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.

IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory set for use with Natural Gas. If you wish to use L.P. Gas, an L.P. Gas Conversion Kit is included with your new cooktop. See the instructions included with the L.P. Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this conversion.

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

The TripleTier™ Flame Burner (18,000 BTU [British Thermal Units]) provides the highest heat setting, and is ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and pans.

The medium burners (15,000 BTU) provide the high heat setting, and are ideal for cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using larger pots and pans.

The small burners (6,000 BTU) 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 THE BURNER OFF. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown 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.

REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cook- top area may become hot.
