important Safety instructions
Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size * Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward from Edges
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The of Cooktop and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface
use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve efficiency.
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed
gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a 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.
Use proper pan slze--This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface burners of difl:erent
sizes. Select utensils having flat bottom large enough to
cover the surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the surface burner to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface burner will also improve efficiency.
* Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free
of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food
under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
Burners--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should
be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface burners.
* Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat
Sefflngs--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
*Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans. Protective liners or aluminum foil may
interfere with heat and air distribution, and combustion.
Damage to the cooktop or personal injury may result.
* Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
*Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see
that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are
touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or
burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air
will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion
problems.

Surface Cookware Recommendations
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should hove flat bottoms that make good contact
with the cooktop grate. 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 wiil influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow
manufacturer's instructions. Some utensils were not made to
be used in the oven or on the cooktop.
Cookware Material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface unit to the pan bottom.
The most popular materials available are:
ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
wiil cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting).
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven
cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics
wili vary depending on base material.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor.
CORRECT
*Flat bottom and straight
sides.
*Tight fitting lids.
°Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is weJJ
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 bot-
toms.
*Pan overhangs unit by more
than 2.5 cm (1").
*Heavy handle tilts pan.
*Flame extends beyond unit.

Setting Surface Burner Controls
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 aii burner caps
property installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size.
It is very important to be sure that aii surface burner caps
and burner grates are property 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
aflow 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 for
correct and incorrect burner cap placement. Once in place,
you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap
from side to side (Fig. 4) to be sure it is centered and firmly
seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the
center of the burner head you will be able to feel it. Please
note that the burner cap should NOT move off the center of
the burner head when sliding from side to side.

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.
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil;
pan broiling.
Medium Flame Maintain a stow boil; thicken sauces,
gravies; steaming.
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
_These settings are based on using medlum=welght metal
or aluminum pans wlfh llds. 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 welt-lighted room. Each cone of flame
should be steady and sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow-
orange.
Regardless of size, always select cool<ware 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 5).
Proper
flame
size
Figure 5
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 cool< properly.
_Do not place such as
items a_um_num
foil, salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plasflc
wrappings on fop 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 dose 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
alit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface
control knob to LITE. After burner lights push in and turn
knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.

Setting Surface Burner Controls
Setting the Burners
1. Place cooking utensil on
surface burner.
2. Push the surface control
knob down and turn
counterclockwise out of
the OFF position (See
Figures l&2).
3. Release the knob and
rotate to the LITE
position.
4. Visually check that the
burner has a flame.
5. Once the burner is
lit, continue to turn Figure 1
counterclockwise to the
desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be
set at a particular setting. Use the knob indicator settings
to adjust the flame as needed.
|JsJncj cl 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.
Figure 2 - Typical Control Knob
Important notes:
•DO NOT cool< with the surface control knob left in the
LITEposition. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark
if the control knob setting remains in the LITEposition).
° When setting any surface control knob to the LITE
position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the
same time. However, only the surface burner you are
setting will ignite.
° NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
can cause uneven heating results.
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metal ring that extends beyond
the burner unit. Because this ring traps
heat, the surface unit and cooktop
surface could be damaged.
