To Prevent Fire or Smoke

Damage

Read and follow all instructions before using this

appliance to prevent the potential risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury or 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 ensure proper and safe operation: Appliance

must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified

technician. Do not attempt to adjust, repair, service, or

replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifi-

Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it.

Keep area around appliance clear and free from combus-

tible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and

materials. If appliance is installed near a window, proper precau-

tions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing

over burners. Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when

exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid

their use or storage near an appliance.

MPORTANT SAFETY |NSTRU

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.

in Case of Fire

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spread-

ing the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to

remove smoke and odor.

• 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, or a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or

flame.

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 exces- sive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.

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.

Do not use high heat for extended cooking operations.

NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still 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 on it can 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 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 |NSTRUCT|ONS

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 accumulat- ing 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.

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, do not extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Always turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appli- ance, 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 eyelid 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 burn- ing 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 ad-

justed 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 during an oven self-

cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

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 THIRD

GROUNDING PRONG FROM 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.

N YOURCOOKTOP

Burner Grates

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking.

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 war- ranty.)

With LP gas, slight yellow tips on the flames are acceptable. This isnormal 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.

* If the control knob is turned very quickly from HIGH to

LOW, the flame may go out, particularly if the burner is

cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the OFF position, wait several seconds and relight the burner.

The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Using the Griddle (selectmodeJs )

1. Before the first use, wash your new griddle in hot soapy water. Do not immerse the terminal plug in water.

Rinse and dry. Then "condition" the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil or shortening. Remove excess oil or shortening by wiping again with a paper towel.

Before installinggriddle, be certain griddle control knob is

in the OFF position. The basin pan needs to be clean. Slide the griddle towards the receptacle until the terminal plug is completely engaged. The griddle should rest on the basin

pan.

Preheat the griddle five minutes on HIGH.

Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils while cooking to

prevent damage to the griddle finish.

When cooking meats, use the range hood to capture smoke.
