Do not attempt to install or operate your appliance until you have read the safety precautions in this manual. Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with a Warning or Caution based on the risk type.
Definitions
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
IMPORTANT

6 Safety
General Precautions
IMPORTANT
•Begin by ensuring proper installation and grounding of the appliance by a qualified technician according to the accompanying Installation Instructions. Have the installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located so that you know how and where to turn off power. Also, have the installer show you the location of the gas supply. If you smell gas, do not use the range. Immediately turn off the gas supply at the shut off valve, disconnect electrical power to the unit at the fuse or junction box and contact the gas supplier or qualified appliance technician.
•Ensure that the range is used only by those individuals who are able to operate it properly.
•Use the range only for cooking tasks expected of a home appliance as outlined in this manual.
•Properly clean and maintain as recommended in this manual, cleaning only the parts listed.
•Use only dry potholders to avoid steam burns when removing hot cookware.
•In the event that a burner flame goes out and gas escapes, open a window or door. Wait at least 5 minutes before attempting to use the range.
•Select utensils of the proper size, material and construction for the particular type of cooking being done. Select utensils that are large enough to contain food without boil-overs or spillovers. Choose pans with easily grasped handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not use utensils with loose handles. Avoid using pans that are too heavy to lift safely. Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Certain types of glass, ceramic, and earthenware utensils are suitable for use only in an oven and not in cooktop applications.
•When cooking, set the burner controls so that the flame heats only the bottom of the utensil and does not extend up the sides of the utensil.
•When deep fat frying, be certain that the pan is large enough to contain the desired volume of food without overflow caused by bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer unattended. Avoid deep fat frying of moist or frost-covered foods. Foods with high water content may cause spattering or spilling of the hot fat. Heat fat slowly and stir together any combinations of oils and fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the fat to temperatures above the flash point.
•Always turn pan handles to the side or back of the cooktop. Do not turn handles towards the room where they are easily hit. Handles should not extend over adjacent burners.
•Always check the positions of the control knobs to make sure the cooktop is off when you are finished cooking.
•Before performing any service, turn off the gas supply by closing the gas shut-off valve and turning off the electrical power supply.
Safety 7
IMPORTANT
•Always light each burner prior to placing a utensil on the burner grate. Also, turn the control knob to the “off” position before removing a utensil from the burner grate.
•Always clean the cooktop cautiously. If using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop has cooled sufficiently to prevent steam burns. Also, some cleaners can produce harmful or unpleasant fumes if applied to hot surfaces.
•Clean only those parts listed in this manual.
•Keep any ventilation filters clean to avoid grease fires.
•Always set utensils gently onto the grates and center them so that they are wellbalanced.
•Always keep the cooktop surface clean and dry.
•This unit is designed as a cooking appliance. Never use it for warming or heating a room.
•Before performing any service, turn off the gas supply by closing the gas shut-off valve and turning off electrical power supply.
•Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of appliance is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
•Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching into the oven.
•Position oven racks in desired locations when the oven is cool. (If a rack must be repositioned after the oven is already hot, be certain that the potholder does not contact a hot heating element in the oven.)
•Before Self-Cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and insert, oven racks, rack glides, convection fan filter and any other utensils.
•In the event that a burner flame goes out and gas escapes, turn off the gas control and open a window or door. Wait at least 5 minutes before attempting to use the cooktop.
8 Safety
CAUTION
•Do not use the range for warming or heating the room.
•Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the range is in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the range. Do not let children play with the range.
•Do not store items of interest to children above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.
•Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the range.
•Do not store combustible, flammable or explosive materials in the range or in adjacent cabinets.
•Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc., in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
•Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in literature accompanying this appliance. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.
•Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Smother any flames with a lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease can be extinguished with baking soda or a multipurpose chemical or foam extinguisher.
•Do not allow potholders to touch gas burners. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth as a potholder.
•Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings on any part of the oven.
•Do not clean the door gasket, because rubbing, moving or in any way damaging the gasket, may eliminate the required tight door seal.
•DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
•Do not block or obstruct the holes beneath the control knobs. Blocking these holes may affect burner operation and may result in a hazard.
•When using the cooktop, do not touch the grates, burner caps, burner bases, or any other parts in proximity to the flame. These components may be hot enough to cause burns.
•If the range is near a window, do not use long curtains as a window treatment. They can blow over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
•Do not cover the burners and grates with anything except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers should not be used.
•Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby food jars and cans. Pressure buildup may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
•Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners or detergents on this appliance, as these may cause permanent damage. Do not use aerosol cleaners, as these may be flammable or cause corrosion of metal parts.
•Do not use or attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power failure.
•Do not slide cookware across the grates. Sliding may damage the finish of the grates. Lift utensils to reposition them.
•Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain on the oven cell surfaces. The porcelain finish may stain.
•Do not touch the range top or backguard with your bare hands during all cooking and self cleaning modes. Venting from the oven may cause the backguard to become hot.

PROPER BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Care & Cleaning.
BURNER LOCATIONS
All Electrolux Icon range cooktops are equipped with sealed burners. Burner configurations vary by the model number of your range. See Figure 2 for a detailed burner layout for your model.

SEALED BURNER CONFIGURATIONS
On E30DF74EPS ranges, there are a total of four burners, including one burner rated at a maximum output of 17,000 BTU/HR, two burners rated at a maximum of 15,000 BTU/HR and one burner rated at a maximum output of 8,500 BTU/HR. The knobs are grouped in twos. The left two knobs operate the left two burners, and the right two knobs control the two right burners.
On E36DF76EPS and E48DF76EPS ranges, there are a total of six burners, including two burners rated at a maximum output of 17,000 BTU/HR, two burners rated at a maximum of 15,000 BTU/HR and two burners rated at a maximum output of 8,500 BTU/HR. The knobs are positioned to correspond with the burner layout.
BRASS BURNER RINGS
All burners are attached to the cooktop by retaining nuts. Gaskets around the undersides of the burner bases ensure that the burners are sealed, thereby preventing any liquid spills from entering the cooktop chassis. All spills remain on the surface of the cooktop.
The brass burner heads spread the flame evenly around the burner perimeters. The burner heads must seat properly in the burner bases to enable proper cooktop operation. To ensure proper seating, positioning tabs have been placed on the bottom of each burner head to slide into corresponding notches in the fixed burner base.
BURNER IGNITORS
Figure 3
A burner igniter is located on each gas burner base. When a control knob is rotated more than 90 degrees counterclockwise, the ignitor will spark and the selected burner will ignite. Additionally, due to Vantage Flame™, the automatic reignition feature, the igniters will spark automatically if a flame should blow out or be severely distorted by a draft or by a ventilation system. Burner igniters must always be kept clean and dry to function properly. Dirty or wet igniters will result in constant sparking, even if there is a flame present. See Figure 3.
Burner Assembly
CooktopFeatures/SurfaceCooking 13
CONTROL KNOBS
The control knobs provided with this range are designed for ease of use and longevity. The “D” shaped design of the knob shaft ensures proper orientation when reinstalling the knob. Located beneath each knob is a bezel ring that mounts to the range.
PLACEMENT OF BURNER GRATES
Place grates on the porcelain coated spill tray. See Figure 4. Be sure they are located correctly inside the stainless steel frame.
IMPORTANT
Do not slide the grates on the stainless steel frame. Doing so can damage the surface.
FLAME ADJUSTMENT
Figure 4 |
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
*Flame Size |
Type of Cooking |
High Flame |
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling |
Medium Flame |
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam |
Low Flame |
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew |
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Correct |
RIGHT |
Incorrect |
WRONG |
Figure 5 |
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
