Push the griddle control knob in and turn to a medium setting
(350°F or 177°C).
4. Heat until griddle begins to smoke. Turn o 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
and scrape o any excess grease from the surface with a exible
nylon spatula. Pull the spatula forward toward the front and push
any 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 bot-
tom, 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.
» Using a at plastic spatula gently remove burned on food.
» Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot soapy water and a rough
towel.
» The griddle drip pan and grease collector 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, similar
to commercial cooking equipment.
DRYING AND DEHYDRATING
While the United States Department of Agriculture advises: DO
NOT hold foods at temperature between 40ºF to 140ºF (5ºC to
60ºC) more than 2 hours – and cooking raw foods below 275ºF
(60ºC) is not recommended, the low setting of the oven ranging
from 150ºF to 225ºF (66ºC to 108ºC) may be used to keep food
hot and in special recipes, used to dehydrate fruits and vegetables.
During dehydration, the convection fans circulates hot air over
the food, causes moisture to escape from the food surface –
generally drying it out. This removal of water inhibits growth of
microorganisms and slows down the activity of enzymes. Starting
with only the freshest, best quality food items, prepare as directed
and:
» Place the food on drying racks spaced evenly in the oven cavity.
» Set the temperature control to 200ºF (94ºC) and switch on the
convection fan.
» Remember to periodically check the food items for dryness
state.
CARE AND CLEANING
It is always easier to clean as you go – and while some evenings
you’d rather sit down with a good book instead of a Scrubby,
keeping your range cooktop and oven in a ready to go state for
the next meal makes everything a little more tolerable.
When cleaning the range:
» Use the mildest procedure that will do the job eciently and
eectively – and since some cleaners are harsher than others, it
is best to try them on a small, inconspicuous area rst.
» Use only clean, soft cloths, sponges, paper towels, plastic
brushes, non-metal soap pads for cleaning and scouring.
» When cleaning the oven door, control panel, top curved
section (called the bull nose) or the at top area – always
pretend it is made of wood – and rub the nish in the direction
of the grain. This is the most eective cleaning direction, to
prevent marring the surface.
» Any part of this appliance can be cleaned with hot, sudsy water.
When rinsing is required, rinse thoroughly.
» Always wipe dry immediately to reduce the appearance of
water marks.
To Clean the Cooktop
The cooktop is brushed stainless steel with polished aluminum
burner heads. The burner caps are steel coated porcelain.
» Do not use abrasives on stainless steel. Use towels, sponges or
soft plastic scrubbers. RUB ONLY WITH THE “GRAIN.”
» Do not use steel wool pads or green rough Scrubby’s.
» Wash all cooking surfaces with hot water and dish detergent
such as Simple Green, Ivory Liquid, or Joy.
» Rub stubborn spots with baking soda or liquid cleaner such as
Windex All Surface Cleaner or 409.
» Grates and burner caps can be soaked in hot soapy water. Mild
scouring cleaners can be used, such as Bon Ami or Cameo on
grates and burner caps.
TO CLEAN THE OVEN
The oven cavity is porcelainized with steel rack guides and racks.
The infrared broiler does not need to be cleaned. Any soil is
burned o by the intense heat.
» Place a medium glass baking dish lled with two cups of
ammonia. Close the door and allow the dish to sit overnight.
This process softens the soil for easier removal.
» Wash the interior of the oven with soap and water. Make a
paste with baking soda and water and using a sponge or nylon
pad rub away stubborn stains.
» Use mild scrubbing compounds such as Bon Ami or Cameo if
necessary.
» Do not use steel wool pads or abrasive sponges or scrubbers.
» If necessary, spray oven cleaner can be used. DO NOT SPRAY
OVEN CLEANER INTO THE CONVECTION FANS OR UP
ONTO THE INFRARED BROILER.
» When spray oven cleaners are used, follow using a 1/4 cup
vinegar mixed with one quart of water to rinse the oven.
» Do not use scouring powders on the glass window; oven spray
may be used on the window. Rinse with vinegar and water
solution.

CARE AND CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
PART / MATERIAL CLEANING SUGGESTIONS BEING CAREFUL
Main Top/
Porcelain Enamel
Soft Scrub may be used here. With a cool or slightly warm
surface, use a damp sponge or cloth as recommended by the
manufacturer.
Since the surface is glass (it can be scratched by certain
materials) try to rub gently in small circles to allow time and
chemical reactions to take place.
Sealed Burners
(Cuisine)
Caps and burner heads can be removed for cleaning using
hot sudsy water. A sti nylon bristle tooth brush can be used
to clean burner port openings.
Remember to dry out the ports (try to blow air through them
if you like). Water clogged ports burn with erratic ames and
could be dangerous.
Open Burners
(Performer)
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 (try to
blow air through them if you like). Water clogged ports burn
with erratic ames and could be dangerous.
Control Knobs/
Powder Paint
Use dry hands to pull o the knobs; hot sudsy water works
best here…
…with a sponge to avoid scratching
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 stainless 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 stainless steel.
Salt (sodium chloride), chlorine or chlorine compounds in
some cleaners are corrosive to stainless steel.
Grates/Porcelain
Enamel on Cast Iron
Hot water and detergent with scrubby, or soap lled 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 above.

AMERICANA MODEL AND PARTS IDENTIFICATION
CUISINE SEALED AND PERFORMER OPEN BURNERS
Oven Racks: Each oven is supplied with two heavy chrome-plated
adjustable oven racks.
Rack Supports: On each side of the oven, heavy chrome-plated rack
supports allow ve positions, numbered from the bottom up.
Oven Control Knob: The oven control knob is used to set the
Baking temperature or to select the Broil function. During baking, the
convection fan may be activated.
Bake Burner: The Bake Burner is located in the center of the oven,
below the oor and is activated by the Oven Control Knob.
Ceramic Tile Infrared Broil Burner: Positioned in the oven ceiling,
burning gas heats the ceramic tile to a temperature of 1,850ºF
(1,010ºC) – creating searing heat similar to the glowing coals of a
wood re.
Broil Burner Igniter: The igniter glows a very hot, bright red-orange
color, reaching proper ignition temperature to light the Ceramic Tile
Infrared Broil Burner.
Burner On Indicator Light: Whenever an oven burner is activated
(either Bake or Broil), the burner on indicator will glow. It is normal
for the indicator light to cycle o 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.
