Instructions For Ranges and Oven Surfaces
Exterior
BlackBakedEnamel
Allow equipment to cool after use and wash all grease
deposits from exterior with a hot mild detergent or soap
solution. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasives.
BrushedChromeorBrushedNickel
Wash when cool with hot mild detergent or soap solution.
Do not use abrasives.
StainlessSteel
Normal soil may be removed with a detergent or soap
solution applied with a cloth. To remove grease that has
baked on, apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge. Rub
cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines
of the metal. Never rub in a circular motion. Soil and burnt
deposits, which do not respond, can usually be removed
by rubbing the surface with Scotch-Brite scouring pads or
stainless scouring pads. Do not use ordinary steel wool.
Heat tint can be removed by a vigorous scouring in the
direction of the polish lines using Scotch-Brite scouring pads
or a stainless scouring pad in combination with a powdered
cleanser.
Top Sections
Griddle Top
Seasoning
Before being used for the first time, all griddle surfaces must
be seasoned. Wash griddle with a hot detergent or soap
solution, rinse and dry thoroughly. Set griddle heat to lowest
possible temperature for 30 minutes. Apply a thin film of
cooking oil. Allow oil to remain on griddle 5 minutes then
wipe off. Reset heat to medium temperature and apply a
second film of oil. Wipe off excess after 5 minutes. Reset heat
to cooking temperature and apply a final film of oil wiping
off surplus after 3 minutes. The griddle is now seasoned and
ready for use. The griddle may be re-seasoned at any time by
cleaning thoroughly and following the seasoning procedure.
Cleaning
Griddle plates should be wiped daily while still warm.
Remove carbonized grease or food with a spatula. When
necessary, clean the griddle’s surface thoroughly using a
fine griddle brick or a liquid griddle cleaner (available from
your kitchen equipment dealer). Polish the griddle surface
to a bright finish. Wash the griddles surface, rinse and dry
thoroughly. Re-season the griddle.
OperatingSuggestions
• Avoid overheating the griddle as this causes sticking and
grease carbonizing resulting in a hard to clean surface.
• Do not hit the spatula on the griddle plate, as this will
nick the surface.
• Clean the grease tray often to eliminate spillovers
Hot Top or Boil Plate
Cleaning
Hot tops should be wiped while still warm. Remove burnt
materials with a spatula. When top is cool, wash the surface
with a mild detergent or soap. Dry thoroughly. Wipe with a
slightly oiled cloth.
OperatingSuggestions
• Do not leave the top “full on” when not in use as this
abuses the unit, causes heat tint, wastes fuel and heats up
the kitchen unnecessarily.
• Use cooking utensils with flat bottoms for maximum
efficiency.
Open Top
CastIronTops&Grates

arrive at the end users, the following seasoning and care is
recommended.
• Wash top grates with hot mild detergent or soap solution.
Dry thoroughly. Rub with vegetable oil on all exposed
surfaces in the direction of the grain.
