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.

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 range. See the instructions included in the Installation Instructions for details on making this conversion.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LITE.

Three different sizes of burners are provided, 20,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units], 15,000 Btu/h, and 5,000 Btu/h.

The 20,000 Btu/h Ultra Power™ dual-flame burner has an upper and lower level of flame.

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 counterclockwise to anywhere between HI and LO.

Push in one more time to get from LO to Simmer HI.

Use the following charts as a guide when setting heat levels.

20,000 Btu/h Ultra Power™ Dual-Flame Burner

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

LITE (Light)

HI (High)

MED (Medium) ■ Fry or sauté foods.

LO (Low)

Simmer HI (High)

Simmer LO (Low)

■ Light the burner.

■ Start food cooking.

■ Bring liquid to a boil.

■ Preheat skillets/pans.

■ Quickly brown or sear food.

■ Hold a boil.

■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

■ Start cooking thicker foods such

as tomato sauce, chili, etc.

■ Hold a gentle simmer.

The Power Hi setting uses both flame levels at full power to provide the highest heat and is ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, and using large pots and pans. The Simmer Hi and Lo settings use the lower flame only and allow for accurate simmer control and cooking of smaller quantities of food.

The 5,000 Btu/h burner reaches a low of 500 Btu/h, and is ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food and melting chocolate or butter.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner 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. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn off the burner. 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 or junction box 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 or junction box to see whether it is wired with the correct polarity.

Simmer Burner Settings 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 counterclockwise to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

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 HI. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

Cooktop Surface

Wiping off the cooktop, grates and caps after each use will help keep it free from stains.

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

For more information, see the “Sealed Surface Burners” and “General Cleaning” sections.

Sealed Surface Burners

20,000 Btu/h Ultra Power™ Dual-Flame Burner

A. Burner cap

B. Burner head C. Gas opening D. Burner base

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid 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.

Gas opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas 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 opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas opening by always using a burner cap.

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 Cle an :

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and

the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

1. Remove the burner cap and burner head (15,000 and

5,000 Btu/h burners) from the burner base and clean according to “General Cleaning” section.

2. Clean the gas 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.

■ 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 avoid loss of juices.

■ Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.

■ Do not use aluminum foil, charcoal or wood chips.

■ To avoid damage to cookware, do not place cookware on the

grill when in use. Food should be cooked directly on the grill grate.

Before removing or replacing grill, make sure the control knobs are turned to OFF. Allow the grill to cool completely before handling.

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.

the edges to avoid curling.

■ Allow space between food on the grill. 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 avoid loss of juices.

■ For even cooking, foods such as chicken quarters should be

turned several times.
