WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell.

Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA.

For more information, contact your gas supplier.

If a gas leak is detected, follow the “What to do if you smell gas” instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following:

■ WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop.

■ CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the cooktop – children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

■Proper Installation – The cooktop, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1. Be sure the cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

■This cooktop is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

■Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the cooktop.

■Injuries may result from the misuse of the cooktop such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the top surface.

■Maintenance – Keep cooktop area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

■Storage on the cooktop – Flammable materials should not be stored on or near surface units.

■Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

COOKTOP USE

Cooktop Controls

WARNING

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. If you 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.

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	■	Quickly brown or sear food.
	■ Fry or sauté foods.
	■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies.
	■ Stew or steam foods.
LO	■	Keep food warm.
	■	Simmer.

REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

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. If you 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.

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.

Sealed Surface Burners

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.

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.

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.

Ceramic Glass

(on some models)

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.

Home Canning

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.

Cookware

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.

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	■ Heats slowly and evenly.
