Installation and Setup

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your Adcraft range. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.

1. Unpacking

3. Gas Connection

• To ignite, turn the burner knob to the 'ON' position. The pilot light should ignite the burner. If not, refer to the troubleshooting section.

Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Adcraft range.

1. Daily Cleaning

• Stainless Steel Surfaces: Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the finish.
• Grates and Burners: Allow grates to cool. Remove and clean them with warm, soapy water. The anti-clogging pilot shield should be kept clear of debris.
• Griddle Plate: After each use, scrape off excess food debris. While still warm, wipe the griddle surface with a griddle brick or scraper. Season the griddle regularly as needed.
• Crumb Tray: Empty and clean the removable crumb tray daily.

2. Regular Maintenance

• Periodically check gas connections for leaks using a soapy water solution (never an open flame).
• Ensure the adjustable legs are stable and the unit remains level.
• Inspect burner ports and pilot lights for blockages and clean as necessary.
