READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not allow children to climb or play around the

cooktop.

(continued)

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 thecooktop with caution. If a wet spong or

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

• Not obstructing the flow of combustion and

ventilation air.

• Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted

according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

SURFACE BURNERS

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. Boiling overs can cause smoking. Smoking and greasy spillovers 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

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 combination of oils or fats, stir together

before heating or as fats melt slowly.

• 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

(continued)

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.

Frest 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.

CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT

WARNING:

cancer. Wash hands after handling.

Enforcement Act 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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

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

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS

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.

HOW TO LIGHT 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 positions.

• You can hear a little CLICKING noise-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 turning a burner 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.

The medium(left front & rear) and the large(right front) burners are the primary burners for most cooking. These general-purpose burners can be turned down from HI to LO suit a wide range of cooking needs.

The extra large burner (center) is the maxium output burner. Like the other four burners, it can be turned down from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking appliances.

Push the control knob in and

turn it to the LITE position.

• 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.

SEALED GAS BURNERS

Your cooktop has five sealed gas burners. They offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility to be used in a wide range of cooking applications. The smallest burner is in the right rear. These burners can be turned down to LO for a very low simmer setting. They provide precise cooking performance for

delicate foods such as sauces or food that requires

low heat for a long cooking time.

Extra Large (dual)

Small

Medium

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.

This burner is also designed to quickly bring large amount of liquid to a boil.

It has a special UtraHeat setting designed to be used with cookware 10 inches or large pots / pans or use with the griddle. The extra large burner(dual) can also be turned down to LO for a low simmer setting almost like the small burner.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS

HOW TO SELECT 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.

COOKWARE

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is

recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.

Most of the 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.

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

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.

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.

We recommend that you use a 14 inch or smaller flat bottom wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. They 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 the 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.

USING THE GRIDDLE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: The griddle plate on the

cooktop may become very hot when using the cooktop. Always use oven mitts when placing or removing the griddle plate.

The griddle must only be used

on the left side grate.

Your non-stick coated griddle provides an extra large cooking surface for meats, pancakes or other food usually prepared in a frying pan or skillet.

NOTE: Your griddle will discolor over time as it becomes seasoned with use.

How to Place the Griddle: The griddle can only be used on the left side grate.

The griddle must be properly placed on the center grate.

NOTE: Do not remove the left side grate when using the griddle.

CAUTION: Do not remove the

griddle plate until the cooktop grates, surfaces and griddle plate are completely cooled.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods, grease spills

can occur.

• The griddle can become hot when surrounding

burners are in use.

• Do not overheat the griddle. This can damage the

non stick coating.

• Do not use metal utensils that can damage the

griddle surface. Do not cut foods on the grid dle.

• Do not place or store items on the griddle.
