COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory set for use with Natural
Gas. If you wish to use L.P. Gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit is
included with your new range. See the instructions included with
the L.P. Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this conversion.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
The large burners (15,000 BTU [British Thermal Units]) provide
the highest heat setting, and are ideal for cooking large quantities
of food or liquid, using large pots and pans. The small burners
(6,000 BTU) allow more accurate simmer control at the lowest
setting, and are ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food, using
smaller pots and pans.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner while using empty cookware or without
any cookware on the grate.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does
not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the
igniter click, TURN THE BURNER OFF. Check for a tripped circuit
breaker or blown fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the
valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained
repair specialist.
Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the igniter will become grounded and
occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a
trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see
whether it is wired with the correct polarity.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control
knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following
chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the
edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
LITE ■Light the burner.
HI ■Start food cooking.
■Bring liquid to a boil.
MED to HI ■Hold a rapid boil.
■Quickly brown or sear food.
MED ■Fry or sautéfoods.
■Hold a slow boil.
MED to LO ■Cook soups, sauces and gravies.
■Stew or steam foods.
LO ■Keep food warm.
■Melt chocolate or butter.
■Simmer.
REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cook-
top area may become hot.

Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and
cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust
removers.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
“General Cleaning”section.
Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from spillovers
by always using a burner cap.
Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean:
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to “General Cleaning”section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist.
4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins on
the cap are properly aligned with the burner base.
5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
Simmer Plate
The Simmer Plate is made of aluminum to evenly spread the heat
over the bottom of cookware. It can be used on the large surface
burners.
Do not use the Simmer Plate above the medium setting. For best
results, use the Simmer Plate with burner settings in the medium
to low range on the cooktop when lower temperatures are
needed for simmering, or for maintaining food at a low
temperature over an extended period of time.
Channels on the bottom of the Simmer Plate have been designed
so it fits properly and securely over the grate.
See “Assistance or Service”section to order extra Simmer
Plates.

GRILLE
The grille module consists of a cast-iron grate, a wave tray, a
wave plate, a burner assembly, a front spill guard and a drip tray.
It is used to grill foods. Refer to the “Grille Chart”for cook times
and settings.
When using the grille, follow the guidelines below.
■Do not leave the grille unattended while cooking.
■Do not use aluminum foil, charcoal or wood chips.
■Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to prevent curling.
■Allow space between food on the grille. Crowding food will
result in uneven cooking.
■Use a metal spatula or tongs to turn food.
■Steaks, chops and hamburgers should be turned only once
to prevent loss of juices.
■For even cooking, foods such as chicken quarters should be
turned several times.
■To check for doneness of meats and poultry, use an instant
read thermometer or make a small cut in the center of the
food. This will prevent loss of juices.
Before removing or replacing grille, make sure the control knobs
are turned to OFF. Allow the grille to cool completely before
handling.
To Remove:
1. Remove grille grate.
2. Remove wave tray and wave plate.
3. Remove burner assembly.
4. Remove front spill guard.
5. Remove drip tray.
6. Clean basin. See “General Cleaning”section.

To Replace:
1. Lift burner assembly out of basin and set aside.
2. Place drip tray on bottom of grille basin and slide the tray
forward so that it is located side to side and against the
locating feet of the rear spill guard.
3. Insert the front spill guard feet into the slots in the rear spill
guard. The rear flange will rest on the burner box.
4. Place burner assembly over spill guard, making sure burner’s
rear flange is seated in slot.
5. Install the wave tray into the grille. The tab in the left rear
corner of the bay must fit through the slot in the left rear
corner of the wave tray.
6. Place the wave plate on the wave tray. The wave plate must
be centered on the wave tray.
7. Replace grille grate.
To Use:
1. Turn on overhead range hood.
2. If desired, apply a light coating of vegetable oil or nonstick
cooking spray to grille grate.
3. Push in and turn knob to LITE/HI. The flame will ignite in 30 to
40 seconds. Allow grille to preheat for 10 minutes.
4. Turn knob to desired cook setting. Place food on grille.
