Operation
Simmer and Boil
•A smaller ame will give the best simmer results. Small ames offer precise cooking performance for delicate foods,
keeping food warm, melting chocolate or butter, and for slow-cooking over low heat.
•The highest (larger) ame settings provide the maximum possible heat. This setting should be used for heavy cooking
loads such as water boiling and pasta cooking.
Flame Size
•When adjusting the burner knob, watch the ame size.
•Any ame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted.
•The ame should be steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line
may cause an orange ame during initial operation.
Power Failure
•If the gas does not ignite within four seconds, turn off the valve and allow at least ve minutes for any gas to dissipate.
Repeat the lighting procedure.
•If the power fails, the surface burners can be lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwiseto“HI”.Afterburnerlights,turnknobtosetting.
Cooktop
•To prevent the appliance from discoloring or staining, clean cooktop after each use, and wipe up acidic or sugary spills
as soon as the appliance has cooled.
•The sealed burners of your appliance are not secured to the cooktop and are designed to be removed. Boil overs or
spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners should be cleaned after each use.
WARNINGS:
FOOD SAFETY
According to the United States Department of Agriculture: DO NOT hold foods at temperatures between 40°F to 140°F
more than 2 hours. Cooking raw foods below 275°F is not recommended.
Burner Grates
•The grates must be properly positioned before cooking.
Improper installation of the grates may result in
scratching of the cooktop and / or poor combustion.
•Do not operate the burners without a pan or utensil on
the grates.

WARNING:
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas fuel. When operating your
appliance on natural gas, the flames from the burners should be blue in color. In addition, the flames should be
stable, free of yellow tipping, excessive noise and lifting. However, this yellow tipping should be restricted to the
primary flame kernels only. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to those substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or use of a
ventilation fan or hood.
