Do not submerge the burner grates in water for extended periods of time. Prolonged exposure to moisture
may cause rusting.
For heavy soiling, use a commercially available oven cleaner. Follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions.
Make sure the cleaning chemicals do not contact any stainless steel or painted surface on your
appliance.
Reinstall grates in cooktop and make sure they are seated properly, and do not move unsteadily from side to side.
Burner Heads
Burner head locations are specific to the valves on the front of the unit. If burner heads are removed for
cleaning or other purposes, they must be re-installed in the same location they were removed from.
Failure to do so may result in a burner that will not light or possibly have a high flame.
TIP: Clean spills as soon as possible to prevent sticking and build-up, and to keep the burner ports clear.
For fresh spills, make sure burner is cool and clean with a cloth and hot water.
If needed, the burner head can be removed for cleaning:
When cool, remove the ring grate and top grate.
Lift the burner head up and slide the burner head unit including the venturi tube up and slightly toward the back of
the range so it clears the metal bar.
Disconnect the orange igniter wire from its connector.
Gently clean the exterior of the burner head with warm, soapy water. DO NOT submerge the burner head in water.
Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
If the burner ports are clogged, use a push pin, safety pin or other metallic device to carefully clear the hole. Do NOT
use a toothpick or any object that could become stuck in the hole.
Replace the burner head by sliding the burner head unit underneath the metal bar; be sure the air shutter of the
venturi tube slides over and is centered on the gas valve jet.
Reconnect the orange igniter wire to the connector.
Set the burner head in place.
Replace the top grate and ring grate.
If the igniter wire is wet, you will hear clicking and the burner will not ignite. Wait and try again. It will
light after drying.
Burner might ignite but clicking may continue until igniter dries.
WOK COOKING
Every burner is wok fitted and can be used for wok cooking without a separate wok ring.
TIP: For best results, use your range’s highest BTU rated burner for stir-frying, which are located in the front of the range.
When burner is cool, remove the ring grate from your selected burner.
Position your curved-bottom wok on the open burner cradle of the top grate.

MAINTENANCE
Oven Doors
Periodically oven door hinges may require added lubrication to work smoothly. Whether this is necessary or how
frequently will depend on how and how often you use your oven. Open the door fully and apply a small amount of
lubricant to the ball visible in the hinge slot on your door. We recommend a food grade light oil or grease. Cooking oil or
mineral oil may be used, but should be avoided if possible. Do not use sprays like WD-40 or CRC that may get onto the
oven door surface.
Air Shutters
Air shutter adjustments are pre-set at the factory. However depending on a variety of factors including the type of gas
supply, these adjustments may need to be fine-tuned after installation. A qualified installer should make these
adjustments at the time of installation.
Any air shutter adjustments that are needed after installation are not covered by your warranty.
Air Shutter Checklist
Before making any adjustments to the air shutters, verify the following:
1. Range is completely cool.
2. Gas source type (natural gas or liquid propane) matches the serial plate and is set properly. This setting is typically
checked and adjusted by a service technician using a manometer.
3. Gas pressure regulator is set properly to natural gas or liquid propane.
4. Orifice is aligned and parallel with the venturi tube to the burner, the venturi is properly positioned over the orifice, and
that the burner is properly seated.

To lower the flame, turn the adjusting screw clockwise 1/8 of a turn at a time until the flame is at the desired
height.
To raise the flame, turn the adjusting screw counter clockwise 1/8 of a turn at a time until the flame is at the
desired height.
5. To replace the knob, align the “D” shaped cut-out on the knob with the valve stem.
6. Push the knob straight onto the valve stem and turn the knob clockwise to the off position.
7. To check new burner height: Push and turn the burner knob counter clockwise to the lowest simmer. If you hear a
