When using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type of appliance provides intense heat which can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed when using kitchen appliances, including the following: Read this Use and Care Manual thoroughly before using your new appliance. This will help to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions which came with this appliance. Be sure to have a qualified technician install and ground this appliance before using. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so you will know how and where to turn off the gas to the appliance. If you smell gas, the installer may not have done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely tight. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-ityourself" procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position; for your protection it must be done by a qualified service technician. If by some chance a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door to let the room air out. Do not attempt to use the appliance or turn any electrical switch on or off until the gas has had time to dissipate. Follow the instructions on page 1, "For Your Safety­ if You Smell Gas". This appliance has been factory assembled for natural or LP gas. It should be correctly adjusted from the factory. Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on, and/or touch any part of an appliance while in operation. Children in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the round oven door handle and may grab and open the oven door. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child, or severe burns if the oven is in use and hot. WARNING! Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of any appliance. Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto the appliance to reach these items. Never store anything in the oven or on the cooktop. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic items may melt or ignite and other types of items could be ruined. Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire. If the appliance is near a window be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the cooktop burners; they could catch on fire. Do not use water on grease fires. Turn all burners OFF, then smother fire with a metal lid, baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with, or get too close to, any burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury. Be certain to use only dry pot holders: moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky or frayed cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot burners, or burner grates. For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. 3 SAFETY PRACTICE AND PRECAUTIONS Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. This will cause the heat to be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop parts. cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. This appliance is for cooking. Never use the oven or cooktop to warm or heat a room. This could damage the WARNING! NEVER cooktop or oven parts. use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate surrounding area. Areas adjacent to WARNING! NEVER the burners may become hot enough to cause burns. When using the oven: Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven, the exterior area immediately surrounding the door or the back trim. The surfaces directly above the oven door may be hot if the oven has been operated with the door open, or if something has prevented the door from sealing. Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. When cooking with high flame settings, boil overs may cause smoking and greasy spill overs may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered by a severe boil over which effects the igniter, unburned gas will escape into the room. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium flames settings according to the manufacturer's directions. The use of professional utensils is recommended. Do not heat sealed food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst. 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. This could heat and/or melt the handles, and may increase cooking time. Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spill overs, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the cooktop. Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food. Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the cooktop burners. Clean after each use or boil over. For proper lighting and performance of the cooktop burners, keep the burner ports clean. It may be necessary to clean these when there is a boil spill or when the burner does not light, even though the electronic igniters click. Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer. 4 SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. Place oven racks in desired position while the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holders contact the hot interior of the oven. Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing foods. Do not rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. Wash gasket with hot water only. Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the range or cooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on them. The filter can be cleaned in a dishwasher or DishDrawer. Follow directions provided by ventilation manufacturer for cleaning. Turn the ventilator OFF in case of fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or other spirits on the cooktop. The blower, if in operation, could unsafely spread the flames. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air supply is available. For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance, never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door or cooking surface. Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this appliance. WARNING! California Proposition 65 - The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation to the room when cooking with gas. RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOOK-UP TO GAS SUPPLY: A manual valve must be installed external to the appliance, in an accessible location from the front for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance. The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. NOTE: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. NOTE: (mandatory for the State of Massachusetts) Alternate method of supplying gas must be installed into the unit. Installer supplied shut-off valve must be easily accessible inside cabinetry.

Oven Heat Shield 7 BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE 1. Remove all packaging materials and labels from your appliance. If the installer has not set up your appliance, do it now. Check that you have the following items: COOKTOP 5 burner head assemblies, burner caps and 3 grates Backguard (if other than island installation)(sold separately) OVEN One two-piece broil pan Three standard oven racks NOTE: If any of the listed accompanying items are missing, contact DCS at (888) 281-5698. Please be prepared with your Model #, Serial # and description of product you have purchased. Regarding use of aluminum foil in a DCS Range Oven: 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 cause food to not cook correctly. 2. 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 food product must be in the center of the oven for airflow). For broil use rack position 4. The rack positions are numbered from the bottom as in the floors of a building (Fig. 01). 3. Before baking or broiling: One at a time, turn the oven and broiler burners "ON" for 20 to 30 minutes each. This burns off the manufacturing oils used by the factory. Turn the oven burner on to 450º F and the broiler burner on to "BROIL". Turn on the ventilator above your range while these burners are on, as there will be an odor. OFF BAKE BAKE BROIL CLEAN 4 3 2 1 Fig. 01 8 BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE TO INSERT THE OVEN RACKS IN OVEN: 1. Hold the rack with the back safety stop in the up position and towards the rear of the oven. Slip it into the oven so the rack rails engage and ride on the rack rollers. 2. As you slide the rack into the oven, tip the rack up slightly (see Fig. 02), so that the safety stops on the back of the rack slide over the rollers in the oven. The safety stops keep the rack from sliding out of the oven when pulled forward. TO REMOVE OR REPOSITION THE RACKS: 1. Pull the rack forward. 2. Lift the front of the rack up so the safety stops clear the rack/rollers. 3. Pull the rack forward. 15º - 20º 15º Fig. 02 9 COOKTOP USE BURNERS Your new professional gas range is equipped with burners typical of those used in restaurants. These burners are designed for maximum cleanability and controllability. The large cap spreads the simmer heat out to avoid too much heat being concentrated on the center of the pan. The simmer flame is always "ON" when the burner is in use. The burner should never be operated if the cap is not in place. All the cooktop burners have electronic spark ignition to eliminate continuously burning pilots; when the burner is on and the flame is blown out, it will relight. CAP BRASS PORT RING SIMMER FLAME Fig. 03 SIMMERING Your new professional cooktop has exceptionally low simmering capabilities. The large cap serves as a heat diffuser to spread out the heat to avoid having a center hotspot. Keep in mind that because of the high heat capacity of the retention flame, and the mass of the cast iron burner grates (they retain heat longer than lighter, conventional grates) some foods may continue to cook by retained heat after the burner has been turned off. Should a strong draft or boil over extinguish the simmer flame it will relight automatically as the main flamer would. Burner Location 1,3,4 2,5 Max.

If the igniter is not clicking, TURN OFF THE BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If the igniter still fails to operate, see page 31, "Before Calling For Service". To light the burner manually, see page 27, "Power Failure". IGNITER (KEEP CLEAN) NOTE: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop or 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. Fig. 04 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 cooktop burners (Fig. 04). 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. 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. PROPER FLAME HEIGHT FLAME HEIGHT The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil, the material of the cooking utensil, the amount and type of food and the amount of liquid in the utensil. Following are some basic rules for selecting flame height. For safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond the Fig. 05 bottom of the cooking utensil. Never allow flames to curl up the side of the pan (see Fig. 05). This will discolor or damage the utensil. Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be used with medium to low flame. If you are cooking with a large amount of liquid, a slightly larger flame can be used. Broiler: The broiler flame should be approximately 1/8" thick and blue (Fig.06)s. This is set at the factory for correct performance. SCREEN SHOULD Screen should BE GLOWING RED be glowing red COOKTOP BURNERS FLAME SHOULD BE be Flame should APPROXIMATELY 1/8" approximately 1/8" THICK AND BLUE thick and blue Sealed cooktop burners The sealed cooktop burners must be kept clean. Cleaning of the Fig. 06 cooktop burners should include the igniter. The cooktop burners have an infinite number of heat settings and there are no fixed positions on the control knobs between "HI" and "LO". To turn the cooktop burner on, push in on 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. (The clicking sound should stop as soon as the burner is lit). WARNING! When turning on any cooktop 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 could be a burst of flame when the burner does light. 11 COOKTOP USE BURNER GRATES The burner grates are heavy cast iron. They have a flat surface making it easy to move large pans from one burner to another. They were designed in sections to make them easier to remove and clean. (See Fig. 07) COOKWARE For best results we recommend using professional cookware. This type of utensil can be found at your finer department stores, specialty cooking shops, or restaurant supply stores. If using regular cookware, be very careful if the pans have plastic handles, as these large professional size burners can flame up on the outside of the pan and melt or bubble the handles. Fig. 07 CONTROL KNOBS The control knobs are readily associated with the burners they control. The cooktop control knobs are labeled and are in front of the burners. The oven control is placed slightly lower than the other control knobs. This is due to the physical size of the commercial type thermostats used on the product (see Fig. 08). Fig. 08 WOK RING (Purchase separately) A Wok ring is available as an accessory for your new DCS appliance. To purchase a wok ring accessory (model # WRS) for use on your range or cooktop please contact an authorized DCS Dealer. The ring is cast iron, and has a porcelain enamel finish. It can be used with the DCS model CW wok and most commercially available woks. To use the ring, place it on the grate over the desired burner. The vertical tabs on the ring should be aligned with the main fingers of the grate. The small protrusions on the bottom surface of the ring should straddle the grate fingers to prevent the ring from rotating during cooking. See Fig. 09. The bottom of the wok should be supported and retained by the vertical tabs of the ring. For best performance, the ring and wok should be used on the burners that are in positions 1, 3, 4 (see page 10) as they have the highest output on the top section. To clean the wok ring, place it in the dishwasher after use. Stubborn food deposits may be removed by soaking to loosen the soil, then washing as usual. Fig. 09 12 OVEN USE OVEN BURNERS Your new professional RGTC range is equipped with bake and broil oven gas burners. The oven broiler burner is 15,000 Btu/hr and the oven baking burner is 28,000 Btu/hr. ELECTRIC GLOW IGNITER The oven bake and broil burners are equipped with an electric glow igniter and safety valve system which lights the gas. There will be a delay of 30 to 90 seconds after the control knob has been turned on before you actually hear the burner come on. The burner will ignite within 4 seconds after the gas reaches the burner. OVEN Your large new oven can be used in four cooking modes: convection bake, traditional bake, convection broil or regular broil. To help you decide which way to cook your food, read this information first. Remember, this is a new oven and the thermostat has been checked for accuracy. Your old oven may have had a thermostat that over the years got a little hot or a little cold. Check your recipes 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. OVEN RACKS The oven has (3) racks and 4 roller rack positions. NOTE: About the roller assisted rack supports : Specifically engineered from high temperature materials for in oven use, they will stand up to years of use. They are especially functional when the oven racks are supporting the heavy food products associated with this high capacity oven. The racks should be removed before self-cleaning. See page 25 for care of the rack supports. The oven comes with a 2-pc. porcelainized broil pan. PREHEATING Preheating takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the temperature set. Preheating is usually necessary for foods baked at high temperature for a short period of time, i.e. drop cookies. The oven heating light will turn "OFF" and the ready light will be "ON" when the oven has reached temperature. CONDENSATION 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. CAUTION! Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven racks or to line the oven bottom. The trapped heat can damage the porcelain and the heated air cannot adequately reach the food being baked. CONVECTION BAKING Convection Baking 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 temperatures or in less time, if baked at the regular temperature. The air is recirculated and reheated. Uncovered, 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 savings in cooking time. Using multiple racks (3) 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 Appetizers Breads Oven Meals (1 to 3 racks) Cookies Main Dishes Roasts Pies Poultry Air Leavened Foods (Angel Food Cake, soufflés, cream puffs, meringue shells) 13 OVEN USE Setting the Oven The Convection Bake mode is used for baking, roasting or warming using one, two or three racks. To use Convection Bake, push the Convection Bake button (located on the control panel) and turn the control knob to the temperature desired. Converting Recipes to Convection Baking Low sided baking utensils will give the best results as the hot air can reach all sides of the food easier. The oven temperature can be left the same as the recipe calls for and the food will be cooked in a shorter period of time. The temperature can be lowered 25ºF and the food will probably take the same length of time to cook as the recipe states. If you find that food is adequately browned on the outside, but not done in the center, lower the temperature another 25ºF and add to the baking time. When reducing the temperature always check the food for doneness, a minute to 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 Baking 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 the shape as they all affect the baking time, the palatability and the appearance of the finished product. Metal bakeware (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. When baking pies and breads for the best browning, use a pan with a dark or dull finish that absorbs heat. A shiny finish works best for cakes and cookies, since it reflects some of the heat and provides a more tender 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 the 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. two or three small foods do better than one large piece. When single food items are baked, always center the food on the rack. If several foods are being baked, space them evenly on the rack or racks. To Get the Best Results Follow the 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 25ºF. Use a minute timer and set for less than the 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. Be sure to read the basic information on convection before using the oven for the first time (see page 13). Keep in mind that convection baking results vary, depending on type of product. In many cases, standard bake yields superior results over convection. Convection Baking Rack Position One to three 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 baking. When baking on more than one rack, you do not need to stagger the pans. However, allow at least 1-inch of space between the oven walls and the pans so the heated air can circulate. 14 OVEN USE TRADITIONAL BAKING Traditional Bake is used for baking, roasting or warming with hot air; there is no 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. Setting the Oven for Baking To use Bake, push the Bake button (located on the Control Panel) and turn the oven control knob to the temperature desired. The "OVEN ON" light turns on. The "HEATING" light turns on. Once the "HEATING" light cycles off the first time, the oven "READY" light will come "ON" when the oven is preheated. As the oven cools, the "READY" light will go out and the "HEATING" light will come back on. This process repeats when heat is needed. The "OVEN ON" light remains on until the "OFF" Selector button has been pushed, or the Thermostat has been turned to the "OFF" position. Foods Suitable for Bake Appetizers Pies, Cakes Desserts Main Dishes To get the best results Follow the recipe amounts and ingredients, including the size and shape of the baking utensil recommended in Breads Poultry Oven Meals (1 to 2 racks) Roasts the recipe. Do not open the 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, the baking time, the browning and end result. If you are using glass utensils, lower the temperature 25ºF. Use a minute timer and set for the minimum time suggested in the recipe. Baking Rack Position 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 you are using large baking utensils. If you are using two racks simultaneously, be sure to stagger the baking utensils so that one is not directly above the other and the heated air can circulate freely around each pan. Allow at least 1" 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 rack as the heat does not have the room to circulate. CAUTION! Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven racks or to line the oven bottom. The trapped heat can damage the porcelain and the heated air cannot adequately reach the food being baked. 15 OVEN USE BROIL AND CONVECTION BROIL Broiling is cooking by intense infrared radiation supplied by the broil burner located at the top of the oven. Place the broil pan in the center of the rack for best results. Convection Broil is a movement of hot air, sealing all the juices in the meat being broiled. This method keeps the meat moist inside with a crisp exterior. Place meat on a 2-piece broiler pan. Air will circulate around the meat. To Set the Oven for Broil and Convection 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. Fig. 10 Decide if you are going to use BROIL or CONVECTION BROIL. If you are going to use regular broil, push the BROIL button (located on the Control Panel) and turn the Oven Control knob to "BROIL". When the BROIL button is pressed you will hear a cooling fan begin to operate and feel an air current above the oven door. This air current serves to keep the control area above the oven cooler during open door broiling. The cooling fan must be running for the broiler to operate. To use CONVECTION BROIL, push the CONV BROIL button (located on the Control Panel) and turn the Oven Control knob to "BROIL". 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 infrared burner produces such an intense heat that the burner will cycle on and off to maintain an efficient yet safe interior cooking environment. This cycling process is indicated by the turning on and off of the HEATING and READY indicator lights on the valve panel. All broiling must be done with the oven door closed. This will insure the best in cooking performance while maintaining a cool exterior surface for comfortable use. When checking the doneness of food while broiling, leave the door open only long enough to check temperature or determine degree of doneness. Close door immediately after checking the food. Foods Suitable for Broil Top Browning: Casseroles, Breads Appetizers Meats Poultry Fish Preheating The broiler does not need to be preheated for most broiling. To increase browning or for very thin food, preheat the broiler 5 to 8 minutes. Using a Meat Thermometer to Broil To accurately determine the doneness of a thick steak or chop (1-1/2 inches thick or more), use a meat thermometer. Insert the point of the thermometer into the side of the meat to the center. Cook the first side to 90ºF for rare meat. Cook the first side to 100ºF for medium to well done. Cook the second side to the desired degree for the doneness you want, 140ºF to 145ºF for rare, and 150ºF to 155ºF for medium and 160ºF to 165ºF for well done. If you are cooking pork, cook to 160ºF. 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 infrared broiler burner. This helps to minimize the smoking and spattering of the grease. NOTE: When the oven is used for an extended period of time at a high temperature, the cooling blower may turn on. This is normal. The cooling blower will also operate during Broil and the Self-Cleaning cycle. If the blower is not running during these modes, do not use the oven. Call a qualified appliance technician to repair the unit. Broiling Rack Position The rack position depends on the type and thickness of the food. Thick pieces of meat or poultry would typically be broiled on rack position 2 or 3. Steaks, chops and hamburger would be broiled on rack position 4 16 OVEN USE (top rack) for thinner pieces and position 3 for thicker ones. If top browning casseroles or bread the thickness of the food would indicate the rack position. Casseroles would typically be browned on rack position 2 or 3 and bread on rack position 3. To Get the Best Results Defrost the food before starting to cook. Set a minute timer for the minimum time to check the food. Steaks should be at least one inch thick if a rare doneness is desired. It is difficult to get rare with meat that is thinner, or to get a nice brown piece of meat. After half the total cooking time, turn the food over only once. It is not necessary to turn over thin foods (filet of fish, ham slices, etc.) Liver slices must be turned over. When top browning, use metal or glass-ceramic bakeware. DO NOT use heat-proof glass or pottery as this type of glassware cannot withstand the intense heat of the broiler burner. 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. The broiler pan should be placed all the way to the back of the oven and centered on the oven rack. All broiling must be done with the oven door closed. This will insure the best in cooking performance while maintaining a cool exterior surface for comfortable use. When checking the doneness of food while broiling, leave the door open only long enough to check temperature or determine degree of doneness. Close door immediately after checking the food. USING THE OVEN FOR SLOW COOKING OR LOW TEMPERATURES 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 on page 19. Rare meat must be eaten when it is removed from the oven, as it continues cooking from its own heat. To keep food moist, it must be covered with aluminum foil or a lid. To dehydrate food, follow suggestions in a recipe. To warm plates, check with the dishware manufacturer for the recommended temperature. To use the oven as a slow cooker, set the oven control knob to 225ºF, place the food in the oven in a pan with a tight fitting lid. Follow recipes for this type 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 to handle it. Cook immediately. Do not refreeze. To thaw frozen cooked food, set the oven control knob to 170ºF. Loosen the freezer wrapping. Do not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven. FOOD SAFETY! According to the United States Department of Agriculture you should not hold foods at temperatures between 40ºF to 140ºF for longer than 2 hours. HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING Recipes and baking times vary if you are baking at a 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 (convection bake or bake) you need, i.e. cakes, cookies, breads, etc. There may be a cost for the bulletins. 17 OVEN USE INTERNAL COOKING TEMPERATURES Food Egg and Egg Dishes Eggs Egg Casseroles Egg Sauces, Custards Oven Temperature Cook until yolk and white are firm 160º F 160º F Food Poultry Chicken, Turkey-whole Oven Temperature 180°F 180°F 170°F 180°F 165°F Chicken, Turkey-dark meat Poultry-breast Duck and Goose Ground Meat and Meat Mixtures Turkey, Chicken Beef, Veal, Lamb, Pork Fresh Beef, Veal, Lamb Medium Rare Medium Well Done Fresh Pork Medium Well Done Roast Beef Cooked commercially, vacuum sealed, and ready-to-eat 165°F 160°F 145°F 160°F 170°F 160°F 170°F 140°F Stuffing Cooked alone or in bird Sauces, Soups, Gravies, Marinades Used with raw meat, poultry, or fish Seafood Fin Fish Bring to a boil Cook until opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

When set in the CLEAN mode, the oven reaches a high temperature that burns off the food soil. When the oven is set for CLEAN, only the cooktop burners may be used. It is common to see smoke and/or flames during the CLEAN cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe up the excessive food soil. At the end of the CLEAN cycle, some gray ash or burned residue may remain inside the oven. This is a mineral deposit that does not burn or melt. The amount of ash depends on how heavily soiled the oven was before the oven was cleaned. It is easily removed, once the oven has cooled, using a damp paper towel, sponge, or cloth. Wipe off any smoke residue that remains on the front frame with Formula 409® or Fantastik®. If stain remains, use a mild liquid cleanser. The amount of smoke stain is directly related to the amount of food soil left in the oven at the time of self-cleaning. Clean the oven often. OVEN DOOR LOCK DURING SELF-CLEAN When the clean cycle starts, the lock light turns on, and the automatic door lock cycle begins. Do Not attempt to open the door when the lock light is on. You can stop the cycle by pushing the "OFF" button. The lock light will turn off only after the oven has cooled below 550ºF, and the automatic door lock has completed its cycle to the open position. BEFORE SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN: Remove all utensils and racks. Clean the oven front frame and outer door edges. (see Fig. 11) Be sure the light bulbs and glass covers are in place. (see page 7- item #5) Turn on the ventilator hood above the range (if one is installed) and leave it on until after the oven has completed the self-clean cycle. Remove oven racks. Wipe out puddles of grease, large spillovers, and any loose soil that can be easily removed. Remove any soil that is outside the door seal area with soft scrub or SOS pad filled with soap. This appliance is designed to clean the oven interior and that portion of the door that is inside the oven. The outer edges of the door and the oven cavity are not in the cleaning zone. Wipe this area clean BEFORE SETTING THE OVEN TO SELF-CLEAN. FRONT FRAME OUTER DOOR EDGES Fig. 11 If the gasket has food soil on it, remove the soil with warm water and sponge. Do not use any soap or cleaners on the gasket. Gasket needs to be soft to work properly. If gasket is hard, replace with a new one. 20 OVEN SELF-CLEANING SETTING THE OVEN FOR SELF-CLEAN 1. Push the "CLEAN" Selector Button. 2. Set Oven Control Knob to "CLEAN". Cooling Blower turns on OVEN ON light and HEATING light turn on LOCK light turns on The door closing process takes approximately 60 seconds to complete, at which time the door becomes locked. Fig.12 AT THE END OF THE CLEAN CYCLE: The Clean cycle takes 5 hours to complete. The OVEN ON light turns off once the cycle has finished. 1. Push the OFF Selector Button. The door latch will open automatically after the oven temperature falls below 550ºF and the automatic Door Lock completes its 60 sec. cycle to the OPEN position. 2. Turn the Oven Control Knob to OFF (after the oven has cooled). Wipe off white ash residue with a damp cloth or sponge before replacing oven racks. 3. Replace the oven racks. WARNING! The interior of the oven will still be at baking temperatures when the lock light turns off and the oven door can be opened. Use caution as the Oven may be hot enough to cause burns. 21 CARE AND MAINTENANCE WHEN CLEANING THE RANGE OR COOKTOP: WARNING! Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance while hot. All parts of the appliance can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed to a shine with a soft, heavy pile cloth. Always try this first, as it is the mildest cleaning procedure. 1. Use the mildest cleaning procedure first. Some brands of cleaners of the same type are harsher than others, read their directions. A scent or a propellant can make a difference in the product, read the ingredients. Try on a small area first. 2. To avoid marring the surface always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish (grain) lines. The cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines. 3. Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels, plastic non-metal for cleaning or scouring as recommended in this section. (Use only soap pads with soap still in them. An empty pad can scratch.) 4. Be sure to rinse all parts thoroughly and to wipe dry to avoid water marks. BRAND NAME CLEANERS In this section on cleaning, the use of name brands is intended only to indicate a type of cleaner. This does not constitute an endorsement. The omission of any name brand cleaner does not imply its adequacy or inadequacy. Many products are regional in distribution and can be found in local markets and department stores. COOKTOP Turn off all the burners and allow the grates to cool before starting to clean the cooktop. If you wipe off any part of the cooktop while it is hot, do so carefully as using a wet sponge or cloth can result in steam burns. BURNER GRATES When lifting the grates be careful as they are heavy. Place them on a protected surface, so they won't scratch the surface they are laid on. The burner grates are matte porcelain enamel over cast iron. When cool, they may be placed in the dishwasher, or wiped clean while on the cooktop using hot soapy water, then rinsed and wiped dry. The burner grates will not rust as they are matte porcelain enamel on both sides for durability. The occasional use of mild abrasive cleansers such as Fantastik®, Simple Green® or Formula 409® is okay. Abrasive cleansers, used vigorously or too often, can eventually harm the enamel. Apply with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. The porcelain may pop off the edge of the grates due to rapid temperature change when the burners are turned on. Do not be concerned as this does not result in the deterioration of the grates. The cast iron soon darkens to blend with the porcelain enamel. Be careful when wiping an area where the porcelain has popped off, as the edges may be sharp. CLEANING THE OVEN Refer to page 20 for instructions for use of self-clean feature. 22 CARE AND MAINTENANCE BURNERS For proper lighting and performance keep the burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do not light even though the igniter clicks, if there has BRASS RING been a severe boil over, or when the flame does not LOCATING PIN burn blue. Be certain all burner knobs are in the OFF position before attempting to clean the burners. The burners have been designed for ease in cleaning. When the grates and burners are cool, remove the grate. The burner cap and the brass port ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The burner caps are porcelain enamel. Follow the directions on the LOCATING previous page that were given for the burner grates. NOTCH A bristle brush can be used to clean out the toothed burner ports, if necessary. Disassembly of the simmer ring is not recommended, however, it may become necessary to do so if the ports remain clogged after ELECTRODE normal cleaning. If it is necessary to disassemble the simmer ring from the base, remove the hex nut at the top of the simmer ring. Clean the simmer ring with LOCATING PIN hot soapy water using a soft wire or plastic bristle HOLE INSIDE brush, then dry thoroughly. Re-assemble the parts using the hex nut. After cleaning, it is important to Fig. 13 make sure the locating pin on the bottom side of the simmer ring is properly aligned with the corresponding hole in the base and that the two locating pins (see insert-Fig.13) on the bottom side of the brass port ring are properly aligned with the locating notch and center holes on the top side of the simmer ring. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance. CAP MAIN BURNER PORT RING LOCATING PIN HEX NUT SIMMER RING LOCATING BURNER BASE VENTURI IGNITER (KEEP CLEAN) IGNITERS Wipe with a rubbing alcohol dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to damage the igniter (see Fig. 14). SUMP AREA AROUND BURNERS AND IGNITERS Remove grates. With a warm wet sponge, apply a soap that will release grease (like Dawn). Clean up soiled area around the sump. Fig. 14 FOR HARD TO CLEAN SOIL, USE THIS METHOD: If residue is still left, make a paper collar around the burner and igniter and tape it together (Fig. 15). Spray "Easy Off" or "SOS" oven spray using the cool method on soiled area. Cover it with a paper towel and leave it on the area at least 4 hours or overnight (Fig. 16). With a warm moist sponge, remove the oven spray and soil. Dry with a soft cloth. TAPE CONTROL KNOBS - OVEN AND COOKTOP Fig. 15 Fig. 16 These are die-cast metal with plastic grips and can be cleaned in hot, soapy water. To remove the knobs from the control panel, grasp the knob and pull straight towards you and away from the range. Wash, do not soak. Rinse and dry thoroughly. It is important to replace these knobs on the correct gas valve on the control panel. The cooktop has a setting for "Simmer". The oven control knob has temperatures on them and a "Broil" setting. 23 CARE AND MAINTENANCE BACKGUARD (if installed) This is made of stainless steel. Use the mildest cleaning procedure first ­ hot soapy water, rinse and dry. If the panel has food soil remaining, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green® or Formula 409®. Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain. Do not use a steel wool pad, it will scratch the surface. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper, rubbing in the direction of the grain. After cleaning use a stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®. If the rear top burners are used extensively on high it is possible for the vertical stainless steel panel to discolor from the burner heat. This discoloration can be removed by using Revere Ware Stainless Steel Cleaner. OVEN DOOR REMOVAL WARNING! Do not lift oven door by the handle - will cause damage! Be sure the oven and door are cool before you begin to remove the door! 1. Open the door all the way open (Fig. 20). 2. Unlock the door hinges by rotating the lock forward (Fig. 21). 3. Once both hinges are unlocked, gently begin to close the door until approximately halfway closed. Grabbing the sides of the door and gently lifting up and slightly forward, the door will unlatch from the hinge. 4. Continue to lift and pull the door away from the range.

The oven rollers are stainless steel. Chrome cleaners, such as Soft Scrub®, Cameo or Bar Keepers Friend can be applied with a damp sponge following package directions. Rinse and dry. Powdered cleaners such as Bon-Ami® or Comet are applied with a damp sponge or cloth, rubbed lightly, rinsed and dried. For hard to remove food soil use a dampened soap filled steel wool pad, rinsed and dried. Harsh cleaners which are commercial oven cleaners, such as Easy Off® or Dow can be used on the racks, but are not recommended for use on the self-cleaning oven rack rollers or oven interiors. However, some commercial oven cleaners cause darkening and discoloration. Test the cleaner on a small part of the rack and check for any discoloration before cleaning the entire rack. Apply a generous coating. Allow to stand for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and dry. After being cleaned, if the racks in the main oven do not slide easily, pour a small amount of cooking oil on a paper towel and rub it lightly over the side rails and rollers. Spray rollers with "Pam" if racks get hard to move. FRAME, SIDES, DOOR EXTERIOR, HEAT DEFLECTOR These parts are made of stainless steel, follow the directions for the Backguard. Take care when cleaning the door top, and do not let water or cleaners run down the vents. If water or cleaners spill into the vents, they may streak the glass inside the door. DOOR GASKET Clean with hot water only. Do not rub. Press a dry towel on the gasket to dry. Do not remove or damage the mesh. OVEN LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT For oven light bulb replacement use only a 40 watt, 120 volt appliance light bulb. These are available in supermarkets. DO NOT use a standard light bulb in any oven, the heat will break it. To Replace the Light Bulb 1. Be sure the oven light bulb switch is in the off position or turn off circuit breaker. The bottom of the switch is pressed in. Let the cover and the bulb cool completely. 2. Remove the light cover. Turn the cover to the left (counterclockwise) to unscrew it. 3. Remove the burnt out bulb. Replace it with a 40 watt appliance light bulb only. 4. Replace cover. Turn circuit breaker back on, if turned off. (See Warning below). WARNING! Be sure the oven light switch is in the OFF position and the cover is cool. If the bulb comes loose from the base, turn off the power to the oven at the circuit breaker panel before attempting to remove the bulb base from the socket. POWER FAILURE To light the cooktop burners, turn the control knob to "LITE", hold a lighted match to the port ring. After the flame is burning all the way around the burner, adjust the flame. It is necessary to light each burner separately, each time you want to use it. Make sure knobs are in the "OFF" position should power be restored and you are aways from the unit. Do not leave the burner unattended. The burner will not relight if blown out. 25 TROUBLESHOOTING RANGES & COOKTOPS PROBLEM NON FUNCTIONAL POSSIBLE CAUSE NO ELECTRICITY OR GAS SUPPLY TECHNICAL NO ELECTRICITY NO GAS WRONG GAS ONE OR MORE BURNERS WILL NOT LIGHT DIRTY BURNERS BURNERS MIS-ALIGNED WATER IN BURNER(S) DIRTY ELECTRODE TECHNICAL INCORRECT FLAME SOOTY BURNER FLAME TOO LARGE OR SMALL MIS-ALIGNED BURNER ASSY SOLUTION TURN ON GAS SUPPLY VALVE CHECK CIRCUIT BREAKERS CALL AUTHORIZED SERVICE CHECK CIRCUIT BREAKERS CHECK GAS SUPPLY AT WALL VERIFY GAS TYPE (SEE PAGE 27 FOR LOCATION OF LABEL CLEAN BURNERS ALIGN & REASSEMBLE BURNERS DIS-ASSEMBLE & DRY BURNER(S) CLEAN BURNER ELECTRODE CALL AUTHORIZED SERVICE VERIFY GAS TYPE (SEE LABEL ON BACK) REALIGN AND RE-ASSEMBLE BURNER ASSY (PAGE 23) RANGE OVENS PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE NO ELECTRICITY NO OVEN LIGHT LOOSE BULB BURNED OUT BULB NO GAS NO ELECTRICITY (CHECK OVEN LIGHT) NO OVEN HEAT (BAKE) IMPROPER SETTINGS TECHNICAL NO OVEN BROIL IMPROPER SETTINGS (SEE NO BAKE) TECHNICAL INSUFFICIENT PRE-HEAT TIME IMPROPER SETTINGS UNEVEN BAKING IMPROPER UTENSILS/PLACEMENT TECHNICAL NO CONVECTION CONVECTION NOISY NO CONVECTION PAN TECHNICAL SOLUTION CHECK CIRCUIT BREAKERS CHECK PLUG AT WALL BE SURE BULB IS SECURE IN SOCKET REPLACE BULB CHECK FOR PROPER TOP BURNER OPERATION CHECK CIRCUIT BREAKERS CHECK PLUG VERIFY PROPER SETTINGS ON KNOB & SELECTOR BUTTONS (IF APPLICABLE) CALL AUTHORIZED SERVICE VERIFY PROPER SETTINGS CALL AUTHORIZED SERVICE ALLOW OVEN TO PREHEAT BEFORE BAKING VERIFY PROPER SETTINGS ON KNOB & SELECTOR BUTTONS (IF APPLICABLE) USE PROPER UTENSILS & PLACE THEM PROPERLY (SEE USE & CARE) CALL AUTHORIZED SERVICE CHECK FOR AIR MOVEMENT CALL AUTHORIZED SERVICE 26 HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE Is the circuit breaker tripped or the fuse blown?

Faites extrêmement attention quand vous utilisez cet appareil de niveau professionnel, car il dégage une chaleur intense et peut augmenter les risques d'accidents. Vous devez respecter des consignes de sécurité élémentaires durant l'utilisation d'appareils de cuisine, dont celles-ci : Veuillez lire attentivement ce manuel d'utilisation et d'entretien avant d'utiliser votre nouvel appareil. Ceci vous permettra de réduire les risques d'incendie, de choc électrique ou de blessures. Commencez par vous assurer que l'installation et l'entretien sont effectués correctement. Suivez les instructions d'installation fournies avec cet appareil. Avant d'utiliser l'appareil, confiez son installation et sa mise à la terre à un technicien qualifié. Demandez-lui de vous montrer l'emplacement du robinet d'arrêt de l'alimentation de gaz afin de savoir comment couper l'arrivée de gaz. Si vous sentez une odeur de gaz, cela signifie que l'installateur n'a pas vérifié correctement s'il y avait des fuites. Si les connexions ne sont pas complètement étanches, une petite fuite pourrait se produire et laisser s'échapper une faible odeur de gaz. La détection des fuites n'est pas une procédure à faire soi-même. Certaines fuites ne peuvent être détectées que si la commande du brûleur est sur ON. Dans l'intérêt de votre sécurité, confiez cette procédure à un technicien qualifié. Si jamais un brûleur s'éteint et laisse s'échapper du gaz, ouvrez la fenêtre ou la porte pour évacuer l'air. N'essayez pas d'utiliser l'appareil avant que le gaz ne se soit complètement dissipé. Suivez les instructions de la page 1, « Pour votre sécurité - Si vous sentez une odeur de gaz ». Cet appareil électroménager a été monté en usine pour être utilisé avec du gaz naturel ou propane. Il doit être réglé correctement en usine selon le type de gaz utilisé. Ne réparez pas ni ne remplacez aucune pièce de cet appareil, sauf indication contraire du manuel. Tout autre travail d'entretien doit être confié à un technicien qualifié. Les enfants ne doivent pas être laissés seuls ou sans surveillance dans un endroit où l'on utilise des appareils électroménagers. Il ne faut jamais les laisser tourner ou enfoncer des boutons, ni s'asseoir ou se tenir debout sur ces appareil ou les toucher lorsqu'ils sont en marche. Des enfants en marchette ou à quatre pattes peuvent être attirés par la poignée ronde de la porte et la saisir pour ouvrir la porte du four. Ils pourraient alors se blesser si la porte est ouverte ou se brûler sérieusement si le four fonctionne et qu'il est chaud. AVERTISSEMENT! évitez de ranger sur les appareils ou à l'arrière des articles pouvant attirer les enfants. Les enfants peuvent être blessés sérieusement s'ils grimpent sur l'appareil pour atteindre ces articles. Ne rangez jamais rien dans le four ni sur la table de cuisson. Des matériaux inflammables pourraient prendre feu, des éléments en plastique pourraient fondre ou s'enflammer et d'autres types d'objets pourraient être détruits. Ne suspendez aucun article sur l'appareil et ne placez aucun objet contre le four. Certains matériaux sont très inflammables et pourraient prendre feu. Si l'appareil se trouve près d'une fenêtre, assurez-vous que les rideaux sont suffisamment éloignés des brûleurs de la table de cuisson; ils pourraient prendre feu sinon. Ne versez pas d'eau sur les feux de graisse. ÉTEIGNEZ tous les brûleurs, puis étouffez le feu avec du bicarbonate de soude ou à l'aide d'un extincteur à poudre ou à mousse. Ne laissez jamais des vêtements, gants ou autres matériaux inflammables en contact ou à proximité d'un brûleur ou d'une grille de brûleur tant que ces derniers n'ont pas refroidi. Les tissus peuvent s'enflammer et causer des blessures. Utilisez seulement des gants isolants secs : les gants humides sur des surfaces chaudes peuvent provoquer des brûlures causées par la vapeur. N'utilisez pas de serviette ou de linge épais à la place de gants isolants. Ne laissez pas les gants isolants toucher les brûleurs ou leurs grilles. Pour assurer votre propre sécurité, habillez-vous de façon appropriée. Ne portez jamais de vêtements ou de manches lâches lorsque vous utilisez l'appareil. Certains tissus synthétiques sont extrêmement inflammables et ne doivent pas être portés pendant la cuisson. 3 MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ ET DE PRÉCAUTION Ne recouvrez aucune partie du four ou de la table de cuisson avec du papier aluminium. C'est un isolant thermique qui peut emprisonner la chaleur, laquelle peut alors affecter la performance de la table de cuisson et endommager la finition du four ou des pièces de la table de cuisson. Ne recouvrez les fentes, trous ou passages situés au bas du four et évitez de recouvrir entièrement une grille avec des matériaux tel que le papier d'aluminium. Cela a pour effet de bloquer la circulation d'air à l'intérieur du four et peut causer un empoisonnement à l'oxyde de carbone. Le papier d'aluminium peut également emprisonner la chaleur et causer ainsi un risque d'incendi. AVERTISSEMENT! JAMAIS Cet appareil électroménager est destiné à la cuisson. N'utilisez jamais le four ou la table de cuisson pour réchauffer ou chauffer une pièce. Une telle utilisation peut endommager les pièces de la table de cuisson ou du four. N'utilisez cet appareil comme appareil de chauffage pour chauffer la pièce. Cela pourrait entraîner un empoisonnement à l'oxyde de carbone et une surchauffe du four. AVERTISSEMENT! JAMAIS Durant l'utilisation de la table de cuisson : ne touchez pas les grilles des brûleurs ou les surfaces adjacentes. Ces surfaces peuvent devenir suffisamment chaudes pour provoquer des brûlures. Durant l'utilisation du four, évitez de toucher les surfaces intérieures du four, la surface extérieure autour de la porte et la garniture arrière. Les surfaces situées directement au-dessus de la porte du four peuvent être chaudes si le four a fonctionné avec la porte ouverte ou si quelque chose a empêché la porte de se fermer. Ne laissez jamais la table de cuisson sans surveillance lorsque vous cuisinez à flamme haute. Un débordement par bouillonnement pourrait produire de la fumée et un déversement graisseux qui pourrait prendre feu. Et, ce qui est plus grave, si les flammes des brûleurs sont étouffées par un débordement important affectant l'allumeur, le gaz non brûlé s'échappera dans la pièce. Seuls certains types d'ustensiles en verre, vitrocéramique calorifugée, céramique, poterie ou émaillés sont appropriés pour être utilisés sur la table de cuisson. Ce genre d'ustensile peut se briser à la suite de changements de température soudains. Utilisez-les seulement à feu doux ou moyen selon les instructions du fabricant. Il est recommandé d'utiliser des ustensiles de cuisine professionnels. Ne chauffez pas de contenant de nourriture fermé car la pression pourrait s'accumuler et le faire exploser. Durant la cuisson, réglez la commande du brûleur de sorte que la flamme ne chauffe que le fond du récipient et ne le dépasse jamais. Cela pourrait sinon chauffer ou faire fondre les poignées. Servez-vous toujours d'ustensiles à fond plat suffisamment larges pour couvrir les brûleurs. L'utilisation d'ustensiles trop petits risque d'offrir un contact direct à la flamme et de mettre le feu aux vêtements. Afin de réduire le risque de brûlures, d'allumage de matériaux inflammables et de déversement involontaire, tournez les poignées des ustensiles vers l'intérieur afin qu'elles ne surplombent pas les surfaces de travail adjacentes, les zones de cuisson et le bord extérieur de la table de cuisson. Tenez la poignée du récipient afin d'empêcher tout mouvement de l'ustensile lorsque vous retournez ou remuez la nourriture. La graisse est inflammable. Laissez toute graisse chaude refroidir avant d'essayer de la manipuler. Évitez de laisser la graisse s'accumuler autour des brûleurs de la table de cuisson. Nettoyez après chaque utilisation ou déversement. Pour assurer un bon allumage et une bonne performance des brûleurs de la table de cuisson, gardez leurs ports dans un état propre. Il peut s'avérer nécessaire de nettoyer ceux-ci en cas de débordement ou lorsque le brûleur ne s'allume pas, même si les allumeurs électroniques cliquent. Nettoyez la table de cuisson avec précaution. Évitez de vous brûler à la vapeur : n'utilisez pas d'éponge ou de linge mouillé pour nettoyer l'appareil alors qu'il est encore chaud. Certains produits de nettoyage dégagent des vapeurs nocives au contact d'une surface chaude. Respectez le mode d'emploi du fabricant du produit de nettoyage.
