SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN

(CONTINUED)

For safety considerations, NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room.

Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.

Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use aluminum foil to line the

surface burners. Doing so may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, step on, lean against, or sit on any part of the appliance. This

may result in damage to the appliance, or personal injury.

FIRE SAFETYFIRE SAFETY

To reduce the risk of a fire, do not leave surface burners unattended at high settings. Boil-overs could

smother the flames and igniter, which would allow un-burned gas to escape into the room, which

could result in an explosion.

Always turn on the ventilation hood when cooking. Clean vent hood grease filters frequently -

grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filters.

Use the appropriate pan size for the burner being used. For safety considerations, adjust the flame

size so they do not travel up the sides of the pan.

Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable

vapors and liquids. NEVER store flammable liquids and materials in, above, or on the rangetop, or

near cooking surfaces. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air of the appliance.

ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

ALWAYS have an appropriate dry-chemical fire extinguisher nearby. Smother fire or flames using

the lid of the utensil (pot or pan), a cookie sheet or metal tray. Then shut off the burner. Use an

extinguisher, or baking soda if the fire is small and relatively contained. DO NOT USE WATER ON A

GREASE FIRE. Doing so may result in spreading the fire elsewhere.

NEVER pick up a flaming pan. You may spill the grease on yourself and be severely burned.

If accessible, turn off the ventilation hood during a fire, but do not reach through the flames to do

this.

In the event of personal clothing or hair catching fire, drop and roll immediately to smother the

flames. Seek medical attention if necessary.

Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the front of the

appliance. Some fabrics are highly flammable and could ignite.

IF THE FLAMES DO NOT GO OUT - EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SAFETY DURING CLEANINGSAFETY DURING CLEANING

Only clean the appliance as directed in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section of this manual.

Do not use a steam cleaner on any part of the rangetop. Steam could penetrate into electrical

components and cause a short circuit and/or shock hazard.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard objects such as brushes or scrapers, or sharp metal tools to clean.

Do not pour cold water onto hot surfaces of the appliance. The steam could cause serious burns.

The sudden temperature change could also distort the metal surfaces resulting in permanent damage.

Use only a small toothbrush to clean the burner ports and igniter of the surface burners. Do not

insert sharp objects or scratch the burner ports.

Wait until the appliance is completely cool before using any aerosol-type cleaners. Many of these

cleaners use flammable propellants which could ignite in the presence of heat.

EN

PROPER USAGEPROPER USAGE

Do not heat unopened containers (cans) on the rangetop. Pressure may build up causing the

container to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance, or personal injury.

Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for use on the surface burners. However, these types of materials may break with

sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings, and according to their

manufacturers’ directions.

Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc. should not be used on the surface burners.

Large griddle plates that span across 2 burners should be used with care and on medium to low flame

settings to avoid a build-up of heat which could distort the grates or the burner bowl.

Always position the handles of pots and pans so they do not extend over adjacent work areas or

over the edge of the rangetop. This is to avoid knocking over hot contents which could burn you, or

result in a fire.

Ensure the sealed burner heads are properly installed and seated on the burner base as shown below.

There are notches on the burner base and cross ring to help with alignment. The outer burner head

features a long slot on the top of the head which aligns with the spark igniter. Assembly of the

single-flow burner head is similar.

FIRST TIME OPERATIONFIRST TIME OPERATION

When using your rangetop for the first time, any manufacturing oils and residues on the grates will

be burned off. This may produce a little smoke and some odor. This is normal and is typical of any

new appliance when first used. If the smell is strong, remove persons and animals from the kitchen

during this period. Open any windows to further vent the odor from the room.

Ensure there are no packaging materials remaining. Remove any labels or plastic film from the

outside of the appliance. Install all the cooking grates and griddle plate (if equipped).

BURNER HEADSBURNER HEADS

If the burner head is not properly positioned, one or more of the following issues may occur:

• Flames too high

• Flames shoot out of the burners

• Burners do not ignite

• Flames are uneven

• Burner emits a gas odor

BURN HAZARD - To prevent burns, do not touch the burner heads or cooking grates when hot.

Allow to cool completely. To prevent flare-ups, do not use the burner without all the burner heads in

place and properly positioned. Do not use aluminum foil to line the surface burners. Doing so may

result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

BURNER CONTROL KNOBSBURNER CONTROL KNOBS

Each sealed burner has its own control knob. The symbol below each knob indicates which burner is

controlled by each knob. Push and turn LEFT (counter-clockwise) to HI to ignite the flame, then turn

to the desired flame setting.

BURNER TYPES & OUTPUTBURNER TYPES & OUTPUT

This table indicates the

type and output of each

sealed burner. Dual-flow

burners have an inner and

outer row of ports, with

a simmer function. The

single-flow burner (some

models) is similar to a

commercial burner and

features very high output,

and a low, but no simmer

function.

RE-IGNITIONRE-IGNITION

Each sealed burner has its own electronic spark-ignition module with flame-sensing technology and

automatic re-ignition capability. If any burner should blow out, the igniter automatically re-lights the

burner.

Each burner should light in less than 4 seconds. Once lit, the sparking will stop. On very low simmer,

an occasional sparking may occur. This is usually due to a breeze in the room. If an igniter continues

to spark even with a flame present, there could be an electrical wiring issue, or some other problem.

See the TROUBLESHOOTING section of this manual for more information.

DO NOT touch the burner or the igniters while sparking is occuring. A shock hazard or burns could

occur.

MANUAL LIGHTING / POWER FAILUREMANUAL LIGHTING / POWER FAILURE

THE GRIDDLE CANNOT BE USED DURING A POWER FAILURE.

Each sealed burner can be manually lit in the event of a power failure. It is necessary to light each

burner individually.

If a power failure occurs WHILE you are using the sealed burners, turn all the knobs to the OFF

position - then light manually with a match or fireplace lighter.

Position the match or fireplace lighter at the port nearest the igniter, then turn the knob to HI until

the flame is lit. Wait until the flame has lit all the way around the burner before adjusting the knob

to LOW or SIMMER.

IF YOU SMELL GAS, turn all control knobs to OFF - check the precautions listed in the SAFETY

section of this manual.

FLAME HEIGHTFLAME HEIGHT

Proper flame height depends on the size of the pan being used, and the amount of food or liquid

in the pan. In other words, don’t use a small pan over a large flame. For safety reasons, control the

flame height so that it doesn’t go beyond, or curl up the sides of your pot or pan. This behavior

results in poor heating of the contents of the pan, burnt food on the sides of the pan, wasted fuel,

etc.

Use a low or medium flame on items that heat slowly, such as glass-ceramic pots.

FLAME CHARACTERISTICSFLAME CHARACTERISTICS

Light blue flame - Natural gas normal flame

Light blue flame with yellow tips - LP gas normal flame

Yellow flame - Needs adjustment

If the flame is mostly or completely yellow, check the position of the burner heads again for proper

installation, and/or review the FINAL SETUP section of the installation manual for more details.

COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONSCOOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS

As previously stated in PROPER USAGE on page7, bakeware such as large casserole pans, cookie

sheets, etc. should not be used on the surface burners. Large griddle plates that span across 2 burners

should be used with care and on medium to low flame settings to avoid a build-up of heat which

could distort the grates or the burner bowl.

Large stock pots should be staggered when used on the rangetop (see below).

Do not cook on aluminum foil or thin, disposable aluminum pans. These can melt.

Never let a pot boil dry. If left too long, the pan could melt, or damage the appliance.

Use only high-quality pans with metal handles. Some plastic handles could melt from the intense

heat of the burners.

USING THE GRIDDLE

(SOME MODELS)

GRIDDLE CONTROL KNOBGRIDDLE CONTROL KNOB

The griddle provides a temperature range of 120°F - MAX (approx. 500°F) [49 - 260°C]. Push and

turn RIGHT (clockwise) to select the desired temperature for the food you are cooking. A constant

orange glow will be seen at the rear vents of the griddle. This is normal.

To avoid injury DO NOT operate the griddle without the griddle plate and grease tray in place.

Always remove the cover before use.

CAUTION

The griddle is very hot after use. Allow sufficient time to cool down before cleaning.

DO NOT use metal utensils (pots, pans, etc.) on the griddle plate surface. Be careful not to gouge or

cause deep scratches in the griddle plate surface. DO NOT cut directly on the griddle plate.

FIRST TIME OPERATIONFIRST TIME OPERATION

Before using your griddle for the first time, the griddle plate and the grease tray should be cleaned

with warm, soapy water and thoroughly rinsed and dried. When you first heat the plate, a little

smoke and some odor may be present as any remaining manufacturing oils are burned off. The

stainless-steel plate will discolor from a straw color, to a very dark brown or black, depending on

what foods you cook on the surface.

COOKING ON THE GRIDDLECOOKING ON THE GRIDDLE

When it comes to using the griddle, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• As time goes on and griddle use increases, discoloration of the griddle plate may happen and is

normal.

• When emptying the grease tray, be sure to pour the grease into a proper container for grease

disposal, not down the drain. Do not scrape with metal utensils.

It will take some practice to get to know how your griddle performs with certain foods. The table

below gives a few recommendations on temperatures.
