COOKTOP FEATURES
BURNERS
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.
BTU/Hr BURNER APPEARANCE FEATURES
Ultra-
Power™
dual-flame
burner
This burner has an upper
and lower level of flame.
The Power HI setting
uses both flame levels at
full power to provide the
highest heat. It is ideal for
cooking large quantities
of food or liquid and using
large pots and pans.
The Simmer HI and LO
settings use the upper
flame only.
Medium
burner This burner is ideal for cooking smaller quantities
of food and melting
chocolate or butter.
Simmer
burner This burner reaches a low of 500 BTU/Hr. It
provides the gentle, low
temperatures required
for simmering soups,
stewing, and melting
delicate ingredients
like butter, cheese,
and chocolate.
Igniting Burners:
■Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners
when control knobs are turned to LITE.
■Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on
the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware
or without any cookware on the grate.
■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.
■When the control knobs for any small or medium burner are
turned to the LITE position, all small and medium burners will
click. When the control knob for the large burner is turned
to the LITE position, these burners will click independently
of the other burners. In both cases, only the burner with the
control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
Reignition Feature
During cooktop use, if one or more burners are extinguished
due to external causes (such as a water spill, wind, or ventilation
draft), the ignition system will turn on to reignite the flame.
When the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking.
If the draft in the room is not removed, occasional sparking may
continue. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the
low setting on a burner.
To Set a Burner:
Push in one more time to get from LO to HI.
In Case of Power Failure
Hold a lit match near a
burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to
HI. After burner lights,
turn knob to the desired
setting.
1.
Push in and turn
counterclockwise to LITE.
2.
Turn knob counterclockwise
between HI and LO.
REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use or during the Self-
Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

COOKTOP FEATURES

Sealed Surface Burners
Sealed surface burners are designed to minimize gaps and
seams that can allow liquids and spills to get under the cooktop.
This design makes cleanup quick and easy.
Stacked Power Burner
Medium Burner
Simmer/Melt Burner
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 “Care
and Cleaning” section.
Gas opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas 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 opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas opening 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.

GRILL (ON SOME MODELS)
The grill module consists of a cast-iron grill grate, a wave tray,
a flame spreader, a burner assembly, 2 grease trays and a
drip tray.
When using the grill, follow the guidelines below:
■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.
■Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
■To avoid damage to the grill, do not use aluminum foil,
charcoal, or wood chips.
■To avoid damage to cookware, do not place cookware on
the grill when in use. Food should be cooked directly on
the grill grate.

CHROME ELECTRIC GRIDDLE
(ON SOME MODELS)
The chrome electric griddle provides the perfect cooking
surface for grilled sandwiches, pancakes, eggs, burgers,
sautéed vegetables, and many more family favorites. The
attractive low-stick surface is designed to make cleanup easy.
The chrome electric griddle system provides an evenly heated
cooking surface.
■Be sure plastic film has been removed and wash with hot
water before first use.
■To avoid scratching the griddle, do not place any pots
or pans on the griddle. Use only heat-resistant plastic
or wooden utensils.
■The griddle surface is ready to use and does not need
to be seasoned.
■Pouring cold water on a hot griddle may warp the griddle,
resulting in an uneven cooking surface.

COOKWARE
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a
well-fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum
and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware.
However, when used as a base, they can leave permanent
marks on the cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat
is transferred which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish
has the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under
the broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminum ■Heats quickly and evenly.
■Suitable for all types of cooking
■Medium or heavy thickness is best
for most cooking tasks.
Cast iron ■Heats slowly and evenly.
■Good for browning and frying
■Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or
ceramic glass ■Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■Heats slowly, but unevenly.
■Ideal results on low-to-medium heat
settings
Copper ■Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware ■Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■Use on low heat settings.
Porcelain
enamel-on-steel
or cast iron
■See stainless steel or cast iron.
Stainless steel ■Heats quickly, but unevenly.
■A core or base of aluminum or
copper on stainless steel provides
even heating.
HOME CANNING
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
■Center the canner on the grate.
■Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
■For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.
