Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation of the electric ignition system on model 1956. If the wall receptacle does not provide correct polarity, the ignitor will become grounded and click occasionally, even after the burner is ignited. A qualified electrician should check the wall receptacle for correct polarity and grounding. This sparking condition will also occur if there is a breeze across the burners or when on low.

Warning: Do not touch ignitor when it is sparking.

OPTIONAL – WARMER DRAWER

WARMING DRAWER CONTROLS

Setting the Temperature

Turn the warmer thermostat knob to the desired setting. Temperatures can range from 80 degrees to 225 degrees.

WARNING: Food Poisoning Hazard! Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Moist-Dry Slide

The Moist-Dry slide allows you to open or close the vent slots in the door. The MOIST setting holds moisture in, while the DRY setting allows steam and moisture to escape from the drawer.

To keep foods moist, put slide on MOIST, closing the vents. Closing the vents will seal the drawer and keep hot food soft and moist.

To keeps foods crisp, put slide on DRY, opening the vents. Opening the vents releases moisture from the drawer and keeps hot food crisp and dry.

The warming drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at serving temperature. It may also be used for warming breads and pastries.

Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at the same time. For best results, do not hold food longer than one hour. For small quantities or heat-sensitive foods (such as eggs), do not hold longer than 30 minutes.

Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in the warming drawer. (Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated from room temperature on the HI setting.)

Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe container. Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not cover with plastic wrap. Empty serving dishes and dinner plates can be heated while the warming drawer is preheating.

Storage or Warmer Drawer

Removal Instructions

If the storage or warmer drawer is not removed or installed properly, ball bearing race could be damaged.

DO NOT REMOVE THE DRAWER UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

If removing drawer, pull it out to the stop.

Slide the black nylon tab on each side towards you.

Slowly pull the drawer straight out of the ball bearing track.

When reinstalling the drawer, extend the ball bearing track inside the stove fully towards you.

It works best with 2 people, one on each side of the drawer.

Slowly push drawer straight into the track until it is fully closed.

Drawer should now open and close freely.

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Proofing twice is recommended.

To Proof:

1.Cover dough with lighly oiled wax paper and place temperature safe bowl(s) directly on bottom of drawer.

2.Set control knob to 80°F

3.Place vent on MOIST setting.

4.Check dough periodically for proofing progress.

5.Verify doneness by pressing 2 fingers 1/2" (1.27 cm) into dough. If indentation remains, the dough is ready.

For second proofing of dough, follow steps 1-4.

Warming Tips

Do not line warming drawer with aluminum foil.

Keep food covered if it was cooked with a cover on it.
