PREHEATING
Oven
Turn thermostat control to the desired cooking temperature and preheat oven for 25 minutes. The automatic heat control will cut gas and food costs if properly used. Do not operate oven at maximum heat when it is not necessary. Turn thermostat down to 250°F or OFF when oven is not in use or during idle cooking periods.
Ranges (Open Top)
As these are quickly ignited, light only as many as needed.
Griddle Top Ranges
Heat top thoroughly before using. It can be kept hot with burners turned partly down. During off periods, turn burners down or keep only half of top heated.
Broiler/Griddle Section
Before cooking on griddle plate, grease well and light burners. With minimum burner flame, allow griddle to heat gradually. Do this the first three times the griddle is used. This will relieve stresses in the plate and ensure long life.
