Frequently Asked Questions - ATRC-36 Atosa

How do I convert the range from natural gas to propane?

To convert from natural gas to propane, you must install the propane conversion kit (sold separately). The kit includes new orifices and a gas pressure regulator adjustment. Follow the conversion instructions in the manual carefully or contact a qualified technician. Never attempt conversion without proper tools and knowledge.

Why won't the oven ignite?

First, ensure the gas supply is turned on and the oven door is closed. Check that the oven thermostat is set to a temperature above room temperature. If the igniter fails to glow or spark, it may be defective. Also verify that the oven gas valve is open. Always turn off power and gas before inspecting.

How do I clean the burner grates?

Burner grates are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before re-installing. Do not put grates in the oven during self-cleaning cycle.

What are the dimensions of the oven interior?

The oven interior is approximately 26 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and 18 inches high, providing about 5.5 cubic feet of usable space. These dimensions allow for standard cookie sheets and roasting pans.

Can I install the range flush against the wall?

Yes, the backguard provides clearance for combustibles. However, the manual recommends at least 6 inches of clearance from the back wall for proper ventilation and gas line access. Check local codes for specific requirements.

What safety devices does the range have?

Each burner is equipped with a flame failure safety device that automatically shuts off gas if the flame goes out. The oven door has a safety interlock that prevents the oven from operating when the door is open. Additionally, the range has a gas shut-off valve accessible at the rear. Always test safety devices periodically.

How do I adjust the oven thermostat?

The oven thermostat is calibrated at the factory. If you suspect temperature inaccuracy, place an oven thermometer in the center of the oven and monitor. Calibration can be adjusted using the temperature adjustment knob behind the control panel. Refer to the manual for the specific procedure, as incorrect adjustment may affect cooking.

What type of gas does this range use?

The ATRC-36 is designed for natural gas but can be converted to propane using a conversion kit. The factory preset is for natural gas. Check the rating plate on the range to confirm the gas type. Always use the gas type specified on the rating plate.

How do I remove the oven door for cleaning?

Open the oven door fully. Locate the hinge locks on each side and flip them to the locked position (toward the door). Then close the door until it stops at the locked position, grasp both sides, and lift up and out. Reverse to reinstall. Be careful: the door is heavy.

What are the BTU ratings for each burner?

Each of the six open burners provides 30,000 BTUs. The oven burner supplies 38,000 BTUs. Total input is 218,000 BTUs (including oven). These high-output burners are suitable for heavy-duty commercial cooking.

Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before broiling for preheating, according to the cooking requirement to adjust the flame size. Notice: When first preheating, the furnace will smoke rise. This is because of protective lipids on the grates and other parts are heated, it is normal, and it will be eliminated after the power up to the maximum for burning an hour. One side of grate with grease trough (Fig. 5), and on the other side of grate is flat (Fig. 6), users can choose a side according to demand, users also can adjust grate's gradient according to demand (Fig. 7). The side of grate with grease trough up if roasting food with more oil, and oil will drop into grease trough, then flow to catch tray.
