Using and Caring for Your

Cooktop

This section tells you how to operate the controls to the cooktop. It also discusses how the sealed gas burner cooktop works, and includes tips on how to cook with and maintain the cooktop.

Using the surface burners

Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with an auto-reignition system. The sealed burners spread the heat evenly across the bottom of the cookware and provide infinite heat control. The auto-reignition system senses when a burner flame has gone out and will automatically reignite that burner.

IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural Gas. If you wish to use L.P. gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit is included with your new range. See the appropriate section of the Installation Instructions for details on making this conversion.
