WARNING
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 range. See "Installation Instructions" for
details on making this conversion.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
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 the clicking sound. If you do not hear the
igniter click, turn the burner off. Check for a tripped circuit
breaker or blown 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.

Cooktop Controls

Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the igniters will become grounded and
occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a
trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see
whether it is wired with the correct polarity.
NOTE: Settings are marked on the control panel.
All of the burner controls provide a range of cooking settings from
HI to LO.
The large standard burner (16,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units])
provides the highest heat setting, and is ideal for cooking large
quantities of food or liquid and using large pots and pans.
The medium burner (10,000 Btu/h) provides the high heat setting,
and is ideal for cooking medium-sized quantities of food or liquid
and using medium-sized pots and pans.
