evenly across the bottom of the cookware and pro-
vide infinite heat control.
Using the surface burners
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 provided with the unit.
The conversion must be done by a qualified ser-
vice technician.

Using the surface burners (cont.)
Using the control knobs
Your cooktop comes with electric ignitors. Electric
ignitors automatically
light the burners each
time you turn the con-
trol knobs to LITE.
•Place a filled pan on
the burner grate before
turning on the surface
burner. Do not operate
a burner for extended
periods of time without
having cookware on
the grate.
• Push in the control knob and turn it counter-
clockwise to the LITE position. The clicking
sound is the ignitor sparking. Make sure the
burner has lit.
• To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights,
turn the control knob to the cook setting you
want. You can set the control knob
anywhere between HI and LO.
NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same
time. However, the burner with the control knob
turned to LITE is the one that will ignite.
Using Your Cooktop
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The
cookware could overheat causing damage to the
cookware or cooking product.
Burner heat settings
Use the following chart as a guide.
Energy saving tips
•To help shorten your cooking time, use the least
amount of liquid possible.
•Preheat your pans only when recommended and
for the shortest time possible.
•Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn
the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

In case of a prolonged power
failure
You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit
match near a burner and turn the control knob to
the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the
control knob to the setting you want.
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.
To protect your cooktop:
•Center the canner over the surface burner. Do
not extend more than 1 inch 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 maintain 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.
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.
•To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are
centered on the grates.
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.
• Mediumor 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.

Cast-iron
burner cap
Cleaning the surface burners
•You should routinely remove and clean the burner
caps. Always clean the burner caps after a
spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean prevents
improper ignition and an uneven flame.
•For the proper flow of gas and ignition of the
burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEAN-
ING AGENTS, OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO
ENTER THE GAS TUBE OPENING.
•Gas must flow freely through the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. You must
keep this area free of any soil and protect it from
boilovers or spillovers. ALWAYS keep the burner
cap in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
•Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.
•Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust
removers.
•Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
•If the knobs are removed while cleaning, be care-
ful not to spill liquids through the holes in the con-
trol area.
•Be careful not to allow moisture to collect in the
control area. Moisture can cause the ignitor
switches to fail.
•Occasionally check the burner flames for proper
size and shape as
shown. A good flame
is blue in color. If the
flames are uneven, you
may need to clean the
burners.

To clean the burners:
1. Pull the burner caps straight up from the
burner base.
2. Clean the burner caps with warm, soapy water
and a sponge. You can also clean the caps with
a mildly abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and pow-
dered cleanser. Do not clean the burner caps in
a dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.
3. If the gas tube opening has become soiled or
clogged, use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to
clean the area.
4. If the ports are clogged, clean them with a
straight pin. Do not
enlarge or distort
the port. Do not
use a wooden
toothpick.
If the burner needs
to be adjusted, call a
qualified technician
for service.
6. Turn on the burner to see if it will light. If the
burner does not light after you have cleaned it,
contact an authorized service technician. Do not
service the sealed burner yourself.
5. After cleaning the gas tube opening and ports,
replace the burner
caps. To replace the
burner caps, make
sure the alignment
pins on the burner
base are properly
aligned with the cap.
