Using the surface burners
Using and Caring for Your
Cooktop
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners. The
sealed burners spread the heat evenly
across the bottom of the cookware and
provide infinite heat control.
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.
conversion kit for details on making this
conversion.
•Position grate legs into the leg locators
on front and back of cooktop.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop
wWARNING
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.
Using the surface burners:
Control knobs
1. Grasp the control knob.
2. Push in and turn to LITE. The electric
spark ignitor will ignite the gas flowing into
the burner. When you hear a clicking
sound, you know that the ignitors are
working. Gas is flowing as long as knob is
not set at OFF.
3. When the burner is lit, turn the control
knob to the desired flame setting. (See the
guide under “Burner heat settings” later in
this section.) You can turn the knobs to
any of the marked settings. The ignitor will
turn off and the clicking will stop when the
knob is moved from LITE.
NOTES:
•The ignitors may click a number of times
before burner lights. This is normal.
•All four burner ignitors will spark
regardless of which burner you are using.
•Visually check that the burner has lit. If the
burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking
sound. If you do not hear the ignitor click,
TURN THE BURNER OFF. Check for a
tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed
completely down on valve shaft. If the spark
ignitor still fails to operate, call your
nearest designated service outlet.
Proper grounding and polarity are
necessary for correct operation of the electric
ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the ignitor will
become grounded and click every once in
a while, even after the burner has ignited.
A qualified electrician should check the wall
receptacle to see if it is wired with correct
polarity.
Burner heat settings
Use correct burner heat settings (see chart
later in this section). If the heat setting is too
high, it will affect cooking results.
Until you get used to the settings, use the
following as a guide.
RECOMMENDED USE
•To light the burner.
•To start food cooking.
•To bring liquid to a boil.
•To hold a rapid boil.
•To quickly brown or sear
meat.
•To maintain a slow boil.
•To fry poultry or meat.
•To cook pudding, sauce
or gravy.
•To stew or steam food.
•To simmer food.
•To keep food warm.
•To melt chocolate or butter.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop
In case of a prolonged power
failure
Surface burners can be manually lighted.
1. Hold a lit striker near a burner and turn
the control knob to the HI position.
2. After the burner lights, turn the control
knob to the desired setting.
NOTE: Do not leave a burner on without any
cookware on the grate. The grate finish can
be damaged.
Simmer Plate†
One Simmer Plate has been provided with
your cooktop. It
has been
designed to be
used with burner
settings in the
medium to low
range on your
cooktop when
lower tempera-
tures are required
for simmering or for maintaining food at a low
temperature over an extended period of time.
The Simmer Plate is made of aluminum to
evenly spread the heat over the bottom of
cookware.
Channels on the bottom of the Simmer Plate
(see diagram at
left) have been
designed so it fits
properly and
securely over the
grate.
† To order additional Simmer Plates (Part No.
4455109), call 1-800-422-1230 (in U.S.A.) or
1-800-461-5681 (in Canada). You will hear a
recording. Follow the steps to place order.

Using and Caring for Your Cooktop
Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can cause
damage to the cooktop.
The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan
material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the
best cooking results.
Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.
• Use for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
Ceramic or
ceramic glass • Heats slowly and unevenly.
• Use on low to medium settings.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel
or enamel-on-cast iron • See cast iron and stainless steel.
Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.
• A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware
provides even heating.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
Characteristics of cookware materials
To protect your range:
•Center the canner over the surface burner.
Do not extend more than 1 inch (2.5 cm)
outside the burner area.
•Do not place your canner on two surface
burners at the same time.
•Start with hot water, cover with a lid and
bring to a boil; then reduce heat to main-
tain a boil or required pressure levels in a
pressure canner.
• Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
• For up-to-date information on canning,
contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office or
companies who manufacture home canning
products. In Canada, contact Agriculture
Canada.
Using the right cookware makes a
big difference
•The pan should have a flat bottom, straight
sides, and a well-fitting lid.
•Choose medium to heavy gauge
(thickness) cookware.
•The pan material (metal or glass) affects
how quickly and evenly the pan heats.
•When using glass or ceramic cookware,
check to make sure it is suitable for use on
surface burners.
