Operating Instructions
Using Gas Safely
Gas fuels and their uses can cause minor exposure to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primarily from
incomplete combustion. Significant exposure to these substances
can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Properly adjusted burners
with a blue, rather than yellow, flame will minimize the
incomplete combustion. Venting with a hood, or open window
will further minimize exposure.
The maximum gas supply pressure may not exceed 14-inches
u
W.C.P. (½ PSI)
Never
u
Explosion, fire or injury could result.
Know where your main gas shut off valve is located.
u
Use proper pan size. Select stable cookware with flat,
u
bottoms.
Cookware should be large enough to contain the food and
u
avoid spillovers. This will save cleaning time and avoid
accumulations of food debris, which can ignite.
Use pans with handles that remain cool and are easy to hold.
u
Always turn the burner controls off before removing
u
cookware.
use a match or other flame to locate a gas leak.
How to Light a Burner
Your cook top burners have electric ignition, thus avoiding
constantly burning pilot lights. Push the control knob down and
turn it counter- clockwise to the first mark to ignite. This is your
highest setting. After the burner ignites, you may turn the knob
counter-clockwise to adjust the flame setting. To turn the burner
off, turn the knob clockwise to the symbol .
In case of a power failure, you can light the burners with a
match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the
control knob 90 degrees counterclockwise. Use extreme caution
when lighting burners this way. Burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
4
u
Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time
without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may
chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
u
Check to be sure that you have turned on the correct burner. Be sure the burners and grates are cool before touching or
leaving a potholder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
u
Be sure to turn the control knob off when you finish cooking.
How to Select Flame Size
u
For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up
the sides of the cookware.
u
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
u
The flame size should always match the size of your
cookware.
u
Flames larger than the bottom of your cookware are wasted
and may cause burns by overheating the handles.
Simmer and Power Burners
The left and right rear burners are best for midsize pans and
cooking operations not requiring extreme highs or lows. The left
front is for carefully controlled simmering conditions. The center
burner is a high power burner for larger pans and fast boiling
operations. The right front is the "Multi-Use" burner, just right
for every thing.

Cleaning and Caring For your Gas cook top
Your gas cook top surface is made of stainless steel with glass
enameled cast iron grates. Stainless steel is tough, but, don't stand
on it or drop heavy objects on it. Use care when placing the
grates to avoid scratching. Avoid thermal shock when dealing
with the enameled burners; they prefer a slow cooling down
period, so use caution.
Grates and Burner Caps
Cooled grates and burner caps may be washed with hot soapy
water . If needed, mild abrasives may be used. Allow grates and
caps to dry well before replacing them. Avoid dropping the grates
or subjecting them to, sudden cooling as this may cause the
enamel to chip.
