Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with an electric ignition system. The sealed burners spread

the heat evenly across the bottom of the cookware and provide infinite heat control.

All of the large burners use the same size burner cap.

The smaller burners also use the same size burner

cap. At of the grates, even those over the smaller

burner caps, are the same size. When correctly posi-

tioned, the grate legs fit into the depressed circles

at the front and back of the porcelain surface.

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: Make certain the cap fits on correctly and is level over the burner base.

iMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural Gas. If you wish to use L.R gas, an LR Gas Conversion Kit is provided with the unit. The conversion must be done by a quaified ser-

vice technician.

turn the control knobs to

o Do not operate a burner for extended periods of

time without having cook- ware on the grate.

o Push in the control knob and turn it counterclock-

wise to the LITE position. The clicking sound is the

ignitor sparking. Make sure the burner is lit.

oTo stop the clicking sound after the burner lights,

turn the control knob to the cook setting you want.

You can set the control knob anywhere between HI and LO.

NOTE: When you turn a knob to the LITE position the electric ignitors on all burners will spark. Gas will only

flow to the selected burner.
