Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
• Before performing any service, unplug the cooktop or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the cooktop before operating to prevent ignition of these
• Avoid scratching or impacting cooktop or control Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire, or cuts may occur. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Do not remove the 6 black Z brackets screwed to the bottom of the cooktop (on some models).
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• CAUTION Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a cooktop – children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from Do not let pot holders touch surface burners or burner grate. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
• Be careful not to touch hot surfaces of the cooktop.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
• Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations can be found at gov and fsis.usda.gov . Use a food thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations.

WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.

• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.

• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum amount of oil when using a shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

• Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame may be hazardous.

• Always use the LITE position when igniting the top
  burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

• When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of sudden change in temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the cooktop without extending over nearby burners.

• Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.

• Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.

• When disabling gas lockout (on some models), make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF This will prevent unintended gas flow from the burners.

• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR APPLIANCE

Dispose of or recycle your appliance in accordance with Federal and Local Regulations. Contact your local authorities for the environmentally safe disposal or recycling of your appliance.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Consider recycling options for your appliance packaging material.

In Case of a Power Failure

In the event of a power failure, the surface burners may be lit with a match. Using extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface burner cap,
surface burners will continue to operate normally.

**Surface Burners

**

Lighting a Surface Burner
WARNING Burners should be operated only when covered by cookware. Burner flames not covered by cookware present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let flames  extend beyond the sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.
Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob

You will hear a clicking noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner. When one burner is turned to LITE, all burners will spark. Sparking will continue as long as the knob remains at LITE. Once gas is ignited, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.
Push the control knob in and turn it the LITE position

Selecting a Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the  bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be hazardous.

These flames are too large for the pot

Using the Surface Burners
NOTES:

• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Do not attempt to disassemble any burner while another burner is on. Damage to the product may occur.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.

Your cooktop has sealed gas burners that offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time.
The extra-large burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. Some models have a POWER BOILTM setting especially designed for use with cookware with a diameter of 11 inches or larger.

Types of Surface Burners

Round Burner
Use this burner for general cooking purposes.
Size cookware appropriately to the flames.

Cooktop Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight­fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat or as the manufacturer recommends.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for surface burner cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check the cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas surface burners.

Stove Top Grills
Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

Removing your Cookware from the Cooktop
When removing hot cookware from the burner, be sure to lift it high enough to not come in contact with your control knobs. Hot cookware coming into contact with the control knobs could cause damage, such as melting or warping.

Cleaning the Cooktop

Cooktop Surface
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning powders on the cooktop surface. Clean with a mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft CleanserTM’ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, soft sponge.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of this manual.

Cleaning the Cooktop

Cleaning Knobs
For easier cleaning, the control knobs may be removed by pulling them directly upwards once the knobs are in the OFF position. The knobs can be washed by hand with  soap and water or in a dishwasher.
To replace knobs after cleaning, align the hole on the knob backside with the gas valve shaft and push downward until the knob is securely fastened. All knobs are interchangeable except control lockout (on some models).

Pull the knob straight up off the stem.

Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning
Turn all controls OFF. Allow cooktop to cool before removing grates and burner parts. When removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace  them in the same location after cleaning.

Cleaning the Surface Burners

Cleaning the Burner Caps
Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. You may scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. The round burner caps may also be cleaned in your dishwasher.

Cleaning the Burner Heads
Wash the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers which could clog the burner openings. Lift burners off when cool. Wash with hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water. For more stubborn stains, use a brush with plastic bristles.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean the burner parts as these may clog the openings. Never wash burner heads in your dishwasher. Doing so may cause them to discolor.
The ports in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.
Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes will not allow the burner to operate properly.

Replacing Surface Burners
Before replacing the burner caps, heads and oval head/ cap assembly, shake out excess water and allow them to dry thoroughly.

CAUTION Do not operate the cooktop without all burner parts and grates in place.
Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Avoid hitting the electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed when the burner head is removed. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or  clean around any burner while another burner is on.
