• If you turn the knob, but the surface burner does not ignite, turn off the control knob immediately.
• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

Using the cooktop burners

Cookware

Requirements

• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Tight-fitting lid
• Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or pan.

Material characteristics

• Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.
• Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
• Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for cooktop cooking or oven use.
• Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on a gas cooktop.

Size limitations

CAUTION
Do not place a pan or pot with a bottom diameter of about 10 inches or more on the RF or LF burner.

CAUTION
Do not place a pan or pot with a bottom diameter of about 6 inches or less on the center grate. This cookware may tip over. Use the rear burners for this small-sized cookware.

• Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop and not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of burns, spillovers, and the ignition of flammable materials that can occur if pots or pans are bumped accidently.
• If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for cooktop cooking.
• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. They can melt or ignite. Heating a sealed plastic container can cause a building up of dangerous pressure which can cause the container to explode.
• Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while cooking.

Install the grates

NOTE
Install the grates as instructed below for longest life. When installed properly, the openings in the grates are centered over the burners.
The three cooktop grates are designed to fit in specific positions on the cooktop. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper positions.

• Place the left and right grates so that the thicker side of the right grate lines up with the right side of the cooktop and the thicker side of the left grate lines up with the left side of the cooktop.
• The center grate must be installed with the filled-in section, marked with the word ‘BACK’, towards the back of the cooktop.

The center grate has two overhangs to help you locate the side grates correctly. The overhangs will snag the side grates if you install the side grates in the wrong direction or on the wrong side. See the illustration below.

To replace the grates correctly, follow these steps:

1. Orient the center grate as noted in the directions on the left.
2. Gently lower the legs of the center grate so that the legs rest in the center grate dimples on the cooktop.
3. Orient the left and right grates so that the thicker side the right grate lines up with the right side of the cooktop and the thicker side of the left grate lines up with the left side of the cooktop.
4. Gently lower the legs of the right gate into the corresponding dimples on the cooktop. Repeat with the left grate. When installed correctly, neither gate will make contact with the overhangs on the center grate.

Care and cleaning of the cooktop

WARNING
Be sure unplug the power cord and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop. If the power cord is inaccessible, turn off power to the cooktop at the breaker or fuse box.

Cooktop surface
We recommend that you remove food spills immediately after they take place.

1. Turn off all surface burners.
2. Wait until all burner grates cool down, and then remove them.
3. Clean the cooktop surface using a soft cloth. If food spills run into gaps of the burner components, remove the burner cap and the head, and wipe up the spills.
4. When you are done cleaning, reinsert the burner components, and then put the burner grates back into position.

Porcelain enamel surfaces (on some models)
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods with high sugar content (such as fruit, juices, tomatoes, or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If an acidic food spills on the cooktop while it is hot, turn off all burners, and then use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe the spill up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash it with an all-purpose cleaner and water. Rinse well. For other spills, such as fat spatterings, wash the cooktop with soap and water or an all-purpose cleaner after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
