COOKTOP USE

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.

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.

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,

• 4

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.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

LITE • Light the burner. HI • Start food cooking.

• Bring liquid to a boil.

MED to HI • Hold a rapid boil.

• Quickly brown or sear food.

MED • Fry or saute foods.

• Hold a slow boil.

MED to LO • Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

• Stew or steam foods.

LO • Keep food warm. (with Simmer Plate

on some models) • Melt chocolate or butter.

5. Gas tube opening

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

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

1. 1-1W' (25-38 mm)

2. Burnerports

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 Clean: 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.

,,L

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." Toensure aproper fit and that the burner will light, make sure that the burner cap matches with its corresponding letter on the burner base.

Depending on your model, the LO or LOW setting flame height of each of the surface burners can be adjusted.

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.

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.

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.

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 well-

fitting 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

• Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

Ceramic or Ceramic glass

• Follow manufacturer's instructions.

• Heats slowly, but unevenly.

• Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.

Copper • Earthenware •

Heats very quickly and evenly. Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Use on low heat settings.

Porcelain •

See stainless steel or cast iron.

enamel-on- steel or cast iron

Stainless steel • Heats quickly, but unevenly.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

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. Allow griddle to cool completely.

3. Apply a light coating of vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray to griddle.

To Use:

1. Place griddle over surface cooking grate, and push in and turn the control knob to the MED setting. Preheat griddle for

5 minutes.

2. Place foods on griddle, and choose correct temperature setting for foods according to your recipe.
