IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following:

■ WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space

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

■ CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in

cabinets above the cooktop – children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

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.

REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Cooktop Controls

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to HI and will automatically reignite if the flame is extinguished

If a cross draft is present, the flame may be affected and some sparking may occur. This is normal.

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.

To S et:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to HI.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following

chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

Sealed Surface Burners

A. Burner cap B. Igniter electrode C. Burner base D. Gas tube opening

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap and head in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap and head will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap and head 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. Keep spillovers out of gas tube by always using a burner cap.

Medium Between HI and LO

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 HI. After burner lights, turn knob to setting. The vent fan will not work.

■ Start food cooking.

■ Bring liquid to a boil.

■ Hold a rapid boil.

■ Quickly brown or sear food.

■ To fry chicken.

■ Maintain a slow boil.

■ Fry or sauté foods.

■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

■ Stew or steam food.

■ Simmer.

■ Keep food warm.

A. Low flame B. High flame

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 lean:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and

cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

1. Remove the burner cap and head 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.

4. Replace burner bases and burner caps. IMPORTANT: The igniter electrode is ceramic and could

break during conversion. Be sure that the electrode comes through the hole in the burner smoothly while replacing the burner base.

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. 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.

Cookware Characteristics

A. Burner cap B. Electrode C. Burner base

5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check burner head alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the burner yourself. 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 above the burner.

■ 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.
