Wear proper apparel.
Loose
fitting
or
hanging garments
should never be worn
while using
the
appliance.
Do not let
clothing
or other
flammable materials
contact
surface
burners until
they
have had
sufficient
time to cool.
When
heating fa-tor grease, watch it closely and do not leave unattended.
Fa-tor
grease may
catch fire if
allowed
to become too hot.
Do not use
water
or
flour
on grease fires.
Smother
the fire with a pan
lid,
baking
soda or use a dry
chemical
or
foam-type
extinguisher.
Operate of the
Surface Burners.
When the burners are operated for the first
time,
a
small
amount of
smoke may
be
generated
due to tape
residue
or
manufacturing lubrication.
THIS IS NOT DANGEROUS. Operate the burners
for about
five
minutes to rid the burners of this
material
before cooking.
Use only
dry
pot holders. Wet or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces
can result in burns
from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or
other
bulky clothing stead
of a pot holder.
Use
proper
flame size.
Adjust flame size
that so it does not extend beyond the
edge
of
the
utensil.
The
use
of
under sized cookware
will expose
apportion of the burner
flame
and may result in severe burns or direct contact and ignition of clothing. Also, proper
relationship
of
utensil
to burner
will improve
efficiency.
Know which knob controls each
burner.
Place a pan of food on the burner
before turn ignition, and turn the burner off before
removing
the pan.
Always
turn to the ignite position when lighting top burners. Then adjust the flame size
so it does not extend
beyond
the
edge
of the utensil.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface
burners.
To
reduce
the
risk
of burns,
ignition
of
flammable e materials,
and
spillage
due
t
o
unintentional
contact
with
the
utensil,
the
handle
of a
utensil should
be
positioned
so
that it
is
turned
inward,
and does not
extend
over
adjacent surface
burners.
Never leave the
surface burners
unattended.
Boil over s
can
leave greasy spills
that can
create excess smoke
or a
fire hazard,
and
cookware
that has
boiled dry may warp
or melt.
Allow
parts
to cool to room
temperature
before touching or removing them from
the range top. When a surface burner is first turned off, the burner and grate are hot
enough
to
cause
burns.
Clean the
r
a
nge top
r
e
gularly
to keep all parts clean of grease or residue which
could catch
fire.
Pay particular
attention to the
area under neath each surface
burner.
Do
not allow fa-tor grease to
accumulate.
If a hood has been installed for use with the
range top, ensure that it is kept
clean
and in good
working
order.
Greasy
deposits in the
fan
could catch fire. Refer
to the hood
manufacturer’s instructions
for cleaning.

These cook tops must be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent
hood. Due to the high capacity of these professional cook tops, attention shoul
d
be paid to the hood and duct work installation to ensu
r
e
it meets local building
codes.
To eliminate risk of burns or fire by reaching
over
heated surfaces, unit cabinet’s
storage located above the cooking
surface
should be avoided
Do not use a “cyclonic” range top hood with this product. Some range top
hoods
circulate air by blowing downward toward
the
range top
then
drawing
the
air
back
up into the hood. This
creates
a
“cyclonic” air wash
that is
designed
for
electric range tops only.
A
“cyclonic”
hood
may cause
the
burners
of a
gas range
top
to
operate
improperly.
Glazed cooking utensils: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware,
or other
glazed utensils are suitable
for
cooking
due to the sudden
change
in
temperature. Check
the
manufacturer’s recommendations
for
range top
use.
Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the
range top.
These
items could
melt or
ignite. Pot
holders, towels
or wooden spoons
could catch fire if place
too
close
to the flame.
Do not use a wok equipped with a metal
ring that
extends beyond the
burner.
Because
this
ring
traps
heat,
the burner and
grate could
be
damaged.
Also,
the burner may not
work properly, creating
a carbon
monoxide level above
current
health
standards.
Flexible
Connectors:
If the gas
range top
is connected to a gas supply
with a metal flexible connector, disconnect the range top with CAUTION
for service or cleaning.
Flexible connectors are not intended
for
repeated bending. Do not allow
cleaners to make contact with flexible connectors.
The connect or and its fittings
are
designed
for
use only on the
original
installation and are not to be reused
for another
appliance or at
an other
location.Connectors must comply with A NSIZ 21.24.
It is good practice
for
each household to have an
appropriate fire
extinguisher for
use in the event of a house fire.

Installing the Range top
Remove
the
range top
from its
package
and set
aside all
burners,burner caps
and grates.
Gently slide in
the cook top in to the cut-out,
make
sure your cut-outs are
there for the
gas
connection and
electrical
hookup
(if
you choose to use it).
Once this is done
you’re
now
ready
to
slide
the
range top all
the
way
back
to
the wall.
Install all
burners and burner caps
Install all
grates.
Connecting gas to range top
This
range top
is
designed
to operate at a
pressure
of 4”of
water
column on
natural
gas
or 10”of
water
column on propane
gas
(LPG).
Make
sure you are
supplying
your
range top
with the
type
of
gas
for
which
it is
designed.
It’s shipped
for
use with NG. This range top is
convertible
for use on
natural gas
(LPG)
also.
When
using
this
range top
on LPG
gas,conversion
must be
made by a
qualified
LPG
installer
before
attempting
tooperatetherangetoponthat gas.
For correct
operation,
the
pressure
of
natural gas supplied
to the
regulator
should be
between
4”and 5”of
water column.
For LP
gas,
the
pressure supplied
must be
between
10”and 12”of
water
column.
When
checking
for correct operation of the
regulator,
the
inlet pressure
must beat
least
1”more than the
operating manifold pressure
as
given
above.
The
pressure regulator located
at the
inlet
of the
range top manifold
must
remain
in
the
supply line regardless
of whether Natural(NG)or Propane
(LP)gas
is being
used.
A
flexible metal appliance
connect or used to connect the
range top
to the
gas
supply should be 3 feet/91.4 cm
max.
in length for
easy installation.
In
Canada,
flexible connectors should be
single wall metal
connectors
less
than 6
feet/182.9 cm in length.
Shut off the main
gas supply valve
before
removing
the old
cooking appliance
(if
applicable)
and
leave
it of fun til the new hook-up has been
completed.
Don’t forget
to
relight
the pilots on other
gas appliances
when you turn the
gas
back on.
Because
hard
piping restricts

Guidelines for using range top burners
There are dual burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering
(620 BTU/hr). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and
delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.
Never leave the cook top unattended when in use. Boil over causes smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite.
Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides. This could discolor
and damage the utensil and you may get burned touching a hot handle.
Keep handles out of the way. Turn handles so that they don’t extend over the edge of the
range or another burner that is on.
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high
setting.
Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place. Incorrectly or incompletely
assembled burners may produce dangerous flames. See‘Replacing the burner parts’ in
‘Care and cleaning’.
Keep the burners clean. Especially after a spill or boil over, make sure you clean the
affected burners before using them again. Food residue may clog the igniter and the
notches of the flame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning correctly. See ‘Care
and cleaning’ for instructions.
Check that the burner flames are regular. They should be blue with no yellow tipping,
and burn without fluttering all around the burner cap. If not, see ‘Troubleshooting’ for
advice.

To light the top burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to
the “HI” position. You will hear a clicking noise – the sound of the electric spark
igniting the burner. Once burner ignition has been achieved, then turn the burner control
knob to adjust the the desired heat setting.
NOTE:When one burner is turned to the “HI” position, the burner igniters will park.
Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. Do
no
t touch any burner cap, burner base, or igniter while the igniters are sparking.
Simmer and Boil
1. A smaller flame will give the best simmer results. Small flames offer precise cooking
performance for delicate foods, keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for
cooking that need to cook over low heat for a long time.
2. The highest (larger) flame settings provide the maximum heat that is available on your
range. This setting should be used for heavy cooking loads such as water boiling or pasta
cooking.
Flame Size
When you select the flame size, watch the flame when you turn the knob.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.
The flame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line may cause
an orange flame during initial operation.

Power Failure
If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least five
minutes for any gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
If the power fails, it is not capable of being safely placed in operation and user that no
attempt should be made to operate during power failure.
Cook top
To prevent the cook top from discoloring or staining, clean cook top after each use, and
wipe up acidic or sugary spills as soon as the cook top has cooled.
The sealed burners of your range are not sealed to your cook top and are designed to be
removed. Boil overs or spills will not seep underneath the cook top. The burners should
be cleaned after each use.
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation of the
grates may result in scratching of the cook top and / or poor combustion.
