■ This cooktop is equipped with a three-prong grounding
plug for your protection against shock hazard and should
be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
■ Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the
cooktop.
■ Injuries may result from the misuse of the cooktop such as
stepping, leaning, or sitting on the top surface.
■ Maintenance – Keep cooktop area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
■ Storage on the cooktop – Flammable materials should not
be stored on or near surface units.
■ Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

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 cooktop. See the instructions included
with the LP Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this
conversion.
The cooktop has sealed gas burners with automatic reignition. If
the burner flame should go out, the system will automatically
spark to reignite the burner.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned on.
The large burners (15,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units], 10,500,
and 12,500 Btu/h) provide the highest heat setting, and are ideal
for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and
pans. The small burners (9,200 Btu/h and 5,000 Btu/h) allow
more accurate simmer control at the lowest setting, and are ideal
for cooking smaller quantities of food, using smaller pots and
pans.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner while 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 a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter
click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or
blown household fuse.
Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the igniters will become grounded and
occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a
trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see
whether it is wired with the correct polarity.

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to light the burner.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner that has been
turned on will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the
following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
High
■ Start food cooking.
■ Bring liquid to a boil.
■ Hold a rapid boil.
■ Quickly brown or sear food.
Sealed Surface Burners
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.

REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop
area may become hot.
Cooktop Burners
High Performance Burner*
There is 1 high speed burner on the cooktop, located in the
center (on some models) or right front position. This burner offers
higher speed cooking that can be used to quickly bring water to a
boil and for large-quantity cooking.
Simmer Burners*
Simmer burners are located in the left and right rear positions (on
some models) or the left front position. The simmer burner offers
a lower Btu/h flame for delicate sauces or melting chocolate.
*Btu/h rating will vary when using LP gas.
Power Failure
The automatic reignition feature will not operate during a 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. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

E. Gas tube opening
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 Cle an:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust
removers.
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to “General Cleaning” section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.

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. Replace the burner cap, making sure the the alignment pins
on the cap are properly aligned with the burner base.

5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, turn off the burner.
Do not service the sealed 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 gates may result in chipping or scratching of
the cooktop.
To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with
the indentations in the cooktop.

■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
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.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminum
■ Heats quickly and evenly.
■ Suitable for all types of cooking.
■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.
A. Grate alignment indentations
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose
their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the
gas flame.
Ceramic Glass Surface
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains. For more information, see “General Cleaning”
section.
■ Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
ceramic glass.
■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause
pitting and permanent marks.
■ Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or
aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
