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 to Lite.

The large burners (10,000, 12,000 and 18,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units] on 36" [91.4 cm] models and 9,100, 10,000 and 15,000 Btu/h on 30" [76.2 cm] models) provide the highest heat setting, and are ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and pans. The small burners, 6,000 and

7,000 Btu/h and the inner crown of the central burner 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.

Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained repair specialist.

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.

Reignition Feature

During the cooking cycle, if one or more burners power off due to external causes (such as water spillage, wind, distorted flame, etc.), the ignition system will turn on to reignite the flame. When the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the low setting on a burner.

Power Failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting. Do not use a grill or griddle accessory during a power failure, as the vent fan will not operate.

To Light:

1.Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to Lite will produce a flame.

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