Lighting the Top Burners and
Grill
Cooktop is equipped with a spark ignition
system that is electrically operated. Pushing
in and turning the knob to any position will
light the burner. When the knob is turned, a
distinct clicking noise will be heard. After the
burner lights, the clicking noise will stop.
Note:Whenlightingany one burner, all
burnerswill spark, butonlytheburner
selected will light. All models feature “auto-
reignition” – should the flame go out for any
reason,theigniterautomatically beginstospark
tore-ignite theburner. See“Reference”section
formanuallighting
procedure.
Propane Stoves: a slight pop or flash may
occur at the burner ports for a few seconds
after the burner has been turned off. This
“extinction pop” is normal for propane gas.
Note: Incorrect burner alignment will produce
a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner
performance. (referto fig11)
Burner and Grill Operation

Pot ring support is used when cooking on top
burners while using a small pot. The trivet fits
on any burner. Each channel fits on one of 4

Grilling Guide
(For 36” units with grill feature)
Generally we recommend preheating the grill 10 minutes on high. This provides a more even
heating of the grill. Then follow the guide below.
When grilling roasts and thick meats sear on high then reduce heat to allow food to cook through-
out and not burn. Turn meats once after juices appear on the surface. Flare-ups will naturally
occur when fat falls on the flame so do not leave unattended. Until flaming subsides reduce heat
and use a long handled spatula or tongs to move meat to a different area of grill. Brush BBQ
sauces on during last few minutes of grilling.

Porcelain – Legacy Series
Keeping it clean
The porcelain is very serviceable and simple
to clean, but because it is glass, it will not
withstand rough handling or abuse. Never
place a cold wet cloth on a hot porcelain
surface. Porcelain is glass and sudden changes
in temperature may cause cracking. To clean
porcelain surfaces, use warm, soapy water,
glass cleaner or non abrasive cleaner and a
soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
If any acid based food or liquid, such as lemon
juice or tomato juice, is spilled on the
cooktop,wipe it atonce to preventstaining.
Dependingonlevelofacidity,someminor
discolorationmayoccur.
Care and Cleaning
Stainless Steel – Metro Series
DO NOT USE A STEEL WOOL PAD. It will
scratch the surface. Care should be taken
when cleaning any stainless steel surface.
Start with a soapy water solution and damp
cloth, rinse, then dry. Increase the strength of
the cleaning solution, by small increments, if
required. If food byproducts remain, try a
general kitchen cleaner , such as Fantastik,
Simple Green or Formula 409. For hard to
clean soil, use a stainless steel cleaner , such
as Bon-Ami, Cameo, or Bar Keepers Friend.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse
thoroughly, and dry. Always scrub in the
direction of the grain and follow manufactur-
ers cleaning instructions on labels.
