To Prevent Fire or Smoke
Damage
CAUTION
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air may
ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in
closed containers which may cause them to burst.
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions 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.
1
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 spreading 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
CAUTION
NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets
above an appliance. Children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
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.
About Your Appliance
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the oven.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil may also trap heat causing a fire hazard.
NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing
so restricts air to the burners and may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning.
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 excessive 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 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.
2
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 accumulating 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 appliance, 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 burning 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 adjusted 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 selfcleaning 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 threehole 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.

Surface Controls
CAUTION
• If flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn
the burner off. If a strong gas odor is detected, open a
window and wait five minutes before relighting the
burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set to the OFF position
prior to supplying gas to the cooktop.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some
parts of the cooktop, especially around the burners, to
become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to
protect hands.
Surface Control Knobs
Use to turn on the surface burners. An
infinite choice of heat settings is available
from LOW to HIGH.
Setting the Controls
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners
with automatic re-ignition. If the burner flame should go out,
the system will automatically spark to re-ignite the burner.
1. Place a pan on the burner grate. (To preserve the grate
finish, do not operate the burners without a pan on the
grate to absorb the heat from the burner flame.)
2. Push in knob and turn immediately counterclockwise to
the desired setting.
• A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner
will light. (All ignitors will spark when any surface
burner knob is turned on. However, only the selected
burner will light.)
Pilotless Ignition
Pilotless ignition eliminates the
need for a constant standing
pilot light. Each surface burner
has a spark ignitor. Use care
when cleaning around the
surface burner.
If the surface burner does
not light, check if ignitor is
broken, soiled or wet.
Operating During a Power Failure
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to the desired setting.
CAUTION
• When lighting the surface burners, be sure all of the
controls are in the OFF position. Strike the match first
and hold it in position before turning the knob.
• Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking
during a power failure. The automatic re-ignition feature
will not operate during a power failure.
Suggested Heat Settings
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.
SETTINGS USES
HIGH
LOW
Use HIGH to bring liquid to a boil, or
reach pressure in a pressure cooker.
Always reduce setting to a lower heat
when liquids begin to boil or foods begin
to cook.
An intermediate flame size is used to
continue cooking. Food will not cook any
faster when a higher flame setting is
used than needed to maintain a gentle
boil. Water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.
Use LOW to simmer foods, keep foods
warm and melt chocolate or butter.
Some cooking may take place on the
LOW setting if the pan is covered. It is
possible to reduce the heat by rotating
the knob toward OFF. Be sure flame is
stable.

USING YOUR COOKTOP
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 warranty.)
With LP gas, slight yellow tips on the flames are
acceptable. This is normal 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 (select models)
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.
2. Before installing griddle, 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.
3. Preheat the griddle five minutes on HIGH.
4. Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils while cooking to
prevent damage to the griddle finish.
5. When cooking meats, use the range hood to capture
smoke.
