COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
WARNING
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.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to HIGH and will automatically reignite if
the flame is extinguished. All igniters will spark when lighting;
however, only the selected burner will ignite.
If a crossdraft is present, the flame may be affected and some
sparking may occur. This is normal.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
To S et:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to HIGH.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the
following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
HIGH ■ Start food cooking.
■ Bring liquid to a boil.
■ Hold a rapid boil.
■ Quickly brown or sear food.
■ To fr y ch icke n.

REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop
area may become hot.
■ Maintain a slow boil.
■ Fry or sauté foods.
■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies.
■ Stew or steam food.
■ Simmer.
■ Keep food warm.

Power failure
A
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 HIGH. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting. The vent fan will not work.
NOTE: The downdraft vent will not operate during a power
failure.
Pilotless Ignition
Pilotless Ignition eliminates the need for a constant standing pilot
light. Each burner surface has an electric spark igniter. If your
burner flame goes out, Pilotless Ignition will automatically spark
to reignite the burner.
NOTE: All igniters will spark when any flame is extinguished but
only the selected burner will reignite.
If intermittent sparking occurs, rotate the knob clockwise until the
clicking (spark) sound ceases.
Smart Port Burner System
This cooktop is equipped with a Smart Port Burner System. The
Smart Port Burner System produces a small flame directly under
each grate finger and a larger flame between each grate finger.
The visual difference between the ports will be noticeable when
the burner is used or when adjustments are made to the flame
length.

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 opening by always using a burner cap.

5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check burner
head alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not
service the burner yourself. Contact a trained repair
specialist.

Surface Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the
proper position the grates should be flush and level. Improper
installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching of
the cooktop.
To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with
the indentations in the cooktop. See cooktop illustrations in the
“Parts and Features” section for proper grate positioning.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose
their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the
gas flame.

Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate.
■ Do not place canner on 2 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
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, and a
well-fitting 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.

D. Right side grate
The built-in downdraft ventilation system removes cooking
vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate downdraft
ventilation system with the filter properly installed.
To avoid the buildup of grease, the filter should be cleaned often.
For more information on proper filter placement and cleaning, see
“Downdraft Ventilation System” in the “General Cleaning”
section.
To Use:
Turn vent fan knob clockwise to LOW or HIGH. Turn vent fan
knob to OFF when finished cooking, or when the cooktop is not
in use.
