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. Models with the TripleTier® Flame Burner will include a TripleTier® Burner LP Gas Conversion Kit and a kit for standard ranges. See “Installation Instructions” for details on making this conversion.

NOTE: Settings are marked on the control knob.

The TripleTier® Flame Burner (15,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units]) can provide the highest heat setting and 3 levels of simmer control. It is ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid and using large pots and pans.

High Power Settings

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.

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.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
