COOKTOP USE
WARNING
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.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.
The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW.
REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
Power™ Burner Feature
The left front burner is designed to give ultra-power when fully on. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.
Flex-Choice™ Burner Feature
The Flex-Choice™ feature allows for more precise simmering and low temperature cooking. It is the right rear burner.
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 desired setting.
Sealed Surface Burners
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 by always using a burner cap.

Burner Size Recommended Use
Small
■ Low-heat cooking
■ Melting chocolate or butter
Cookware
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 or grates. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.

Extra-Large
■ Multipurpose burner
■ For large cookware
■ Most powerful burner
■ For large cookware
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
