• Begin by ensuring proper installation and grounding of the appliance by a
qualified technician according to the accompanying Installation Instructions.
Have the installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located so that you
know how and where to turn off power. Also, have the installer show you the
location of the gas supply. If you smell gas, do not use the cooktop. Immediately
turn off the gas supply at the shut off valve, disconnect electrical power to the
unit at the fuse or junction box and contact the gas supplier or qualified
appliance technician.
•Ensure that the cooktop is used only by those individuals who are able to
operate it properly.
•Use the cooktop only for cooking tasks expected of a home appliance as outlined
in this manual.
•Properly clean and maintain as recommended in this manual, cleaning only the
parts listed.
•Use only dry potholders to avoid steam burns when removing hot cookware.
•In the event that a burner flame goes out and gas escapes, open a window or
door. Wait at least 5 minutes before attempting to use the cooktop.
•Select utensils of the proper size, material and construction for the particular
type of cooking being done. Select utensils that are large enough to contain food
without boil-overs or spillovers. Choose pans with easily grasped handles that
will stay cool while cooking. Do not use utensils with loose handles. Avoid using
pans that are too heavy to lift safely. Use cookware only for its intended purpose.
Certain types of glass, ceramic, and earthenware utensils are suitable for use
only in an oven and not in cooktop applications.
•When cooking, set the burner controls so that the flame heats only the bottom of
the utensil and does not lick at the sides of the utensil.
•When deep fat frying, be certain that the pan is large enough to contain the
desired volume of food without overflow caused by bubbling of the fat. Never
leave a deep fat fryer unattended. Avoid deep fat frying of moist or frost-covered
foods. Foods with high water content may cause spattering or spilling of the hot
fat. Heat fat slowly and stir together any combinations of oils and fats prior to
applying heat. Utilize a deep fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the fat to
temperatures above the flash point.
•Always turn pan handles to the side or back of the cooktop. Do not turn handles
towards the room where they are easily hit. Handles should not extend over
adjacent burners.

•Always check the positions of the control knobs to make sure the cooktop is off
when you are finished cooking.
•Before performing any service, turn off the gas supply by closing the gas shut-off
valve and turning off the electrical power supply.
•Always light each burner prior to placing a utensil on the burner grate. Also, turn
the control knob to the “off” position before removing a utensil from the burner
grate.
•Always clean the cooktop cautiously. If using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until
the cooktop has cooled sufficiently to prevent steam burns. Also, some cleaners
can produce harmful or unpleasant fumes if applied to hot surfaces.
•Keep any ventilation filters clean to avoid grease fires.
•Always set utensils gently onto the grates and center them so that they are well-
balanced.
•Always keep the cooktop surface clean and dry.

•Do not use the cooktop for warming or heating the room.
•Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the cooktop is in
use. Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop. Do not let
children play with the cooktop.
•Do not store items of interest to children above the cooktop. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.
•Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the cooktop.
•Do not repair or replace any part of the cooktop unless specifically
recommended in literature accompanying this appliance. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
•Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Smother
any flames with a lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease can be
extinguished with baking soda or a multipurpose chemical or foam extinguisher.
•Do not allow potholders to touch gas burners. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth
as a potholder.
•Do not block or obstruct the holes beneath the control knobs. Blocking these
holes may affect burner operation and may result in a hazard.
•When using the cooktop, do not touch the grates, burner caps, burner bases, or
any other parts in proximity to the flame. These components may be hot enough
to cause burns.
•If the cooktop is near a window, do not use long curtains as a window treatment.
They can blow over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
•Do not cover the burners and grates with anything except properly selected
utensils. Decorative covers should not be used.
•Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby food jars and cans.
Pressure buildup may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
•Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners or detergents on this appliance, as these
may cause permanent damage. Do not use aerosol cleaners, as these may be
flammable or cause corrosion of metal parts.
•Do not use or attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power failure.

Cooktop Features
SEALED BURNERS
All Electrolux Icon Cooktops (E30GC64ESS, E36GC65ESS, E46GC66ESS,
E46GC67ESS) are equipped with sealed burners. Burner configurations vary by
cooktop size. See Figure 1 for a detailed burner layout for your model.
Figure 1

10 Cooktop Features
BRASS BURNER RINGS
All burners are attached to the cooktop by retaining nuts. Gaskets around the
undersides of the burner cross rings and burner bases ensure that the burners are
sealed, thereby preventing any liquid spills from entering the cooktop chassis. All
spills remain on the surface of the cooktop.
The brass burner heads spread the flame evenly around the burner perimeters.
The burner heads must seat properly in the burner cross rings or burner bases to
enable proper cooktop operation. To ensure proper seating, positioning tabs have
been placed on the bottom of each burner cross ring or burner head to slide into
corresponding notches in the fixed burner base.
BURNER IGNITORS
A burner igniter is located on each gas burner base. When a control
knob is rotated more than 90 degrees counterclockwise, all ignitors
will spark simultaneously, but only the selected burner will ignite.
Additionally, due to Vantage Flame™, the automatic reignition
feature, the igniters will spark automatically if a flame should blow
out or be severely distorted by a draft or by a ventilation system.
Burner igniters must always be kept clean and dry to function
properly. Dirty or wet igniters will result in constant sparking, even if
there is a flame present. See Figure 2.
SEALED BURNER CONFIGURATIONS
On E30GC64ESS Cooktop, there are a total of four burners, including one burner
rated at a maximum output of 14,000 BTU/HR, one burner rated at a maximum of
12,500 BTU/HR and two burners rated at a maximum output of 8,500 BTU/HR. The
knobs are grouped in twos. The front two knobs operate the front two burners, and
the rear two knobs control the two rear burners.
On the E36GC65ESS Cooktop, there are a total of five burners, including one
burner rated at a maximum output of 14,000 BTU/HR, two burners rated at a
maximum of 12,500 BTU/HR and two burners rated at a maximum output of 8,500
BTU/HR. The knobs are positioned to correspond with the burner layout.
