• 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 by venting
with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood,
, WARNING: SAFETYPRECAUtiONS
When using your appliance, follow basic
safety precautions, including the following:
•Have the installer show you the location of
the rangetop gas shut-off valve and how to
turn it off if necessary.
Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the rangetop before operating it to
prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packing material ignite,
• Locate the rangetop out of kitchen traffic
path and out of drafty locations and areas
with poor air circulation.
• Do not install this product with an air curtain
hood or other range hood that operates by
blowing air down on the cooktop, This airflow
may interfere with operation of the gas
burners resulting in fire or explosion hazard,

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
_WARNING: SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual,
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your rangetop unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE RANGETOP POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER,
• Do not leave children alone--children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance.
• Do not store flammable materials near
the rangetop.
• Do not store plastic, flammable liquids or
combustible materials on top of the optional
high shell
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGETOP OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OF A RANGETOP--CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE RANGETOP TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Never use this appliance as a space heater
to heat or warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning or
overheating of the appliance.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored over
the rangetop. Flammable material could be
ignited if brought in contact with surface
burners or burner grates and may cause
severe burns.
Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch
surface burners, burner grates or oven heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth.
When surface cooking, do not touch surface
burners, burner grates, grill or griddle (on
some models} or the surrounding areas.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact,
the surface burners, grill or griddle (on some
models), and areas near the surface burners;
allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the rangetop,
areas facing the rangetop, or any backguard
or high shelf surface.
Keep the ventilator hood and grease filters
clean to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case
of fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or
other spirits on the rangetop. The blower, if in
operation, could spread the flames.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
AWARNING: SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off, Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit
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 OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, 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 rangetop. Clean grease troughs (some
models) and burner pans after every use.
If you smell gas, the installer has not done a
proper job of checking for leaks, You can have a
small leak, and therefore a faint gas smell, if the
connections are not completely tight,
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself
procedure, Some leaks can only be found
with the burner control in the ON position, For
your protection, it must be done by a qualified
service technician, Never use an open flame to
locate a leak,
• If by some chance a burner goes out and
gas escapes, open a window or a door to
let the room air out. Do not attempt to use
the appliance until the gas has had time to
dissipate, Follow the instructions in "What to
do if You Smell Gas" on page 2,
• Be sure all the controls are turned off and
the appliance is cool before using any type of
aerosol cleaner or cooking spray on or around
the appliance, The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the presence of heat,
ignite or cause metal parts to corrode,
Do not heat unopened food containers; a
buildup of pressure may cause the container
to burst,
• Set the burner control so that the flame
heats only the bottom of the pan and does
not extend beyond the bottom of the pan,
Excessive flame is hazardous, The high BTU
burners can easily melt cookware handles,
• Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot
holder, to prevent movement of the utensil
when stirring or turning food,
• Always use the LITE position when igniting
the surface burners and make sure the
burners have ignited,

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
IkWARNING: SURFACE COOKING SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
• Never leave the surface burners unattended •
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire, If the burner flames are smothered
by a severe boilover which affects the igniter,
unburned gas will escape into the room,
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back of
the rangetop without extending over adjacent
burners,
• Always turn the surface burners to OFF
before removing cookware.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a 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
the sides of the pan,
• Use the 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,
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point,
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it
heats.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer, Wait until the fat is cool,
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly,
• When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for top-of-rangetop cooking,
• Do not leave any items on the rangetop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst,
• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates
or line any part of the rangetop. Doing so
may result in carbon monoxide poisoning,
overheating of the rangetop surfaces, or a
potential fire hazard,
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 save cleaning time and prevent
hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy
spattering or spillovers left on the rangetop
can ignite, Use pans with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool,
Do not leave plastic items on the rangetop--
they may melt if left too close to the vent or
burner,
To 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 them,
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it, Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the grill or the
griddle grease troughs (some models), Clean
these areas after each use,
For proper lighting and performance of the
rangetop burners, keep the burner ports
clean. It may be necessary to clean these
when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light, even though the electronic
igniters click,
After cleaning, it is important to make sure
the cap and burner port are properly aligned
with the burner base. Incorrect alignment
will produce poor burner performance, Never
operate the burner without all burner parts in
place,
Clean the rangetop with caution. Avoid
steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth
to clean the rangetop while it is hot, Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface, Follow manufacturer's directions,
Do not use the grill for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products that can flare-up.
If the rangetop is located near a window, do
not hang long curtains that could blow over
the surface burners and create a fire hazard,

The rangetop is equipped with electronic ignition
which eliminates the need for a standing pilot
light,
The burners will automatically relight if the flame
goes out,
All surface burner igniters will spark and make
clicking sounds when any burner is turned on,
Do not touch any of the burners when igniters
are clicking,
Occasionally the burners may spark if excess
wind or a draft blows the flame away from the
burner's flame sensor,
The griddle and IR (infrared) grill are equipped
with GIo-Bar igniters, The GIo-Bar remains
energized whenever the griddle or IR grill is in
use to ensure the burner always stays lit,
In case of a power outage, you can light the
surface burners on your rangetop with a match,
Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the
knob to the LOW position, Use extreme caution
when lighting burners this way.
Do not attempt to light the grill or griddle during
a power outage, The gas to these burners will
automatically shut off during a power outage,

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,
The indicator light on each bezel verifies the
burner is on, However, it should not be a
substitute for visually checking the flame at the
burner,
Dual-flame
stacked
burners
All surface burners have two sets of flames
stacked one on top of the other; the dual-flame
burners have a lower (simmer) flame and a
upper (main) flame,
When a burner is turned on, the lower flame
will always light and stay on,
Simmering:
The stacked burner design provides a wide
rangetop of heat settings with which to simmer,
Depending on the type and quantity of food,
and pan size, the flame can be adjusted to suit
your specific need, The lowest setting uses only
the lower flame and can maintain delicate foods
at a safe 140°F,
Cooking:
Settings from LO to X-HI will use both upper
and lower flames, Use LO to HI for all purpose
cooking, Use HI or X-HI (highest setting) with
larger diameter cookware,

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you increase
or reduce heat,
The flame size on a gas burner should match
the cookware you are using,
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER
LETTHE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE
COOKWARE, Any flame larger than the bottom of
the cookware will not result in faster heating and
could be hazardous, For surface stability, 6" minimum diameter
cookware is recommended, Use larger
diameter cookware for heat settings between
HI and )<-HI,
Wok
cooking
The burner grates are uniquely designed
to cook on either side, The flat side
accommodates flat bottom cookware
(stockpots, sauce pans, frying pans and flat
bottom woks), while the wok side is designed
to hold a wide variety of round bottom woks
without the need for a separate ring,
For easy access, a front burner locution is
recommended for wok cooking.
The front center burner is recommended for wok
cooking on 6-burner 36" and 48" rangetops,

unattended at any time.
Grease Flare-ups:
Occasionally, during grilling, grease drippings
can ignite creating minor bursts of flame for a
second or two. This is normal when grilling.
The grill radiant baffle is designed to catch
excess grease, limiting flare-ups.
If a flare-up becomes excessive, remove the
food from the grill and lower the heat setting
until the flare-up subsides.
To further reduce flare-ups, trim excess fat
around the edges of steaks and chops, use
hamburger that is lean, remove the skin from
poultry, etc.
Use a long spatula and a non-flammable mitt
when turning food on the grill.
Grill Cover:
Remove the cover before lighting the burner. For
your safety, the cover must be removed when
using the grill. If the cover is left in place it will
become extremely hot.
Cookware:
Do not use any cookware on the grill.
Using the
IR grill
Remove the cover before lighting the burner. The
cover must be removed when using the IRgrill.
Set the control knob to PREHEAT. The longer the
grill is preheated, the darker the grill marks will
be on the food.
Allow 5 to 15 minutes to fully preheat the grill.
After preheat, the control knob may be set to
any position between HI and LO.
Do not leave the grill unattended at any time.
The intense heat caramelizes fats and juices
creating authentic barbecued flavor. The IR grill
will achieve the same results as an outdoor grill.
All gas grills cook differently. Adjust cooking
times and methods when using the IR grill.
Clean the grill grate, grease trough and grease
basin after each use. Remove the parts for
cleaning after they are cool to the touch.
NOTE: The grill will take approximately
45 seconds to ignite. Unlike the surface burners,
which use electric igniters, the grill uses
a GIo-Bar for ignition. It takes approximately
45 seconds for the GIo-Bar to reach
temperature. Gas is only supplied to the grill
once the GIo-Bar reaches temperature.

GriN grates
(on some model.s)
Remove the cover before lighting the IR grill.
The grill grate is reversible. Place the handle end
toward the front of the Rangetop.
The grate will change color when subjected
to the heat, and as oils cook onto the surface.
This is normal and does not affect the cooking
performa nce.
The porcelainized cast-iron grill grate does not
need to be seasoned.
One side of the grate (Side A) is grooved and
should be used for foods such as steak or
hamburger patties. The grooves are sloped so
the excess liquids and oils run toward the front
of the grill and into the grease trough.
The other side of the grate (Side B) is designed
for delicate foods such as fish.
Turn and move foods as needed.

radiant
baffle
Models equipped with an IR grill have a radiant
baffle which distributes the heat from the
burners evenly across the grill area. The grill
baffle also helps to limit grease flare-ups.
The grill baffle rests on tabs in the grill opening.
Be sure the baffle is secured in place by fully
engaging the tabs.
IMPORTANT: Avoid contact with the igniter. It is
fragile and can chip or break.

Remove the metal cover and the cutting board
before turning the griddle on.
The griddle assembly should not be removed
for cleaning.
Once the unit is in position, the griddle can be
leveled. Remove the flue cover by lifting it straight
up. Be careful not to scratch the surrounding
stainless steel surfaces during removal of the
flue cover.
The two inner screws are clamping screws for
securing the griddle in place. Loosen these two
screws before leveling. Do not remove these two
screws.
The two outer screws are leveling screws. Do not
remove these two screws. They can be turned to
level the griddle or to provide a forward slope to
help grease and oils to drain away from the food
being cooked. After the first few uses, you will be
able to judge the slope best suited for the foods
you are cooking and personal preference.
fffff_
After leveling the griddle, tighten the clamping
screws to secure griddle in place. Hand tighten
screws; do not over-tighten.
SeaSOn
the griddle
Before using the griddle for the first time, it must
be seasoned.
If the griddle has not been used for a period of
time, it should be reseasoned.
1. Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy
water to remove any protective coating.
2. Wipe the surface using a solution of 1 quart
water and 1 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3. Use a paper towel and wipe 1 tablespoon
vegetable oil evenly across the griddle. Do not
use corn oil as it can get sticky.
4. Turn the control knob to 400°F for approximately
30 minutes. Turn the heat off when the oil starts
to shimmer.
S. Repeat Step 3. Be sure to cover the entire
surface with the oil.
6. Allow the griddle to cool. Wipe the entire surface
of the griddle using a heavy cloth to remove the
oil. The griddle is now ready to use.
Using
the griddle
The griddle surface is a combination of highly
polished Type 304 stainless steel and an aluminum
thermal plate for even heat distribution. It is
normal for it to darken with use as oils cook onto
the surface to provide a stick-resistant base or
"seasoning."
The griddle is thermostatically controlled and can
be set to maintain any temperature from 200°F
to 450°F.
NOTE: Unlike the surface burners, which use
electric igniters, the griddle uses a GIo-Bar for
ignition. It takes approximately 45 seconds for
the GIo-Bar to reach temperature. Gas is only
supplied to the griddle once the GIo-Bar reaches
temperature.
To heat the griddle, push in the control knob and turn
to the desired temperature setting. The light on the
bezel will glow to indicate the thermostat control
isworking.
