OPERATION
WARNING:
THE RANGE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING OR SERVICING THE RANGE.
CONTROLS
OPEN TOP BURNER KNOB —
Regulates gas flow to top burners. To increase heat, turn knob
counterclockwise; to decrease, turn knob clockwise.
PREHEATING
Open Top Burners
Open top burners ignite quickly and do not require any preheating time. When food comes to a rolling
boil, cut back to slower boil to conserve energy, yet continue boiling. Turn burners ON only when in use.
CLEANING
Do not use Dawn
®
dish detergent to clean the exterior or interior components of the range.
Do not use scouring powder; it is extremely difficult to remove completely and can build up
accumulations that will damage the range.
Vulcan painted surfaces may be cleaned using a soft cloth and mild detergent solution.
Daily:
While still warm, wipe top with a soft cloth or other grease absorbing material to remove spillovers,
grease, etc., before they burn in. A crust on top of the hot top range looks unsightly and slows down
cooking speed because it reduces the flow of heat to the utensil.
Empty the grease pan daily or as often as necessary.
CAUTION: Remove the grease pan slowly and
be careful of liquid wave action.
It is recommended that the grease pan be emptied whenever it
is

filled.
The drip shield, grids and grease pan should be washed with a mild grease-dissolving
solution.
Clean cast iron open top grates with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a
clean, water-absorbent towel. Immediately after drying (with grates still removed from the range top),
season grates lightly with liquid vegetable or Pam
®
spray-type cooking oil.
After seasoning, replace grates onto the range. Turn all open top sections ON LOW and allow them
to burn for at least 15 minutes before using pots or pans on the range top.
Season the open top grates after each cleaning. Failure to season grates will cause grates to
rust.
Thoroughly clean backsplash, sides and front. Remove grease drip tray and pan, empty and wash out
in the same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.
