Solid Hot Tops (STW286A)

Recommended where long term stock pot cooking is required for soups, sauces or stocks. Pots can be placed anywhere on the hot top. The maximum recommended stockpot size is 12” (305mm) in diameter.

The recommended pre-heat time is 30 minutes. This will thoroughly saturate the plate. Pots must have flat bottoms for maximum contact with the hot surface. Roasting pans with straps should never be used on a top since only the straps touch the surface and heat transfer will be minimal.

Lighting The Solid Hot Top

1.Push in the tap and turn it anti-clockwise to the ignition position “”.

2.Holding the tap fully in, depress the ignitor switch button and observe that the pilot lights. If it does not, depress the ignitor switch button until it does.

3.When the pilot is lit, continue to hold the tap for 20 seconds, then release it. If the pilot extinguishes or fails to hold, wait five (5) minutes and then repeat step 1.

4.When the pilot is established, push the tap in again and turn it anti-clockwise to the full flame position “” thus lighting the main burner.

5.For low flame or simmer, push the tap in again and turn it anti-clockwise to the low flame “” position.

6. To shut the burner off, turn the dial to the “ ” position and the safety device will disengage within 60 seconds.

Oven

The temperature is automatically controlled by the thermostat so that satisfactory cooking can be repeated. For the best performance the following instructions should be followed.

GRID SHELVES – There are three shelf positions. The shelf position is governed by the size of the product to be cooked. Always push the shelf back into the oven until it stops by making contact with the rear of the oven.

TRAY SIZE – A cake tray may be used on each shelf. Single trays or dishes must not be allowed to overhang the shelf in any direction, since this will adversely affect the heat circulation.

PREHEAT TIME – Allow at least 45 minutes after turning the oven on from cold, with the thermostat at the desired temperature before loading the oven with food to be cooked. Put the food in quickly and close the oven door.

Convection Oven

The forced air range oven consists of a food preparation chamber completely sealed from the combustion area. This permits an efficient method of circulating the heated air within the cooking chamber.

Lighting the Oven

NOTE:  Ensure that the gas and electrical supply to the appliance are turned “ON”. During the initial ignition cycle, air must be purged from the gas line and thus it may take two to three tries for ignition to occur.

1Turn the power switch to the “ON” position and the Cook/ cool switch to the “COOK” position.

2Set the thermostat to the desired position.
