COOKTOP USE
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.
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural
Gas. If you wish to use LR Gas, an LR Gas Conversion Kit is
included with your new range. See the instructions included with
the L.R 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. Ifyou do not hear the
igniter click, TURN THE BURNER OFE 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, Ifthe 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 if 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,
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 saute foods,
• Hold a slow boil,
MED to LO • Cook soups, sauces and gravies,
• Stew or steam foods.
LO • Keep food warm.
• Melt chocolate or butter.

top area may become hot, I

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.

Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. Ifthe burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact atrained repair specialist.
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.

1. Grille Grate 3. Wave Plate 5. Front Spill Guard
2. Wave Tray 4. Burner Assembly 6. Drip Tray
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.
