injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
■ WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF
THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK

seriously injured.
■ Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the
Code, ANSI/NFPA70

Electrical Code. Be sure the range is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
. In Canada, the range must be
National Electrical
■ This range is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for your protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
■ Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the
appliance.
■ Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.
■ Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or
drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors
or drawers.
■ Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
■ Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should

COOKTOP USE
D
Cooktop Controls
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 IGNITE.
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.
To S et :
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE.
All 4 surface burners will click. Only the burner with the
control knob turned to IGNITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the
following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
IGNITE ■ Light the burner.
HIGH
Between
HIGH and LOW
■ Start food cooking.
■ Bring liquid to a boil.
■ Hold a rapid boil.
■ Quickly brown or sear food.
■ Fry or sauté foods.
■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies.
■ Stew or steam foods.
Power™ Burner (on some models)
The left front burner is designed to give ultra-high power when it
is fully on. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to
cook large quantities of food.
ACCUSIMMER® Burner (on some models)
The right rear burner has an adjustable heat setting for more
precise simmering and low temperature cooking.
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 IGNITE. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting.
Cooktop Lockout
The Cooktop Lockout prevents unintended use of the surface
burners. When the cooktop is locked out, the surface burners
cannot be turned on by the control knobs.
When power is first supplied to the range, or if the range loses
power, the surface burners will be in the Cooktop Lockout
position. The surface burners cannot be activated until power is
restored to the range and (or) the Cooktop Lockout is
disengaged. Also, cooktop burners will be in the Cooktop
Lockout position during the self-clean cycle.
To Lock/Unlock Cooktop:
Before using, turn all control knobs to OFF. Press and hold the
Cooktop Lockout icon keypad for 3 seconds. A single tone will
sound, and “Loc On” and a cooktop icon will appear on the
display. After 3 seconds the clock display will reappear.
Repeat to unlock cooktop. “Loc OFF” will appear on the display
for 3 seconds, and the cooktop icon will disappear from the
display.
Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach
or rust removers.

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.
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.

B. Burner ports
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 C le an :
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.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate.
■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
■ For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.
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. 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.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminum
■ Heats quickly and evenly.
■ Suitable for all types of cooking.
■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.
4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are
properly aligned with the burner cap.
A. Incorrect
B. Correct
5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
Cast iron
Ceramic or
Ceramic glass
■ Heats slowly and evenly.
■ Good for browning and frying.
■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.
■ Ideal results on low to medium heat
settings.
Copper
■ Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware ■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Use on low heat settings.
Porcelain
■ See stainless steel or cast iron.
enamel-onsteel or cast
iron
Stainless steel ■ Heats quickly, but unevenly.
■ A core or base of aluminum or copper
