SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
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 u yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized further by
venting with an open window or using the
ventilation fan.
When you get gour cooktop, have the
installer show gou the locution of the gas
shut-off valve end 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 range
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 isyour 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.
Be sure gour cooktop is correctlg adjusted bg
a qualified service technician or installer for
the tgpe of gas (natural or LP)which is to be
used.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of gour cooktop unless it is specificallg
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a cooktop is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
CAUTION: Itemsofinterestto
children should not be stored in cabinets above
a cooktop-children climbing on the cooktop to
reach items could be seriously injured.
-/iLWARNING: NEVERusethis
applianceasa spaceheatertoheator
warm theroom.Doingso may resultin
carbonmonoxide poisoningand
overheatingofthecooktop.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
• Do not clean the cooktop with flammable or
volatile cleaning fluids.
• Do not clean the cooktop when the appliance
is in use.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp
instruments, or with rings and other jewelry.
• Let the burner grates end other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
• Never use the cooktop as a cutting board.
• 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.
• For gour safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• 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.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
•Do not let cooking grease ur other flammable •
materials accumulate on ur near the cuoktop. •
• Never leave surface burners unattended at
high flume settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does
nut extend beyund the edge uf the cuokware.
Excessiveflame 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 flumes when lifting cookware. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot
holder.
• Tu minimize the possibility uf burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or center of
the cooktop without extending over adjacent
burner or vent urea.
• Always turn the surface burners to OFF
before removing the cookware.
• Foods for frying should be us dry us possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
• Use least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow ur deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too
full of fat can cause spillovers when food is
added.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at high
flume setting.
• If e cumbinution of oils ur fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
•Do nut use a wok on the cooking surface if
the wok has uround metal ring that is placed
over the burner grote 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.
Alwuys heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use udeep-fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.
Du nut flume foods on the cuoktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
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.
Tu avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the off position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove a grate.
If the cuoktop is located near a window, do
not use long curtains which could blow over the
burners and create a fire hazard.
If yuu smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
Du not cover or block the area around the
cuoktop knobs. This area must be kept clear
for proper ventilation and burner performance.
Cook meat and puultry thuroughly-meat to
at least an INTERNALtemperature of 160% and
poultry to at least an INTERNALtemperature of
180°F.Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.

Using Your Cooktop
Gas Cooktop
Electric
ignition Your surface burners are lit by electric ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with
constantly burning flames.
All five igniters make clicking sounds and spark
even when only a single burner is being turned
on. Do not touch any of the burners when the
igniters are clicking.
All of the burner igniters spark while o burner is
relighting.
In case of o power outage, you can light the
surface burners on your cooktop with a match.
Hold a lighted match to the burner; then turn the
knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme caution
when lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
To light a
burner Push the control knob down and turn it
counterclockwise to the LITEposition.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob in either
direction to adjust the flame size from HIto LO.
Toturn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise, as
far as it will go, to the OFFposition.
• All of the burners can be used for general
cooking.
Thefront right burner isthe maximum output
burner best for larger pans and to bring liquids
to a boil faster.
The smaller burners (center and right rear) will
give the best simmer results. They offer precise
cooking performance for delicate foods, such
as sauces or foods which need to cook over low
heat for a long time. They can be turned down
to a very low simmer setting.
• 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.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before
you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning
cloths or other materials on them.
• Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when
you finish cooking.
How to
select
flame size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce
heat.
Theflame size on a gas burner should be
approximately the same diameter of the
cookware you are using.
FORSAFEHANDLINGOFCOOKWARE,NEVER
LETTHEFLAMEEXTENDUPTHE SIDESOFTHE
COOKWARE.Any flame larger than the bottom of
the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.

Cookware Aluminum: Medium-weight cookwure is
recommended because it heats quickly and
evenly. Most foods brown evenly in aluminum
cookware. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids
for cooking with minimum amounts of water.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most cookware 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 cookware
generally works satisfactorily if it is used at
medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.
Wok this wag We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller
flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. Make
sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.
Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring
over the burner or grate may cause the burner
to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide
levels above allowable current standards. This
could be dangerous to your health.
Use oriot-bottomed wok.
Stove top
grills Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas
burners. Ifyou use the stove top grill on the
sealed gas burner it will cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levels above allowable current
standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

General
information Proper care and cleaning are important so your
cooktop will give you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions carefully in caring
for it.

protective
shipping
film and
packaging
tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel
it from the appliance surface. Do not use any
sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the
film before using the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive
from packaging tape on new appliances is an
application of a household liquid dishwashing
detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to
soak.
NOTE: Theadhesive must be removed from all
parts before using the cooktop. It cannot be
removed if it is baked on.

heads, remember their size and location.
Replace them in the same location after
cleaning. Theburner heads and burner bases
are labeled B, C0 and H to aid reassemblg.
Burner caps
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot,
soapy water and rinse with clean water. You
may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove
burned-on food particles.
Burner heads
The slits in the burner heads of your cooktop
must be kept clean at all times for an even,
unhampered flame.
You should clean the burner caps, burner heads
and burner bases routinely, especially after bad
spillovers, which could clog the openings in the
burner heads. Lift off when cool.
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner
heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent and
hot water for 20-30 minutes. For more stubborn
stains, use a toothbrush.
After cleaning
Before putting the burner caps and heads back,
shake out excess water and then dry them
thoroughly by setting in a warm oven for 30
minutes.
Replacement
The burner heads and burner bases are labeled
B,C, D and Hto aid reassembly.

Careand Cleaning
Gas Cooktop
Burner
grates Cast-iron burner grates should be washed
regularly and especially after spillovers.
The grates can be cleaned in a dishwasher or
wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with
clean water. You may also use abrasive cleaners
and steel wool pads to clean the burner grates.
Dry the grates with a cloth-do not place them
on the cooktop when wet.
Although they are 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 aburner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
After cleaning, replace the center grate first with
its locking side tabs toward the front. Replace the
side grates so that their side edges lock over the
tabs on the center grate. Make sure the grates
are positioned securely over the burners and
that they are stable and level.
Rubber Grate Feet
For stability, your cooktop has rubber feet on
the burner grates. If any of these rubber feet
should become damaged or lost, replace them
immediately.
