COOKTOP USE

WARNING

Sealed Surface Burners

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 without cookware on the grate.

To Set:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. IMPORTANT: 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 Hi and Lo.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

IMPORTANT: When cooktop is in use, the Self-Cleaning cycle will be disabled. An error tone will sound and the Cooktop On indicator light will ﬂash. If you turn on the cooktop when the Self-Cleaning cycle is in use, it will disable the Self-Cleaning cycle and “END” will be displayed.

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 the burner lights, turn knob to setting.

A. Burner cap B. Burner base C. Alignment pins

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.

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.

A. 1-11/2" (2.5-3.8 cm) B. Burner ports

Burner ports: Check burner ﬂames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. 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.

D. Igniter E. Gas tube opening

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 the “General Cleaning” section.

2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
