COOKTOP USE
•
For safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond
the bottom of the cooking utensil. Never allow flames
to curl up the side of the pan.
•
Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-
ceramic) should be used with medium to low flames.
If you are cooking with a large amount of liquid a
slightly larger flame can be used.
The burner grates are heavy cast iron coated on both sides
with porcelain enamel. They were designed in sections to
make them easier to remove and clean. Because they are
coated on both sides, they can be placed in the dishwasher
to clean. For additional cleaning tips see the porcelain
enamel cleaning section on page 24. The grates also come
equipped with leveling screws. See page 28.
Located under the burners and/or the griddle and/or the
grill is a stainless steel drip tray/s. On models with the
griddle and/or grill there is also a drip tray liner. Pull the
tray/s out for cleaning
after they are cool
.
DO NOT PULL THE DRIP TRAY OR THE
LINERS OUT DURING OR IMMEDIATELY
AFTER COOKING ON THE OVEN, THE
GRILL OR THE GRIDDLE.
HOT GREASE MAY BE RUNNING FROM THE
GRILL OR THE GRIDDLE INTO THE DRIP TRAY
LINERS.
For best results we recommend using Professional
Cookware. This type of utensil can be found at your finer
department stores, specialty cooking shops, or Restaurant
Supply Stores. If using regular cookware be very careful if
the pans have plastic handles, as these large professional
size burners can flame up on the outside of the pan and
melt or bubble the handles.
The control knobs are readily associated with the burners
they control. The cooktop control knobs are in front of the
burners, the grill and/or the griddle they control. The oven
or griddle control/s are placed slightly lower than the con-
trol knobs. This is due to the physical size of the commer-
cial type thermostats used on the product.
The cooktop burners have an infinite number of heat set-
tings as there are no fixed positions between HI and LO.
To turn ON a cooktop burner, push the control in, then
turn it counterclockwise to the LITE position. You will
hear the igniter click. When the gas is ignited all around
the burner, turn the knob back to the desired setting.
When using the simmer burner always ensure that the sim-
mer burner lights from the main burner.
