Cooking with the gas cooktop
WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small
amounts of carbon monoxide, benzene, formalde-
hyde and soot. To minimize exposure to these sub-
stances, the burners should be adjusted by a
certified installer or authorized servicer to ensure
proper combustion. Ensure proper ventilation with an
open window or use a ventilation fan or hood when
cooking with gas. Always operate the unit according
to the instructions in this manual.
Preliminary information
• Remove all packaging materials and literature
from the cooktop surface.
• Wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.
• There may be a slight odor during the first few
uses. This is normal and will disappear.
• Optimum cooking results depend on the proper
cookware being selected and used.
• The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the
burners. There is no pilot light. Each burner has its
own igniter. All igniters are activated when a
control knob is pushed.
• You can light and adjust the flame size of each
burner by pressing and then turning the relative
cooktop knobs.
• Read all the safety precautions and Use and
Care Manual information before using the appli-
ance.
CAUTION
• Do not force the knobs to turn if you have not
pressed them before.
• To avoid possible injury or damage to the
appliance, ensure that the grates are installed
exactly as indicated in the installation instruc-
tions and not backwards or upside down.

burners and they must to be positioned in their correct
housings:

left and front right zones.

other zones.
Installing the burners
WARNING
• To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of
harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop
without all the burner caps properly installed to
insure proper ignition and the correct flame
size.
• It is very important to be sure that all surface
burner caps and cooktop grates are properly
installed and in the correct positions BEFORE
using the cooktop burners.
