Maytag MGC7430 Gas Cooktop

Gas Cooktop Quick Start Guide

Product Information
The gas cooktop is designed for cooking purposes and comes with various burners for different cooking needs. It is important to follow the safety instructions provided in the appliance’s Owner’s Manual to ensure safe operation. The cooktop can be used with either Natural gas or Liquid Propane (with a conversion kit).

Assembling the Burners
Before operating the cooktop, check your model number and refer to the appropriate section in the manual for specific information on assembling the burners. It is crucial to assemble the burners correctly to avoid any accidents or malfunctions.

Selecting the Proper Flame Size
When using the cooktop, it is important to select the flame size that matches the cookware being used. Adjust the heat by watching the flame, not the knob. A flame larger than the bottom of the cookware wastes energy and can cause handle heating. Follow these instructions to avoid fire hazards.

Power Failure
In case of a power failure, the surface burners can be manually lit. Follow the instructions in the manual to safely light the burners during a power outage.

Propane Gas Conversion
This cooktop comes factory set for use with Natural gas. If you wish to use Liquid Propane, a licensed professional should install the Propane gas conversion kit included with the product.

Using Your Cooktop

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.

Selecting the proper flame size
The flame size should match the cookware you are using. When you adjust the heat, watch the flame, not the knob. A flame larger than the bottom of the cookware wastes energy and will heat the handle.

High flame – Start food cooking, bring water to a boil, or pan broiling.
Medium flame – Maintain a slow boil, fry or sauté, thicken sauces, steam, or stew.
Low flame – Keep food cooking, simmer, or keep food warm.
