Important Safety Instructions
IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
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.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by venting with an open window or using the ventilation fan.
When You Get Your Cooktop
When you get your cooktop, have the installer show you the location of the gas cut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
• Have your cooktop installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance
with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.
• Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding
prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
• Be sure all packing materials are r emoved from the cooktop before operating it, to prevent fire or
smoke damage should the packing material ignite.
• Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) which is to be used.
Your cooktop can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooktop unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.

Using Your Cooktop
• Do not leave children alone or unattended where a cooktop is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
• CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop—
children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
• When raising or lowering the vent, keep fingers away from all vent parts; assure that cookware, pans and handles will not be struck and tipped when raising the vent.
• Do not operate or clean your cooktop if the glass is broken or cracked. Cleaning solutions
and spillovers could penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Call for service immediately if the cooktop glass breaks or cracks.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
• Do not clean the cooktop with flammable or volatile cleaning fluids.
• Do not clean the cooktop when the appliance is in use.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp
instruments, or with rings and other jewelry.
• Never use the cooktop as a cutting board.
• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot surfaces and may cause severe burns.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam­type fire extinguisher.
• Do not store flammable materials near the cooktop. Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on or near the cooktop.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Use only dry pot holders—
moist or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or center of the cooktop without extending over adjacent burner or vent area.

Important Safety Instructions
• Always turn the surface burners to off before removing the cookware.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at high flame setting.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
• Use least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too
full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
• Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers, and large enough to cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
• Do not place hot cookware on the glass cooktop. This could cause glass to break.
• Keep all plastics away from burners.
• To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at the off position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove a grate.
• If the cooktop is located near a window,
do not use long curtains which could blow over the burners and create a fire hazard.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop
and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
• Do not cover or block the area around the cooktop knobs. This area must be kept clear for
proper ventilation and burner performance.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.
• Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring which is placed over the burner grate to support the wok.
This ring acts as a heat trap which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE
TO YOUR OLD ONE?
Y our new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used to cooking with induction or other electric surface units, you will notice some differences when you use gas burners.
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surface unit you have.
The following chart will help you to understand the differences between gas burner cooktops and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
Type of Cooktop Description How It Works Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
gas burners use pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change either LP gas heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away. or natural gas.
Radiant Electric coils Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on (Glass Ceramic) under a glass- the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to Cooktop ceramic cooktop. continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if
you want cooking to stop.
Induction High frequency Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
induction coils produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away under a glass and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control surface. off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Electric Coil Flattened metal Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best
tubing containing cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of electric resistance warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change wire suspended heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to over a drip pan. continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.
Solid Disk Solid cast iron Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good
disk sealed to the cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The cooktop surface. disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

USING YOUR COOKTOP

Electric Ignition

Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.
The igniters make clicking sounds and spark even when only a single burner is being turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the igniters are clicking.
In case of a power outage, you can light the surface burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme caution when lighting
burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
8
To Light a Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to desired position from HIGH to LOW.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob
in either direction to adjust the flame size.
To turn a burner off, turn the knob
clockwise, as far as it will go, to the OFF position.
• The center and two rear burners are best for smaller pans and cooking operations requiring carefully controlled simmering conditions. The two front burners are the high power burners for larger pans and fast boiling operations.
• Do not operate a 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.
• Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one you want to use.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER
LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted heat and only serves to heat the handle.
Auto Relight
The burners on this cooktop relight automatically if the flame goes out. This helps prevent the inconvenience of having to manually relight a burner. As with electric ignition, all of the burner igniters spark while a burner is relighting. Do not touch any of the burners when the igniters are clicking.

Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids for cooking with minimum amounts of water.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware— those for oven use only and those for surface cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas cooktops.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties, and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if they are used at medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

COOKTOP VENT SYSTEM
The built-in vent system helps remove cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.
Continuous use of the vent system helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid, reducing cooking odors and soiling moisture that normally creates a frequent need for cleaning.
Raising or Lowering the Vent
To raise the vent, turn the VENT knob to the
RAISE/LOWER position. The vent will rise to the fully extended position. There is no intermediate position.
To lower the vent, turn the VENT knob again to the RAISE/LOWER position. The vent will then descend.
The vent fan will only operate in the fully extended position.
CAUTION: Be careful when raising or lowering
the vent. Be sure pots, pot handles and other objects are clear of the vent cover and cannot be struck or tipped by the vent being raised. Keep hands and fingers away from all vent parts.
How to Operate the Vent System
Turn the FAN knob to HIGH position to turn it on. If you continue turning the FAN knob, you can select
a fan speed between HIGH and LOW. The FAN knob does not have to be turned to OFF
before the vent is lowered. The fan will automatically turn off when the
vent is lowered.
If the fan was not turned off when the vent was lowered, it will automatically come on at the previously selected speed when the vent is fully raised.

CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it.
Before cleaning any part of your cooktop, be sure all burners are off and DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE COOKTOP at the fuse box or circuit breaker panel, or pull the cooktop power plug, located beneath the cooktop and inside the cabinets.
Glass Cooktop
T o keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any spills as they occur. This will keep them from burning on and becoming more difficult to remove.
As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass surface with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy water; rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can use any liquid household detergent.
Do not use abrasive materials such as metal pads, cleansing powder and scouring pads—they may scratch the surface. Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach or chemical oven cleaners.
CAUTION: DO NOT COOK ON OR CLEAN A BROKEN OR CRACKED COOKTOP. Cleaning
solutions and spillovers penetrating the cooktop can create a risk of electric shock. Call for a service technician immediately.
Grease Filters
The efficiency of your downdraft depends on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of cooking you do. Grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the downdraft without the filters in place.
To remove: Lift up and pull the bottom out. Remove the left filter first, then slide the right filter to the left and remove it.
To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent solution. Light brushing may be used to remove imbedded soil. Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing. Filters may be cleaned by placing in dishwasher, although some slight color fading may occur after several washings.
With careful handling, the filter will last for years. If replacement becomes necessary, order the part from your dealer.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning. To remove knob, pull it straight up. Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Avoid getting water down into the knob stem holes.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Burner Assembly
The burner assemblies should be wiped clean often. Turn all controls OFF before removing burner parts.
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the top of the burner is removed. Be careful not to push in any surface unit controls while the top of a burner is removed. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.
The burner grates and caps can be lifted off, making them easy to clean. Removing them gives you access to the burner base and burner bowl. Wash the grate and cap in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Dry them with a cloth—don’t reassemble them wet. When replacing these parts, be sure they fit securely into position over the burners.
Burner grate
Burner cap
Burner bowl
Slot
Burner base
Burner Grates
Cast-iron burner grates should be washed regularly and, of course, after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth—don’t put them back on the cooktop wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well, and dry.
To prevent rusting, apply a light coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.
Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care
you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.
Do not operate a 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.

DUCT FITTINGS
Use the char t at the right to compute maximum permissible lengths for duct r uns to outdoors.
NOTE: Do not exceed maximum permissible equivalent lengths!
Flexible ducting:
If flexible metal ducting is used, all the equivalent feet values in the table should be doubled. The flexible metal duct should be straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.
Do NOT use flexible plastic ducting. NOTE: Any home ventilation system, such as a
cooktop with a downdraft exhaust mechanism, may interrupt the proper flow of combustion air and exhaust required by fireplaces, gas furnaces, gas water heaters and other naturally vented systems. To minimize the chance of interruption of such naturally vented systems, follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by NFPA and ASHRAE.

Electrical Supply:
The built-in gas downdraft cooktop features pilotless electric ignition for energy savings and reliability. It operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz power supply. A separate circuit, protected by a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker, is required.
• A properly grounded 3-prong receptacle should be located within reach of cooktop’s four foot power cord.
IMPORTANT : (Please read carefully.) FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded and has correct polarity.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, Cut Or Remove The Third (ground) Prong From The Power Cord.
Do not use an extension cord.
POWER SUPPLY LOCATIONS
Gas Supply:
These cooktops are designed to operate on natural gas at 4of water column pressure or on LP gas at 10of water column pressure.
• These cooktops are shipped from the factory set for natural gas. If you decide to use this cooktop with LP gas, conversion adjustments must be made by a ser vice technician or other qualified person.
•The pressure regulator must be connected in series with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line regardless of type of gas being used.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator must be no more than 10water column pressure for natural gas and 14water column pressure for LP gas.
• When checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1greater than the regulator output setting.
If the regulator is set for 4of water column pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5.
If the regulator is set for 10of water column pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 11.
For ease of installation, and if local codes permit, the gas supply line into the cooktop should be 1/2or 3/4ID flexible metal appliance connector, thr ee to five feet long.
NOTE: Purchase a new flexible line. DO NOT USE AN OLD PREVIOUSLY USED LINE.
