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 stop pots should be staggered when used on the cooktop.
Select the base diameter of the pot to match the diameter of the flame. The diameter of the flame 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 fire or melt.
Never let a pan boil dry
– and if it occurs remember is can be extremely hot – and very dangerous. If
this should occur, turn off 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 flat, the heavier the better
– and well balanced on the cooktop grate – sitting
flat without rocking
– preferably with tight fitting 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 flames, as in wok cooking, as they may contact flammable materials
or make the handles of the wok very hot. Use the wok ring to stabilize the wok.

PERATION
Always pre-heat the griddle on the low setting, at least ten minutes before cooking. The griddle is
equipped with a flame-sensing ignition system
– that automatically detects the presence of flame on the
griddle burner
– and relights it in the event it should go out.
To turn on the griddle
, push in and turn the control valve to the light position setting
. The power “ON”
indicator light will glow indicating the griddle valve is on. The griddle burner is equipped with a hot
surface igniter and gas safety valve system. Once the griddle burner has ignited, turn the power control
valve to the desired position, being careful not to overheat the surface
– this is best accomplished by
reducing the burner setting to low between food loads.
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 off any excess grease from the chrome surface with a
flexible 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 bottom, 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 chrome griddle surface.
