Range Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children
should not be left alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors or drawers.
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn while using the range.
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace
any part of the range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Maintenance – Keep range area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires –
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR
AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cook-top and surfaces facing the cook-top.
Use Proper Pan Size – The range is
equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency. Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended
at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls
Are in Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum
foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned
Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

U
sing and Caring for Your Cooktop
This section tells you how to operate the controls to the cooktop. It also discusses how the sealed gas burner cooktop works, and includes tips on how to cook with and maintain the cooktop.

Using the surface burners

Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with an auto-reignition system. The sealed burners spread the heat evenly across the bottom of the cookware and provide infinite heat control. The auto-reignition system senses when a burner flame has gone out and will automatically reignite that burner.
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 appropriate section of the Installation Instructions for details on making this conversion.

1. Grasp the control knob.
2. Push down and turn to HI. The electric
spark ignitor will ignite the gas flowing into the burner. When you hear a clicking sound, you know that the ignitors are working. Gas is flowing as long as knob is not set at OFF.
3. When the burner is lit, turn the control
knob to the desired flame setting. (See the guide under “Burner heat settings” later in this section.) You can turn the knobs to any of the marked settings. The ignitor will turn off and the clicking will stop when the burner ignites.
NOTES:
The ignitors may click a number of times
before burner lights. This is normal.
All four burner ignitors will spark
regardless of which burner you are using.
Visually check that burner has lit. If the
burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the ignitor click, TURN THE BURNER OFF. Check that the service cord is placed firmly in the wall receptacle. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.
L
D
E
M
Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on valve shaft. If the
spark ignitor still fails to operate, call your nearest authorized KitchenAid servicing outlet.
Proper grounding and polarity is neces­sary for correct operation of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not provide correct polarity, the ignitor will become grounded and click every once in awhile, even after the burner has ignited. A qualified electrician should check the wall receptacle to see if it is wired with correct polarity.
wWARNING
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.
Burner heat settings
Use correct burner heat settings (later in this section). If the heat setting is too high, it can:
Char bacon and cause curling.
Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.
Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.
Scorch delicate sauces and custards.
Cause a boilover.

Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your range:
Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides,
and tight-fitting lids.

Cookware tips

NOTE: For best results and greater fuel
efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cook-
ware in good condition.
The pan should have straight sides and a
tight-fitting lid.
Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are
full or empty.
Pans should be easy to clean. Check to be
sure there are no crevices, rough edges, or areas where food might collect.
Use cookware only as instructed in the
cookware’s user instructions. This is very important for glass cookware because some can be used only in the oven. Pans marked as flameware can be used on surface burners.
Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-
ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
The pan material (metal or glass) affects
how fast heat transfers from the surface burner through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
Handles should be made of sturdy,
heat-resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.
14
Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help
shorten cooking time.
Start food on higher heat settings, then set
surface burner control on low to finish cooking.
Turn on the surface burner only after
placing filled pan on the burner.
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or
cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The cookware could over­heat, causing damage to the cookware or surface burner.
Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.
To protect your cooktop:
Center over
surface burner
Use a canner/pan which can be cen-
tered over the surface burner. Large diameter canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.
Do not place canner on two surface
burners at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop.
Start with hot water. This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.
Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.

Caring for your cooktop

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. You can do most cleaning with items found around the home. Cleaning your cooktop whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking and operating like new.
NOTES:
Before cleaning make sure all controls
are off and the cooktop is cool.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air.
If knobs are removed while cleaning, be
careful not to spill liquids through holes in the control area.
Be careful not to allow moisture to collect
in control area. Moisture could cause ignitor switches to fail.
Surface burners
The burner caps should be routinely
removed and cleaned. Always clean burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean prevents improper ignition and an uneven flame.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS, OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE OPENING.
Occasionally check the burner flames for
proper size and shape as shown later in this section. A good flame is blue in color. If flames lift off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned off, you may need to clean the burners.
To clean burners and burner caps:
Burner cap
Ignitor
Gas tube
opening
(orifice)
1. Lift the burner cap straight up from the
burner base.
2. Clean burner cap with warm, soapy water
and a sponge. For stubborn stains, clean with a mildly abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and powdered cleanser. Do not clean burner cap in dishwasher.
3. If the gas tube opening or the orifice,
located inside the opening, has become soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to clean the area.
4. If ports are clogged, clean with a
straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort
port. Do not leave anything stuck in the ports.
5. After cleaning the gas tube opening and
ports, replace the burner cap. To replace burner cap, make sure cap is properly
aligned and leveled.
6. Check the burner after cleaning for
proper lighting.
NOTE: To check oven burner flames for
proper size and shape, see the Installation Instructions also included with the range.
