COOKTOP USE
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.
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set
for use with Natural
gas. If you wish to use LP gas, an LP Gas Conversion
Kit is
included with your new cooktop. See the instructions
included
with the LP Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this
conversion.
Electric igniters automatically
light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
The large burners (10,500 Btu/h) provide the highest heat setting,
and are ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using
large pots and pans. The small burners (3,700 Btu/h and
5,600 Btu/h) allow more accurate simmer control at the lowest
setting, and are ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food, using
smaller pots and pans.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner while using empty cookware or without
any cookware on the grate.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does
not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter
click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or
blown household fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the
valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained
repair specialist.
Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the igniter will become grounded and
occasionally
click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a
qualified electrician to check the wall receptacle to see whether it
is wired with the correct polarity.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise
to LITE.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control
knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following
chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise
to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting. Do not use a grill or griddle accessory during a power
failure, as the vent fan will not operate.
