if the burner flames are smothered, unburned
gas will escape into the room.
ONLY certain types of glass, heat proof glass
-
ceramic, ceramic earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range use. Other types of
utensils may break with sudden
DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD CONTAINERS.
A buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst
and cause injury
DURING COOKING, set the burner control so that
the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and
does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
USE CAUTION to ensure that drafts like those
from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable
materials toward the flames or push the flames so
that they extend beyond the edges of the pot.
TO MINIMIZE ACIDENT,
position handles
of
utensil inward so that they do not extend over
adjacent work areas, cooking areas or the edge
of the range.
HOLD THE HANDLE of the pan to prevent
movement of the utensil when stirring food.
DO NOT USE the BBQ grill top section
for
grilling excessively fatty meats or products
that
promote flare
-
ups.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease
deposits to collect. Clean after each use.
KEEP BURNER PORTS CLEAN. This is essen-
tial
for proper lighting and maintenance of the
burners.
It is necessary to clean the burner
ports when
there is a boil over or when the
burner does
not light though the electronic igniters
click.
CLEAN THE RANGE
-
TOP SECTION WITH CAUTION.
Avoid steam bums; do not use a wet sponge or cloth
to
clean the range while it is hot. Some cleaners produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow
directions• provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
BE SURE ALL RANGE CONTROLS ARE TURNED
OFF
and the range is cool before using any type of
aerosol
cleaner on or around the range. The chemi-
cal that

SAFETY PRACTICES / COOKING
BE CAREFUL not to damage the glass covering the
infrared broiler in the gas oven. If the glass is damaged,
air can enter the distribution box behind the glass, possi-
bly resulting in an explosion.
In the event that personal clothing catches fire,
DROP ANDROLLimmediately to extinguish flames.
DO NOT obstruct the path of combustion or
ven-
tilation air.
For safety reasons and to avoid equipment damage,
never sit, stand, or lean on any part of the range.
Service should only be performed by a
quali-
fied, Factory Authorized Service Technician. Techni-
cians must disconnect the power supply before servicing
this unit.
Remove all packing materials and labels from
your
appliance. If the installer has not set up your appliance,
please do it before using it.
Place the oven racks in the proper position before
turning on the oven.
For correct rack position, check your recipe.
The
most frequently used position is number 2. The
rack positions are numbered from the bottom
to the
top as in the floors of a building.
CAUTION! Do not use aluminum foil to cover
the oven racks or to line the oven. Heat can be
trapped beneath the foil, this can cause damage
to the oven and food may not cook correctly.
Before BAKING and BROILING
Turn on the oven and broiler burners one at a
time for 20 to 30 minutes each. This burns off the
manufacturing oils used by the factory. Turn the
oven burner on to 450°F and then the broiler
burner ON to "Broil". Be sure to turn on the
ventilator above your range while these burners
are on, as there will be an odor.

BURNER EFFICIENCY AND
FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the
igniters
-
clean for proper lighting and efficient
performance of the range
-
top burners.
The burner flame should burn completely around
the burner with no excessive noise or lifting. The
flame should be blue in color and stable with no
yellow tips.
An improper air
gas mixture may cause either a
burner flutter or a yellow tipped flame. A techni-
cian
.should adjust the flame. During initial use,
foreign
particles in the gas line, or dust in the air around
the appliance may cause an orange flame. This
will disappear with use.
NOTE. If you are using propane gas, a slight pop
flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds
after the burner has been turned "off". This
"extinction pop" is normal for propane gas
.
FLAME
HEIGHT
The correct height of the flame mainly depends on
the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil.
Following are some basic rules for selecting
flame height.
For safety reasons the flame must never extend
beyond the bottom of the cooking utensil. Never
allow flames to curl up the
side of the pan.
You can choose between three differ-
ent burners.
Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such
as
glass
-
ceramic) should be used with
medium to
low flames. If you are cooking
with a large pot, a
larger flame can be used
.

Preheat the grill for approximately 5 minutes
minimum. The hot grill sears the food, sealing in
the juices.
The longer the preheat time, the faster the meat
browns and the darker the brand marks.
Grilling requires high heat for optimum results.
High heat is necessary for searing and proper
browning. Most foods are cooked at medium
heat settings for most of the cooking time.
However, when grilling large pieces of

BURNER SETTINGS
The rangetop burner valves have infinite set-
tings and there are no fixed positions on the
control knobs between HI and SIMMER. To
turn the
rangetop burner on, push in the
control knob and
turn it counterclockwise
to the "LITE" position. An
audible clicking
sound will be heard. When the gas
has
been ignited by the electronic spark igniter,
turn
the knob to the desired setting.
Note: If the Igniter continues to click after the
burner has been lit, turn the knob to a setting
other than LITE, or HI. If the problem still persists,
please call our Service Hotline at 866

-
4600.
CAUTION! When turning on any RANGETOP
burner, be sure to stop at the "LITE" position
before turning the burner to a flame setting for
cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned
beyond the "LITE" position, to HI, MEDIUM, or
LO, there will be a burst of flame when the burner
does light. This could cause burns or damage to
the surrounding counter top.
BURNER GRATES
The burner grates are a heavy cast iron. They ere
designed in sections to make them easier to remove
and clean.
PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
For best results we recommend using Professional
Cookware. These types of utensils can be found at your
finer department stores, specialty cooking shops, or
restaurant supply stores. If using regular cookware
be very careful if pans have plastic handles, as our
Culinarian
burners can melt or bubble the handles.
THE CONTROL KNOBS
The control knobs are readily associated with
the
burners they control. The RANGETOP control
knobs
are labeled in front of the burners. The
oven
control is placed slightly higher than the
other
control knobs. This is due to the physical size
of the commercial type thermostats used on the
product.
CAUTION!
Use extreme care when placing the grill
components into the grill compartment. Avoid
hitting the ceramic igniter that could break,
preventing operation of the grill.
Do not leave the grill unattended while in use.
Do not use charcoal briquettes, ceramic plates, or
coals of any kind.
After removing all packaging materials, check to
be certain that the grill components are correctly
assembled in the grill box. The grill grates and
the burner are assembled in the grill box from
the factory.

setting near the end of the cooking time.
After grilling and the food has been removed, turn
the
knob to HI and burn off any excess grease that may
have accumulated on the burner. When
cooled, the
grill radiants can be turned upside down and heated
on high for 10 minutes to burn off any residual fat.
Use a brass wire brush, dipped in hot water, to
loosen food particles from the grate.
When the grill has cooled, clean the drip tray and

slits in the remaining fat around the edges at (51
mm) intervals.
Brush on basting sauces towards the end of cooking.
Add seasoning or salt after grilling. Early salting dries
out meat.
Use a spatula or tongs instead of a fork to turn the
meat. A fork punctures the meat and lets the juices
flow out.
After the juices begin to bubble to the surface, turn
the meat only once. This helps keep the juices in the
meat.
Some pieces of meat and poultry cook faster than
others. Move those pieces to the cooler area of the
grill until the rest has cooked.
The doneness of meat is affected by the thickness of
the cut. Chefs say it is impossible to have a rare
doneness with a thin cut.
GRILL RACKS
The grill racks are double sided, two position
grates, constructed of Cast Iron. Use the con-
cave side (channels up) for meats of higher fat
content (steaks, hamburgers, sausage patties,
etc.); use the convex side (channels down) with
foods of lesser fat content (fish, vegetables,

The intense heat needed for grilling may
also
cause flare
-
ups, due to grease and bast-
ing sauces dripping on
the hot radiants.
If flare
-
ups occur, use a long handled spatula
to move the food to another area of the grill.
Should flare
-
ups become excessive, remove
the
food from the grill and turn off the burner
Excessive flames occur when cooking meat
with
high fat concentration, i.e. 30% ground
beef, untrimmed steaks, lamb chops, etc.
Be cautious when turning meat over, and
never
PLOP the meat on the grates.
PREPARING THE GRIDDLE
ELECTRIC GLOW IGNITER
The oven bake and broil burners are equipped with
an electric glow igniter and safety system which
lights the gas. There will be a delay after the control
knob has been turned on to when you actually hear
gas arrive at the burner. The burner will ignite after
the gas reaches the burner, sometimes this can take
as long as 45 seconds.
Check that the grease tray is tucked under the
griddle plate overhang.
Turn the knob to the cooking temperature to pre-
heat the griddle.
Preheat 5
-
10 Minutes.
Add butter, margarine, shortening or oil for more
flavor: Add food and cook!
During any cooking process there is a certain
amount of moisture that evaporates from the
food. The amount of moisture that condenses
on the oven depends on the moisture content of
the food. The moisture will condense on any
surface that is cooler than the inside of the
oven, such as the control panel or the top of the
door.
Description:
The built in griddle is made of non rusting
3/8" thick stainless steel. This produces a surface
that is easy to clean and never rusts.
The griddle has a aluminized steel straight
tube
burner that is lit by a hot surface igniter. The grid-
dle should pre heat for five to ten minutes.
A chopping block is available as an accessory and
purchased separately. It is sized to fit on top of the
griddle surface when Range top is not in use.
The burner is rated at 18,000 BTU/HR.
CONTROL KNOB
The griddle is thermostatically controlled with tem-
peratures marked on the knob from 150 degrees F
to 500 degrees F
There are no fixed settings on the knob.
HANDLING EXCESSIVE FLARE
-
UPS
The griddle must be level or tilted slightly
forward
for optimum performance. The grid-
dle should have been leveled during installa-
tion.
PRIOR TO USE, It Is NECESSARY to wash
the griddle plate with warm soapy water then
rinsed
with clear water. The griddle may be
used without
butter, margarine, or oil. How-
ever, a very small amount may be used to
flavor foods.
OVEN USE
GENERAL (Only on large self clean oven).
Your large new oven canbe used in 5cooking models
convec-
tion bake, regular bake, convection broil,
regular broil, rotis-
serie
To help you decide which way to cook your
food read
this information first. Remember this is a
new oven and the
thermostathasbeencheckedforaccuracy.Youroldovenhada
thermostat that over
the years got a littlecold. Check your reci-
pes for the correct time and temperature and don't use the old
time or temperature you were using to compensate
for your
old oven being off temperature.
SMALL OVEN REGULAR BAKE ONLY
BURNERS
Your new Culinarian Series
range is equipped
with bake and broil burners typical of those
used in restaurants. The oven broiler burner is
18,000 Btu/hr and the oven baking burner is
30,000 Btu/hr.
TO SET THE OVEN FOR CONVECTION BAKE
AND REGULAR BAKE
Decide if you are going to use CONVECTION BAKE or
REGULAR BAKE. These cooking modes are for baking
or warming: using one, two, three or four racks. If you
are going to use Regular Bake turn the oven control
knob to the temperature used in the recipe.
To use Convection Bake, simply press the
CONVECTION Button located on the front
panel to start the Convection Fan.
Convection Bake is baking with a fan at the back
of the oven circulating the hot air in a continuous
pattern around the food. This circulating hot air
heats and browns the surface of the food more
effectively than in a standard oven. This allows
most foods to be cooked at lower oven tempera-
ture or in less time,

if baked at the regular temperature. The air is re
-
circulated and reheated. Uncover, longer cooking
foods such as large pieces of meat or other foods
that can be cooked in low sided baking utensils or
air
leavened foods, are where you will see the most
sav-
ings in cooking time. Using multiple rack at the same
time will achieve a good time saving, as you can cook
more food at the same time. The number
of recipes
requiring preheating of the oven is reduced
considerably
because the heat reaches the food faster
as the hot air
circulates around the food.
FOODS SUITABLE FOR CONVECTION BAKE
Air Leavened Foods (angel food cake, soufflés,
cream puffs, meringue shells)
Appetizers
Breads
Main Dishes
Oven Meals (1 to 4 racks)
Cookies
Pies
Poultry
Roasts
CONVERTING RECIPES TO CONVECTION BAKE
Low sided baking utensils will provide the best results,
as
the hot air can reach all sides of the utensil easier.
The
oven temperature can be left the same as the
recipe
and the food cooked a shorter period of time.
The
temperature can be lowered 25°F to 50°F and the
food will probably take the same length of time to
cook as the recipe states. If you find that food is
ade-
quately browned on the outside, but not done in the
center, lower the temperature another 25°F and add
to baking time. When reducing the temperature
al-
ways check the food for doneness, a minute or
two
before the minimum time stated in the recipe,
as
time can always be added. Some recipes will cook
faster than others. There is no way to predict exactly
how long each recipe will take when you convert it to
convection.
Convection will be easier to use after you have used
it a few times as you will begin to understand the way
it bakes.
SELECTING UTENSILS FOR CONVECTION BAKE
Cooking by convection does not require any specially
designed baking utensils. You probably have many
utensils in your kitchen that are suitable to use. When
choosing a baking utensil, consider the material, the
size and shape as they all affect the baking time, the
appearance of the finished product.
Metal bake ware (aluminum, steel and cast iron) all
result in the fastest cooking time and the best end
product. Aluminum pans work best for all types of
baked goods. For the best browning, use a pan with
a
dark or dull finish that absorbs heat, when baking
pies and breads. A shiny finish works best for cakes
and cookies, since it reflects some of the heat and
provides a tenderer surface. Cookie sheets with only
one lip will give the best results, as the heated air can
circulate all around the sides of the food.
For roasting use bottom of the broil pan and elevate the
meat on a metal roasting rack. Glass
-
ceramic or glass
utensils do not conduct heat as well as metal, but they
can be used. Use them for foods that do not require a
dark brown crust or crisping, such as soufflés.
Baked items cook more quickly and evenly if they are
individually smaller in size, i.e. twoor three smallfoods do
better than one large piece. When single food items are
baked, always center the rack. If several foods are
being
baked, space them evenly on the racks.
RACK POSITIONS
One to four racks can be used simultaneously
during convection baking. Place the rack(s) in the
desired position before turning the oven on. Store the
unused racks out of the oven.
Rack position 2 (second from bottom) will probably
be used the most for single rack convection baking.
When baking on more than one rack you do not
need to stagger the pans. Allow at least 1" of space
between the oven walls and the pans so the heated
air can circulate. Pans should be placed in the
center of the oven, stacked above each rack.
REGULAR BAKE
Bake is baking with hot convected air; with not
fan.
The air movement comes from natural convection
as
the air heats, it moves to the top of the oven.
This
oven mode is the same as you have been using
for
baking on one or two racks.
FOODS SUITABLE FOR BAKE

RACK POSITIONS
One or two racks can be used simultaneously during
bake. Place the rack(s) in the desired position
before
turning the oven on. Store any unused racks
out of
the oven.
Rack position 2 (second from bottom) will probably
be used the most for single rack baking.
If you are using two racks simultaneously, be sure to
check the food on the bottom rack sooner than the
minimum time. The food on the lower rack position
may cook slightly faster than the food on the upper
rack, particularly if youare using large baking utensils
so
that one is not directly above the other and the

Aluminum foil should never be used to
cover the oven racks or to line the oven bottom.

at least one inch of space between the oven walls and
the pans.
If using large or commercial size baking utensils, the
food may take a few extra minutes as the air cannot
circulate as freely as it does with a smaller pan. When
using commercial size baking utensils, use only one
GETTING THE BEST RESULTS
BAKING:
Follow the recipe amount and ingredients,
including the size and shape of the baking utensil
recommended in the recipe.
Do not open the oven door "just to peek," use the
interior oven light and look through the window.
Do not use the oven for storage, especially when
baking in the oven. Extra utensils, not being used
for baking, can affect the food product, baking
time, browning, and end result.
If you are using glass utensils, lower the
tempera-
ture 25°F.
Use a minute timer and set it for the minimum
time suggested in the recipe.
CONVECTION BAKING
Follow the first three recommendations above
.
Metal utensils give better results, in convection, than
do glass baking utensils. If you use glass, it
usually is
not necessary to lower the temperature
an additional
25°F
.
Use a minute timer and set it for less than minimum
time suggested in the recipe. The first time you use a
recipe in the convection mode, be sure to note the
new baking time on your recipe
for future reference

Notes:
HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING
Recipes and baking times vary if you are baking at high
altitude. For accurate information, write to the. Agriculture
Extension Service. Colorado State
University, Fort
Collins, Colorado 80521. Specify the
type of information
and the baking mode (convention
bake or bake) you need,
i.e. cakes, breads, etc. There may be a cost for the bulle-
tins.
TO USE THE OVEN ON LOW TEMPERATURE
The oven can be used to keep hot food hot, to
dehydrate
food, to warm plates, for slow cooking (as
in a crock pot),
and to defrost foods.
You can keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature.
Set
the oven to the temperature suggested in the
chart. Rare
meat must be eaten when it is removed
from the oven, as
continuescookingfromitsownheat.
To keep food moist, it must be covered with
alumi-
num foil or a lid.
To dehydrate food, follow suggestions in a recipe.
To warm plates, check with the dishware manufac
turer for
the recommended
temperatures.
To use the oven as a low cooker set the oven control
knob
to 255°F. Place the food in the oven in a panwith a
tight fitting
lid.Followrecipes for thistype of cooking.
To thaw uncooked frozen food, set the oven control knob
to "warm". Be sure the food is tightly wrapped
in foil. Thaw
the food just enough. Cook immediately.
Do not refreeze.
To thaw frozen cooked food, set the oven knob to
170°F. Loosen the freezer wrapping. Do not use plas-
tic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
FOOD SAFETY
According to the United States Department of
Agri-
culture you should not hold foods at temperatures
between 40°F to 14F for longer than 2 hours.
USING CONVECTION BROIL AND REGULAR
BROIL.
TO SET THE OVEN FOR CONVECTION
BROIL
AND REGULAR BROIL
CAUTION:
Pay special attention when setting the
Oven Control Knob on "BROIL". If you set the knob
past the "BROIL" setting, the burner will not ignite.
Decide if you are going to use REGULAR BROIL or
CONVECTION BROIL. If you are going to use regular
broil turn the Oven Control knob To "BROIL". To use
Convection Broil turn the Oven Control Knob to
"BROIL" and press the CONVECTION button to operate
the fan. The burner will ignite after the gas reaches
the burner. The "oven on" indicator light will come
on to let you know that the broiler is currently on.
During the broiling process, the infra
-
red burner
produces such an intense heat that the burner will
cycle on and off to maintain an efficient yet safe
interior cooking environment.
The HEATING indicator light on the valve panel cycles
on and off with burner to let the user know when the
burner is lit. This cycling process is used to evenly
distribute and safety control the intense heat that the
broil burner produces. The cycling feature prevents
the burner from producing range
-
damaging heat.
RACK POSITION
The rack position depends on the type and
thickness of the food. Thick pieces of meat or
poultry (1" or more) would typically be broiled
or convection broiled on rack position

Keep in mind that convection baking results vary,
depending on type of product.
USING THE OVEN ROTISSERIE
Your Gas Self Clean oven contains a rotisserie system,
complete with a vertical positioning rod, a U
-
bracket, a
horizontal spit rod, and heavy
-
duty, cast stainless steel
prongs. Also, the oven comes with a porcelain
-
coated,
two piece broiler pan, providedfor your convenience.
Using the rotisserie is quite simple.
CULINARIAN SERIES

USING YOUR OVEN
chops and hamburgers would typically be broiled
on rack position 4. If top browning casseroles or
bread, the thickness of the food will indicate the posi-
tion. Casseroles and bread would typically be
browned on rack position 2 (see instructions below
for more information).
CONVECTION BROIL
Convection broil is cooking by intense infrared radiant
heat supplied by the broil burner while fan at the back
of the oven circulates hot air in a continuous
pattern
around the food. Convection broil cooks the food with
better results for thicker cuts of meat. The
meat sears
on the outside and retains more juices and natural
flavor inside with less shrinkage.
FOODS SUITABLE FOR CONVECTION BROILING:
Thicker Cuts of Meat (1" or more)
Rack position #3 (same position for broiling)
Thicker, Irregular
-
sized Pieces of Poultry (1" or more),
Rack position #2 or #3 (same position for broiling)
Thicker, Pieces of Fish (1" or more)
Rack position #3 (same position for broiling)
Top Browning: Casseroles and Breads
Rack position #2 or #3 (same position for broiling)

Rack position #4
Top Browning: Casseroles and breads
Rack position #2 or #3
NOTE: The broiler pan for both broiling and convection
broiling should be placed all the way to the back of the
ovenandcenteredontherackforbestresults.
USING A MEAT THERMOMETER TO BROIL AND
CONVECTION BROIL
To accurately determine the doneness of a thick steak
or
chop (1
-
1/2) inches thick or more), use a meat ther-
mometer. Insert the point of the thermometer
into the
side of the meat to the center. Cook the first
to 90°F for
rare meat. Cook the first side 100°F for medium to
well done. Cook the second side to the desired de-
gree for the doneness you want, 140°F to 145°F for
rare, and 150°F to 155°F for medium
and 160°F to
165°F for well done. If you are cooking
pork, cook to
160°F.
A large two
-
piece broil pan comes with your new
range. When you are broiling, always use both
pieces. Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil.
This slotted grid allows the grease drippings to flow
into the bottom of the pan keeping it away from the
intense heat of the infra
-
red broiler burner. This help to
minimize thesmokingandspatteringofthe grease.
TO GET THE BEST RESULTS
OPEN DOOR BROILING
NOTE: Open Door
Broiling is also possible with the
Precision Series oven. However, the oven door hinge
DOES NOT have a dedicated Broil

Stop position.
To
achieve the best results for Open
-
Door Broiling,
open
oven door approximately 6
-
8 Inches.
WARNING! NEVER leave pets and/or small children
unattended while oven is in the Open Door Broiling
position. Front panel and knobs may get hot to
the touch as the heat is directly escaping to the
front
section of the oven. Wear oven mitts and
always
use Caution!
NOTE: It is not recommended to use the convection
fan if Open Door Broiling.
Defrost the food before starting to cook.
Put food on broiler pan, center and push broiler pan
to the very back of the oven rack.
Set a minute timer for the minimum time to check
the
food.
Steaks shouldbeatleastoneinchthick,ifrare

that is thin-
ner.
After half the total cooking time, turn the food over
only
once. It is not necessary to turn over thin foods (fillet
of fish, Ham slices, etc.). Liver slices
must be turned
over.
Use a two
-
piece broil pan. Two

piece broil pans are
designed to minimize smoke and spatter. DO
NOT
cover the slotted grid with aluminum foil. This will
catch the grease and could cause a fire.

proof Glass or
pottery as this
type of glassware cannot withstand
the intense heat
of the broiler burner. Place the vertical positioning
rod into the hole located on the bottom left side of
the oven can.
NOTE: You cannot use the broiler burner and
the
bake burner at the same time. When one is
on, the
other cannot be turned on!
Place the vertical positioning rod into the hole
located on the bottom left side of the oven can.
