Grounding Instructions (electric ignition models only)

IMPORTANT: READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This appliance is equipped with a 3 prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

For personal safety, this cooktop must be properly grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into a 120V—60 Hz. outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded.

If a two-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three- prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD ROUND GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG. SEE THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PACKAGED WITH THIS COOKTOP FOR COMPLETE INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPERATE THE COOKTOP USING A TWO-PRONG ADAPTER OR AN EXTENSION CORD.

Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an adaptor plug, an extension cord, or remove grounding prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.

Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion

Severe shock or damage to the cooktop may occur if the cooktop is not installed by a qualified installer or electrician.

This appliance can be used with Natural Gas and Propane Gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.

If you wish to convert your cooktop for use with Liquefied Petroleum (propane) gas, for some models you should order the conversion kit from your local dealer or from an authorized service agency (see Warranty). See the installation instructions for the conversion kit number (for models with sealed burners only).

For other models the conversion kit is included in the packaging, if you wish to convert your cooktop for use with propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in the package containing the installation instruction, in a bag marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION". Follow the instructions packaged with the orifices (for models with sealed burners only).

For models with open burners, see the installation instructions guide for the conversion instructions.

The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow the instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Flame Size

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*Flame Size

Type of Cooking

High Flame

Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling

Medium Flame

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam

Low Flame

Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

 

 

*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

5

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
