Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing  
in this manual are not meant to cover all possible  
conditions and situations that may occur. Common  
sense, caution, and care must be exercised when  
installing, maintaining, or operating the appliance.  
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage  
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the  
appliance before operating it.  
• Keep area around appliance clear and free from  
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable  
vapors and materials.  
• If appliance is installed near a window, proper  
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from  
blowing over burners.  
NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air  
from the vent may ignite flammable items and may  
increase pressure in closed containers which may  
cause them to burst.  
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when  
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid  
their use or storage near an appliance.  
• Children must be taught that the appliance and  
utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe  
place, out of reach of small children. Children should  
be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children  
should not be allowed to play with controls or other  
parts of the appliance.  
WARNING  
If the information in this manual is not  
followed exactly, a fire or explosion may  
result causing property damage, personal  
injury or death.  
ALWAYS contact the manufacturer about problems or  
conditions you do not understand.  
Cooking Safety  
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:  
DO NOT try to light any appliance.  
DO NOT touch any electrical switch.  
DO NOT use any phone in your building.  
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a  
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s  
instructions.  
• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface  
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided  
directly above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be  
limited to items which are used infrequently and which  
are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an  
appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some  
items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol  
sprays.

DANGER  
Hazards or unsafe practices which WILL  
result in death or severe personal injury.  
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call  
the fire department.  
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics  
away from parts of the appliance that may become  
warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on  
the rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too  
close to the vent or a lighted surface burner.  
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and  
metallic items may become hot and cause burns.  
DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods. DO NOT leave  
oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads,  
mushrooms, etc; fire hazard.  
ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before  
turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls  
which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is  
turned on and that the burner has ignited. When  
cooking is completed, turn burner off before removing  
pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.  
ALWAYS adjust surface burner flame so that it does  
not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An  
excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may  
damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the  
appliance. This is based on safety considerations.  
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended  
especially when using a high heat setting or when  
deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy  
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as  
possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking  
operations.  
DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of  
pressure may cause the container to explode and result  
in injury.  
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may  
cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other  
substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders  
because they can trail across hot surface burners and  
ignite or get caught on appliance parts.  
ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat  
frying cool before attempting to move or handle.  
DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood  
or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease  
from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming  
foods under the hood, turn the fan off.  
NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or  
loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking.  
Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles. DO NOT  
drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These  
items could ignite and cause burns.  
Installation and service must be performed by a  
qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid  
spreading the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood  
to remove smoke and odor.  
• Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or  
cookie sheet.  
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.  
• Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.  
DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a  
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire  
or flame.  
GREASE–Grease is flammable and should be handled  
carefully. DO NOT use water on grease fires. Flaming  
grease can be extinguished with baking soda or, if  
available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type  
extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to handle  
it. DO NOT allow grease to collect around the oven or  
in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.

Important notice regarding pet birds:  
electric power to the appliance at the main fuse or  
circuit breaker before removing bulb to avoid  
electrical shock.  
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where  
the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a  
very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released due to  
overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated  
non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.  
WARNING  
About Your Appliance  
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven  
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as  
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the  
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.  
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a  
fire hazard.  
PREPARED FOOD WARNING:  
Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic  
frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps,  
or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately  
discard the food and its container. The food could be  
contaminated.  
• If you are “flamingliquor or other spirits under an  
exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the  
flames to spread out of control.  
• Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the  
Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh  
air supply is not obstructed. The use of a gas cooking  
appliance results in the production of heat and  
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure  
that the kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep natural  
venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation  
device. Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance  
may call for additional (such as opening a window) or  
more effective ventilation (such as increasing the level  
of a mechanical ventilation if present).  
WARNING  
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or  
warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the user  
and damage to the appliance. Also, DO NOT use the  
rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or  
cooking utensils.  
• The flame of the burner should be adjusted to just  
cover the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive burner  
setting may cause scorching of adjacent counter-top  
surfaces, as well as the outside of the utensil. This is  
based on safety considerations.  
WARNING  
BURN OR ELECTRICAL  
SHOCK HAZARD  
Make sure all controls are  
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT  
block or obstruct the oven vent duct located on the  
right side of the air grille.  
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and  
for several minutes after oven is turned off. When the  
oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area become  
hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off,  
DO NOT touch the oven vent or surrounding areas  
until they have had sufficient time to cool.  
• Other potentially hot surfaces include rangetop, areas  
facing the rangetop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent  
opening, oven door, areas around the oven door and  
oven window.  
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning  
on them) can result in potential hazards and/or injuries.  
Heating Elements  
NEVER touch oven bake and broil burner areas or  
interior surfaces of oven.  
OFF and oven is COOL  
before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns  
or electrical shock  
• Bake and broil burners may be hot even though they  
are dark in color. Areas near burners and interior  
surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause  
burns.  
• During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing  
or other flammable materials contact heating  
elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of  
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other  
surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause  
burns, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near  
the vent opening, and the oven door window.  
WARNING  
Note: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside  
the oven. Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous  
fumes or can damage the finish. DO NOT line the oven  
with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can  
melt or burn causing permanent damage to the oven.  
Utensil Safety  
• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily  
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped,  
easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using  
pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they  
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to  
move when filled with food may also be hazardous.  
• Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain  
food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly  
important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will  
accommodate the volume of food that is to be added  
as well as the bubble action of fat.  
• To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and  
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,  
DO NOT extend handles over adjacent surface burners.  
ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of  
the appliance, not out into the room where they are  
easily hit or reached by small children.  
Cleaning Safety  
Power Failure  
CAUTION  
BURN HAZARD  
The oven door, especially the glass, can  
get hot. Danger of burning: DO NOT  
touch the glass!  
• Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool  
before touching or cleaning them. DO NOT touch the  
burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had  
sufficient time to cool.  
• Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam  
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on  
a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious  
fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work.  
No attempt should be made to operate the appliance  
during a power failure. Make sure the oven control is in  
the “OFFposition.  
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range  
is affected only when the power is interrupted. When it  
comes back on, the range will function properly without  
any adjustments. A “brown-outmay or may not affect  
range operation, depending on how severe the power  
loss is.  
DO NOT clean door gasket. It is essential for a good  
tight seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or  
move the gasket.

The 23,000 BTU front burners are designed to provide  
extra high heat output, especially when using large pans,  
and should be used for boiling large quantities or if you  
need to bring something to a boil quickly. While the high  
output 23,000 BTU burners have the extra power needed  
to bring large quantities of liquid to a boil rapidly, they  
are also able to be turned down low enough to provide  
a very low and delicate simmer making this the most  
versatile burner system on the market.

Vari-Simmer™  
Simmering is a cooking technique in which foods are  
cooked in hot liquids kept at or just barely below the  
boiling point of water. Simmering ensures gentler  
treatment than boiling to prevent food from toughening  
and/or breaking up. The size of the pan and the volume  
of food can have a significant effect on how high or low  
a flame is needed for simmering. For this reason, Viking  
range and rangetop burners are engineered with a  
Vari-Simmer setting. The Vari-Simmer setting is not just  
one simmer setting, but provides a variable range of  
simmer settings. This variable range of simmer settings  
allows you to adjust the flame height to achieve the best  
simmer depending on the type and quantity of food  
being simmered. It is this ability that makes the Vari-  
Simmer setting the most accurate and trustworthy  
simmer on the market.

• Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in  
vessels that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass,  
ceramic, and cast-iron. Reduce the flame height until  
it covers approximately 1/3 of the cooking vessel  
diameter. This will ensure more even heating within  
the cooking vessel and reduce the likelihood of  
burning or scorching the food.  
• Reduce the flame if it is extending beyond the bottom  
of the cooking vessel. A flame that extends along the  
sides of the vessel is potentially dangerous, heats the  
utensil handle and kitchen instead of the food, and  
wastes energy.  
• Reduce the flame height to the minimum level  
necessary to perform the desired cooking process.  
Remember that food cooks just as quickly at a gentle  
boil as it does at a rolling boil. Maintaining a higher boil  
than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away moisture,  
and causes a loss in food flavor and nutrient level.  
• The minimum pot or pan (vessel) diameter  
recommended is 6(15 cm). Use of pots or pans as  
small as 4(10 cm) is possible but not recommended.  
Eggs  
• Season griddle by thinly coating the surface with ap-  
proximately 1⁄2 to 1 teaspoon unsalted vegetable oil.  
Apply to entire griddle using a paper towel or clean  
cloth. Let oil sit on griddle for approximately 1 hour  
and then wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel to  
absorb any residual oil. The griddle is now ready to be  
used.

Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled  
to the burner to light. When the burner lights, turn the  
burner control to any position to adjust the flame size.  
Setting the proper flame height for the desired cooking  
process and selecting the correct cooking vessel will  
result in superior cooking performance, while also saving  
ime and energy.  
• Routinely scrape loose food particles with a spatula  
during cooking to make the clean-up easier and to  
avoid the particles mixing with the food.

is still warm enough to create steam, pour a small  
amount of club soda at room temperature directly  
on the griddle. Using a metal spatula, pull oils and  
food particles toward the trough in front. Wipe entire

Using the Oven  
Conventional and Convection Cooking  
• Cooking times for standard baking and convection  
baking will be the same. However, if using convection  
to cook a single item or smaller load, then it is possible  
to have 10-15% reduction in cooking time. (Remember  
convection cooking is designed for multi-rack baking  
or cooking large loads.)  
• If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes,  
then it is possible to see a 10-15% reduction in cooking  
time.  
Because of variations in food density, surface texture  
and consistency, some foods may be prepared more  
successfully using the conventional bake setting. For  
this reason, conventional baking is recommended when  
preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may  
find other foods that are also prepared more consistently  
in conventional bake. It is recommended to use this  
function for single-rack baking.  
• Keeping the griddle well seasoned will prevent the  
griddle from developing surface rust. If the griddle is  
not used for a period of time, it must be re-seasoned.  
The griddle must be re-seasoned each time after it is  
washed.  
• Note: It is normal for the griddle to darken over time.  
This is the sign of a well seasoned griddle.  
• A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability  
to prepare foods in quantity. The uniform air circulation  
makes this possible. Foods that can be prepared on  
two or three racks at the same time include: pizza,  
cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen  
convenience foods.  
• For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack  
positions 2, 3, 4, and 5. For two-rack baking, use rack  
positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5. Remember that  
the racks are numbered from bottom to top.  
Convection Cooking Tips  
Convection cooking is a cooking technique which utilizes  
fan-forced air to circulate throughout the entire oven  
cavity creating the optimum cooking environment.  
Cooking with convection is intended when performing  
multi-rack baking and for heavier foods. Following are  
some tips which will allow you to get the best results out  
of your oven when cooking with convection.  
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to  
convection recipes, reduce the temperature by 25°F  
(10°C) when using a convection cooking function.

Baking Tips  
• Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position  
before you turn on the oven.  
Full power heat is radiated from the U-shaped bake  
burner in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated  
with natural airflow. This function is recommended for  
single rack baking. Many cookbooks contain recipes to  
be cooked in the conventional manner. Conventional  
baking is suitable for dishes that require a high  
DO NOT open the door frequently during baking.  
Look through the door window to check doneness  
whenever possible. If you must open the door, the best  
time is during the last quarter of the baking time.  
• Bake to the shortest time suggested and check for  
doneness before adding more time. For baked goods,  
a stainless steel knife placed in the center of the  
item should come out clean when done.  
• Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe  
to ensure best results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and  
cookies should be baked in shiny, reflective pans for  
light, golden crusts. Avoid the use of old, darkened pans.  
Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated pans  
heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.  
• If baking with a commercial-sized sheet pan, it is  
important to note that the large width of the  
commercial sheet pan has the tendency to restrict the  
airflow in the oven cavity. It is recommended to use  
Convection Bake to help better circulate the heat in the  
oven cavity when baking with a commercial sheet pan.

Pan Placement Tips  
• When using large (15x 13”) flat pans or trays that  
cover most of the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce  
the best results.  
• When baking on more than one rack, it is  
recommended to use the 3rd and 5th position for  
more consistent, even baking.  
• Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks  
and several pans are used in conventional bake. If  
possible, no pan should be directly above another.  
• Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of  
each pan for even air circulation.

Heat is radiated from the U-shaped bake burner in the  
bottom of the oven cavity. The heated air is circulated by  
one motorized fan in the rear of the oven providing  
a more even heat distribution. Multiple rack use is  
possible for the largest baking job. When roasting, cool  
air is quickly replaced—searing meats on the outside  
and retaining more juices and natural flavor on the inside  
with less shrinkage. This even circulation of air equalizes  
the temperature throughout the oven cavity and  
eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional  
ovens.

Broiling  
Broiling  
BROIL (Infrared Broil)  
Broiling Instructions  
Broiling Tips  
Rack Positions for Broiling  
Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or  
radiant heat. It is used for small, individualized cuts such  
as steaks, chops, and patties. Broiling speed is  
determined by the distance between the food and the  
broil element. Choose the rack position based on  
desired results.  
ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They  
are designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and  
fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent  
splatter, smoke, and fire.  
• To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.  
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they  
broil to prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly  
grease broiler tray.  
• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the  
recommended time, season, and turn. Season second  
side just before removing.  
ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning  
or removing food.  
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce  
meat with a fork, as this allows the juices to escape.  
• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you  
remove the food. Drippings will bake onto the pan if it  
is left in the heated oven after broiling. While pan is  
hot, place damp paper towel over grid. Drizzle with  
liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over grid.  
This will make cleaning of the pan easier, or the broiler  
pan can be lined with aluminum foil to make cleaning  
easier. Be sure the foil extends up the side of the pan.  
Conventional broiling is most successful for cuts of meat  
1-2 inches thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of  
meat. Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling  
food slightly quicker than conventional. Convection  
broiling of meats produces better results, especially for  
thick cuts. The meat sears on the outside and retains  
more juices and natural flavor inside with less shrinkage.

The broil burner at the top of the oven heats the metal  
screen until it glows. Heat radiates from the Gourmet-  
Glo™ infrared broiler located at the top of the oven cavity.  
The distance between the foods and the broil elements  
determines broiling speed. For “fastbroiling, food may  
be as close as 2 inches (5 cm) to the broil element or on  
the top rack. “Fastbroiling is best for meats where rare to  
medium doneness is desired. Use this setting for broiling  
small and average cuts of meat.  
To Use Broil or Convection Broil  
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before  
turning broiler on.  
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan and grid supplied  
with your oven. Place broiler pan in oven.  
Note: Position 6 is the closest to the broiler and position 1 is  
CONVECTION BROIL (Infrared Convection Broil)  
the closest to the oven bottom.  
3. Set the oven temperature control knob to “Broil.  
Turn on the convection fan switch if you wish to  
convection broil.  
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door  
in the open broil stop position. With open door broiling  
the broil element does not cycle on and off. With  
closed door broiling the broil element might cycle on  
and off if an extended broiling time is required.  
The top burner operates at full power. This function is  
exactly the same as regular broiling with the additional  
benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the  
rear of the oven. Smoke is reduced since the airflow also  
reduces peak temperatures on the food. Use this setting  
for broiling thick cuts of meats.

Convection Dehydrate  
BROILING CHART  
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to  
dehydrate fruits and vegetables. Warm air is circulated  
by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven and over a  
period of time, the water is removed from the food by  
evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of  
microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes.  
It is important to remember that dehydration does not  
improve the quality, so only fresh, top-quality foods  
should be used.

equipment is no exception. Your range must be kept  
clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make  
sure all controls are in the “OFFposition. Disconnect  
power if you are going to clean thoroughly with water.  
before setting them back on the cooking surface, they  
may rust. You can also set the grates and burner caps on  
top of the burner and turn the burner on high for ten to  
fifteen seconds for extra drying. To prevent rusting and  
discoloration, do not submerge grates in water soak for  
any length of time or run them through the dishwasher.  
If rust does occur, Bar Keeper’s Friend and a blue Scotch-  
Brite pad will remove it. To condition grates and burner  
caps, apply a light coating of mineral oil or vegetable oil.  
Allow oil to soak in 15 minutes before returnng grates or  
burner caps to cooking surface.

ordinary steel  
NEVER rub against the grain with a cleaning agent or  
polish as it will alter the surface of the steel and  
reduce the corrosion resistance  
DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on  
stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently  
discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills  
immediately.  
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or  
abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the  
control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft clean cloth.

ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics.  
Stainless Steel Parts  
CLEANING TIP: For difficult to clean burner caps  
and heads, place parts in a zip seal bag with ammonia.  
Your Brigade range is equipped with a heavy-duty  
stainless steel oven cavity which is the same as what  
is commonly used in commercial and restaurant style  
ranges. Over time they will naturally start to darken and  
discolor. This is the standard process of how stainless  
steel reacts when it is exposed to high heat tempera-  
tures. The discoloration of the oven will not affect the  
performance.  
Burner Base  
The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water  
at the end of each cooling period. DO NOT use steel  
wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser, or powders. To remove  
encrusted materials, soak the area with a hot towel to  
loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula.  
DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal  
tool to scrape the base.  
• Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top  
surface.  
• Replace burner cap, burner head, and grates after  
drying thoroughly.  
Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur  
and before they get a chance to burn in and cook solid.  
In the event of a spill-over, follow these steps:  
• Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe  
temperature level.  
While the stainless steel oven cavity will never return  
to the original color, there are some steps which can  
be taken to help minimize the discoloration of these  
components. To ensure that the stainless steel maintains  
adequate corrosion resistance, it should be cleaned regu-  
larly. Surface contaminates vary in terms of corrosive-  
ness, effect on surface finish, and ease of removal. The  
mildest form of cleaning should always be used first.  
• Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm soapy water.  
• Remove the burner cap and burner head and clean.  
Grates/Burner Caps  
After cooking, always wipe down grates  
and burner caps with a damp sponge  
and dry thoroughly. Normal cleaning  
can be done with hot, soapy water  
and/or Soft Scrub cleanser (without  
bleach) with a blue Scotch-Brite pad.  
If stubborn spots still occur, then use  
Easy-Off Fume Free Max Oven Cleaner.  
Oven Cavity and Exterior Stainless Steel Components  
To clean a lightly soiled surface:  
• It is recommended to use warm water, a mild, non-  
abrasive detergent, and a soft cloth while rubbing in  
the direction of the stainless steel grain.  
Procedure for oven cleaner use: Take  
grates and burner caps off unit - move  
outside and place on newspaper.  
Spray with Easy-Off, let cleaner sit on  
spotted areas for 1-2 hours. Clean off  
with hot soapy water.  
For more highly soiled/discolored surfaces:  
• It is recommended to use the soft cleanser version  
of Bar Keepers Friend. Simply read and follow the  
directions found on product label.  
• To prevent corrosion of the metal, it is important that  
the cleaning solution be rinsed or wiped clean with  
warm water. The surface should then be wiped clean,  
in the direction of the stainless steel grain, with dry  
towels to prevent water spots.  
When cleaning grates and burner  
caps, make sure to thoroughly dry  
them, especially underneath. If the  
bottom portion does not totally dry
