SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following:

WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop.

CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the cooktop – children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

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.

Igniting Burners:

■■ Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when burner knobs are turned to .

■■ Before setting a burner knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without any cookware on the grate.

■■ Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse. Check that the burner knob is pressed completely down on the valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained repair specialist.

■■ When the burner knob for the desired burner is turned to the position, the burner will click independent of the other burners.

REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Reignition Feature

During cooktop use, if one or more burners are extinguished due to external causes (such as a water spill, wind, or ventilation draft), the ignition system will turn on to reignite the flame. When the flame comes back on, the system will

stop sparking. If the draft in the room is not removed, occasional sparking may continue. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the low setting on a burner.

To Set a Burner:

1. Push in and turn

2. Turn knob

Turn knob counterclockwise further for Simmer H and Simmer L.

In Case of Power Failure

Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to H. After burner lights, turn knob to desired setting.

SEALED SURFACE BURNERS

Sealed surface burners are designed to minimize gaps and seams that can allow liquids and spills to get under the cooktop. This design makes cleanup quick and easy.

COOKTOP FEATURES

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 “Care and Cleaning” section.

Gas opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas 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 opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas opening by always using a burner cap.

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.

WOK RING GRATES

Some grates on the unit are designed for use with a wok. These grates can be used over the high power burners (LF or RF) or can be used for improved melting performance when used with the small, low power burners (RR or CR).

To use for wok cooking, place the grates with the removable ring over the LF or RF burner, remove the center ring and set it aside. A 14" (35.5 cm) or larger wok pan will rest in the opening of the grate for optimum cooking with your wok.

To use for improved melting performance, place the grates with the removable ring over the small, low power burner. Turn the center ring upside down and reposition it in the center of the grate so the pan will be farther away from the heat source.

To Use:

1. Remove inner
