Ranges mounted on casters must use a flexible connector (not included) that complies with the

Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69•CSA 6.16 and a quick-disconnect

Z21.41•CSA 6.9. In addition, adequate means must be provided to limit movement of the appliance

without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit

appliance movement. Attach the restraining device at the rear of the range.

If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect

this restraint prior to turning the gas supply on and returning the range to its installation position.

If the range is installed on casters and is moved for any reason, it is recommended that the range be

re-leveled front to back and side to side for even baking.

OPERATING SUGGESTIONS

Manual Griddle

Pre-heat the griddle top for approximately 15 - 20 minutes before cooking. The top can be kept hot with

burners turned partially down. During off periods, turn the burners down or heat only half of the top.

Thermostatic Griddle

Pre-heat the griddle top for approximately 15 - 20 minutes before cooking. The griddle thermostats

Standard Oven Cooking

Allow time to preheat ovens before using (25 minutes to 400°F [204°C]). The oven thermostat regulates

temperature from a low setting at approximately 250°F (121°C) to high setting at approximately 500°F

(260°C). If properly used, the automatic temperature control is an efficient system. Turn thermostat

down to LOW when oven is idling, or turn the oven control to OFF when not in use.

Cooking time and temperature in convection oven may vary slightly from normal time and temperature.

Open the door and load the oven as quickly as practical to conserve heat. Take care to avoid spilling

Provide adequate space for product unloading. Rapid unloading will conserve heat and ensure proper

reheating conditions for the next load, if applicable.

Disconnect the electrical power to the machine and follow Lockout / Tagout

procedures.

Shut off the gas before cleaning the appliance.

The appliance and its parts are hot. Be very careful when operating, cleaning, or

servicing the appliance.

Exterior surfaces may be cleaned using soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use Dawn

to clean the exterior or interior components of the range.

that will damage the oven.

DAILY CLEANING

Open Top

Clean cast iron open top grates with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a

clean, water-absorbent towel. Immediately after drying (with grates still removed from the range top),

season grates lightly with liquid vegetable or spray-type cooking oil.

After seasoning, replace grates onto the range. Turn on all open top sections to LOW and allow them to

properly empty grease tray/drawer will not be covered under warranty.

Clean the griddle regularly. A clean griddle always looks better, lasts longer and performs better. To

produce evenly cooked griddle products, keep the griddle plate clean and free of carbonized grease.

Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle surface to the food,

foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance.

After each use, clean the griddle with a scouring pad or flexible spatula.

Once a day, thoroughly clean the griddle back splash, sides and front. Remove, empty and wash the

grease drawer in the same manner as an ordinary cooking utensil.

Oven

Remove chrome-plated racks and clean in a sink.

After processing some foods at low temperatures, odors may linger in the oven. These odors may be

cleared by setting the thermostat at 500°F (260°C) and allowing the oven to operate unloaded for 30 to

45 minutes.

EXTERIOR CLEANING

Daily

Clean exterior finish with a mild solution of soap or grease-dissolving cleaner. To remove discoloration,

use a nonabrasive cleaner. Always rub with the grain of the metal. Stainless steel areas of the range

can be polished by using a soft dry cloth. If needed, add stainless steel polish to the soft cloth.

STAINLESS STEEL

minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin oily or waxy film. To use these cleaners, simply

wipe on and remove excess with a soft dry cloth. After using, subsequent fingerprints will usually

disappear when wiped lightly with a soft cloth or with a cloth containing a little of the cleaner. If the

surface is especially dirty to start, wash first with soap or detergent and water.

Heat Tint

Straw-colored or slightly darkened areas may appear on stainless steel in and around ovens and

ranges where temperatures reach 500°F (260°C) or more. This "heat tint" is caused by a slight

oxidation of the stainless steel and is not harmful. To control or minimize this condition, never use

more heat than is absolutely necessary.

LUBRICATION

All moving parts must be checked for wear and lubricated. Contact your local authorized servicer.

Motors in Vulcan Endurance / Wolf Challenger convection ranges are permanently lubricated and

require no additional maintenance.

FLUE

Check the flue when it is cool to be sure it is free of obstructions.
