Using the Cooktop

Cooktop Modules

The size and location of gas burners vary depending on the rangetop model. The large burners are the primary burners for most cooking. The small burners are used for delicate foods such as sauces or foods that require low heat for a long cooking time. Depending on your model, some or all of the small burners are equipped with the Extra Low Simmer function, which controls heat by turning the flame on and off at preset intervals. The Extra Low Simmer function is available on the small burners marked with an asterisk below.

Cooktop Layouts

Cooktop Timers

Each cooktop control knob has an LED display at the top which provides information such as heat level, or time remaining. The gas control knobs include a timer function. The red LED numbers display heat levels and the blue LED numbers display the timer countdown.

Setting the Cooktop Timers
A cooktop timer can only be set when the element is in use. After the timer ends, a chime sounds until the element is turned OFF.

1. Push in and turn the knob to turn on the element.
2. Set a timer by turning the LED ring behind the knob. Turn the LED ring right or left and hold it to increase or decrease the time.
3. Release the LED ring when the desired time appears in the knob display.
4. The knob display shows the time counting down. A chime sounds when the time ends.
5. To cancel a timer, turn the LED ring to the left until 1 appears in the display. Then, turn the LED ring to the left again.

The Gas Surface Burners

Before Use
Read all instructions before using. Make sure that all burners are properly placed. Burner locations differ depending on the rangetop model. Burner locations can be found under “Using the Cooktop.” Make sure that all grates are properly placed before using the burners.

CAUTION

• Do not operate the burners for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate.
• The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Make sure the burners and grates have cooled down before touching them, or placing a pot holder, cleaning cloth, or other materials on them. Touching grates before they cool down may cause burns.

CAUTION WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Open windows.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

NOTE
Electric spark igniters from the burners cause a clicking noise. If the flame goes out, the reignition system reignites the burners automatically.

Using the Gas Surface Burners

1. Be sure that all of the surface burners and grates are placed in the correct positions.

2. Place cookware on the grate.

3. Push the control knob and turn to the Lite position until the flames have ignited.
   The electric spark ignition system makes a clicking noise.

4. Turn the control knob to control the flame size.

CAUTION
Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. All the burners spark when any burner is turned to Lite. An electric shock may result causing you to knock over hot cookware.

NOTE

• It is normal for the flames to turn off and on periodically during Extra Low Simmer(S1, S2 and S3).
• It is normal to occasionally hear the spark igniters operating while using the gas burner. For safety, the spark igniters are activated if the flame is blown in the wind or momentarily disappears.
• The burner settings on the control knobs are not consistent across all burners. For example, the HI setting on a large burner may be hotter than the HI setting on a small burner. The actual power for each setting varies based on burner characteristics such as the BTU and whether the burner uses a Continuous Simmer function or an Extra Low Simmer function.

Setting the Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. Match the flame size on a gas burner to the cookware being used for fastest heating

CAUTION
Never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.

NOTE

• The flames on the surface burners may burn yellow in the presence of high humidity, such as a rainy day or a nearby humidifier.
• After LP gas conversion, flames can be bigger than normal when you put a pot on the surface burner.
• When turning a surface burner from high heat to simmer quickly, make sure the flames stay lit. See page 19 to adjust the burner flames, if necessary.

In Case of Power Failure

If you experience a power outage, you can carefully light the gas surface burners on the rangetop with a match. Gas burners in use when the power goes out will continue to operate normally.

1. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in the control knob.
2. Turn the control knob to the 1 position.

CAUTION
Use extreme caution when lighting burners with a match. Doing so can cause burns and other damage.

Cookware for Gas Burners

Aluminum

| Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
---|---
Cast-Iron| If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

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 work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Enamelware

| Under some conditions, the enamel of this cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass

| There are two types of glass cookware. Those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking.

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 gas ranges.

Extra Low Simmer

• Extra Low Simmer is available on some small burners, depending on your model. The function is available on the small burners marked with an asterisk on page 22. On these burners, the S1 to S3 settings are for Extra Low Simmer and the S4 setting is for a continuous simmer. The Simmer setting on the other small and large burners applies heat to food continuously.
• Extra Low Simmer controls the heat by turning the flame on and off at preset intervals. This allows foods such as sauces, chocolate and jam to simmer longer without scorching.
• The intervals without flame become longer as you move from S3 to S1.
• The S4 simmer setting keeps the flame lit continuously.

NOTE

• It may look like the burners are turned off during Extra Low Simmer.
• It is normal for the flames to turn off and on periodically during Extra Low Simmer.
• The electric igniters automatically operate periodically to reignite the burners.

Using the Wok Grates

The large burner grates can be flipped over to handle a wide variety of round- bottom woks.

1. Turn off all burners and allow the grates and cooktop to cool before reversing the grates.
2. Flip the large burner grate so the wok grate is facing up.
3. Use a 14″ round-bottomed wok. Do not use a wok that does not rest securely in the wok grate.

NOTE

• Do not use the wok grate with cookware other than a wok.
• Clean the wok grate with hot, soapy water. Do not use oven cleaners, steel wool, or abrasive cleansers.

CAUTION

• Turn off all burners and allow wok grate, burner grates, and cooktop to cool before reversing or removing wok grate.
• The wok grate retains heat for a long time. Always use an oven mitt when installing or removing the wok grate. Do not store the wok grate on another burner grate.
• Do not use flat-bottomed cookware or incorrectly sized woks with the wok grate. The cookware or wok could tip and cause personal injury.
• Do not use a wok larger than 14″ with the wok grate. Doing so could cause burner flames to spread excessively and damage the cooktop.

Using Stove-Top Grills

Do not place stovetop grills on the burner.

CAUTION
Do not use stove top grills on the surface burners. Using a stove top grill on the surface burner will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be a health hazard.
