WARNING

CAUTION

IMPORTANT– Please Read and Follow IMPORTANT– Please Read and Follow

To Pr v nt Fir or Smok Damag

• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before

operating it.

• Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials,

gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.

• If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be

taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

•NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may

ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers

which may cause them to burst.

• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and

may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of

the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic

items on the cooktop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the

vent or a lighted surface burner.

• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may

become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods.

In Cas of Fir

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame.

Extinguish flame, then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.

• Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.

•NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.

•DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher to extinguish fire or flame. Let fat cool before

attempting to handle it.

Child Saf ty

•NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it

is in use or is still hot.

•NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as

they could be injured or burned.

•DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children

climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot.

Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.

Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children

should not be allowed to play with controls of other parts of the

appliance.

Cooking Saf ty

• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet

storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is

provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and

which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance.

Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids,

cleaners or aerosol sprays.

•ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure

you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the

correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When

cooking is completed, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent

exposure to burner flame.

•ALWAYS adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond

the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes

energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the

appliance. This is based on safety considerations.

•NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when

using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boil overs cause

smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon

as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.

• DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of pressure may

cause the container to explode and result in injury.

Cooking Saf ty (cont.)

• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from

steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as

potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite

or get caught on appliance parts.

•ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before

attempting to move or handle.

•DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in

or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to

prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming

foods under the hood, turn the fan off.

•NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or

long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil

handles. DO NOT drape towels or materials on oven door handles.

These items could ignite and cause burns.

•PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions.

If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is

otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and

its container. The food could be contaminated.

• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE

FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.

IMPORTANT– Please Read and Follow IMPORTANT– Please Read and Follow

• Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation

Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed.

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat

and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen

is well-ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or install a

mechanical ventilation device. Prolonged or intensive use of the

appliance may call for additional (such as opening a window) or more

effective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a mechanical

ventilation if present).

Cookwar Saf ty

• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay

cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled

pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles

as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move

when filled with food may also be hazardous.

• Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and avoid

boil overs. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure

pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well

as the bubble action of fat.

Cookwar Saf ty (cont.)

• To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to

unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over

adjacent surface burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or

back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or

reached by small children.

•NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the

appliance.

• Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed cookware

are suitable for cooktop surface without breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when

using glass.

• This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional

cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not

specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for

the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems.

The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended

in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance

problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

• The flame of the burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of

the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of

adjacent counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the cookware.

This is based on safety considerations.

Product Controls

Lighting Burn rs

All burners are ignited by electric ignition.

There are no open-flame, “standing” pilots.

Surfac Burn rs-Automatic R ignition

To light the surface burners, push and turn the

appropriate control knob counterclockwise to

any position. This control is both a gas valve

and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “ON” position with the

automatic re-ignition system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the

burners will automatically reignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is

permitted to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On all

surface igniters you should hear a “clicking” sound. If you do not, turn off

the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse or circuit

breaker is not blown or tripped.

R ar and Front Burn rs

Push in and turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the desired setting.

The control knobs can be turned to any desired setting as the knobs do

not have fixed positions between “hi” and “simmer”.

Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to

light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any position to

adjust the flame size. Setting the proper flame height for the desired

cooking process and selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in

superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.

Note: The igniters may click a number of times before the burner ignites.

This is normal. All igniters will spark regardless of which burner is being

operated.

Surface Operation

Surface Operation

Surfac Cooking Tips

• The simmer line on the control panel is the minimum variable setting

and produces a low flame for simmering delicate items.

• Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in cookware that are

poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast iron. Reduce

the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the cookware

diameter. This will ensure more even heating within the cookware and

reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.

• Reduce the flame if it is extended beyond the bottom of the cookware.

A flame that extends along the sides of the cookware is potentially

dangerous, heats the cookware handle and kitchen instead of the food,

and wastes energy.

• Reduce the flame height to the minimum level necessary to perform the

desired cooking process. Remember that food cooks just as quickly at a

gentle boil as it does at a rolling boil. Maintaining a higher boil than is

necessary causes a loss in food flavor and nutrients.

• Use pans that are 9" or less in diameter on the FRONT burners. Using

pans larger than 9" could cause damage to the cooktop.

• For pans larger than 9" in diameter, use the right rear burner. This

burner is designed to bring pans to a boil quickly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained

properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your

cooktop must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning,

make sure all controls are in the “off” position.

Surfac Burn rs

*Note: When replacing burner head, carefully align the tab underneath the

cap with the slot in the burner base.

Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before they

get a chance to burn in and cook solid. In the event of a spill-over, follow

these steps:

• Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe temperature level.

• Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm soapy water.

• Remove the burner cap and burner head and clean.

Burn r Caps

The surface burner caps should be routinely removed and cleaned.

ALWAYS clean the burner caps after a spill-over. Keeping the burner caps

clean will prevent improper ignition and uneven flames. To clean, pull

burner cap straight up from the burner base. Wipe off surface burner caps

with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after each use. Use a non-abrasive

cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad for

cooked-on foods. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For best cleaning and to

avoid possible rusting, DO NOT clean in dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.
