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.

Type of Cooktop	Description	How it Works
Gas Burners	Regular or sealed	Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but
	gas burners use	pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change

Induction	High frequency	Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is

SURFACE COOKING

Electric Ignition

Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

Surface Burner Controls

The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are located on the control panel on the front of the range. The 2 knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners. The 2 knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners
