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 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 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 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

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

LITE (Light) • Light the 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 lower 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.

HI (High) • Start food cooking.

• Bring liquid to a boil.

• Preheat skillets/pans.

• Quickly brown or sear food.

MED (Medium) • Fry or saute foods.

• Hold a boil.

LO (Low) • Cook soups, sauces and gravies. Simmer HI (High) • Start cooking thicker foods such

as tomato sauce, chili, etc.

Simmer LO (Low) • Hold a gentle simmer.

Simmer Burner Settings 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 counterclockwise to anywhere between HI and LO.

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 HI. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

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.

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.

Gas opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas 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 opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas opening by

always using a burner cap.

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 head (15,000 and 5,000 Btu/h burners) from the 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.

The

chrome electric griddle system provides an evenly heated

and

easy to clean cooking surface.

Remove plastic film and clean with hot, soapy water prior to first use.

To avoid scratching the griddle, do not place any pots or pans on the griddle.

To avoid scratching the griddle, use only heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.

The griddle surface is ready to use, and does not need to be seasoned.

Pouring cold water on a hot griddle may warp the griddle, resulting in an uneven cooking surface.

Use:

Position the drip tray under the front edge of the griddle to catch grease and food residue.

Push in and turn the control knob to desired temperature.

Refer to the griddle Preheat Chart for preheat times. The griddle light will turn off when the griddle has finished

preheating. The griddle light will turn on and off during use to indicate that the griddle element is maintaining the selected surface temperature.

Place food on the griddle and cook to desired doneness.

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.

2. Scrape griddle residue into drip tray using heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.

3. Rinse griddle with hot, soapy water.

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.

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.
