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.
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 on.
To Set:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to light the burner.
All surface burners will click. Only the burner that has been
turned on will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the
following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

The large burners (15,000 Btu/h [British Thermal Units] and
12,500 Btu/h) provide the highest heat setting, and are ideal for
cooking large quantities of food or liquid, using large pots and
pans. The small burners (9,200 Btu/h, 8,000 Btu/h and
5,000 Btu/h) allow more accurate simmer control at the lowest
setting, and are ideal for cooking smaller quantities of food, 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.
I REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop I

Cooktop Burners
High Performance Burner*
There is 1 high speed burner on the cooktop, located in the right
front position. This burner offers higher speed cooking that can
be used to quickly bring water to a boil and for large-quantity
cooking.
Proper grounding and polarity are necessary for correct operation
of the electric ignition system. If the wall receptacle does not
provide correct polarity, the igniters 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.
Simmer Burners*
Simmer burners are located in the left rear position (on some
models) or the center position. The simmer burner offers a lower
Btu/h flame for delicate sauces or melting chocolate.
*Btu/h rating will vary when using LP gas.
Power Failure
The ignition feature will not operate during a 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. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.
