9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE.
INSTALLER: LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE
UNIT FOR THE OWNER.
OWNER: PLEASE RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been
designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions
carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire and injury to persons.
When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions
must be followed including those in the following pages.
High Altitude Installation
This appliance has been tested for operation up to an
altitude of 10,100 ft (3,078 m) elevation above sea level.
If desired, for altitudes above 2,000 ft (610 m) elevation
above sea level, adjustments may be made. Burners
should be checked at the lowest setting, if the flame is
not stable the simmer should be increased until the
flame is stable. This can be done by adjusting the
bypass screw in the valve. If flame performance is
satisfactory, adjustment will not be required. It is required
that a Certified Professional make the high altitude
adjustments during installation.
Fire Safety
Save these instructions.
Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to
come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or
grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be
certain that flammable materials such as window
coverings do not blow over or near the burners or
elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:
a.
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c.
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air
vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond
the edges of the pan.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a.
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
b.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
c.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d.
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and
you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
- The fire department is being called.
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be
lit manually.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire
to turn it off.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Gas Safety
To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block
appliance air vents.
Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve
is located.
For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and
dry.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows
and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the
appliance.
WARNING
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do
not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.
If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job
of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly
tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint
smell. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the unit and
contact an authorized service technician to diagnose the
issue. See Warning, ~ "Gas Appliance Safety"
on page 4
WARNING
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials contact surface units or areas near units until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly, on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc., before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,
scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly
positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in
use. Each of the feet must be placed into the
corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a
grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.
Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting
performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or when the burner does
not light even though the electronic igniters click.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
WARNING
Do not clean or touch any of the burners when an extra
low burner (if equipped) is in use. When the extra low
burner automatically reignites the ignitor at the burner will
spark.
WARNING
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the
appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance,
it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to
ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by
qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming
drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing
severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. The
burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate some by-products
6
9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
which are on the list. To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit according to the
instructions contained in this booklet and provide good
ventilation.
WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small
amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene, Formaldehyde
and Soot. To minimize exposure to these substances the
burners should be adjusted by a certified installer or
agency to ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper
ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation fan
or hood when cooking with gas. Always operate the unit
according to the instructions in this manual.
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the
cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner
ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from
steam.
WARNING
Do not remove grommets or white rings as they will
require Customer Service to refit and the cooktop must
not be used without all parts fitted correctly.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food.
This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of
the heating element or burner to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit.
This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different sizes. Proper relationship of cookware to
heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.
Inspect your cookware for damage or excessive wear
before using it.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of
the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and
burns.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.
Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are suitable for
cooktop use.

Causes of Damage
NOTICES
▯ RISK OF HEAT DAMAGE TO ADJACENT
APPLIANCES OR KITCHEN UNITS:
If the appliance is in operation for an extended period,
heat and moisture will be generated. Additional
ventilation is required. Open the window or switch on
an extractor hood that discharges the extracted air
and moisture outside the building.
Environmental protection
Environmental protection
The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips
and provide information on disposing of your appliance.
The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured
using only the materials which are strictly necessary to
provide efficient protection during transport. These
materials are 100% recyclable, thus reducing the
environmental impact. You can also contribute to caring
for the environment by following the advice below:
▯ Dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling
bin.
▯ Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you
disable it. Contact your local authority to find out the
address of your nearest recycling centre to dispose of
your appliance.
▯ Do not pour used oil down the sink. Collect it in a
sealed container and take it to an appropriate
collection point or, failing that, place it in the rubbish
bin (it will end up in a controlled dump; this is probably
not the best option, but it will avoid contaminating
ground water).
▯ RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE DUE TO THE
BUILD-UP OF HEAT:
Do not heat roasters, frying pans or grill stones using
more than one burner at a time.
▯ OPERATIONAL FAULT:
Always turn the control knob to the "Off" position when
the appliance is not being used.
Saving energy
▯ Choose a burner of roughly the same size as your
pan. Place the cookware in the middle.
▯ Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,
less full saucepan requires more energy.
▯ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy. Use
a glass lid so that you can see into the pan without
having to lift the lid.
▯ Cook with a small amount of water. That saves energy.
Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
▯ Switch to a lower heat setting when possible. As a
result, you save energy.
9
Getting Started
Note: Depending on the appliance model, individual
details and colors may differ.

In the event of a power failure, the burners may be lit with a match. Press the control knob for the selected burner and turn it counterclockwise to the highest power setting.
2.
Hold a lit lighter or a match against the burner.
Electronic Ignition
The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners.
There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter.
1.
Press the control knob for the selected burner and turn it counterclockwise to the symbol .
Sparks are produced on all burners while you are
pressing and holding the control knob. The burner
ignites.
2.
Release the control knob.
3.
Turn the control knob to the required position.
If the burner does not ignite, turn it off and repeat the
steps described above. This time, hold the control knob
down longer (up to 10 seconds).
9 WARNING
If the burner does not turn on after 15 seconds, turn
off the control knob and open the door or window in
the room. Wait at least a minute before igniting the
burner again.
Flame Failure Safety System
Your cooktop is equipped with a safety system
(thermocouple) that cuts off the gas when the burners
are accidentally turned off.
To ensure that this device is active:
1.
Turn on the burner as usual.
2.
Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
down firmly for 4seconds after lighting the flame.
Typical Flame Characteristics
The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with
no yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It should
burn completely around the burner cap.
Checking Flame Characteristics:
Yellow flames:
Further adjustment is required.
Yellow tips on outer cones:
Normal for LP Gas.
Soft blue flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.
▯ If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that
the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After
adjustment, retest.
▯ Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-
up. Allow unit to operate 4to 5 minutes and reevaluate before making adjustments.
▯ Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange
flame during initial use. This should disappear with
use. Check burner to make sure port holes are not
obstructed. If the ports are clogged ~ "Before Calling
for Service" on page 21
Note: An audible “pop” may be heard when the burner is turned off manually. The “popping” may be louder with LP gas than with natural gas. This is normal.
Turning off a burner
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the
“off” position.
9 WARNING
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, turn
the control knob of the burner to the “off” position
and do not try to relight it for at least 1minute.
Note: It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the igniters are dirty, this may cause ignition issues. Clean the igniters regularly with a small non-metallic brush. Take care to prevent the igniters from suffering any heavy impacts.
13
General Notes
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner
is operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odors. This does not pose any risk and does not indicate
a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-colored flame is normal. This is caused by the
presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilled liquids, etc.

given applies when cooking four portions.
The cooking times and heat settings may vary depending
