cooking.
Cookware
Requirements
• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Tight-tting lid
• Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or
pan.
Material characteristics
• Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the
aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and
pitting.
• Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is
durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
• Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specied for
cooktop cooking or oven use.
• Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It
conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's
directions to be sure it can be used on a gas cooktop.

Using the cooktop burners
Install the grates
NOTE
Install the grates as instructed below for longest life. When installed properly, the
openings in the grates are centered over the burners.
The three cooktop grates are designed to t in specic positions on the cooktop.
For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper positions.
• Place the left and right grates so that the thicker side of the right grate lines up
with the right side of the cooktop and the thicker side of the left grate lines up
with the left side of the cooktop.
• The center grate must be installed with the lled-in section, marked with the
word 'BACK', towards the back of the cooktop.
The center grate has two overhangs to help you locate the side grates correctly.
The overhangs will snag the side grates if you install the side grates in the wrong
direction or on the wrong side. See the illustration below.
To replace the grates correctly, follow these steps:
1. Orient the center grate as noted in the directions on the left.
2. Gently lower the legs of the center grate so that the legs rest in the center grate
dimples on the cooktop.
3. Orient the left and right grates so that the thicker side the right grate lines up
with the right side of the cooktop and the thicker side of the left grate lines up
with the left side of the cooktop.
4. Gently lower the legs of the right gate into the corresponding dimples on the
cooktop. Repeat with the left grate. When installed correctly, neither gate will
make contact with the overhangs on the center grate.

• Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleaner, which can scratch or damage the
surface.
• Do not remove the cooktop surface to clean it. The gas lines leading to the burner
manifolds can be damaged, resulting in a re or system failure.
• Do not pour water into the cooktop well while cleaning the cooktop. This could
leak down into the cooktop gas and electrical systems creating a risk of electrical
shock or high levels of Carbon Monoxide due to corrosion of the gas valves or
ports.
• Do not spray any type of cleanser into the manifold holes. The ignition system is
located in those holes and must be kept free of moisture.
• Do not clean the cooktop or stainless steel parts with:
- Caustic lye (sodium hydroxide) or cleaners containing this chemical
- Hard or steel wool pads
- Abrasive materials or chemicals.
