Each burner has a corresponding knob that lets you to set the flame level from LO to HI. In addition, each burner knob has a Lite setting. Turning a knob to Lite ignites the corresponding burner. The burner indicators are located above each knob and show which burner the knob controls. Each burner is designed for specific cooking purposes. See the table below.

What’s included

Using the cooktop burners

Ignition

Make sure all cooktop burners are properly installed. To light a burner:

1. Fully press down the control knob for the corresponding cooking position and turn it to the left, to the Lite position, and hold it here for a few seconds at most until the burner ignites.
2. After igniting, keep the control knob pressed for about 5-8 seconds more because the heat sensor that opens the gas channel has to warm up first. Set control knob to the position you want.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to check the operation of each cooktop burner in succession.
4. The flame size can be set continuously between maximum and minimum by slowing turning the control knob.

Manual ignition

If there is a power failure, you can ignite the burner manually. Use caution when doing this.

1. Hold a long gas grill lighter to the cooktop burner you want to light.
2. Push in the control knob for that burner, and then turn it to the Lite position. Turn on the grill lighter to ignite the burner.
3. After the burner is lit, turn the control knob to adjust the flame level.

Flame level

The flames on the burners should always stay under the cookware, and should not extend beyond the cookware bottom at any time.

WARNING

• Flames larger than the cookware bottom may result in a fire or physical injury.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the burner knob quickly. Watch the flame to make sure it stays on.
• After turning on a surface burner, make sure that the burner is ignited. Adjust the level of the flame by turning the burner knob.
• Always turn off the surface burner controls before removing cookware. All surface burner controls should be turned OFF when you are not cooking.
• Always turn the burners off before you go to sleep or go out.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop and call a qualified service technician. NEVER use an open flame to locate a leak.
• If you turn the knob, but the surface burner does not ignite, turn off the control knob immediately.
• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

Cookware

Requirements

• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Tight-fitting lid
• Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or pan.

Material characteristics

• Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.
• Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
• Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for cooktop cooking or oven use.
• 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 a gas cooktop.

Size limitations

CAUTION

• Do not place a pan or pot with a bottom diameter of about 10 inches or more on the RF or LF burner.

• Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop and not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of burns, spillovers, and the ignition of flammable materials that can occur if pots or pans are bumped accidently.
• If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for cooktop cooking.
• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. They can melt or ignite. Heating a sealed plastic container can cause a building up of dangerous pressure which can cause the container to explode.
• Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while cooking.

Install the grates

Note:

Install the grates as instructed below for longest life. When installed properly, the openings in the grates are centered over the burners. The two cooktop grates are designed to fit in specific positions on the cooktop.

For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper positions.

• Distinguish the left and right grates. When picking up the grates, you can see the LEFT and RIGHT letters near the overhangs of the grates.
• Place the grates with the overhangs and letters at the back and the overhangs facing out. Then put the grate with the LEFT letter on the left side, and the grate with the RIGHT letter on the right side.

The left and right grate have overhangs and letters to help you locate the side grates correctly. They will stack up and be placed unevenly when you locate wrong direction. See the illustration below.

To replace the grates correctly, follow these steps:

1. Overhangs must be placed outward.
2. Make the rubber feet of the grates match with the panel bulge.
3. Adjust the grates to place it on the panel smoothly

Care and cleaning of the cooktop

WARNING

Be sure unplug the power cord and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop. If the power cord is inaccessible, turn off power to the cooktop at the breaker or fuse box.

Cooktop surface

We recommend that you remove food spills immediately after they take place.

1. Turn off all surface burners.
2. Wait until all burner grates cool down, and then remove them.
3. Clean the cooktop surface using a soft cloth. If food spills run into gaps of the burner components, remove the burner cap and the head, and wipe up the spills.
4. When you are done cleaning, reinsert the burner components, and then put the burner grates back into position.

Porcelain enamel surfaces (on some models)

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid- resistant. However, any acidic foods with high sugar content (such as fruit, juices, tomatoes, or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If an acidic food spills on the cooktop while it is hot, turn off all burners, and then use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe the spill up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash it with an all-purpose cleaner and water. Rinse well. For other spills, such as fat spatterings, wash the cooktop with soap and water or an all- purpose cleaner after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

Stainless steel surfaces (on some models)

1. Remove any spills, spots, and grease stains using a soft, wet cloth.
2. Apply an apporoved stainless steel cleanser to a cloth or paper towel.
3. Clean one small area at a time, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.
4. When done, dry the surface using a soft, dry cloth.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 as many times as necessary.

CAUTION

• Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleaner, which can scratch or damage the surface.
• Do not remove the cooktop surface to clean it. The gas lines leading to the burner manifolds can be damaged, resulting in a fire or system failure.
• Do not pour water into the cooktop well while cleaning the cooktop. This could leak down into the cooktop gas and electrical systems creating a risk of electrical shock or high levels of Carbon Monoxide due to corrosion of the gas valves or ports.
• Do not spray any type of cleanser into the manifold holes. The ignition system is located in those holes and must be kept free of moisture.
• Do not clean the cooktop or stainless steel parts with:
• Caustic lye (sodium hydroxide) or cleaners containing this chemical
• Hard or steel wool pads
• Abrasive materials or chemicals.

Control knobs

Make sure all surface burner knobs are in the OFF position.

1. Pull the knobs off the control valve stems.
2. Clean the knobs in warm, soapy water. Then rinse and dry them thoroughly.
3. Clean the stainless steel surfaces using stainless steel cleaner.
4. Re-attach the knobs in the OFF position to the control valve stems.

CAUTION

• Do not clean the control knobs in a dish washer.
• Do not spray cleansers directly onto the control panel. Moisture entering the electric circuits may cause electric shock or product damage.

Burner grates and components

Turn off all surface burners and make sure they have all cooled down.

1. Remove the burner grates.

2. Remove the burner caps from the burner heads.

3. Remove the burner heads from the valve manifolds to reveal the starter electrodes.

4. Clean all removable grates and burner components in warm, soapy water. Do not use steel-wool pads or abrasive cleaners.

5. Rinse and dry grates and burner components thoroughly.

6. Return the burner heads to their positions on top of the manifold valves. Make sure a starter electrode is inserted through the hole in each burner head

NOTE

See pages 17, 18 for detailed burner component re-assembly instructions.

7. Return the burner caps to their positions on top of the burner heads. To ensure proper and safe operation, make sure the burner caps lie flat on top of the burner heads.

8. Re-install the burner grates in their respective positions.

9. Turn on each burner and check if it operates properly. After verifying that a burner operates normally, turn it off.

Burner caps and heads

NOTES

Before removing the burner caps and heads, remember their size and location. Replace them in the same location after cleaning.

CAUTION

• Do not wash any burner parts in a dishwasher.
• Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to clean the burners.

Burner bases

CAUTION

The burner bases cannot be removed for cleaning.

Round burner base

Make sure that no water gets into the burner bases and the brass gas orifices. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Be careful not to scratch, deform, or damage the bases. Allow them to dry fully before using.

Electrodes

CAUTION

Do not attempt to remove the electrode from the cooktop or burner bases.

Be careful not to push in any cooktop controls while cleaning the cooktop. A slight electrical shock might result which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

NOTE

Do not attempt to remove the electrode from the cooktop.

Grates

CAUTION

Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher. They will be damaged. Lift grates out when cool. Grates should be washed regularly and after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates, be sure they are positioned securely over the burners.

Burner head and cap replacement

Round Burner head

1. Orient the burner head so that the opening for the electrode lines up with the electrode.

2. Install the burner head so that the electrode passes through the opening for the electrode. Make sure the burner head lies flat on the stove top.

CAUTION

Make sure all burner components (heads and caps) are reinstalled properly. They will be stable and rest flat when correctly installed.

Burner cap

1. Match the burner caps to the burners by size, and then re-install the caps on the burner heads.

CAUTION

Make sure each cap is re-installed on the correct burner head, is centered on the burner head, and lies flat.

CAUTION

Make sure all burner components (heads and caps) are reinstalled properly. They will be stable and rest flat when correctly installed.

NOTE

After you have re-installed the surface burners, ignite each one to ensure each one is working correctly. Incorrect placement of a burner head or cap will result in poor ignition or uneven flames (as shown in the pictures).

Troubleshooting

If you encounter a problem with the cooktop, check the tables starting below, and then try the suggested actions.

Checkpoints

Gas safety

You smell gas.

The surface burner knob is not in the OFF position and the burner is not lit.
