OPERATION WARNING: THE RANGE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, SERVICING AND CLEANING THE RANGE. BEFORE FIRST USE Clean off the rust preventive compound on the surface units with a cloth dampened with a grease solvent. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Seasoning The cast iron surface plates must be seasoned. To do this, grease the top, then turn the element switches to LO (or thermostat to 300°F) and allow the plates to heat up gradually for about 2 hours. R

OVEN CONTROLS (Fig. 1) Thermostat — (located on the right side of the switch panel) controls and maintains oven temperature around the desired set temperature. Temperature range of the oven is from 175°F to 550°F. 3-Heat Switches — (two switches which are located one on each side of the thermostat) control the top and bottom oven heating elements, thereby controlling the rate of temperature build-up. At HI position, the maximum element power is utilized (both elements connected in parallel), a

USING THE RANGE TOP Use the high setting to bring food quickly up to its cooking temperature, then reduce to the actual cooking temperature. During traffic lulls, reduce plate temperature to idle around 200°F (or set 3-heat switch to MED). When turned to HI, plates will perform bulk cooking jobs just as rapidly. 12" x 24" Hot Top Each hot top section is thermostatically controlled. Each may be independently operated at the same or different temperatures, providing you with selective heat cont

When cooking is completed, open oven door and unload product. After oven cools, any spills should be wiped up as quickly as possible to prevent them from becoming stubborn stains. OPERATING HINTS Preheat the oven and surface units to cooking temperature before cooking the product. Become familiar with the function of the controls and the area of their operation. Avoid excessive door opening. Also avoid direct air current on the oven. Use flat-bottomed, straight-sided pots and pans. Use covers

Stewing: Browning Meat in Small Amount of Hot Fat, Then Cooking with Liquid in Covered Utensil — Season meats and dredge in flour, if desired. Brown in hot fat and add liquid. Leave on high heat until food reaches cooking temperature, then switch to low heat for the slow cooking that produces tender foods. (Meats can also be braised in the oven, with a covered pan, after browning on the surface unit.) Stock Pot Work — Use high temperature setting to start food boiling. Use high heat only un

TROUBLESHOOTING Unsatisfactory browning of the products baked in the oven is often caused by incorrect installation or operation. The most common problems and their causes are listed below. PROBLEM CAUSES Bottom of product burned - 1. Incorrect switch positions. Use next lowest position for overbrowned top light, or vice versa surface and/or next highest for light surface. 2. Oven heated to temperature above proper baking temperature and insufficient time allowed for cooling. Approximate cooli
