Operating the Cooktop

Lighting A Burner

WARNING

To avoid the chance of fire, explosion or carbon •

monoxide poisoning, do not attempt to use your

cooktop without the burners completely and

properly assembled (see page 7). The burner rings

spread the flame evenly around the burner caps.

The burner rings must be properly seated for proper

burner lighting and operation.

In the interest of safety, always light the burner •

before putting the cooking utensil on the grate.

Turn the burner knob to the OFF position before

removing the utensil. Always check the position of

the control knobs to make sure the cooktop is off

when you are finished cooking.

Do not turn the knob farther than the • HIGH

position until lit. Doing so may result in a burst

of flame that could cause burns or damage to the

surrounding area.

Do not touch any part of the burner while the •

igniter is sparking. An electrical shock could result.

Never light the burners with a match or other open •

flame.

Always check to make sure all control knobs are in •

the OFF position when you are finished cooking.

If the gas does not ignite after four seconds •

or if the flame goes out and gas escapes when

attempting to light a burner, turn the knob to the

OFF position. Open a window and allow at least five

minutes for the gas to dissipate. Then, repeat the

lighting procedure.

Each burner control knob has a small diagram

next to it with an indicator light that tells you

which burner it operates.

To light a burner, push in gently on the knob and turn 1.

it counter-clockwise to the HIGH position. The igniter

will spark (click) repeatedly until the gas ignites. The

burner should light within four seconds.

Once the burner is lit, set the flame height to the 2.

desired level by rotating the control knob further

counterclockwise, then place the utensil on the grate.

Selecting the Cookware

WARNING

To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan •

handles to a position where they cannot be easily

hit. Also, handles should not extend over adjacent

burners.

Always set utensils gently onto the grates and •

center them so that they are well-balanced.

Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding •

may damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition

them. Do not drop them on the grate.

Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent •

damage to the coated surfaces on the grates.

To avoid burns or a fire hazard, reduce the flame •

level if it extends beyond the bottom of the utensil.

Flames extending up the sides are potentially

dangerous.

For overall safety and best cooktop performance, select

the correct cooking utensil for the food being cooked.

Improperly selected cooking utensils will not cook evenly

or efficiently.

Use cookware that:

Has flat, smooth bottoms.•

Is well balanced.•

Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and steam in.•

IMPORTANT

Avoid spills as much as possible. The porcelain

surfaces of the grates, spill trays and burner caps are

acid-resistant but not acid-proof. Some foods can cause

permanent damage if allowed to remain on porcelain

surfaces.
