7. Check that the appropriate minimum clearances are satisfied (see page 6).
8. Check that there is sufficient clearance to open oven doors, and to pull-out the grease drawer and oven
racks.
9. Check that adequate ventilation (fresh air supply and hood exhaust) is available to the room in which
the appliance will operate per previous instructions.
10. Using ONLY water, wipe clean all cooking surfaces (especially griddle surfaces).
11. Check that nothing is obstructing the air intake openings and/or the combustion-exhaust openings.
Step 7: Check Operation and Break-in of Unit.
Check the operation, as follows:
1. Remove the rust preventative material from the entire surface of the range using a non-flammable
grease solvent.
2. Turn electricity supply on.
3. Turn gas supply on. Immediately check all gas connections for leaks using soapy water.
4. Light the pilot (see the appropriate Operation section elsewhere in this manual). Check the pilot for
correct flame height.
5. Begin to break-in all griddle surfaces by turning on all griddle burners to LOW for at least ONE HOUR.
(In case any problems occur, do not leave the unit unattended during this time!) This will temper the
griddle surface and avoid possible damage.
6. While waiting, check the operation of the BASE OVEN (NOT THE GRIDDLE), for the full-range of
operating settings.
7. Complete the break-in of all griddle surfaces (after they have been operating at LOW for at least one
hour) by gradually bringing each griddle up to frying temperature. Then spread over each griddle three
or four ounces of beef suet, or as a substitute, baking soda, to season it. Never allow water on a hot
griddle and never wash it with soap and water.
8. Check that gas supply is adequate by simultaneously turning on all burners to their highest setting,
then again checking that all burner flames have correct appearance and height.
9. Turn-off all burners and allow unit to cool.
Step 8: Wipe Clean and Shut-Down Range
Complete the installation by leaving the unit ready for customer use:
1. Wipe clean all surfaces.
2. Unless the unit is to be placed in service immediately, shut off the gas and electricity.
3. Make sure that a copy of this manual will be available to the people who will operate and maintain the
unit.
