Preheat the grill for approximately 5 minutes
minimum. The hot grill sears the food, sealing in
the juices.
The longer the preheat time, the faster the meat
browns and the darker the brand marks.
Grilling requires high heat for optimum results.
High heat is necessary for searing and proper
browning. Most foods are cooked at medium
h e a t s e t t i n g s f o r m o s t o f t h e c o o k i n g t i m e .
However, when grilling large pieces of meat or
BURNER SETTINGS
The
rangetop
burner
valves
have
infinite
settings and there are no fixed positions on the
control knobs between HI and SIMMER. To
turn the rangetop burner on, push in the
control knob and turn it counterclockwise
to the "LITE" position. An audible clicking
sound will be heard. When the gas has
been ignited by the electronic spark igniter,
turn the knob to the desired setting.
Note: If the Igniter continues to click after the
burner has been lit, turn the knob to a setting
other than LITE, or HI. If the problem still persists,
please call our Service Hotline at 866-402-4600.
CAUTION! When turning on any RANGETOP
bur ner , be s ur e t o st op at t he " LI T E " pos i t i on
before turning the burner to a flame setting for
cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned
beyond the "LITE" position, to HI, MEDIUM, or
LO, there will be a burst of flame when the burner
does light. This could cause burns or damage to
the surrounding counter top.
BURNER GRATES
The burner grates are a heavy cast iron. They ere
designed in sections to make them easier to remove
and clean.
PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
For best results we recommend using Professional
Cookware. These types of utensils can be found at your
finer department stores, specialty cooking shops, or
restaurant supply stores. If using regular cookware
be very careful if pans have plastic handles, as our
Culinarian burners can melt or bubble the handles.
THE CONTROL KNOBS
The control knobs are readily associated with
the burners they control. The RANGETOP control
knobs are labeled in front of the burners. The
oven control is placed slightly higher than the
other control knobs. This is due to the physical size
of the commercial type thermostats used on the
product.

Do not leave the grill unattended while in use.
Do not use charcoal briquettes, ceramic plates, or
coals of any kind.
After removing all packaging materials, check to
be certain that the grill components are correctly
assembled in the grill box. The grill grates and
the burner are assembled in the grill box from
the factory.
Note: Your grill racks are made of cast iron and

USING THE WOK RING
Wok grate is available as accessory for wok cooking
and stir-fry: This can be placed on any top burner, by
removing the top grate and placing the wok grate
The Culinarian Wok system is perfectly designed to
deliver high intense heat, by spreading the flame under
the diameter of the wok pan.
All the range-top burners have electronic spark ignition
to eliminate continuously burning pilots. When the main
burner flame is blown out, it will relight. Also each
burner has its own ignition module. If one module fails
all others will continue to work and you are not inconven-
ienced.
If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking
sound. If the burner does not click, TURN OFF
BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown
fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If the igniter still
fails to operate, please call our customer service depart-
ment at 1-866-402-4600.
Note.
If you are using propane gas, a slight pop or flash may
occur at the burner ports a few seconds after the burner
has been turned "off". This "extinction pop" is normal for
propane gas.
COOKING ON THE GRILL
The burner should light within approximately 45 seconds.
