IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Read all instructions before using this appliance.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE  
Using Your Cooktop  
• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic  
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of  
California to publish a list of substances known to  
the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other  
reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn  
customers of potential exposure to such substances.  
• Do not leave children alone or unattended  
where a cooktop is hot or in operation. They  
could be seriously burned.  
• CAUTION: Items of interest to children  
should not be stored in cabinets above a  
cooktop— children climbing on the cooktop  
to reach items could be seriously injured.  
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure  
to four of these substances, namely benzene,  
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused  
primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural  
gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners,  
indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame,  
will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure  
to these substances can be minimized further by  
venting with an open window or using a  
• Do not operate or clean your cooktop if the  
glass is broken or cracked. Cleaning solutions  
and spillovers could penetrate the broken cooktop  
and create a risk of electric shock. Call for service  
immediately if the cooktop glass breaks or cracks.  
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet  
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a  
hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.  
ventilation fan or hood.  
• Do not clean the cooktop with flammable or  
volatile cleaning fluids.  
When You Get Your Cooktop  
When you get your cooktop, have the installer  
show you the location of the gas cut-off valve  
and how to shut it off if necessary.  
• Do not clean the cooktop when the appliance  
is in use.  
• Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp  
instruments, or with rings and other jewelry.  
• Have your cooktop installed and properly  
grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance  
with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment  
and service should be performed only by qualified  
gas range installers or service technicians.  
• Never use the cooktop as a cutting board.  
• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool  
before touching them or leaving them where  
children can reach them.  
• Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded  
outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding  
prong from the plug. If in doubt about the  
grounding of the home electrical system, it is your  
personal responsibility and obligation to have an  
ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly-  
grounded 3-prong outlet in accordance with the  
National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension  
cord with this appliance.  
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments  
while using the appliance. Be careful when  
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the  
cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if  
brought in contact with flame or hot surfaces and  
may cause severe burns.  
• For your safety, never use your appliance for  
warming or heating the room.  
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from  
the cooktop before operating it, to prevent fire or  
smoke damage should the packing material ignite.  
• Do not use water on grease fires.  
Never pick up a flaming pan.  
Turn the controls off. Smother a  
• Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a  
qualified service technician or installer for the  
type of gas (natural or LP) which is to be used.

type of gas. See the Installation Instructions.  
flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the  
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie  
sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry  
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.  
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out  
by covering it with baking soda or, if available,  
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-  
type fire extinguisher.  
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of  
your cooktop unless it is specifically  
recommended in this guide. All other servicing  
should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Do not store flammable materials near the  
cooktop. Do not store or use gasoline or other  
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of  
this or any other appliance.  
• Use proper pan size—Avoid pans that are  
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware  
having flat bottoms large enough to properly  
contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers,  
and large enough to cover burner grate. This will  
both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous  
accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or  
spillovers left on cooktop can ignite. Use pans  
with handles that can be easily grasped and  
remain cool.  
• Do not let cooking grease or other  
flammable materials accumulate  
on or near the cooktop.  
• Never leave the surface burners unattended  
at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking  
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.  
• Do not place hot cookware on the glass  
cooktop. This could cause glass to break.  
• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does  
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.  
Excessive flame is hazardous.  
• Keep all plastics away from burners.  
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be  
certain that the controls for all burners are at  
the off position and all grates are cool before  
attempting to remove a grate.  
• Use only dry pot holders—  
moist or damp pot holders  
on hot surfaces may result  
in burns from steam.  
• If the cooktop is located near a window,  
do not hang long curtains which could blow  
over the burners and create a fire hazard.  
• Do not let pot holders come near open flames  
when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or  
other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.  
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop  
and call a qualified service technician. Never use  
an open flame to locate a leak.  
To minimize the possibility of burns,  
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,  
turn cookware handles toward the side or  
center of the cooktop without extending over  
adjacent burner.  
• Do not cover or block the area around the  
cooktop knobs. This area must be kept clear for  
proper ventilation and burner performance.  
• Always turn the surface burners to off before  
removing the cookware.  
• When cooking pork, follow the directions  
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal  
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in  
the remote possibility that trichina may be present  
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be  
safe to eat.  
Carefully watch foods being fried at high  
flame setting.  
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.  
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods  
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides  
of the pan.  
• Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if  
the wok has a round metal ring which is placed  
over the burner grate to support the wok. This  
ring acts as a heat trap which may damage the  
burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause  
the burner to work improperly. This may cause a  
carbon monoxide level above that allowed by  
current standards, resulting in a health hazard.  
• Use least possible amount of fat for effective  
shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too  
full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.  
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used  
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats  
melt slowly.  
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the  
smoking point.

inconvenience of having to manually relight a burner.  
As with electric ignition, all of the burner igniters  
spark while a burner is relighting. Do not touch any  
of the burners when the igniters are clicking.  
All the igniters make clicking sounds and spark  
even when only a single burner is being turned on.  
Do not touch any of the burners when the igniters

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE  
TO YOUR OLD ONE?  
Your new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used  
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and  
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or  
surface unit you have.  
to cooking with induction or other electric surface  
units, you will notice some differences when you use  
gas burners.  
The following chart will help you to understand the  
differences between gas burner cooktops and any  
other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.  
Type of Cooktop  
Gas Burners  
Description  
How it Works  
Regular or sealed  
gas burners use  
either LP gas  
Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but  
pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change  
heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.  
or natural gas.  
Radiant  
(Glass Ceramic)  
Cooktop  
Electric coils  
under a glass-  
ceramic cooktop.  
Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on  
the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to  
continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if  
you want cooking to stop.  
Induction  
High frequency  
induction coils  
under a glass  
surface.  
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is  
produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away  
and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control  
off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.  
Electric Coil  
Flattened metal  
tubing containing  
electric resistance  
wire suspended  
over a drip pan.  
Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best  
cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of  
warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change  
heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to  
continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.  
Solid Disk  
Solid cast iron  
disk sealed to the  
cooktop surface.  
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good  
cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The  
disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan  
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.  
USING YOUR COOKTOP  
Electric Ignition  
Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition,  
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with  
constantly burning flames.  
In case of a power outage, you can light the surface  
burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lighted  
match to the burner, then turn the knob to the HIGH  
position. Use extreme caution when lighting  
burners this way.  
Surface burners in use when an electrical power  
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

How to Select Flame Size  
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.  
The flame size on a gas burner should match the  
cookware you are using.  
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER  
LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF  
THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom  
of the cookware is wasted heat and only serves to  
heat the handle.  
Cookware  
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is  
recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.  
Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet.  
Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids for cooking with  
minimum amounts of water.  
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 gas cooktops.  
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give  
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating  
properties, and is usually combined with copper,  
aluminum or other metals for improved heat  
distribution. Combination metal skillets generally  
work satisfactorily if they are used at medium heat  
as the manufacturer recommends.  
satisfactory results.  
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of  
some cookware may melt. Follow cookware  
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking  
methods.  
Glass: There are 2 types of glass cookware—those  
for oven use only and those for surface cooking  
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat  
very slowly.

Wok Cooking  
We recommend that  
you use only a flat-  
bottomed wok. They are  
available at your local  
retail store.  
Do not use woks that  
have support rings. Use of  
these types of woks, with or  
without the ring in place, can  
be dangerous. Placing the  
ring over the burner grate  
may cause the burner to work improperly resulting  
in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current  
standards. This could be dangerous to your health.  
Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You  
could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.  
Stove Top Grills  
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove  
top grill on the sealed gas burner it will cause incomplete combustion and  
can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current  
standards. This can be hazardous to your health.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooktop  
will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow  
these directions carefully in caring for it.  
Before cleaning any part of your cooktop, be sure all  
burners are off and DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL  
POWER TO THE COOKTOP at the fuse box or  
circuit breaker panel, or pull the cooktop power plug,  
located beneath the cooktop and inside the cabinets.  
Glass Cooktop  
To keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any  
spills as they occur. This will keep them from burning  
on and becoming more difficult to remove.  
CAUTION: DO NOT COOK ON OR CLEAN A  
BROKEN OR CRACKED COOKTOP. Cleaning  
solutions and spillovers penetrating the cooktop can  
create a risk of electric shock. Call for a service  
technician immediately.  
As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass surface  
with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy water; rinse  
with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can  
use any liquid household detergent. Do not use  
abrasive materials such as metal pads, cleansing  
powder and scouring pads—they may scratch the  
surface. Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach or  
chemical oven cleaners.  
Control Knobs  
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.  
To remove knob, pull it straight up.  
Wash knobs in soap and water but do not soak.  
Avoid getting water down into the knob stem holes.

CARE AND CLEANING  
(continued)  
Burner Assembly  
The burner assemblies should be wiped clean often.  
Turn all controls OFF before removing burner parts.  
Burner  
Grate  
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed  
when the top of the burner is removed. Be careful  
not to push in any surface unit controls while  
the top of a burner is removed. A slight electrical  
shock might result which could cause you to knock  
over hot cookware.  
Burner Cap  
Slot  
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER  
WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.  
The burner grates and caps can be lifted off, making  
them easy to clean. Removing them gives you access  
to the burner base and burner bowl. Wash the grate  
and cap in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean  
water. Dry them with a cloth—don’t reassemble them  
wet. When replacing these parts, be sure they fit  
securely into position over the burners.  
Burner  
Base  
Burner Bowl  
Burner Grates  
Cast-iron burner grates should be washed regularly  
and of course, after spillovers.  
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean  
water. Dry the grates with a cloth—don’t put them  
back on the cooktop wet. When replacing the grates,  
be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.  
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in  
a covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup  
ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes. Wash,  
rinse well, and dry.  
To prevent rusting, apply a light coating of cooking  
oil on the bottom of the grates.  
Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually  
lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can  
give them. This is due to their continual exposure to  
high temperatures.  
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of  
time without cookware on the grate. The finish on  
the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
