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 range. See the instructions included in the Installation Instructions for details on making this conversion.

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

Three different sizes of burners are provided: 20,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units], 15,000 Btu/h, and 5,000 Btu/h.

The 20,000 Btu/h stacked power burner has an upper and lower level of flame.

Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle or junction box 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 or junction box to see whether it is wired with the correct polarity.

Reignition Feature

During cooktop use, if one or more burners are extinguished due to external causes (such as a water spill, wind or ventilation draft), the ignition system will turn on to reignite the flame. When the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking. If the draft in the room is not removed, occasional sparking may continue. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the low setting on a burner.

To S et :

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

When the control knobs for any small or medium burner are turned to the LITE position, all small and medium burners will click. When the control knob for the large burner is turned to the LITE position, these burners will click independent of the other burners. In both cases, only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob counterclockwise to anywhere between HI and LO.

Push in one more time to get from LO to Simmer HI.

Use the following charts as a guide when setting heat levels.

20,000 Btu/h Stacked Power Burner

The Power Hi setting uses both flame levels at full power to provide the highest heat and is ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, and using large pots and pans. The Simmer Hi and Lo settings use the upper flame only and allow for accurate simmer control and cooking of smaller quantities of food.

The 5,000 Btu/h burner reaches a low of 500 Btu/h, and is ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food and melting chocolate or butter.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner 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 the clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown 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.

Cooktop Surface

Wiping off the cooktop, grates and caps after each use will help keep it free from stains.

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

For more information, see the “Sealed Surface Burners” and “General Cleaning” sections.

A. 1-1¹⁄₂" (25-38 mm) 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:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

1. Remove the burner cap and burner base and clean according

to “General Cleaning” section.

2. Clean the gas 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. Remove and clean the drip tray and the area below. Gently tip

the drip tray so that the contents are not spilled when removing.

5. Clean using a nylon scrub pad with soapy water and rinse

with hot water.

6. Dry griddle, drip tray and area below griddle with paper

towels to remove excess grease and oil.

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 or grates. 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.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.

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

Ceramic or Ceramic glass

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.
