PREHEATING

Oven

Turn thermostat control to the desired cooking temperature and preheat oven for 25 minutes. To save on gas consumption, do not operate oven at maximum heat when it is not necessary. Turn thermostat down to 250°F (121°C) or OFF when oven is not in use or during idle cooking periods.

Hot Top Burners

Turn burner ON to highest heat to heat hot top section quickly. Hot top will be ready to cook on in about 10 minutes. After top section has reached operation temperature, turn some of the burners down. You will save as much as 80% of gas consumption and notice very little difference in cooking performance as long as you have allowed the entire hot top section to preheat properly.

Open Top Burners

Open top burners ignite quickly and do not require any preheating time. When food comes to a rolling boil, cut back to slower boil to conserve energy, yet continue boiling. Turn burners ON only when in use.

Broiler/Griddle

Turn the three manual gas valve knobs to full ON. After preheating for 5 minutes, turn valves down until desired flame or heating level is achieved. Position the removable broiler grid into one of the two slide positions, depending on which will achieve the proper product results.

LOADING AND UNLOADING OVEN

Open the door and load as quickly as practical to conserve heat. Avoid spilling liquids while loading. Close the door and refer to recipe for cooking time.

Provide adequate space for product unloading. Rapid unloading will conserve heat and reduce preheating for the next load.
