IIMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR GAS COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust flame size so
it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the burner flame to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve efficiency.
Know which knob or key controls each surface
heating area. Place cookware with food on the
cooking area before turning it on. Turn the
cooking area off before removing the cookware.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware may expose a portion of the
flame to direct contact and may result in the
ignition of clothing or other items. Using the
proper cookware on the cooking areas will
improve efficiency.
Always turn knob to the full LITE position when
igniting top burners. Visually check that burner
has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface
burners.
Never leave surface burners unattended at high
heat settings — Boil overs cause smoking and
greasy spill overs that may ignite, or a pan that
has boiled dry may melt.
Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cook top use.
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot burner or element in oven.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and
utensils before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always
cook in proper cookware and always use the
oven racks.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Control locations of the gas surface burners
Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with
different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in
larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The small simmer burner is best used for simmering
delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right rear
burner position on the cooktop. The standard burner can be
used for most surface cooking needs. The standard b urners
are located at the left front and left rear positions on the
cooktop.
The power burners are best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when prep aring
larger quantities of food. The power burner is located at the
right front position on the cooktop. Regardless of size,
always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and
type of food being prepared. Sele ct a burn er and fla me size
appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend
beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Assembly of the surface burner caps and burner
grates
It is very important to make sure that all of the surface
burner caps and surface burner grates are installed
correctly and at the correct locations.
Figure 1: Proper grate installation
1. Remove all packing material from cooktop area.
2. Discard all packing material (if applicable).
3. Unpack burner grates and position on the cooktop.
• The word REAR is stamped on the back of the burner
grates to help assure that the proper end of the grates
are placed to the rear of the cooktop.
• The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on
the cooktop.
• To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down
and align into the cooktop recess.
• Grates should rest flush against each other and
against the sides of the recess.
Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas orifice holder opening.
Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place
whenever the surface burners are in use.

IMPORTANT
NOTE
Operating the gas surface controls
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob in and turn counterclock-
wise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (see
figures 1 & 2). Note: All four electronic surface ignitors
will spark at the same time. However, only the burner
you are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired
flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a
particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings to
adjust the flame as needed. Do not cook with the
surface control knob in the LITE position. (The elec
tronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in
the LITE position.)
-
Setting proper surface burner flame size
For most cooking: Start on the highest control setting and
then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the
recommendations 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.
Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
• Start most foods
• Bring water to a boil
• Pan broiling
• Maintain slow boil
• Thicken sauces and
gravies
• Steaming foods
• Keep foods cooking,
poaching and stewing
Figure 2: Operating the gas knob
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually . To light a surface burner , hold a
lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface
control knob to LITE. After burner lights turn the knob to
desired setting.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the
range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if
placed too close to a flame. Do not operate the burne r for
an extended period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip withou t coo kwa r e
to absorb the heat.
IncorrectCorrect
Figure 3: Gas flame adjustment
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned by the gas flame.
Do not straddle cookware over two cooking su rfa c e s
unless the cookware is designed for that purpose such as
griddles.
Settings based on using medium weight metal or
aluminum pans. Settings may vary using other types of
pans. The color of the flame is key to proper burner
adjustment. A good flame is clear , blue, and hardly visible
in a well lit room. Each cone of the flame should be
steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
