Safety
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners/Unit
--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
•Never Leave Surface Burners/Unit Unattended at High Heat Settings--Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
•Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop, use aluminum foil only
to cover food during cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock,
or fire.
•Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change
in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
•Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The Searing Grill is not designed for use on the cooktop.
Doing so may result in a fire.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner/Unit Covers. If a burner/unit is accidentally turned on, the
decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner/unit
is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or
burners/unit because the covers may cause overheating. Air will blocked from the burner/unit and
cause combustion problems.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GLASS COOKTOP
•Do Not Operate or Clean a Broken Cooktop Glass.--If glass top should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
•Clean Cooktop Glass with Caution.--If awet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
•Avoid Scratching the Cooktop Glass with Sharp Objects.

Surface Cooking
FLAMESiZE
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to
complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for
various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If
the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat istoo hot, the food
will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too
much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
RIGHT
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with
lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans,
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame
simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the
flame.
PROPERBURNERADJUSTMENTS
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue
and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply
defined. Adjust or clean burner ifflame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions
under General Care & Cleaning.
LOCATIONSOFTHEBURNERS
Your cooktop isequipped with 5 different sized burners.
The surface burners are located on the cooktop as follows (See Figure):
- a 5 000 BTU (natural gas) burner located at the right rear position;
- two 9 500 BTU (natural gas) burners located at the left and center rear
positions;
