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.

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.

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.

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

■ 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 grill module consists of a cast-iron grate, a wave tray, a flame
spreader, a burner assembly, 2 grease trays and a drip tray. It is
used to grill foods. Refer to the “Grill Chart” for cook times and
settings.
When using the grill, follow the guidelines below.
■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
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.
