COOKTOP USE- KFGS MODEL COOKTOPS

Re-Ignition Feature During the cooking cycle, if one or more burners power off due to

external causes (such as water spillage, wind, distorted flame, etc.), the ignition system will turn on to re-ignite the flame. When the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the low setting

on a burner.

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. Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when

control knobs are turned to Lite. The large burners (10,000, 12,000 and 18,000 Btu/h [British

Thermal Units] on 36" [91.4 cm] models and 9,100, 10,000 and 15,000 Btu/h on 30" [76.2 cm] models) provide the highest heat setting, and are ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and pans. The small burners, 6,000 and 7,000 Btu/h and the inner crown of the central burner 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. Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the

valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained repair specialist.

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.

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 to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting. Do not use a grill or griddle accessory during a power failure, as the vent fan will not operate.

To Light:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control

knob turned to Lite will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

Lite • Light the burner. Hi • Start food cooking.

• Bring liquid to a boil.

Medium • Fry or saute foods. Between Hi and Lo

Simmer • Simmer

Lo • Keep food warm.

area may become hot.

I REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop

• Maintain a slow boil.

• Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

• Stew or steam foods.

external causes (such as water spillage, wind, etc.), the ignition system will turn on to re-ignite the flame. When the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the low setting on a burner.

Cooktop Lock The Cooktop Lock helps to avoid unintended use of the surface

burners. If a control knob is turned to Lite when the Cooktop Lock is on, you will hear clicking and you may see the igniter sparking, but the burner will not light.

To activate:

Turn off all burners and touch the lock key for 3 seconds. When the Cooktop Lock activates, the Cooktop Lock Indicator Light will turn on and 1 long beep will sound.

To deactivate: Touch the lock key for 3 seconds, the indicator light will turn off

and 1 long beep will sound.

Tones

Tones are audible signals, indicating the following: One Long Beep

• Activation/deactivation of the Cooktop Lock function Three Short Beeps

• Invalid operation - attempting to lock or unlock the cooktop with 1 or more burners are on.

Hot Surface Indicator Light The Hot Surface Indicator Light is located between the left front

and center control knobs. The Hot Surface Indicator Light will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is turn off.

If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, the Hot Surface Indicator Lights will remain on after the power is restored to the cooktop. They will remain on until the cooktop has cooled completely.

After a power failure, when the power failure is restored the Hot Surface Indicator Light can stay on for up to 30 minutes

Times when this is most likely to occur:

• After the cooktop is first installed.

• After a power failure.

• After a power failure while the cooktop is still cooling (30 to 40 minutes after cooking).

• Any time power is disconnected from the cooktop.

Power Failure Cooktop will not operate during a power failure.

To Light:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to Lite will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

Lite • Light the burner.

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 by always using a burner cap.

Hi • Start food cooking.

• Bring liquid to a boil.

Medium • Fry or saute foods. Between Hi and Lo

• Maintain a slow boil.

• Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

• Stew or steam foods.

Simmer • Simmer

Lo • Keep food warm.
