Gas Cooktop Operation
Gas Control Knob Setting
Electric ignitors automatically light the surface burners
when control knobs are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on
the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or
without cookware on the grate.
To set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All four surface burners will click.
Only the burner with the control knob turned to
LITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob anywhere between HI and LO.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting
heat levels.
Model with automatic re-ignition
This appliance is equipped for electronic autoreignition by means of a spark igniter located near
each burner.
The burners are designed to light at any valve rotation
that admits sufficient gas flow to support a flame and
to automatically relight following a loss of flame due to
a draft or other adverse condition.
This feature is provided as a convenience and is not
intended as a safety feature.
The cooktop uses an electronic igniter to light the
burner.
Each burner has its own igniter that sparks when any
burner is turned on.
When the igniters are clicking (sparking) do not touch
burners.
If any burner flame blows out, the electronic igniter
automatically sparks on all burners to relight the
flame.

Use & Care Manual
Burner Use Suggestions
Use the right front, right rear or left rear burners for
simmering, or for cooking smaller quantities of food
requiring small cookware. Use the left front POWER
Burner for bringing liquids to a rapid boil, cooking
large quantities of food, or for deep-fat frying requiring
large cookware.
The Burner Flames
Turn each burner on. Flames should be blue in color
with no trace of yellow. The burner flames should not
flutter or blow away from the burner. The inner cone of
the flame should be between 1/2" and 3/4" long.
Super Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap and gas spreader
Always keep the burner cap and gas spreader in
place when using a surface burner. A clean burner
cap and spreader will help prevent poor ignition and
uneven flames. Always clean the part after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean according to the
"General Cleaning" section.
Burner base and injector
Gas must flow freely throughout the injector orifice to
light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not
allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the injector orifice opening.
Protect it during cleaning.
-1/2” to 3/4”
Model COGB ENGLISH
Be sure when lighting the burner:
• Gas spreader pin is properly aligned with burner
base slot.
• Cap pin is properly aligned with gas spreader slot.
Burner ports
Check burner flames occasionally. A good flame is
blue in colour, not yellow.
Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills,
food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter
the burner ports.
To Clean gas burner:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls
are off and cooktop are cool.
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and
clean according to cleaning section.
2. Remove the burner spreader.
Clean the gas tube opening and burner port
according to cleaning section.
3. Clean the burner base with a damp cloth (keep
the gas injector area tree of cleaning agents and
any other material from entering the injector
orifice).
4. Replace the burner spreader and cap, making
sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with
the slots.
5. Turn on the burner.
If the burner does not light, check cap and
spreader alignment. If the burner still does not
light, do not service the gas burner yourself.
Contact a trained repair specialist.

Cookware
IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot
surface cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight
sides, a well fitting lid and the material should be of
medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough finishes may
scratch the cooktop.
Aluminium and copper may be used as a core or base
in cookware. However, when used as a base it can
leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and
evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking
results. A nonstick finish has the same chara ct eristics
as its base material.
For example, aluminium cookware with a non-stick
finish will take on the properties of aluminium.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware
material characteristics.
Model COGB ENGLISH
Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size
The flame should be the same size as the bottom of
the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high
flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of
the pan. Oversize pans that span two burners are
placed front to rear, not side to side.
Use Balanced Pans
Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without
rocking. Center pan over burner.
Use a Lid That Fits Properly
A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat,
heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
Cookware Characteristics
Aluminum: Heats quickly and evenly.
Suitable for all types of cooking. Medium or heavy
thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
Cast Iron: Heats slowly and evenly.
Good for browning and frying. Maintains heat for slow
cooking.
Ceramic or Ceramic glass: Follow manufacturer's
instructions.
Heats slowly, but unevenly. Ideal results on low to
medium heat settings.
Copper: Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware: Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Use on low heat settings.
Porcelain enamel on steel or cast Iron: See
stainless steel or cast iron.
Stainless steel: Heats quickly, but unevenly.
A core or base of aluminium or copper on stainless
steel provides even heating.
