IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read all instructions before using this appliance. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE • The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
• Do not store flammable materials near the cooktop. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. • Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on or near the cooktop. • Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE TO YOUR OLD ONE? Your new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used to cooking with induction or other electric surface units, you will notice some differences when you use gas burners. The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surface unit you have. The following chart will help you to understand the differences between gas burner cooktops and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.
USING YOUR COOKTOP (continued) To Light a Burner Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the desired position from HIGH to LO. After the burner ignites, turn the knob in either direction to adjust the flame size. OFF HIGH LIGHT LO To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise, as far as it will go, to the OFF position. • The center and 2 rear burners are best for smaller pans and cooking operations requiring carefully controlled simmering conditions.
Wok Cooking Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over. We recommend that you use only a flatbottomed wok.
CARE AND CLEANING (continued) Burner Assembly The burner assemblies should be wiped clean often. Turn all controls OFF before removing burner parts. The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the top of the burner is removed. Be careful not to push in any surface unit controls while the top of a burner is removed. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE.
