COOKTOP USE

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.

Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle or junction box does not provide correct polarity, the igniter will become grounded and occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact a trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle or junction box to see whether it is wired with the correct polarity.

Reignition Feature

During cooktop use, if one or more burners are extinguished due to external causes (such as a water spill, wind or ventilation draft), the ignition system will turn on to reignite the flame. When the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking. If the draft in the room is not removed, occasional sparking may continue. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the low setting on a burner.

To Set:

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. See the instructions included in the Installation Instructions for details on making this conversion.

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

Three different sizes of burners are provided: 20,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units], 15,000 Btu/h, and 5,000 Btu/h.

The 20,000 Btu/h stacked power burner has an upper and lower level of flame.

The Power Hi setting uses both flame levels at full power to provide the highest heat and is ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, and using large pots and pans. The Simmer Hi and Lo settings use the upper flame only and allow for accurate simmer control and cooking of smaller quantities of food.

The 5,000 Btu/h burner reaches a low of 500 Btu/h, and is ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food and melting chocolate or butter.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner 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 off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.

1.Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

When the control knobs for any small or medium burner are turned to the LITE position, all small and medium burners will click. When the control knob for the large burner is turned to the LITE position, these burners will click independent of the other burners. In both cases, only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

2.Turn knob counterclockwise to anywhere between HI and LO. Push in one more time to get from LO to Simmer HI.

Use the following charts as a guide when setting heat levels.
