Cooking Utensils Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking utensils that are most appropriate for the type cooking being done. Any and all cooking utensils are suitable for use in the range and it is not necessary to replace your present domestic utensils with commercial cookware. This a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience. NOTE: WHEN USING BIG POTS AND/OR HIGH FLAMES, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE FRONT BURNERS. THERE IS MORE ROOM IN THE FRONT AND POTENTIAL CLEANUP OF REAR OR APPLIANCE DUE TO STAINING OR DISCOLORATION WILL BE MINIMIZED. Before You Use Your New Range All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the range thoroughly with hot, soapy water. Steel Griddle/Simmer Plate (If applicable) The griddle is a heavy-weight, polished steel griddle that has a USDA authorized protective coating. Before using, remove protective coating using a Scotch Brite® soft scour pad. It is very important to season the griddle by coating lightly with cooking oil. 6 Grill (If applicable) The grates should be removed and washed in hot soapy water, rinsed and then replaced prior to use. Other grill parts should be removed, dusted, and replaced making sure that no flammable materials have been accidentally placed in the grill. Wok Pan w/Lid (If applicable) Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from the wok. Clean thoroughly with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil (do not use corn oil) to the entire inside surface with a paper towel. Heat the wok on medium setting until the cooking surface turns golden brown. Repeat this procedure several times. This seasoning seals the pores of the metal, keeps food from sticking, and prevents the wok from rusting. Wipe off excess oil before using or storing. Drip Tray/Pan The drip tray should be pulled out and checked for flammable materials. Make sure to unwrap the drip pan and replace it in its proper place under the griddle or grill (if applicable). Oven Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and dry thoroughly. Basic Functions of Your Oven NATURAL AIRFLOW BAKE Heat is radiated from the two bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated with natural airflow. This is your traditional bake setting. INFRARED BROIL The broil burner at the top of the oven heats the metal screen until it glows. The glowing screen produces the infrared heat, searing the outside of broiled foods and sealing in juices. 7
