to any burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

SAFETY PRACTICES& PRECAUTIONS
[] Be certain to use only dry pot holders; moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause
burn injury from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not
let pot holders touch hot burners, or burner grates.

Z_ WARNING:
When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate
surrounding area. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to
cause burns.
[] Never Beave the cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. A possible boil over
could cause smoking or greasy spill overs may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are
smothered by a severe boil over which effects the igniter, the unburned gas will escape into
the room, which would be extremely dangerous.
[] Only certain types of glass, heat-proof giass<eramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for use on the open flame of the cooktop. Utensils that are not thermally
heat safe may break with sudden temperature changes.
[] Do not heat unopened food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
[] During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats at the bottom of the pan and
does not curl around the bottom edges of the pan.This could heat and/or melt the handles.
[] Always use utensils that have fiat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of
undersized utensils wiii expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing.
[] To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and accidental spill overs, position handles
of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work ateas, cooking areas, or the outside
edges of the cooktop.
[] Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
[] Grease is flammable. Do not use water on grease fires.Turn OFF the burner, then smother the
fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Let hot grease coo[
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the base of the
cooktop burners.Clean after each use or boil over.
[] Use splatter screens over pans when frying foods to minimize possible grease burns. Be sure
not to use a flame that is too high.
[] For proper lighting and performance of the cooktop burners, keep the burner ports dean. it
may be necessary to dean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light,
even though the electronic igniters click.

The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil, the
material of the cooking utensil, the amount and type of food and the amount of liquid in the utensil
Following are some basic rules for selecting flame height.
[] For safety reasons the flame must never extend
beyond the bottom of the cooking utensil
[] Never allow flames to cur[ up the side of the pan.
[] Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass _
ceramic) should be used with medium to low flames.
If you are cooking with a large amount of liquid a
slightly larger flame can be used.

BURNER GRATES:
The cast iron burner grates are fully porcelain coated for long
life and rust prevention. HFTemperature cushions allow the
grate to rest softly on the cooktop without scratching. The
grates are designed for easy sliding of pots across the grate
tops.They were designed in interlocking sections to make them
safer, easier to remove and dean. For additional cleaning tips
see the care and maintenance section.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE COOKTOP
Z_ WARNING:
Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance while hot.
All parts of the appliance can be cleaned with a small amount of hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed
to a shine with asoft, heavy pile cloth. Always try this first, as it is the mildest cleaning procedure.
1. Use the mildest cleansers first. Some brands of cleaners are harsher than others and may cause
metal parts to discolor or corrode, read their directions. Be sure all the cooktop controls are
turned OFF and the appliance is COOL before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around
the appliance.The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat,
ignite.
2. To avoid marring the surfaces, always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish lines.
The cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish Hines.
3. Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels, and plastic non-metal for cleaning or scouring
(use only soap pads with soap still in them, an empty pad can scratch),as recommended in this
section.
4,
5.
Be sure to rinse all parts thoroughly and wipe dry to avoid water marks.
If stains remain on the bottom of the cooktop sump, use this easy procedure. Place a paper
collar around the burner and igniter, tape it together.This will cover the aluminum under the
burner cap and the igniter. Spray the dirty area with Easy OfP or SOSOven Cleaner o when cool.
Cover with paper towel. Leave on for 4 hours or overnight.With a warm wet sponge, wipe clean
and polish with a lint free soft towel.You should never use anything stronger than a sponge or
a plastic non-metal sponge on your cooktop.
For your convenience, a sample bottle of Stainless Steel Magic o has been included with your cooktop.
DO NOT use this or similar products on bezels and knobs. Discoloration may occur.
BRAND NAMES:
In this section, the use of name brands is intended only to indicate a type of cleaner.
This does not constitute an endorsement. The omission of any name brand cleaner does not imply
its adequacy or inadequacy. Many products are regional in distribution and can be found in the local
markets and department stores.
CLEANING THE BURNER GRATES:
Turn offal[ the burners and allow the grates to coo[ before starting to dean the cooktop. Rapid
cooling of the grates, for instance, placing hot grates in coo[ or tepid water to dean, can thermally
shock the porcelain coating and cause cracking or chipping. If you wipe off any part of the cooktop
while it is hot, do so carefully as using a wet sponge or cloth can result in steam burns.
Once the grates are cool they may be wiped clean while on the cooktop using hot soapy water, then
rinsed and wiped dry or they may be placed in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.The occasional use of
mild abrasive cleansers such as Bon-Ami, Soft Scrub" or a soap-filled plastic or non-metal pad is okay.
Abrasive cleansers, used vigorously or too often, can eventually harm the enamel. Apply with a damp
sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE BURNERS:
For proper Highting and performance, keep the
burners dean and dry. Htis necessary to dean
the burners if they do not Hight aHthough the
igniter chicks, whenever there has been a severe
boll over or when the flame doesn't burn bHue.
Be certain a[[ burner knobs are in the OFF
position before attempting to dean the
burners. The burners have been designed for
ease of cHeaning.When the grates and burners
are cooH,remove the grate.The Burner Cap and
the BrassPort Ring can easily be lifted off.Wash
these parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry
thoroughHy. The Burner Caps are porceHain
enameH,follow the directions on page 8 that
were given to dean the burner grates.A bristle
brush can be used to dean out the toothed
burner ports, if necessary. DisassembHyof the

After cleaning, it is important to make sure the Locating Pin on the bottom side of the Simmer Ring is
properHy aHigned with the corresponding homein the Base and that the Locating Pin (see above) in the
bottom side of the Brass Port Ring is properHy aHigned with the Locating Notch on the top side of the

performance. See the iHHustration above.
