IMPORTANT SAFETY

|NSTRU

Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this guide are not meant to cover all possible conditions and

situations that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care

must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating

the appliance. Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or

manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.

Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels

in Case of Fire

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame, then turn on hood to remove

smoke and odor. * Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or

cookie sheet.

* NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan. Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry

chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

Read and follow all instructions before using this

appliance to prevent the potential risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuryor damage to the appliance as a

result of improper usage of the appliance. Use appliance

only for its intended purpose as described in this guide.

To Prevent Fire or

Smoke Damage

Be sure all packing materials are removed from the

appliance before operating it.

IMPORTANT SAFETY |NSTRUCT|ONS

Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and

materials. If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions

should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot surface may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed

containers which may cause them to burst. Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed

to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot.

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may melt or soften if left too close to a lighted surface burner.

To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface

burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited to

items which are used infrequently and which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance.

Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a gas odor is

detected, shut off the gas supply to the cooktop. Call your installer or local gas company to have the possible leak

checked. Never use a match or other flame to locate a

gas leak.

Child Safety

About Your Appliance

Do not use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cooking

utensils. Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, and areas facing the

cooktop.

Cooking Safety

Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface

burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that

the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn

burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.

Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive

flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above or beside the

appliance.

NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or isstill hot.

NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.

Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in and on itcan be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place,

out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be

allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit.

NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended

especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may

ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. De net use high heat for extended cooking operations.

NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface burner. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst

resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the

appliance.

Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should

never be used as potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance

parts.

Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool

before attempting to move or handle.

iMPORTANT SAFETY |NSTR N

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan.

Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under

the hood, turn the fan on. NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or

loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.

Deep Fat Frying

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before at-

tempting to move pan.

Utensil Safety

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily

tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be

unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat

frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials, and

spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, de net extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Always

turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached

by small children. Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil

and the appliance. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or

glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop usage without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow

manufacturer's instructions when using glass.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using

conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this

guide. Do not use element covers for the surface units or stovetop grills. The use of devices or accessories that are

not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and

reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

Cleaning Safety

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool

before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient

time to cool. Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns

if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if

applied to a hot surface.

important Safety Notice

and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of

California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and

requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed

substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or

liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these

substances can also be minimized by properly venting the burners to the outdoors.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes

from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released due to overheated

cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be harmful or fatal to birds.

Electrical Connection

Appliances which require electrical

power are equipped with a three= prong grounding plug which must

be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-hole 120 volt electrical outlet.

Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.

The three-prong grounding plug offers protection against

shock hazards. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD

GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG.

If an ungrounded, two-hole or other type electrical outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility of the

appliance owner to have the outlet replaced with a

properly grounded three=hole electrical outlet.

Suggested Cooking

Guidelines

The size and type of cookware, type and amount of food

and BTU of the burner will determine where to set the knob for cooking operations. Use the graphics printed

around the knobs as a guide. The following descriptions

will aid in choosing the setting that will give optimum

results: Hold or Warm: Food maintains a temperature above

140° Fwithout continuing to cook. Food is heated on a

higher flame size until it reaches this temperature and then the flame size is reduced. Never use a hold or warm

setting to reheat cold food. Be sure knob is adjusted to produce a stable flame. (:Usethe LOW setting or the

simmer burner to keep food warm.) Simmer: Food forms bubbles that barely break the

surface. Foods are between 185° F and 200° F.A simmer setting can also be used to steam or poach foods or

continue cooking covered foods. (:Adjust the knob between HIGH and LOW to obtain the desired simmer action.)

Slow Boil: Food forms bubbles at a moderate pace. A slow boil setting can also be used for most frying and for

maintaining the cooking of large amounts of liquids. (:Adjust the knob between HIGH and LOW to obtain the

desired boil action.) Boil: Liquid forms bubbles at a rapid pace. A fast boil

setting can be used to bring liquid to a boil, brown meat, stir fry, saute, and heat oil for frying before turning to a lower setting. The HIGH setting is always used to bring

liquids to a boil. Once the liquid boils, always reduce the flame size to the lowest setting that will maintain the boil

action. (Turn the knob to HIGH then adjust the flame size to fit the size of the pan.)

Setting the controls BOR.ERBASE

1. Place a pan on the burner grate. (To preserve the grate finish, do not operate the burners without a pan on the

grate to absorb the heat from the burner flame.)

2. Push in knob and turn immediately counterclockwise to the LIGHT setting.

, A clicking (:spark) sound will be heard and the burner

will light. (:All ignitors will spark when any surface

burner knob is turned on. However, only the selected burner will light.)

3. Turn knob to desired setting. Visually check setting to ensure proper flame size.

4. Do not leave cooktop unattended.

Operating During a Power

Failure

1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.

2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to the desired setting.

Sealed Burners

The sealed burners are secured to the cooktop and are not designed to be removed. Since the burners are sealed into

the cooktop, boilovers or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop.

However, the burners should be cleaned after each use. The head portion of the burner has a removable cap that is

easily removed for cleaning. (See page 6 for cleaning directions.:)

Burner caps must be correctly placed on the burner base for proper operation of the burner.

Nigh Performance Burner *

There is one high speed burner on your cooktop, located in

the right front position. This burner offers higher speed cooking that can be used to quickly bring water to a boil

and for large-quantity cooking.

Simmer Burner*

This burner is located in the center or left rear position. The

simmer burner offers a lower BTU flame for delicate sauces or melting chocolate.

BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.

Burner Grates

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In

the proper position the grates should be flush and level (see the graphic to the left). Improper installation of the

grates may result in chipping or scratching of the cooktop.

To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate

bottom with the indentations in the cooktop. Do not operate the burners without a pan on the

grate. The grate's porcelain finish may chip without a pan to absorb the heat from the burner flame.

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high

temperatures of the gas flame.

Notes:

. A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light

within a few seconds. If using natural gas, the flame will be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.

. If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy, the air/gas

mixture may be incorrect. Contact a service technician to adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by

the warranty.)

. With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are

acceptable. This is normal and adjustment is not necessary.

. With some types of gas, you may hear a "popping"

sound when the surface burner is turned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner.

. To improve cooking efficiency and to prevent

possible damage to the cooktop or pan, the flame must be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the

edge of the pan.

Wok

Use flat bottom wok accessory for optimum results. Use caution when removing wok from cooktop, handles

could be hot.
