gas leak(s) has been repaired.
WARNING
Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or
cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
Smoke Damage
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air may ignite flammable items
and may increase pressure in closed containers which may cause them to burst.
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.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an
appliance.
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 cooktop as they may melt or
soften if left too close to a lighted surface
burner.
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.
CAUTION
1
A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a
gas odor is detected, shut off the gas supply to
the cooktop. Call your installer or local gas
company to have the possible leak checked.
Never use a match or other flame to locate a
gas leak.
Child Safety
CAUTION
NEVER store items of interest to children in
cabinets above an appliance. Children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be
seriously injured.
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised
near the appliance when it is in use or is hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any
part of the appliance as they could be injured
or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance
and utensils on 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 unit.
Cooking Safety
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.
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.
NEVER heat an unopened container on the
surface burner. Pressure build-up may cause
container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. 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 on.
NEVER wear garments made of flammable
material or loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or
catch utensil handles.
Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that
are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using
unstable, warped, easily tipped or loosehandled 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.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage
the utensil and the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop usage without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not
use any devices or accessories that are not
specifically recommended in this guide. Do
not use eyelid covers for the surface units or
stovetop grills. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in
this manual can create serious safety hazards,
result in performance problems, and reduce
the life of the components of the appliance.
Cleaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance
parts to cool before touching or cleaning them.
Do not touch the burner grates or surrounding
area 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.
Important Safety
Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a
list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that
the burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly
adjusted burners will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can
also be minimized by properly venting the
burners to the outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET
BIRDS: 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 during an oven
self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to
birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated nonstick cookware may be equally harmful.

SettingsUses
HIGHUse HIGH to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a
pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when
liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.
An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food
will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used
than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same
temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.
LOWUse LOW to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt
chocolate or butter.
Some cooking may take place on the LOW setting if the pan is
covered.

1. Left surface burner (9,100 BTUs).
2. Right surface burner (9,100 BTUs).
To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or staining:
•
Clean cooktop after each use.
•
Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon
as the cooktop has cooled as these
spills may discolor the surface.
Sealed Burners
The sealed burners are secured to the
cooktop and are not designed to be removed. Since the burners are sealed into
the cooktop, boilovers or spills will not
seep underneath the cooktop.
However, the burners should be cleaned
after each use. (See page 5 for cleaning
instructions.)
Cookware
Considerations
Cookware which extends more than one
inch beyond the grate, rests on two grates,
or touches the cooktop will cause a build
up of heat and result in damage to the
burner grate, burner and cooktop.
CAUTION
•
The maximum pan size is a 10-inch
skillet.
•
To prevent damage to the cooktop
and the burner valves, do not use
canners or oversized cookware. The
pan should not be more than one
inch larger than the burner grate.
Cookware, such as a wok with a supporting ring, which restricts air circulation
around the burner will cause heat to
build up and may result in damage to the
burner grate, burner or cooktop.
Foods cook faster when the cookware is
covered because more heat is retained.
Lower the flame size when cookware is
covered. This also improves cooking efficiency.
The cooking performance is greatly affected by the type of cookware used.
Proper cookware will reduce cooking
times, use less energy and produce more
NOTES:
even cooking results. For best results use
a heavy gauge metal pan with a smooth
flat bottom, straight sides and a tight
fitting lid. Select a material, such as aluminum or copper, that conducts heat
quickly and evenly.
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned
before cooking. Improper installation of
the grates may result in chipping of the
cooktop.
Do not operate the burners without a
pan on the grate. The grate’s porcelain
finish may chip without a pan to absorb
the heat from the burner flame.
Although the burner grates are durable,
they will gradually lose their shine and/
or discolor, due to the high temperatures
of the gas flame.
To Insert or Remove
Grate:
Press on the two grate fingers on either
side of the expansion gap.

•
A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds.
With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are acceptable. This is normal and
adjustment is not necessary.
•
With some types of gas, you may hear a “popping” sound when the surface
burner is turned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner.
•
To improve cooking efficiency and to prevent possible damage to the cooktop
or pan, the flame must be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
pan.
