IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
Safety InstructionsOperating InstructionsCare and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service
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 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 by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the cooktop gas shut-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
cooktop installers or service technicians.
■Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
service should be referred to a qualified
technician.
■Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic
path and out of drafty locations to prevent
pilot outage and poor air circulation.
■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, threeprong outlet in accordance with the
National Electrical Code. Do not use an
extension cord with this appliance.
■Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving them
where children can reach them.
■Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the cooktop before
operating it to prevent fire or smoke
damage should the packaging material
ignite.
■Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted
by a qualified service technician or installer.
This counter unit, as shipped from the
factory, can only be operated with natural
gas. Do not try to operate it with LP
(bottled) gas unless you follow the
Installation Instructions packed with your
cooktop. See LP Gas Adjustments.
■Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a cooktop is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
■Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the cooktop.
4
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■
CAUTION:
should not be stored in cabinets above a
cooktop—children climbing on the cooktop
to reach items could be seriously injured.
■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your cooktop.
■Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your cooktop.
■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 oven surfaces
and may cause severe burns.
■Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the cooktop.
■For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your cooktop.
Items of interest to children
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service
■Do not place hot cookware on the glass
cooktop (on some models). This could
cause glass to break.
■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.
■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 wellfitting 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 foam-type fire extinguisher.
■Do not store flammable materials near
a cooktop.
■Do not store or use combustible materials,
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 near
the cooktop.
■Do not operate the burner without all
burner parts in place.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
Safety InstructionsOperating InstructionsCare and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large
enough to contain the food properly. 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.
■Always use the
the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
■Never leave the surface burners
unattended at high flame settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
■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. Such cloths
can catch fire on a hot burner.
■When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for cooktop cooking.
■To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, turn cookware handles toward the
side or back of the cooktop without
extending over adjacent burners.
■Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
■Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
■If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or as
fats melt slowly.
LITE
position when igniting
■Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if
the wok has a round metal ring that 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.
■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 the 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.
■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■Never try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat
is cool.
■When flaming foods are under the hood,
turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may
spread the flames.

SURFACE BURNERS
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive
flame is hazardous.
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service
■Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
■Keep all plastics away from the surface
burners.
■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.
■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 them.
■Never clean the cooktop surface when it is
hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes
and wet cloths could cause steam burns if
used on a hot surface.
■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
on or near your cooktop
■Don’t use aluminum foil to line burner
bowls. Misuse could result in a fire hazard
or damage to the cooktop.
■Do not cover or block the area around the
cooktop knobs. This area must be kept
clear for proper ventilation and burner
performance.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
LP CONVERSION KIT
Your cooktop is shipped from the factory set to operate only with Natural Gas.
If you wish to use your cooktop with
Liquefied Petroleum Gas, you must follow
the Installation Instructions packed with your

■
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
to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when
lighting burners this way. Burners in use when
an electrical power failure occurs will continue
to operate normally.
■
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.
■
Check to be sure the burner you turn 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.
Simmer and Power Burners
The left front and rear burners are best
for smaller pans and cooking operations
requiring carefully controlled simmering
conditions.
(on some models)
How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the
flames extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you
reduce heat. The flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware
you are using.
The front right burner is a high power
burner for larger pans and fast boiling
operations.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.

Wok This Way
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok,
available at your local retail stores, or use the
Wok Holder accessory with traditional round
bottomed woks. The Wok Holder accessory,
model JXWK, can be ordered from your
appliance dealer.
The Wok Holder fits on top of the
cooktop grate to provide support and
proper air circulation for traditional
round bottom woks only. Do not use flat
bottomed woks with the Wok Holder.
Cookware
Aluminum:
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in
an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with
tight fitting lids when cooking with
minimum amounts of water.
Enamelware:
the enamel of some cookware may

recommendations for cooking methods.
Medium-weight cookware is
Under some conditions,
Do not use a wok on any other support
ring. 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 unless you are using the
Wok Holder. You could be seriously
burned if the wok tipped over.
Glass:
There are two types of glass
cookware: those for oven use only
and those for cooktop cooking
(saucepans, coffee and tea pots).
Glass conducts heat very slowly.

A slight electrical shock might result
which could cause you to knock over hot
cookware.
Burner Grates
Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service
When replacing the grates, be sure
they’re positioned securely over the
burners.
Porcelain enamel burner grates should
be washed regularly and, of course, after
spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. You may also use abrasive
cleaners and steel wool pads to clean
burner grates. Dry the grates with a cloth—
don’t put them back on the cooktop wet.
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 several hours or overnight. Wash,
rinse well, and dry.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acidresistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish.
(on some models)
To prevent rusting, apply a light coating of cooking
oil to 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.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a
dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away.
When the surface has cooled, wash with soap
and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Glass Cooktop
To 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.
Stainless Steel
Clean with warm sudsy water, a stainless
steel cleaner such as Kleen King®, or an
all-purpose liquid or spray cleaner.
Always scrub in the direction of the
grain. Rinse thoroughly with a sponge
or cloth and clean water. Dry with a soft,
clean cloth.
(on some models)
(on some models)
Do not use a soap-filled steel wool pad; it will
scratch the surface.
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.
