COOKTOP USE BURNERS Cap Your new professional gas range is equipped with burners typical of those used in restaurants. These burners are designed for maximum cleanability and controllability. The large cap spreads the simmer heat out Brass to avoid too much heat being concentrated on the center Port of the pan. The simmer flame is always on when the Ring burner is in use. The burner should never be operated if Simmer the cap is not in place. All the cooktop burners have Flame electronic spark ig

COOKTOP USE BURNER GRATES The burner grates are heavy cast iron. They were designed in sections to make them easier to remove and clean. (See fig. 05 & 06) COOKWARE 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.

COOKTOP USE Top View of Wok Ring Fig. 08 GRILL USE GRILL Side B Side A The grill grates are reversible (see fig. 09). Place the side with the two grooved tabs towards the rear of the Rear cooktop. The grill grates are made of durable porcelain enameled cast iron.

GRILL USE CERAMIC RODS The layer of ceramic rods, under the grill racks, will last for many years with proper care. They are shipped from the factory pre-assembled on the radiant tray, ready to be set in place into the fire box, under the grill racks. Be sure to remove any packaging material from the radiant tray and rods before using the grill. Burned food particles and ash can be emptied off the radiant tray when cool by gently shaking over a waste receptacle. Chipping or cracking of the ceram

GRIDDLE USE The built-in griddle on your cooktop is made from Type 304 stainless steel, highly polished to provide a smooth cooking surface. It is normal for it to darken with use as oils cook onto the surface to provide a stick resistant base or “seasoning” . Shipping Screw Since the griddle is made from stainless steel, the (remove) surface will not rust. The griddle burner is thermostatically controlled and cycles on and off to maintain the set temperature. The “Heating” light indicates that

GRIDDLE USE USE OF THE GRIDDLE Before starting to cook on the griddle, be sure the drip tray and liners are in place. Preheat griddle for 15 minutes with the control knob set to the temperature suggested on the cooking chart. When the griddle is preheated, the HEATING light will turn off. Place the food on the griddle and cook to desired doneness. NOTE: When the griddle is properly seasoned it can be used without any additional shortening. However, it can be used for flavor.

OVEN USE SETTING THE OVEN Decide if you are going to use BAKE or CONVECTION BAKE. These cooking modes are for baking, roasting or warming using one, two or three racks. If you are going to use regular Bake, simply turn the control knob to the temperature used in the recipe. To use Convection Bake, push the Convection Switch (located on the control panel) and turn the control knob to the temperature desired. Models RGS-484GG, RGS-485GD, RGS-486GL and RGS-486GD have two ovens. The oven on the lef

OVEN USE Baking rack position One or two racks can be used simultaneously during bake. Place the rack(s) in the desired position before turning the oven on. Store any unused racks out of the oven. Rack position 2 (second from bot- tom) will probably be used the most for single rack baking. If you are using two racks simultaneously, be sure to check the food on the bottom rack sooner than the minimum time. The food on the lower rack position may cook slightly faster than the food on the upper rac

OVEN USE metal roasting rack. Glass-ceramic or glass utensils do not conduct heat as well as metal, but they can be used. Use them for foods that do not require a dark brown crust or crisping, such as soufflés. Baked items cook more quickly and evenly if they are individually smaller in size, i.e. two or three small foods do better than one large piece. When single food items are baked, always center the food on the rack. If several foods are being baked, space them evenly on the rack or racks.
