COOKTOP USE
Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of
the pan.
Turn off all controls when not cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural
gas. Ifyou wish to use LP gas, an LP Gas Conversion Kit is
included with your new cooktop. See the instructions included
with the LP Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this
conversion.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
The large burners (10,300 Btu/h) provide the highest heat setting,
and are ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using
large pots and pans. The small burners (3,400 Btu/h and
5,600 Btu/h) allow more accurate simmer control at the lowest
setting, and are ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food, using
smaller pots and pans.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner while using empty cookware or without
any cookware on the grate.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does
not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. Ifyou do not hear the igniter
click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or
blown household fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the
valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained
repair specialist.
Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the igniter will become grounded and
occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a
trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see
whether it is wired with the correct polarity.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control
knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following
chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
LITE • Light the burner.
HI • Start food cooking.
• Bring liquid to a boil.
Medium • Hold a rapid boil.
Between HI & LO
LO • Keep food warm.

I REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop m
Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting. Do not use a grill or griddle accessory during a power
failure, as the vent fan will not operate.
• Quickly brown or sear food.
• Fry or saute foods.
• Cook soups, sauces and gravies.
• Stew or steam foods.
• Simmer.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is
cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
"General Cleaning" section.
A
To Clean:
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to "General Cleaning" section,
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown, Do
not enlarge or distort the port, Do not use a wooden
toothpick, If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist,
4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins on
the cap are properly aligned with the burner base.

Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening, keep spillovers out of the
gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.

B. Burner ports
Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame 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.

5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a
well-fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base they 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 characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.

It is normal for the surface of white or biscuit ceramic glass to
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As
the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep
it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On
cooktops with white or biscuit ceramic glass, soils and stains
may be more visible, and may require more cleaning and care.
Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. For
more information, see "General Cleaning" section.
• Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
• For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause
pitting and permanent marks.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part
of the entire cooktop.
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 • Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Ceramic glass • 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.

Heats quickly, but unevenly.
A core or base of aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even
heating.
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
• Center the canner on the grate.
• Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
• For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.
