IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, injury to persons,
or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
This appliance is intended for
•
normal family household use
only.
Be sure your appliance
•
is properly installed and
grounded by a qualied
technician. Have the installer
show you where the gas shut-
o valve is located.
Do not repair or replace any
•
part of the appliance unless
specically recommended
in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred
to a qualied technician.
For proper lighting and
•
performance of the burners,

Wait at least 5 minutes before
using the cooktop.
Do not obstruct the ow of
•
combustion and ventilation
air.
Do not use aluminium foil to
•
line any part of the cooktop.
If the cooktop is near a
•
window, be certain that
curtains or any other window
covering do not blow over or
near the burners.
Never use this appliance as
•
a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide
poisoning.
To reduce the risk of injury to
persons, in the event of a grease
re, observe the following:
Flaming grease outside of

Fire Hazard
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on
the grate.
Do not touch the burner when the igniters are clicking (sparking).
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
GAS CONTROL KNOB SETTING
ELECTRIC GAS IGNITION
The gas burner uses an electric ignition device located near each burner that by
means of spark igniters ensure its surface lights automatically.
9
The electronic auto re-ignition, lights the surface burners when the control knobs
are turned at any valve rotation that admits sucient gas ow to support a ame.
If any burner ame goes out due to a draft or other reason, the igniter automatically
sparks on all burners to relight the ame.
NOTE: This feature is provided as a convenience and is not intended as a safety
feature.
To set:
Push and turn knob counterclockwise, all (4 or 5) spark plugs will generate a clicking
sound (spark), however only the burner with the control knob turned from HI _ LO
will produce a ame and reignite automatically if the ame goes out.
GAS BURNERS
The gas burners design of these cooktop models, allow a pleasing option for cooking
where size, power and simmering are a primary concern.
BURNERS WITH ONE-RING FLAME
This gas burner is designed for a wide range of pan
sizes. The use of this burner is very simple; just
push and turn the knob counterclockwise and
set to the desired position from HI to LO heat
level (see chart guide when setting heat level). Its
ignition device is automatic re-ignition.

LO
BURNERS WITH TWO-RING FLAME
This special burner has two separate ame rings to provide a real full heat regulation
from high power to simmering.
To set:
1. Push and turn counterclockwise the knob
between HI-LO main ame, when the burner
is turned on, the main ame and the Simmer
ame will always light and stay on.
2. Setting heat level main ame from HI-LO
power.
Simmer setting
Turn the knob counterclockwise on HI-LO
simmering position. The simmer ame setting will
use only the center ame.

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 ames should not utter or blow away from the burner. The inner cone of the
ame should be between ” and ” long.
SUPER SEALED SURFACE BURNERS
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the ow 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 ames.
Always clean the part after a spillover and routinely remove and clean according to
the “General Cleaning” section.
11
Burner base and injector
1/2” to 3/4”
COOKTOP BURNER
Gas must ow freely throughout the injector orice 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 orice opening. Protect it during cleaning.
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 ames occasionally. A good ame is blue in color, 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:
Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce
noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface.
Failure to do so can result in moderate or minor bolily injury.
12
CAUTION
Toxic Fume Hazard
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool.
Failure to do so can result in serious bodily injury.
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 free of cleaning agents and
any other material from entering the injector
orice).
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 qualied repair technician.
13
COOKWARE
IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element
or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a at bottom, straight sides, a
well tting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough
nishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum 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 aects cooking results. A nonstick nish has the same
characteristics as its base material.
For example, aluminum cookware with a non-stick nish will take on the properties
of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.
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:
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 aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even heating.
Heats slowly and evenly. Good for browning and frying. Maintains
14
MATCH PAN DIAMETER TO FLAME SIZE
FLAME TOO LARGE
FOR PAN SIZE
FIT PROPERLY
The ame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use
small pans with high ame settings as the ames 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 the pan over the
burner.
Use a Lid That Fits Properly
A well-tting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat, heavy bottom pans provide
even heat and stability.
BALANCED PAN
Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same requirements as described
above. After bringing contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to maintain
a boil or pressure (for pressure canners/cookers).
