COOKTOPUSE

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.

Power TM 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.

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 Set:

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, sound, and "Loc On" and a cooktop icon will appear on the

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE display. After 3 seconds the clock display will reappear.

IGNITE • Light the burner, for 3 seconds, and the cooktop icon will disappear from the

HIGH

Between HIGH and LOW

LOW

Start food cooking. Bring liquid to a boil.

Hold a rapid boil. Quickly brown or sear food. Fry or saute foods. Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

Stew or steam foods.

Keep food warm. Simmer.

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

Repeat to unlock cooktop. "Loc OFF" will appear on the display

display.

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

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models)

during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may

become hot. I

To Clean: 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.

A. Burner cap B. Burner base

C. Alignment pins D. Igniter

E.Gas tube opening

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.

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.

iii!

A. 1-1V2" (25-38 mm) 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 Clean: 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.

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.

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

Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. Ifthe burner still does not light, do not service the sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

Ceramic or • Follow manufacturer's instructions. Ceramic glass • 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-on-

steel or cast iron

Stainless steel • Heats quickly, but unevenly.

• A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.
