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.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to HIGH and will automatically reignite if the flame is extinguished. All igniters will spark when lighting; however, only the selected burner will ignite.
If a crossdraft is present, the flame may be affected and some sparking may occur. This is normal.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.
To Set:
1.Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to HIGH.
2.Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

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 HIGH. After burner lights, turn knob to setting. The vent fan will not work.
NOTE: The downdraft vent will not operate during a power failure.
Flame-Sensing™ ReIgnition
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with Flame-Sensing™ ReIgnition. If any burner flame should go out, the system will automatically spark to reignite the burner (all igniters will spark when any flame is extinguished; however, only the selected burner will reignite).
If intermittent sparking occurs, increase flame (rotate knob clockwise) until clicking (spark) sound ceases.
Smart Port Burner System
This cooktop is equipped with a Smart Port Burner System. The Smart Port Burner System produces a small flame directly under each grate finger and a larger flame between each grate finger.
The visual difference between the ports will be noticeable when the burner is used or when adjustments are made to the flame length.

E.Igniter head
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap and head in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap and head will help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap and head after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.
REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
5
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.

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 cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.
1.Remove the burner cap and head from the burner base and clean according to “General Cleaning” section.
2.Clean the gas tube 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.
4.Replace the burner cap and head, making sure the alignment tab and notch are properly aligned with the burner cap.
A
B
A.Incorrect
B.Correct
5.Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check burner head alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
Surface Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the proper position the grates should be flush and level. 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. See cooktop illustrations in the “Parts and Features” section for proper grate positioning.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.
Downdraft Ventilation System
A B
C
A.Removable grease filter
B.Downdraft grate
C.Filter support tray (non-removable)
The built-in downdraft ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate downdraft ventilation system with the filter properly installed.
To avoid the buildup of grease, the filter should be cleaned often.
For more information on proper filter placement and cleaning, see “Downdraft Ventilation System” in the “General Cleaning” section.
To Use:
Turn vent fan knob to LOW, MED (medium) or HIGH. Turn vent fan knob to OFF when finished cooking, or when the cooktop is not in use.

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.
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. 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.
