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.

Using Your Cooktop
Surface Controls
CAUTION
If flame should go out during a cook-
ing operation, turn the burner off. If a strong gas odor is detected, open a window and wait five minutes be­fore relighting the burner.
Be sure all surface controls are set to
the OFF position prior to supplying gas to the cooktop.
NEVER touch cooktop until it has
cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the burn­ers, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.
Surface Control Knobs
Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from LOW to HIGH. At the HIGH setting a detent or notch may be felt.
Setting the Controls
1. Place a pan on the burner grate. (To
preserve the grate finish, do not oper­ate the burners without a pan on the grate to absorb the heat from the burner flame.)
2. Push in knob and turn immediately counterclockwise to the LIGHT posi­tion.
A clicking (spark) sound will be
heard and the burner will light. (All ignitors will spark when any surface burner knob is turned on. However, only the selected burner will light.)
3. After the burner lights, turn knob to desired flame size.
4. Do not leave the cooktop unattended.
Operating During a Power Failure
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired
surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to the LIGHT position.
3. Adjust flame to the desired level.
CAUTION
When lighting the surface burners, be sure all of the controls are in the OFF position. Strike the match first and hold it in position before turning the knob.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking during a power failure.
Shutdown Instructions
When the recreational vehicle is not in use
Check these points if . . .
or while traveling, turn all knobs to the OFF position and turn off the main gas supply.
Suggested Heat Settings
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.
Pilotless Ignition
Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a constant standing pilot light. Each sur­face burner has a spark ignitor. Use care when cleaning around the surface burner.
If the surface burner does not light, check if ignitor is broken, soiled or wet. If clogged, clean the small port beneath the ignitor using a straight pin.

Settings Uses
HIGH Use 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.
LOW Use 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.

MODEL ALZ8590ADB/S
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.
Grate Fingers
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.
