Gentle Close Door Feature
All oven doors come standard with a gentle close feature. The
door will remain in an open position until the door is
approximately 5” (12.7 cm) away from the oven. When reaching
this point, the door will require a slight push to engage the gentle
close mechaism. The closing speed of the door will vary according
to the oven temperature.
Rack Positions
The 36”W. and 48” W. right-hand oven is equipped with two full
extension glide racks and one standard tilt-proof rack. The 18” left-
hand oven is equipped with two standard tilt-proof racks. All
ovens have six rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from the
oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The
racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For
best results with conventional baking,
DO NOT
use more than one
rack at a time. It is also recommended, when using two racks, to
bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.

Operation
Griddle/Simmer Plate Operation
• Turn the griddle control knob counterclockwise to the desired
temperature setting. The power “ON” indicator light will glow indicating
the griddle thermostat is on.
• When the griddle has reached the desired temperature, the power “ON”
indicator light will turn off indicating the griddle is preheated to the
selected temperature.
• Use liquid cooking oil or butter for eggs, pancakes, French toast, fish and
sandwiches to prevent sticking.
• Routinely scrape loose food particles with a heat resistant plastic or
wooden spatula during cooking to make the cleanup easier and to avoid
the particles mixing with the food.
• To turn the griddle off, turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the “OFF”
position.
• ALWAYS turn to the“OFF” position when not in use and lower the heat
between cooking loads.
Note: On griddle model ranges, the griddle/simmer plate will not
function during the self-clean cycle.
Griddle/Simmer Plate Clean Up & Care
• AFTER the griddle has cooled, simply wipe down the surface with a clean
cloth or paper towel. The chrome griddle plate can then be removed
and taken to the sink for easy cleanup.
• After heavy cooking is completed and the griddle is still warm enough to
create steam, pour a small amount of club soda at room temperature
directly on the griddle. Using a heat resistant or wooden spatula, pull oils
and food particles toward the trough in front. Wipe entire surface with a
paper towel.
• Non-stick cooking spray is not recommended as it contains a high water
content that has a tendency to burn quickly.
• Corn oil is not recommended as it has a high sugar level. It will
caramelize and burn on the surface making it very difficult to remove.
• After using the griddle, always remove the grease trough located in the
front. Simply pull the trough towards you and lift out. The trough or tray
trap needs to be cleaned after each use. A fire hazard may occur if
grease is accumulated in the trough.
• Important: Never flood a hot griddle with cold water. This thermal shock
promotes griddle warping and can cause the griddle to crack if
continued over a period of time.
CAUTION: Chrome griddle plate is Not Dishwasher Safe
Optional Nonstick griddle/grill accessory plate is available for purchase.
