Check Burner Cap Placement Before
Operating the Surface Burners
To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-
products, DO NOT use the cooktop without all burner caps
properly installed to ensure proper ignition and gas flame
size.
It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps
and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct
locations BEFORE operating the cooktop burners.
Remember:
• Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever
using a surface burner.
• When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner caps
are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads.
• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners DO NOT
allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to
enter the gas orifice port opening.
Round Style Burners
The burner cap lip (See Fig. 1) should fit snug into the
center of burner head and rest level. Refer to Figs. 2 & 3

may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware
requirements.
CORRECT
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does not tilt
pan. Pan is well balanced.
• Pan sizes match the amount
of food to be prepared.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
INCORRECT
• Curved and warped pan bottoms.
• Pan overhangs unit by more than
1" (2.5 cm).
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Flame extends beyond unit.

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
withametalringthatextendsbeyond
the burner unit. Because this ring
traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
Using a Wok (not supplied) Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use
on your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores. Round-
bottomed woks (with a support ring that
does not extend beyond the burner unit)
may also be used. The metal ring was
designed to support the wok safely when
it is filled with large amounts of liquids
(soup making) or fat (frying).
Wire trivets: DO NOT use wire trivets.
Cookware bottoms must be in direct
contact with the grates.
make good contact with
the entire surface heating
element. Check for flatness
by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware
(See Figure 1). Be sure to
follow the recommendations
for using cookware as
shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will

DO NOT place plastic
items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the range when
it is in use. These items could melt
or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood
spoons could catch fire if placed too
close to a flame.
Manual Lighting
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 LITE.
After burner lights, turn knob to desired
setting. Use caution when lighting
surface burners manually.
Your appliance is equipped with an integrated downdraft vent system that may be turned
on at any moment. This system helps remove smoke, odors and vapors from food
prepared on your cooktop.
To activate the downdraft vent system, simply turn the knob to the desired fan power
setting.
When you are finished operating the downdraft vent system, turn back the knob to the Off
position.
IMPORTANT: For best performance, the grease filter must be properly installed and often
cleaned. See the "General Care and Cleaning" section for more information.

Flame Size* Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations 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.
*These settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum
pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
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 sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Regardless of size, always select cookware 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.
NEVER extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk
of being burned by the flame (Figure 2).
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.
