OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
RANGE TOPS
Electric range tops consist of various top arrangements, depending upon the specific
models purchased.
Options include
1.) 12" x24" hot plates
2.) Round speed units
3.)
Griddles
4.) Induction Burners
Three position switches, thermostats, or infinite controls independently control these
units.
All thermostats are used in conjunction with a red indicator or pilot lamp. When the light
is on the elements are energized and bringing the plate to the temperature set on the
thermostat. When the light is off the plate has reached the temperature set on the
thermostat. Griddle pilot lights should be allowed to cycle at least twice before usage.
Recommended Usage:
1.)
12" x 24" hot plates. - Heavy stockpots and kettles.
2.)
French Plates- Light duty saucepans and small stockpots.
(NOT recommended for large stockpots.)
3.)
Griddles - Used for grilling product directly on surface.
CAUTION
All hot plates and speed units should be turned to the low or off position when not in use.
Allowing these elements to stay in the full on or high position with nothing on top to
absorb and dissipate the heat is detrimental to element life. Lang warranty provisions do
not cover abuse of this nature.
INITIAL START-UP
Hot Plates
To “dry out” the hot plate, set the thermostat dial at 250°F and turn on the power switch. Allow
unit to cycle at least 15 minutes at this heat level. Reset the thermostat to 350°F allowing the
same time. Then reset the thermostat to 450°F allowing the same time. Continue doing this
until you reach 850°F then allow the unit to maintain this temperature for a minimum of 4 hours.
More time may be required if the unit has to operate in a moist environment.
If the unit is out of use for three or more days, a one-hour preheat schedule should be used, especially when
exposed to high humidity and/or cool temperatures.
French Plates
To “dry out” the French plate, set the six-heat switch to the first setting and turn on the power
switch. Allow unit to cycle at least 15 minutes at this heat level. Reset the six-heat switch to
position 2 and allow the same time. Reset the six-heat switch to position 3 and allow the same
time. Continue doing this until you reach position 6 then allow the unit to maintain the
temperature for a minimum of 4 hours. More time may be required if the unit has to operate in a
moist environment.
If the unit is out of use for three or more days, a one-hour preheat schedule should be used,
especially when exposed to high humidity and/or cool temperatures.
