Owner’s Manual
AR-GF Series Ranges
Before cooking in your oven for the first time remove oven racks and wash them with hot soapy water. Thoroughly rise, dry and
replace them in the oven.
During initial start-up of the oven, after all performance checks and adjustments have been made, the oven should be allowed to
burn off any oils or solvents left from the manufacturing process. In any case, these materials are safe for the environment – but it is
best they not contribute to the taste or odor of your first oven cooking experience.
ovEN BURN-oFF PRoCEDURE
• Turn on the kitchen ventilating hood.
• Light the oven according to the instructions in the manual.
• Set the oven thermostat temperature to 350ºF.
• Let the oven run for one hour.
• Turn on the convection fan.
• Set the oven thermostat to 450ºF.
• Leave the oven operational for an additional hour.
• Shut off the oven by turning the thermostat to the OFF position.
During the oven burn-off process, some strong odors or minor smoke may be experienced as remaining oils or solvents on internal
parts are oxidized. This is the primary reason for the burn-off process and should dissipate by the completion of the time period.
