COOKTOP 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 L.P.Gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit is
included with your new range. See the instructions included with
the L.R 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 (15,000 BTU [British Thermal Units]) 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 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 the clicking sound. Ifyou do not hear the
igniter click, TURN THE BURNER OFR Check for a tripped circuit
breaker or blown 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
whether it is wired with the correct polarity.
To Set:
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
MTE • Light the burner.
HI • Start food cooking.
• Bring liquid to a boil.
MED to HI • Hold a rapid boil.
• Quickly brown or sear food.
MED • Fry or saute foods.
• Hold a slow boil.
MED to LO • Cook soups, sauces and gravies,
• Stew or steam foods.

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 oven and
cooktop are 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.

To Clean:
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.
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.

5. 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.

2. 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.

The Simmer Plate is made of aluminum to evenly spread the heat
over the bottom of cookware. It can be used on the large surface
burners.
Do not use the Simmer Plate above the medium setting. For best
results, use the Simmer Plate with burner settings in the medium
to low range on the cooktop when lower temperatures are
needed for simmering, or for maintaining food at a low
temperature over an extended period of time.
Channels on the bottom of the Simmer Plate have been designed
so it fits properly and securely over the grate.
See "Assistance or Service" section to order extra Simmer
Plates.

2. Wave Tray 4. Burner Assembly 6. Drip Tray
The grille module consists of a cast-iron grate, a wave tray, a
wave plate, a burner assembly, a front spill guard and a drip tray.
It is used to grill foods. Refer to the "Grille Chart" for cook times
and settings.
When using the grille, follow the guidelines below.
• Do not leave the grille unattended while cooking.
• Do not use aluminum foil, charcoal or wood chips.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to prevent curling.
• Allow space between food on the grille. Crowding food will
result in uneven cooking.
• Use a metal spatula or tongs to turn food.
• Steaks, chops and hamburgers should be turned only once
to prevent loss of juices.
• For even cooking, foods such as chicken quarters should be
turned several times.
• To check for doneness of meats and poultry, use an instant
read thermometer or make a small cut in the center of the
food. This will prevent loss of juices.
Before removing or replacing grille, make sure the control knobs
are turned to OFF. Allow the grille to cool completely before
handling.
To Remove:
1. Remove grille grate.
2. Remove wave tray and wave plate.
3. Remove burner assembly.
4. Remove front spill guard.
5. Remove drip tray.
6. Clean basin. See "General Cleaning" section.
To Replace:

GRIDDLE
1. Griddle
2. Drip Tray
The griddle is a built-in unit made of polished steel and comes
with a drip tray. It is shipped with a protective coating covered
with paper to prevent rust from occurring and must be removed
before using. See the "First Time Use" section for more
information about using the griddle.
• Do not use cookware on the griddle.
• Do not pour cold water on a hot griddle. This may warp the
griddle, producing an uneven cooking surface.
• The griddle must be level to operate properly.
• The griddle should be preheated before cooking most foods.
Refer to recipe or package instructions.
• Remove and clean the grease tray and the area below after
each use.
• After each cleaning, wipe the griddle surface with a light film
of cooking oil to protect the finish from rust and corrosion. Do
not use corn oil.
• Cooking on the griddle will change the color and appearance
of the surface. It is normal for the griddle surface to become
brown and darken with use.
Before cleaning the griddle, turn control knobs to OFF and allow
griddle to cool.
First Time Use:
1. Remove the paper from the griddle.
2. Completely remove the protective coating from the surface
with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse and
dry.
3. Pour 1 tsp (5 mL) of vegetable oil onto the center of the
griddle and spread evenly over the entire surface with a paper
towel.
The griddle is ready for use. This is necessary to help prevent
food from sticking.
To Use:
1. Push in and turn knob to LITE/HI. The flame will ignite in 30 to
40 seconds. Allow griddle to preheat for 10 minutes. Place
food on griddle.
2. If preheating is not required, start cooking food at desired
temperature setting.
