Cooktop Controls

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 cooktop. See the instructions included with the LP Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this conversion.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned on.

The large burners (15,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units] and 12,500 Btu/h) provide the highest heat setting, and are ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and pans. The small burners (9,200 Btu/h, 8,000 Btu/h and

5,000 Btu/h) allow more accurate simmer control at the lowest setting, and are ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food, using smaller pots and pans.

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 a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown household fuse.

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.

To Set:

1.Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to light the burner.

All surface burners will click. Only the burner that has been turned on will produce a flame.

2.Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

Simmer Burners*

Simmer burners are located in the left rear position (on some models) or the center position. The simmer burner offers a lower Btu/h flame for delicate sauces or melting chocolate.

*Btu/h rating will vary when using LP gas.
