How to Remove Packaging Tape.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left
from packaging tape on new appliances is an application
of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral
oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow
to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish
to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the
chrome trim on cooktop parts. It cannot be removed if
it is baked on.
Write down the model and serial numbers.
You’ll find them on a label located in the burner box
under the cooktop.

Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of
these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the
incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish
rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by venting with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When You Get Your Cooktop
When you get your cooktop, have the installer
show you the location of the gas cut-off valve
and how to shut it off if necessary.
• Have your cooktop installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance
with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment
and service should be performed only by qualified
gas cooktop installers or service technicians.
• Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding
prong from the plug. If in doubt about the
grounding of the home electrical system, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have an
ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly-
grounded three-prong outlet in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use an
extension cord with this appliance.
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from
the cooktop before operating it, to prevent fire or
smoke damage should the packing material ignite.
• Don’t attempt to repair or replace any
part of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a
qualified service technician or installer for the
type of gas (natural or LP) which is to be used.
Your cooktop can be converted for use with either
type of gas. See Installation Instructions. Model
JGP319EP is factory adjusted for LP gas operation.
WARNING: This conversion kit must be installed
by a qualified service technician in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage. The qualified
agency performing this work assumes responsibility
for the conversion.
Using Your Cooktop
• Don’t leave children alone or unattended
where a cooktop is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A COOKTOP—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE COOKTOP TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Teach children not to play with the controls or
any other part of the cooktop.
• Let burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with flame or hot surfaces and
may cause severe burns.
• Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room. Prolonged use of the cooktop
in this way can be hazardous.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother
flaming pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray, or if
available, use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering with baking soda or if available a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• When using glass cookware make sure it is
designed for cooktop cooking.
• Do not store flammable materials near the
cooktop. Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
• Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in
or near the cooktop.
• Never clean the cooktop surface when it
is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes
and wet cloths could cause steam burns if used
on a hot surface.
• Always use the LITE position when igniting
burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Use only dry pot holders—
moist or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let pot holders come near open
flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware
handles toward the side or center of the cooktop
without extending over adjacent burner.
• Always turn surface burner to off before
removing cookware.
• Watch foods being fried at high flame setting.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can
cause hot fat to bubble up and over sides of pan.
• Use least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too
full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• Use proper pan size—Avoid pans that are unstable
or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to properly contain food and
avoid boilovers and spillovers, and large enough to
cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning
time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food,
since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cooktop
can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily
grasped and remain cool.
• Keep all plastics away from burners.
• To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
off position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove a grate.
• If cooktop is located near a window, do not use
long curtains which could blow over the burners
and create a fire hazard.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop
and call a qualified service technician. Never use
an open flame to locate a leak.
• Don’t use aluminum foil to line drip pans.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage
to the cooktop.
• Do not cover or block the area around the
cooktop knobs. This area must be kept clear for
proper ventilation and burner performance.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly
and always cook the meat to an internal temperature
of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be present in the meat,
it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.
• Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if
the wok has a round metal ring which is placed
over the burner grate to support the wok. This
ring acts as a heat trap which may damage the
burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause
the burner to work improperly. This may cause a
carbon monoxide level above that allowed by
current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE
TO YOUR OLD ONE?
Type of Cooktop Description How It Works
Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
gas burners use pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change
either LP gas heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
or natural gas.
Radiant Electric coils Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on
(Glass Ceramic) under a glass- the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to
Cooktop ceramic cooktop. continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if
you want cooking to stop.
Induction High frequency Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is
induction coils produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away
under a glass and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control
surface. off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
Electric Coil Flattened metal Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best
tubing containing cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of
electric resistance warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change
wire suspended heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to
over a drip pan. continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.
Solid Disk Solid cast iron Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good
disk sealed to the cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The
cooktop surface. disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.
Your new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used
to cooking with induction or other electric surface
units, you will notice some differences when you
use gas burners.
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or
surface unit you have.
The following chart will help you to understand the
differences between gas burner cooktops and any
other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

USING YOUR COOKTOP
Models: JGP319, JGP320
Automatic Pilotless Ignition
Your surface burners are lit by electric ignition, eliminating the need for
standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.
In case of a power outage, you can light the burners with a match.
Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position.
To avoid burning your hand, use extreme caution when lighting burners
this way.
To Light a Burner
Push the control knob in and turn it
to LITE. You will hear a little
clicking noise—the sound of the
electric ignition spark that lights
the burner.
After the burner ignites, turn the
knob to adjust the flame size.
• Do not operate the burner for an
extended period of time with out
cookware on the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip with out
cookware to absorb the heat.
• Check to be sure the burner
you turn on is the one you want
to use.
• Be sure the burners and grates
are cool before you place your
hand, a pot holder, cleaning
cloths or other materials on them.

Using Your Cooktop
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using.
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER
LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF
THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom
of the cookware is wasted heat and only serves to
heat the handle.
Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.
Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet.
Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids for cooking with
minimum amounts of water.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the
enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for
cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—
those for oven use only and those for surface cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat
very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware
manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used
on gas cooktops.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating
properties, and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for improved heat
distribution. Combination metal skillets generally
work satisfactorily if they are used at medium heat
as the manufacturer recommends.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you
use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available
at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that
have support rings. Use
of these types of woks,
with or without the ring
in place, can be
dangerous. Placing the
ring over the burner
grate may cause the burner to work improperly
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable
current standards. This could be dangerous to your
health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring.
You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and cleaning are important so your
cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions carefully in caring
for it.
Before cleaning any part of your cooktop, be sure all
burners are off and DISCONNECT ELECTRIC
POWER TO THE COOKTOP at the fuse box or
circuit breaker panel, or pull the cooktop power cord
plug from the electric outlet, located on back wall
below cooktop.
Lift-Up Top
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil,
especially grease, may catch fire. To make cleaning
under the top easier, the top may be lifted up and
supported by a locking arm. After cleaning under the
top with hot, soapy water, lower the top back in place.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
To raise cooktop:
Be sure all burners are turned off and unit is cool.
Remove cooktop burner bowls, grates and control
knobs. Grasp cooktop at the front and lift up. Raise
the support rod into place and hook it into the bracket
on the underside of the cooktop to hold the cooktop
while cleaning. Be sure to secure the cooktop support
rod in the cooktop strike catch.
To lower cooktop:
Carefully replace the support rod and lower the
cooktop. Press into place. Make sure the strikes fit in
the catches to fasten the cooktop. Replace four surface
units and control knobs.
Support rod
Porcelain Cooktop Control Panel
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid resistant.
However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit
juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry
paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the
surface has cooled, wash with soap and water or
cleansing powders. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with
soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface
has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel clean after
each use of the cooktop. For a more thorough
cleaning, the knobs can be removed by pulling them
off the knob stems. Clean with mild soap and water,
rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong liquid cleaners or
oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage
the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water
works well.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.
To remove knob, pull it straight off the stem. If knob
is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a
handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around
the knob edge and pull up.
Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak. Avoid
getting water down into the knob stem holes.
To replace knob, locate
the groove in each side
of the knob stem. One of
the grooves contains a
spring clip and the other
groove is clear. Locate the
molded rib inside the
knob. Fit the molded rib
into the clear groove on
the knob stem.

Care and Cleaning
Burner Grates Drip Pans
Burner grates should be washed regularly and, of
course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water
and rinse with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth—
don’t put them back on the cooktop wet. When replacing
the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the
burners.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a
covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup
ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes. Wash,
rinse well, and dry.
Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually
lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can
give them. This is due to their continual exposure to
high temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the
grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Drip pans can permanently discolor if exposed to
excessively high heat or if soil is allowed to bake on.
Remove the grates. Then lift out the drip pans.
To remove brown food stains, soak them for about
20 minutes in slightly diluted liquid cleanser or a mild
solution of ammonia and water (1/2 cup of ammonia
to one gallon of water). Rinse with clean water.
Blue/gold heat stains can be lessened with a metal
polish but are usually permanent. To minimize
staining, avoid excessive use of high heat setting and
use flat bottom pans that do not extend more than two
inches from the surface burner.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
When replacing drip pans, the notch on the rear pan
and the notch on the front pan should meet in the middle.
Cooktop Burners
The holes in the burners must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition
and an even, unhampered flame.
You should clean the burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers which
could clog these holes. Burners lift out for cleaning if the shipping screw
was removed at installation.
NOTE: A screw holds each of the burners in place to keep them from
wobbling around during shipment. Remove and discard the shipping screw.
Shipping
Screws
To remove burners:
1. Grasp burner head and tilt it to the right to release
the two tabs from slots in the burner support (A and B).
2. Lift the end of the burner assembly, then pull
away from the front of the range to free the air
shutter from the gas valve orifice.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burners in a
solution of mild liquid detergent and water. Soak the
burner for 20 to 30 minutes. If the food doesn’t rinse off
completely, scrub them with soap and water and a brush
or plastic pad. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleansers
because they will clog the burner openings and scratch
the burners. If the holes become clogged, clean them
with a small safety pin or a small sewing needle.
Do not attempt to clean burners in an automatic
dishwasher. Loosened food soil can clog burner
holes, and the strong action of the dishwasher
detergent can damage the burner heads.
Before putting the burners back, shake out excess
water and dry them thoroughly by setting them in a
warm oven for 30 minutes.
To replace burners:
1. Slip the air shutter over the gas valve orifice.
2. Lower the burner assembly and hook the tabs in
the slots in the burner support.
3. Be sure both tabs are in their slots, that the burner
sits level and straight, and that the flash tube forms
a straight line from the igniter to the burner.

Air Shutter

MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE
Air Adjustment
An air adjustment shutter for each surface burner
regulates the flow of air to the flame.
When the right amount of air flows into the
burner, the flame will be steady, relatively quiet and
have approximately 3/4 inch sharp blue cones. This is
usually the case with factory preset shutters.
With too much air, the flame will be unsteady,
possibly won’t burn all the way around, and will be
noisy, sounding like a blowtorch.
With not enough air, you won’t see any sharp blue
cones in the flame, you may see yellow tips, and soot
may accumulate on cookware.
If an air adjustment is needed, remove the control
knobs and lift cooktop.
If the flames are yellow, use pliers to open the air
shutter more. If they blow away from the burner, close
the air shutter more. Be sure to keep the gap in the air
shutter facing straight up. Be careful not to distort the air
shutter when making adjustments with the pliers.
Now look at the inner cone of the flame. It should be
about 3/4-inch long for all surface burners. If the
flame is not the right length, the orifice hood must be
adjusted. Use a 1/2-inch open-end wrench to tighten
the orifice hood by turning in the LP direction to
shorten and the Nat. direction to lengthen.
