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.
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural
Gas. If you wish to use LP Gas, an LP Gas Conversion Kit is
included with your new cooktop. See the instructions included
with the LP Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this
conversion.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned on.
The large burners (15,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units], and
12,500 Btu/h) provide the highest heat setting, and are ideal for
cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and
pans. The small burners (9,200 Btu/h, 8,000 Btu/h and
5,000 Btu/h) allow more accurate simmer control at the lowest
setting, and are ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food, using
smaller pots and pans.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner while using empty cookware or without
any cookware on the grate.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does
not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter
click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or
blown household fuse.
Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the igniters will become grounded and
occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a
trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see
whether it is wired with the correct polarity.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to light the burner.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner that has been
turned on will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the
following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

Cooktop Burners
High Performance Burner*
There is 1 high speed burner on the cooktop, located in the left
front (on some models) or left rear position. This burner offers
higher speed cooking that can be used to quickly bring water to a
boil and for large-quantity cooking.
Simmer Burners*
Simmer burners are located in the right rear positions (on some
models) or the center position. The simmer burner offers a lower
Btu/h flame for delicate sauces or melting chocolate.
*Btu/h rating will vary when using LP gas.

Power Failure
The ignition feature will not operate during a 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. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

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 avoid 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.

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the
proper position the grates should be flush and level. Improper
installation of the gates may result in chipping or scratching of
the cooktop.
1. To ensure proper positioning, align Iocator pins with grooves
on the grates.
AB
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. Keep spillovers out of the
gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.

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 cooktop is 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.

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose
their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the
gas flame.
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 the
ceramic glass.
• 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 allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or
aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and 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.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
