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. The cooktop has sealed gas burners with automatic reignition. If

the burner flame should go out, the system will automatically spark to reignite the burner.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned on.

The large burners (15,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units], 10,500, and 12,500 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 (9,200 Btu/h and 5,000 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. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or

blown household fuse. Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation

of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not provide correct polarity, the igniters 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 light the burner. All surface burners will click. Only the burner that has been

turned on will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

High

• Start food cooking.

• Bring liquid to a boil.

• Hold arapid boil.

• Quickly brown or sear food.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

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.

Medium between High and

Low

Cooktop Burners

High Performance Burner*

There is 1 high speed burner on the cooktop, located in the center (on some models) or 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 Burners* Simmer burners are located inthe left and right rear positions (on

some models) or the left front position. The simmer burner offers a lower Btu/h flame for delicate sauces or melting chocolate.

*Btu/h rating will vary when using LP gas.

Power Failure

The automatic reignition feature will not operate during a 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. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

• Fry or saute foods.

• Maintain a slow boil.

• Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

• Stew or steam foods.

• Simmer.

• Keep food warm.

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.

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: IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and

the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

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.

A. Burner cap B. Alignment pins

C. Igniter D. Burner base

E. Gas tube opening

A. 1-11/2"(25-38 mm)

B. Burner ports

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.

Replace the burner cap, making sure the the alignment pins on the cap are properly aligned with the burner base.

A. Incorrect B. Correct

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

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the proper position the grates should be flush and level. Improper installation of the gates may result in chipping or scratching of the cooktop.

To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with the indentations in the cooktop.

A A

• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits

when heated.

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.

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.

A.Grate alignment indentations

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

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains. For more information, see "General Cleaning"

section.

• Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the ceramic glass.

• 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.

• Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

Cast iron

• Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains 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 • See stainless steel or cast iron.

enamel-on- steel or cast

iron

Stainless steel • Heats quickly, but unevenly.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.
