WARNING

COOKTOP USE

Cooktop Controls

To S et:

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 anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following

chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

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 (17,000 BTU [British Thermal Units] and 12,500 BTU) provide the highest heat setting, and are ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and pans. The small burners (9,100 BTU and 6,000 BTU) 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 igniter will become grounded and occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see if it is wired with the correct polarity.

Lite ■ Light the burner.

Hi ■ Start food cooking.

■ Bring liquid to a boil.

Medium High Between Med & Hi

Med Medium

Medium Low Between Med & Lo

Lo ■ Keep food warm.

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

■ Hold a rapid boil.

■ Quickly brown or sear food.

■ Fry or sauté foods.

■ Hold a slow boil.

■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

■ Stew or steam foods.

■ Simmer.

Sealed Surface Burners

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.

A. Burner cap B. Alignment pins C. Igniter D. Burner base E. Gas tube opening

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. Protect it from spillovers by always using a burner cap.

3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do

not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.

4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins on

the cap are properly aligned with the burner base.

A. Incorrect B. Correct

5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap

alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Surface Grates with LocatorPin

Surface Grates

The grates located on the left and right side of the cooktop contain grooves. These grooves must always face inward toward the control knob panel to hold the grates in place. On some models, the middle grate must be placed in position first, followed by the left and right grates.

A. 1-1¹⁄₂" (25-38 mm) B. Burner ports

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.

To C lea n:

1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean

according to “General Cleaning” section.

2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.

A. Left grate B. Middle grate

C. Groove

On model KGCV566, the grates are located near the outside frame.

Locator Pin

On all models except for model KGCV566, the locator pin on the grate must be positioned in the burner cap hole to hold the grate in place.

A. Locator pin B. Burner cap

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a wellfitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

Ceramic Glass Surface

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains. For more information, see “General Cleaning” section.

■ Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a

heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the ceramic glass.

■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and

soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

■ Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or

aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry

before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking

area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or

surface burners at the same time.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural

department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

Aluminum ■ Heats quickly and evenly.

■ Suitable for all types of cooking.

■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for

most cooking tasks.

Cast iron ■ Heats slowly and evenly.

■ Good for browning and frying.

■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.

Ceramic or Ceramic glass

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.

■ Ideal results on low to medium heat
