COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
IMPORTANT: Your cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas.
If you wish to use LP gas, an LP Gas Conversion Kit is included
with your new cooktop. See the instructions included with the LP
Gas Conversion Kit for details on making this conversion.
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to IGNITE.
The large burners provide the highest heat setting and are ideal for
cooking large quantities of food or liquid and using large pots and
pans. The small burners allow more accurate simmer control at the
lowest setting and are ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food
and using smaller pots and pans.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner while using empty cookware or without
any cookware on the grate.
NOTE: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does
not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter
click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or
blown household fuse.
Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the
valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained
repair specialist.
Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the igniter will become grounded and
occasionally click, even after the burner has ignited. Contact
a trained repair specialist to check the wall receptacle to see
whether it is wired with the correct polarity.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the
control knob turned to IGNITE will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the
following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can
be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to IGNITE. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting. Do not use a grill or griddle accessory during a power
failure as the vent fan will not operate.
Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and
uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and
routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General
Cleaning” section.

the pan.
