Use proper pan size—This appliance is
• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High
Heat Settings—Boil overs cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface burner pans. Protective liners or aluminum foil
may interfere with heat and air distribution, and
combustion. Damage to the cooktop or personal injury
may result.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, orotherglazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop
use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able
to see that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Airwill be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.
GLASS COOKTOPS (some models):
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If
cookfop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create
a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
• Clean Cooktop with Caution. If a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful
to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop Glass.
This could cause glass to break.
• Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They
may scratch the cooktop surface.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. G reasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food
underthe hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward from Edges
of Cooktop and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface
Burners—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent surface burners.
•
• Do not let pans boil dry. Pans that boil dry may
permanently damage the cooktop by breaking, fusing
to, or marking it. (This type of damage is not covered
by your warranty).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Surface Cooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should have
flat bottoms that make
good contact with the
entire surface heating
element. Check for
flatness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom
of the cookware (See
Figure 1). Be sure to follow the
recommendations for using cookware as
shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Some utensils were not made to be used in
the oven oron the cooktop.

Using a wok
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your
cooktop are available in most cookshop or
hardware stores. Round-bottomed woks (with a
support ring that does not extend beyond the
burner unit) may also be used. The metal ring
was designed to support the wok safely when it
is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup
making) or fat (frying).
DO NOT use a wok it it is equipped
with a metal ring that extends beyond
the burner unit. Because this ring
traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
Wire trivets: Do not use Vv^ire trivets. Cook
ware bottoms must be in direct contact with the
grates.
Using the Griddle
Before first use:
• Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.
• Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).
• Preheat your oven to 350“F. Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.
• Bake griddle for 1 hourat350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.
• The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from this seasoning process. If desired, wash
the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.
After each use:
•To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.
• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.
• Dry immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing.
:
r'
T.:
Using the Griddle:
• Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners. L ,
• Preheat the griddle for 5 minufes on medium to medium low setting.
Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.
• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.
EUSilSliislill Always place the griddle on the grate before turning on the burner.
Always use potholders to remove the griddle from the grate. Allow the griddle to coo! before
removing. Do not set hot griddle on surfaces that cannot withstand high heat such as countertops.

Before Setting Surface Controls
Locations of the Gas Surface Burners
The SIMMER burner (5000 BTU) is best used for simmering delicate sauces,
etc. This burner is located at the right rear burner position on the cooktop.
The STANDARD burners (7000 BTU or 9500 BTU) are used for most surface
cooking needs. These burners are located at the left front and left rear
positions on the cooktop (and there is one more standard burner located at the
center rear position on the 36" cooktop models).
The POWER burner (17200 BTU) is best used forbringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger
quantities of food. This burner is located at the right front position on
the cooktop.
The BRIDGE burner is best suited when using rectangular or long
shaped cookware. The left rear (7000 BTU) and left middle (7000 BTU)
are combined and controlled by the same control knob. The left front
burner (7000 BTU) may also be added for a total of 3 burners
(21000 BTU).

placed too close to a flame.
In the event of an electrical power outage,
the surface burners can be lit manually. To

Operating the Gas Surface Controls:
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of
the OFF position (See Figure 1).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All electronic
surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the burner
you are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.
5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the knob
indicator settings to adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the
surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will
continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position.)
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a
guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The
size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will
influence the setting needed for cooking.
*F!ame Size Type of Cooking
Off Hi Med Lo
Figure 1
i Improper
Proper
flame size
flame size
High Flame ; Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame < Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Low Flame ; Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
*These settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum
pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The
color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is
clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame
should be steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount
and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate
to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned by
the flame (Figure 2).
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy.
If the fat is too hot, the food will brown quickly and the center will be
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the
food will neither brown nor cook properly.
