COOKTOP USE
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 LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some
models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire
cooktop area may become hot.
Sealed Surface Burners
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 LITE.
The left front and right rear burners provide the highest heat
setting. The left rear and right front burners allow more accurate
simmer control at the lowest setting.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate
is unoccupied.
To Set :
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All 4 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.

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 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.

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 Cl ean :
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 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 correct size burner cap onto the correct size
burner base, making sure the alignment pins are properly
aligned with the burner cap.
On some models, each size burner cap and burner base has a
corresponding letter “A,” “B,” “C” and “D.” To ensure a proper
fit and that the burner will light, make sure that the burner cap
matches with its corresponding letter on the burner base.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it
free from stains. For more information, see “General Cleaning”
section.
■ Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack it.
■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause
pitting and permanent marks.
■ Do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.
Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware
or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.
■ Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or
aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
■ Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
7
■ Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm)
outside the area.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
1. Surface Cooking Area
2. Cookware/Canner
3. 1 in. (2.5 cm) Maximum Overhang
■ Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area
or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in.
(2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.
■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or
surface burners at the same time.
■ On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.
■ On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil
element will be shortened. See “Assistance or Service” for
ordering instructions.
■ For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact
Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home
canning products can also offer assistance.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a wellfitting 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.
Griddles with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Aluminum
■ Heats quickly and evenly.
■ Suitable for all types of cooking.
■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.
Cast iron
Ceramic or
Ceramic glass
■ Heats slowly and evenly.
■ Good for browning and frying.
■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.
■ Ideal results on low to medium heat
settings.
Copper
Earthenware
Porcelain
■ Heats very quickly and evenly.
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Use on low heat settings.
■ See stainless steel or cast iron.
enamel-onsteel or cast
iron
Stainless steel ■ Heats quickly, but unevenly.
■ A core or base of aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even
heating.
11-inch (28 cm) Square Griddle
The 11 in. (28 cm) griddle is a square pan with extra low sides and
one long handle. It has an uncoated hard-anodized interior and
exterior, and is perfect for the high heat needed for searing and
grilling.
The griddle may also be used in the oven when broiling. When
finished cooking, use an oven mitt to slide oven rack out to the
stop position and remove the griddle from the oven.
■ Do not use knives or metal utensils on the griddle surface. Use
only plastic or nylon cooking utensils.
■ Do not preheat on HI. Excessive heat will cause discoloration,
shorten the life of the surface, and may warp griddle and
cause damage to the cooktop.
■ Do not wash griddle in the dishwasher.
First Time Use:
1. Before cooking for the first time, wash the griddle in warm
soapy water with a sponge. Rinse with warm water and towel
dry.
2. Preheat griddle on medium setting for 5 minutes.
