Jade RJGR Installation Instructions Manual - Open Top / Simmer
12
INITIAL STARTUP AND ADJUSTMENT
The air for combustion is supplied through the front of
the range. The combustion air is exhausted upward
and through the flue way. Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
IMPORTANT
For proper operation of the range, it is very impor-
tant that the unit is leveled. To level the range:
1. Use 1” open end adjustable wrench. Turn the
adjustable feet equally until the top of the range is
even or higher than the counter top.
2. Install the oven racks.
3. Put a carpenter’s spirit level or a measuring cup
partially filled with water on one of the oven racks.
4. Adjust the leg’s feet using the wrench.
Before startup, make sure that the range has been
carefully checked for gas leaks and that the range has
been properly connected to electric power.
Every RJGR Range is fully tested and adjusted in
the factory. Due to the difference in gas heating
values, elevations, and ventilating conditions of
every installation, minor adjustment of the burners
may be necessary. Carefully follow the procedures
described below.
OPEN TOP / SIMMER
Open top burners are in sets of two. The right burner
knob controls the front burner and the left knob con-
trols the rear. These top burners are rated at
15,000 BTUs per hour. They can be turned down to
1,000 BTUs for delicate cooking. For simmering, a
dedicated simmer burner is located at the right rear.
This smaller burner has a maximum rate of 10,000
BTU/HR and can be turned down to 500 BTU/hr.
To ignite the burners, push the corresponding knob
in, turn knob to HI and then to LITE position. You will
hear a clicking sound indicating the proper operation of
the spark igniters. After the air in the supply line has
been purged, the burner should ignite within a few sec-
onds. After ignition, turn knob to desired setting. The
clicking sound should stop. Please remember... these
burners produce a lot of heat (15,000 BTU/hr.) at HI
setting. Do not operate the burners for an extended
period of time without cookware on the grates. The
porcelain on the GEOGRATES may chip without the
cookware to absorb the heat. Also because of the
high input rate, a slight popping sound is normal during
ignition of the burners.
The burners are tested and adjusted at the factory.
The burner flames when set on HI must have clean,
sharp blue flames with distinct inner cones of about 1
inch high.
