Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
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.
• Know which knob controls each surface burner/surface unit.
Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.
• Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top
burners. Visually check that burner has lit.Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
• Use proper pan size. This cooktop can be equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners/Unit --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/Unit 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 any part of the cooktop, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or
fire.
• 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 Searing Grill on the cooktop. The Searing Grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
_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.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner/Unit Covers. If a burner/ unit is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot
and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner/unit is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners/unit because the covers may cause overheating. Air will blocked from the burner/unit and cause
combustion problems.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
GLASS COOKTOP
• Do Not Operate or Clean a Broken Cooktop Glass.--If glass top 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 Glass with Caution.--tf a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on ahot cooking area, be careful to avoid asteam
burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid Scratching the Cooktop Glass with Sharp Objects.

Surface Cooking
Flame Size For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to
complete the process. Use the chart 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.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food wilt 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.
*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; steam Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
Proper Burner Adjustments
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 sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Care &Cleaning.
Placement of Burner Heads and Caps
Your Cooktop is equipped with three different sized burners: Power Burner, Standard Burner and Simmer Burner.
Place burner head over each gas orifice, matching the head with the orifice size. Be careful not to damage the electrode while placing the head over the orifice. Make sure electrode fits correctly into slot in burner head. Place a burner cap on each burner head, matching the cap size to the head size. The cap for each burner has an inner locating ring which centers the cap correctly on the burner head. Be sure that atl the burner caps and burner heads are correctly placed BEFORE using your appliance.
Burner Cap
Make sure each burner
cap is properly aligned and level.
Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If
the burner does not light, contact a Sears Service
Center. Do not service the sealed burner
yourself.
Gas Opening
Surface Cooking
Placement of Burner Grates
Place grates over the burners. Fit the tips of the grate feet into the holes in the ceramic glass.
Setting Surface Controls
Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the following burners: Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking needs. Large Burner: best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when
preparing larger quantities of food.
Regardless of size, always select a utensil 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.
Your cooktop is also equipped with 270 ° rotation flame control valves. These valves provide enhanced control of the burner flame. Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor when its control knob is turned to the LITE position.
Grate
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All electronic ignitors wilt
click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Push in and turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not
have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the Surface Control knob inthe LITE position. (The electronic ignitorwilt continue to click if left in the LITE position, causing premature wear.)
In the event ofan electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, holda lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
NOTE: White glass can appear green when it is hot. This is normal, and it
will come back to white when it cools down.
