Important Safety Instructions
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp pot holders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
let the potholders touch the flame or burners. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Always
turn the knob to the LITE position when igniting the burners.
Visually check that the burner has lit. Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The
use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner
flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve
efficiency.
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed
gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas
burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in
exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current
standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
Use proper pan size—This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottom large enough to cover the
surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface burner to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the
surface burner will also improve efficiency.
• 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. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food
under the 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.
• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat
Settings—Boilovers 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, or other glazed
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. Air
will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion
problems.
GLASS COOKTOPS (some models):
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If cooktop
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.
• 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
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.

Setting Surface Controls
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
Correct
Incorrect
and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the
setting needed.
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
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.
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned
by the gas flame.
*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum pans. 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. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yelloworange.
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 so quickly that 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.

To Clean the Contoured Burner Skirts
The burner skirts are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The burner skirts forms a recessed well area located
around each burner unit. If spill occurs in one of the well areas, turn off burner and blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse
with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To Clean the Burner Cap
Remove burner cap. Use soap-filled pad or mild abrasive cleanser to clean

burner caps. If necessary, cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper
towel for 30 minutes. Rub gently with a mixture of clean water and vinegar. Wipe
dry. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future

To Clean the Removable Burner Head and Gas Opening (some models)
The ports (or slots) around the burner head must be routinely cleaned. Use a
small-gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes.
Note: If the electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light
because it will not spark. Manual lighting with a match is still possible.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner - DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS,
FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE
GAS OPENING TUBE. Gas must flow freely through the small hole in the brass
orifice for the burners to light properly. If the gas opening orifice becomes soiled
or clogged, use a small-gauge or needle to clean. ALWAYS keep the burner cap
in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
To Replace the Burner Head and the Burner Cap
Make sure the pieces are thoroughly dry before placing back.
1. Replace burner head and burner cap in their places. Make sure each burner
cap and burner head are properly aligned and leveled.
2. Replace the burner grate.
3. Turn the burner on to determine if it lights. If the burner does not light after
cleaning, contact an authorized servicer. Do not service the sealed burner
