COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural
gas. If you wish to use LP gas, an LP Gas Conversion Kit is
included with your new cooktop. See the instructions included
with the LP 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 (18,000 and 15,000 Btu/h [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/h) 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
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 off the burner. 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 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 to 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 sauté foods.
■Hold a slow boil.
MED to LO ■Cook soups, sauces and gravies.
■Stew or steam foods.
LO ■Keep food warm.
■Simmer.
REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop
area may become hot.

Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid 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:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach
or rust removers.
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 are
properly aligned with the burner cap.
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 with a nonstick
coating to evenly spread the heat over the bottom of
cookware.
■Channels on the bottom of the Simmer Plate have been
designed so it fits properly and securely over the grate. See
above illustration.
■The Simmer Plate may be used on large and small surface
burners.
■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.
See “Assistance or Service” section to order extra Simmer
Plates.

Grill (on some models)
The grill 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 “Grill Chart” for cook times and
settings.
When using the grill, follow the guidelines below.
■Do not leave the grill 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 avoid curling.
■Allow space between food on the grill. 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 avoid 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 avoid loss of juices.
Before removing or replacing grill, make sure the control knobs
are turned to OFF. Allow the grill to cool completely before
handling.
To Remove:
1. Remove grill 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 grill 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 grill. The tab in the left rear
corner of the bay must fit through the slot in the left rear
corner of the wave tray.
