OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s
Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.
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.
PROPANE GAS CONVERSION
IMPORTANT: This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. If you
wish to use Liquid Propane, call a licensed professional to install the
Propane gas conversion kit (included).
PLACEMENT OF BURNER HEADS AND CAPS
All burner caps and burner bases should be properly installed BEFORE operating
the cooktop. Check that the right size head and cap is on the right size
burner.
Refer to the “Assembling the Burners” section for proper burner head placement
details.
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
IMPORTANT: All burners will click/spark when a knob is pushed in. A
burner will light only if the knob is pushed in then turned counterclockwise
to “Ignite”.
Surface burners use electric igniters. When the cooktop control knob is turned
to “Ignite” position, a spark is used to light the burner. This sparking will
continue between the “Ignite” and “Hi” position.
To light the burners:
- Push in the knob.
- Turn the knob counterclockwise to “Ignite”. Wait until you see a flame.
- Turn the knob anywhere between Hi and Lo to the desired setting.
