6
· Clearance: Keep at least 4 inches away from combustible objects on the sides and 8 inches at the back. Ensure there’s enough space around the motor for ventilation, especially if installed near walls or other enclosures.
· Weight and Stability: Install on a stable, level floor. Use adjustable feet to level the device if necessary. · Ventilation: Make sure there’s good airflow to remove any combustion gases. · Secure Installation: After setting up, ensure the device is stable and doesn’t wobble. · Emergency Shutoff: Install an easily accessible shutoff valve near the device for safety. · Gas Type Compatibility: Verify that the gas supply matches what the device is designed for. If unsure, don’t use the
device. · Pressure Regulation: Use only the recommended low-pressure gas regulator for this device. · Leak Prevention: After connecting gas pipes, check for leaks with soapy water or a leak detector. Do not use open
flames to check for leaks. · Final Checks: After installation, verify the gas pressure to ensure it’s correct. Griddle Seasoning Caution: The griddle plate is made of steel, which has a relatively soft surface. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface with spatulas or scrapers. Use tools gently and avoid tapping the edge of the spatula on the griddle, as it could cause damage. Why Season the Griddle? Seasoning is essential to maintain the griddle’s surface by filling its pores with oil. This process creates a slick, hard finish that helps food release easily during cooking. How to Season the Griddle: 1. Initial Cleaning: Clean the griddle surface to remove any manufacturing residues or debris. 2. Heating: Heat the griddle top section at a low burner setting. 3. Oil Application: Pour one ounce of cooking oil onto the center of the griddle surface. 4. Spreading the Oil: Use an insulated cloth, spread the oil evenly across the griddle to form a thin film. 5. Removing Excess Oil: Wipe off any excess oil with a dry cloth to avoid pooling. 6. Repeat: Repeat this process 2 to 3 times or until the griddle achieves a slick surface. This seasoning process not only prepares the griddle for cooking but also helps in maintaining its longevity by protecting the surface from rust and wear.

Backsplash Assembly
1. Open the package and remove the backsplash components. 2. Assemble the required components according to the above image. 3. Slide the back panel into the front panel from the bottom of the front panel. 4. Align the holes and use four #10 sheet metal screws to fasten the front and back panels together firmly from the backside. 5.

Operation
Control Panel:
Using the Gas Range: Turning on the Gas: Turn on the gas valve and light the pilot flame with an igniter. If the appliance has been idle for an extended period or is used for the first time, the ignition process might take longer (about 2-3 minutes). Adjusting the Burner: Press the valve knob slightly and rotate it counterclockwise to light the burner. To turn the flame up to MAX, align the knob with the double flame symbol. To turn it down to MIN, rotate the knob counterclockwise to single flame symbol. Need use a long lighter to ignite the Griddle pilot through the pilot holes, see below figure:
Shutting Down: After using the main burner, turn off by rotating the knob clockwise back to its original position. Caution! When not in use, ensure the quick-acting shut-off valve is turned off for safety.

Initial Cleaning and Preparation:
Before first use, thoroughly clean the oven to remove any packaging materials and manufacturing residues. Also, clean the stainless steel surfaces with a suitable detergent, then dry the device completely to avoid any moisture inside.
· First Use and Smell: It’s normal to experience an unpleasant smell during the first few uses. Ensure this smell is not due to gas leakage. Any smell from overheating is typically from the insulation material curing or oil residue from manufacturing heating up. If the oven is new, do not put any food inside until the smell has dissipated, which might take about 30 to 60 minutes.
· Ignition Duration: The first ignition might take slightly longer as air needs to be purged from the gas lines.
· Temperature Control: The oven can reach temperatures between 250°F and 550°F. Use the temperature knob to set your desired temperature.
· Igniting the Oven: To ignite the oven, open the oven door slightly, press the temperature control knob down, and rotate it counterclockwise to the ignite position. Keep pressing for about 10 seconds until the pilot light ignites, then release the knob. If the pilot doesn’t light, repeat the process. Ensure the oven door is closed after ignition.
· Setting the Timer: Use the timer to set the cooking duration. The oven will automatically turn off once the timer reaches zero.
· Using the Oven: Place your dishes inside the oven on the appropriate rack level. For baking, the middle rack is often ideal unless the recipe specifies otherwise. For roasting, the lower rack might be preferable.
· Cooking Modes: Most standard ovens come with different cooking modes like bake, broil, and sometimes convection. Choose the mode based on your cooking needs. For instance, use the broil setting for top-down cooking to brown the top of dishes, or bake for even heat distribution from all sides.
· Safety Precautions: Always use oven mitts when handling hot dishes. Never leave the oven unattended for long periods when in use, especially when cooking at high temperatures or with oils that could overheat.
· Post-Use: Once cooking is complete, turn the oven off and let it cool down before cleaning. This helps in preventing burns and allows for safer cleaning.
· Cleaning the Oven: After it has cooled, clean the oven interior with a damp cloth or sponge with a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool which can scratch

· Power Supply: Verify that the power supply to the machine is stable and functioning correctly.
Cleaning & Maintenance
· Preparation: Before cleaning, ensure the device is turned off and cool. Also, turn off the gas valve. · Daily Cleaning: Use warm soapy water to clean surfaces. Avoid using hot water directly on the
device. · Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool for cleaning as these can scratch
surfaces. Instead, use a soft cloth or sponge. · Cleaning Agents: For tough stains, use a mild chlorine cleaner or a similar non-abrasive
substance. Avoid harsh chemicals like hydrochloric acid, which can damage the device. · Electrical Components: Do not clean electrical parts with water or any liquid. Use a dry cloth for
these areas. · Burner Maintenance: Regularly check and clean the burners to avoid gas flow issues. Ensure no
food residue or grease blocks the burner ports. · Ventilation: Keep the ventilation system clean to prevent fire hazards. Clear any grease buildup
regularly. · Rust Removal: If rust appears, use an industrial rust remover. Follow up with a water rinse and dry
thoroughly. For persistent rust, a professional might be needed. · Storage: If not using the device for an extended period, clean it thoroughly and store it in a dry,
11
ventilated space · Spillage: Clean spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the device. Use a scraper for
solid food but avoid metal tools that could scratch surfaces. · Long-term Storage: If storing the device for a long time, ensure it’s completely dry to avoid rust.
Consider using a protective cover. · Regular Inspection: Check the device periodically for any signs of wear or damage. This includes
looking for dents, leaks, or any malfunctioning parts. · Professional Servicing: If any part of the device seems damaged beyond simple cleaning or if
there are issues with gas flow, consult a professional for repairs. · Final Check: After cleaning, ensure all parts are dry before reassembling or using the device again.
Check that all knobs and switches are functioning correctly. · Safety First: Always disconnect the device from the power source before cleaning. If gas-powered,
ensure the gas supply is turned off. · Disposal: When the device reaches the end of its life, dispose of it according to local
environmental regulations. Many parts can be recycled, so check with local recycling programs. Note: Regular cleaning and maintenance not only ensure the longevity of your kitchen appliances but also maintain hygiene and safety standards in your cooking environment.
