IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GAS COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before removing the cookware.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cook- ware may expose a portion of the flame to
direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing or other items. Using the proper cookware on the cooking areas will improve efficiency. Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings — Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spill overs that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service with- out breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use. When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use of kitchen clean- ers and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury. Clean ventilating hoods frequently – Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning vent hoods.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This re- duces the risk of personal injury and dam- age to the appliance. Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand. Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.
Gas surface burner types
The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burn- ers with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in large amounts increases as the burner size increases.
- Small burners are best used for low-flame heat- ing of small amounts of food.
- Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.
- The largest burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The large burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being pre- pared. Select a burner and set the flame size appro- priately for the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Assembly of the Burner Caps
Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.
- Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.
- Make sure burner caps are properly placed on the surface burners.
- Unpack the burner grates and position them on the cooktop.
- Discard all packing material..
On round-style burners, the burner cap lip, should fit snug into the center of the burner head and rest level. Refer to Figure 2 for correct and in- correct burner cap placement. Burner cap
Burner caps and burner heads
Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Figure 2) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click.
Figure 2: Gently move cap for proper placement
Before Setting Surface Control:
Install Burner Grates
To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess..
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
- Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
- Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element mark- ings or burner.
- It is recommended to use smaller diameter can- ners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.
- Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
- Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, re- duce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
- Use tested recipes and follow instructions careful- ly. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
- It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.
Setting surface controls
The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas ap- pliance may be equipped with many different sized surface burners.
It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.
- The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.
- Small burners are best used for low-flame heat- ing of small amounts of food.
- Large burners are best for bringing large quanti- ties of liquid to temperature or heating larger quantities of food.
Setting a surface burner:
- Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner grate.
- Push the burner’s surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position
- Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position (
). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas flame. - Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface control knob in and turn counter clock-wise to the desired flame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the knob markings.
Set proper burner flame size
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if flame is yellow-orange.
For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the pro- cess. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Table 1).
For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be under-cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too

Cooking with a griddle (optional)
The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for cooking foods that require large flat surfaces such as pancakes, French toast, grilled sandwiches, bacon, and also for cooking different foods at the same time.
After use, let the griddle cool before washing. Hand wash with hot soapy water. Do not soak. Dry thoroughly. Do not put a griddle in a dishwasher. If you would like to purchase a griddle, please call the service number listed in this manual.
Using the griddle:
Place the griddle securely on top of the burner grates. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.
