qualified technician.

•

Make sure all packaging materials are removed from the cooktop before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

• Make sure your cooktop is properly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type

of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. Your cooktop can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions.

• Do not leave children alone or unattended where a

cooktop is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

CAUTION: Items of interest to children

should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop — children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Storage on Appliance - Do not store flammable

materials on the cooktop or near surface units. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as

flammable liquids.

• Do not let anyone climb or stand on the cooktop.

They could damage the cooktop or cause severe personal injury.

INTRODUCTION

ENGLISH

• Do not allow children to climb or play around the

cooktop.

WARNING: NEVER use your

cooktop as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop.

• Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while

using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items placed in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought into contact with flame or hot surfaces and may cause severe burns.

• Do not placed flammable materials on or near the

cooktop.

• Do not place or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in

the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Do not place cooking oils or other flammable

materials on or near the cooktop.

• Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on

or near the cooktop. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.

• Do not use water on grease fires. NEVER touch a

flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

• Stepping, leaning or sitting on this cooktop can

result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the cooktop.

• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge

or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.

• Do not block the airflow into or out of the cooktop. It

is necessary for proper combustion and ventilation.

• Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(continued)

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

WARNING

• If the top burner flame goes out, gas is still

flowing to the burner until the knob is turned to the “OFF” position. Do not leave the burners “ON” unattended.

• Use proper pan size. Do not use pans that

are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spills, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, Since heavy spattering or spills left on a range can ignite, use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

•

Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers can cause smoking and greasy spills that may catch on fire.

• Always turn knobs to the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

• Control the top burner flame size so it does

not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.

• If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed

for top-of-range cooking.

SURFACE BURNERS

• To prevent burns, ignition of flammable materials

and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the cooktop without extending over adjacent burners.

• NEVER place any items on the cooktop. The hot air

from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame

setting.

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

• If frying mixtures of oils or fats, stir to combine

before heating.

• Use a deep fat thermometer if possible to prevent

overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective

shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

• LG does not recommend using a gas cooktop for

the preparation of flaming foods. If you choose to prepare flaming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.

• Do not use a wok on the surface burners if the

wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and

burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost or moisture on foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a

deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

• Do not place plastic items on the cooktop—they

may melt if left too close to the vent.

• Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.

• To prevent burns, always be sure that the controls

for all burners are at the “OFF” position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.

• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop and call a qualified service technician. Never use

an open flame to locate a leak.

• Always turn knob to the “OFF” position before removing cookware.

• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can cause damage and improper operation of the cooktop.

• If the cooktop is located near a window, do not

hang long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and catch on fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT

WARNING:

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause

cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (US only)

This law requires the Governor of California to

publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and

requires businesses to warn customers of potential

exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the improper combustion of natural or LP gas.

Correctly adjusted burners, indicated by a blue rather than a yellow flame, will minimize improper combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by opening windows or using a ventilation fan or hood.

ENGLISH

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

• Make sure all grates on the cooktop are properly placed before using any burner.

• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

• Make sure all burners are in place.

• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

LIGHTING A GAS SURFACE BURNER

• Be sure all the surface burners are placed in their respective positions.

•

Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.

• The clicking noise you hear is the sound of the electric spark ighiting the burners.

• To control the flame size, turn the knob. lf the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.

• When one burner knob is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE

In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

SEALED GAS BURNERS

The cooktop has five sealed gas burners for convenience and easy cleaning.

The medium and large burners are the primary burners for most cooking. The temperature range on these burners can handle a wide range of cooking tasks.

The extra large burner (center) is the maximum output burner. Like the other burners, it can be used for most everyday cooking tasks.

This burner is also designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. The special UltraHeat setting is designed for use with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter. The extra large dual burner can also be used on LO to simmer.

The smallest burner offers a very low simmer setting and is best for delicate foods such as sauces that require long simmer times over low heat.

USING A WOK

Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards.

This can be hazardous to your health.

Use a 14 inch or smaller flat bottom wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. Woks are available at your local retail store.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.

STOVE-TOP GRILLS

Do not use stove top grills on your surface burners. If you use a stove top grill on the surface burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards.

This can be hazardous to your health.

SETTING THE FLAME SIZE

NEVER let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware for safe handling of cookware.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating of the cookware and could be hazardous.

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS

(continued)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

COOKWARE

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is

recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.

Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet.

Use sauce pans with tight fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware

manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking

methods. Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those

for oven use only and those for top of the range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

BURNER CAPS

Lift burner caps off when they are cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Use a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles.

To place the dual extra large burner outer cap properly, make sure the slit in the burner cap is positioned over the assembly guide in the burner head.

BURNER HEADS

The burner heads are removable. Simply lift them off the cooktop for cleaning. The slits in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even flame. Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes may cause improper operation of the cooktop. Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged. You should clean the burner caps and heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers which could clog the openings. Lift burner heads off when they are cool.

To get rid of burned-on food, soak the burner heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.

NOTES:

• Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to clean

the burners.

• Burners will not light if the cap is removed.

AFTER CLEANING

Before placing the burner caps and burner heads back, shake out excess water and then dry them thoroughly.

REPLACEMENT

Replace burner heads and caps over the electrodes on the cooktop, in the correct locations according to their size. There are one small, two medium, one large and one extra large burner head and cap.
