COOKTOPUSE

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

Lite • Light the burner. Hi • Start food cooking.

• Bring liquid to a boil.

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 to LITE. The large burners (12,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units]) provide

the highest heat setting, and are ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and pans. The small burners

(9,100 Btu/h and 6,000 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 the burner off. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or

blown household fuse. Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the

valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained repair specialist.

Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not

provide correct polarity, the igniter 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.

area may become hot.

I REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop

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 setting. Do not use a grill or griddle accessory during a power failure, as the vent fan will not operate.

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.

• Quickly brown or sear food.

• Maintain a slow boil.

• Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

• Simmer.

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 anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
