4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Cooktop Operation
The cooktop features six sealed burners and an 18,000 BTU griddle. Burners are controlled by front-mounted knobs.
- Burner Ignition: Push and turn the desired burner knob counter-clockwise to the "HI" position. You will hear a clicking sound as the igniter sparks. Once the flame ignites, continue to hold the knob for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, then release. Adjust the flame to your desired setting.
- Burner Power: The German-made single-stack burners offer versatility with high power 18,000 BTU for rapid boiling and low power 6,000 BTU for simmering delicate sauces.
- Griddle Operation: The 18,000 BTU griddle is ideal for cooking items like pancakes, bacon, and grilled sandwiches. Preheat the griddle for 5-10 minutes before use.

4.2 Oven Operation
The NXR SC4811 features an extra-large 7.2 cu. ft. convection oven with a 10,000 BTU broiler burner and a 22,000 BTU oven burner.
- Baking: Turn the oven control knob to the desired temperature. The oven will preheat, and the indicator light will turn off when the set temperature is reached. The convection fan can be activated for more even cooking.
- Broiling: Position the oven rack to the desired height. Turn the oven control knob to the "Broil" setting. The broiler burner will ignite. Monitor food closely to prevent burning.
- Convection Fan: The convection fan circulates hot air for faster and more even cooking, particularly beneficial for baking multiple items or large roasts. Activate the convection fan using its dedicated switch.
- Oven Racks: Adjust oven racks to suit your cooking needs. The extra-large oven window allows for better visibility without opening the door, helping maintain consistent oven temperatures.

- Stainless Steel Surfaces: Clean with a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent streaking.
5.2 Oven Cleaning
