IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GAS COOKTOP CAUTION Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency. Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning it on.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS 9 Gas surface burner types Assembly of the Burner Caps The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in large amounts increases as the burner size increases. Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations. • Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Using Proper Cookware Cookware Material Types The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 2: Testing cookware” and “Figure 3: Proper cookware”. The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS 11 Install Burner Grates To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess.. The grates have tabs that interlock, so it is important to place the center grate first. Figure 5: Install grates middle-first IMPORTANT • Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop before using the surface burners (Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Locations of the Gas Surface Burners 1. The SIMMER burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. 2. The STANDARD sized burners are used for most surface cooking needs. 3. The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. 2 Setting a surface burner: 1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner grate. 2.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS CAUTION Do not place flammable items such as plastic wrappings, spoon holders, or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface burners. NOTES • When setting a surface control knob to the lite position, all of the electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Using a Griddle (not included) Home Canning Use non-stick cooking spray or oil as needed. Slowly preheating the griddle ensures even heat distribution for best cooking results. Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
