important Safety instructions
•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.
•NeverLeaveSurfaceBurners/UnitUnattended
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 Decorative Surface Burner
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 is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers
are touched. Damage may also be done to the

Liquefied Petroleum
(Propane) Gas Conversion
This appliance can be used with Natural Gas and
Propane Gas. It is shipped from the factory for use
with natural gas.
A kit for converting to LP gas is supplied with your
cooktop. The kit is marked "FOR LP/PROPANE
GAS CONVERSION". Follow the installation
instructions which are inside the envelope.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified
service technician in accordance with the kit
instructions and all local codes and requirements.
Failure to follow instructions could result in serious
injury or property damage. The qualified agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for the
conversion.

Flame Size
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii_i1%iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
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 is too 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.
w
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken
sauces, gravies; steam
*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.
Proper Burner Adjustments
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 isyellow-orange. To clean burner, see
instructions under General Care & Cleaning,

Surface Cooking
Location of the Burners
The cooktop is equipped with 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;
a 20 000 BTU (natural gas) burner located at
the center rear position;
a 9 500 BTU (natural gas) burners located at the
left front position;
a 7 500 BTU (natural gas) burners located at the
left rear position;
and a 12 000 BTU (natural gas) burner located
at the right front position.
Placement of burner caps
Place a burner cap on each burner head,
matching the cap size to the head size. The
cap for each burner has an inner locating
ring which centers the cap correctly on the
burner head. Be sure that all the burner
caps and burner heads are correctly placed
BEFORE using your appliance.
Make sure each burner cap is properly
aligned and level.
Turn the burner on to determine if it will
light. If the burner does not light, contact a
Service Center. Do not service the sealed
burner yourself.
ATTENTION: Do not slide the burner caps
on the cooktop, doing so can damage the
surface.

• Curved and warped pan
bottoms.
• Pan overhangs unit by more
than 2.5 cm (1").
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Flame extends beyond unit.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Some utensils
were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.
Setting surface controls
Your cooktop may be equipped with any
combination of the following burners:
Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate
sauces, etc.
Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking
needs.
Large Burner: best used when bringing large
quantities of liquid to temperature and when
preparing larger quantities of food.
Regardless of size, always select a utensil
that is suitable for the amount and type of food
being prepared. Select a burner and flame size
appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to
extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
The valves provide enhanced control of the burner
flame. Each burner
lights automatically
from an electric ignitor
when its control knob
is pushed.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner. _,_
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to th
symbol.
Note: All electronic ignitors will click at the same time
when the knob is pushed in. However, only the burner
you are turning on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Turn the control knob to the desired flame size.
The control knobs do not have to be set at a
particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the
flame as needed.
In the event of an electrical power outage, the
surface burners can be lit manually. To light a
surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head,
then slowly turn the Surface Control knob to light
position. Use caution when lighting surface burners
manually.

Surface Cooking
Using the griddle
The griddle is intended for direct food cooking
and can be used on both sides. Do not use pans
or other cookware on the griddle. Doing so could
damage the finish. With the grate in position over
the burner, set the griddle on top of the grate
positioning the notches in the griddle over the
grate fingers (refer to figures 1 and 2 for optimal
positioning).
Using the simmer plate (accessory not included)
The simmer plate is intended to diffuse lower temperature of the
burner to help cooking delicate aliment such as chocolate, milk,
bechamel, etc. It can also be use for cooking sauce during long
period. With the grate in position over the burner, set the simmer
plate on top of the grate positioning the notches under the simmer
plate around the grate fingers and then place the utensil on the
simmer plate.
