Clean oven interior regularly: Wipe the porcelain‑enameel standard oven cavity and chrome racks after cooling to prevent residue buildup and improve airflow and heating consistency.
-
Inspect gas connections: Check gas lines, fittings, and valve connections periodically for tightness and signs of wear; address any leaks promptly for safety and efficiency.
-
Check burners/pilots: If equipped, ensure pilot lights and burner ports are clear of debris so flames remain strong and efficient. Clean lift‑off burner components as needed.

Level the range: Adjust the 6″ chrome‑plated legs to keep the unit stable and level on non‑combustible floors for consistent cooking performance.
-
Season griddle surface: Lightly season the griddle with a thin coating of cooking oil before heavy use (after thorough cleaning) to enhance surface protection and reduce sticking.
