General safety
WARNING
To eliminate risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage located above the
surface units should be avoided.
WARNING
This unit is designed as a cooking appliance. Based on
safety considerations, never use it for warming or heating
a room.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet,
or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the
electric element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the
flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call
the fire department.
Never pick up a flaming pan — You may be burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels — a violent steam explosion will result.
Use an extinguisher only if:
You know you have a class ABC extinguisher and
you already know how to operate it.
The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
The fire department is being called.
You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium
settings.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
Clean hood filters frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the burner.
NEVER use any part of the appliance for storage.
Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic items
may melt or ignite. DO NOT hang articles from any
part of the appliance. Some fabrics are quite
flammable and may catch on fire.
Page. 7
9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
If the appliance is near a window, be certain the curtains
do not blow over or near the appliance burners; they
could catch on fire.
ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available nearby,
highly visible, and easily accessible near the cooking
appliance.
Smother flames from food fires, other than grease fires,
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a fire. However, DO NOT reach through fire to turn
it off.
NEVER let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials come in contact with or too close to any burner
or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and
result in personal injury.
Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may cause burns from steam. DO NOT use a
towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. DO NOT
let potholders touch hot burners or burner grates.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting
garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while
using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly
flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
DO NOT use aluminum foil to line any part of the
appliance. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire
hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat
will be trapped beneath it. This will impact the cooking
performance and can damage the finish of the appliance.
WARNING
The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety
considerations, never use the appliance to warm or heat a
room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning
and overheating of the unit. Also, such use can damage
the appliance parts.
When using the appliance: DO NOT TOUCH THE
BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING
AREA. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot
enough to cause burns.
Never leave the appliance unattended when using high
flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Also, if the burner flames and
igniter are smothered with spillage, unburned gas will
escape into the room. See
page 4 regarding gas leaks.
Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are
suitable for cooking on the burners. This type of cookware
may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on
low or medium heat settings according to the utensil
manufacturer’s directions.
DO NOT heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
WARNING
During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame
heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. This instruction is based on
safety considerations.
Use caution to ensure that drafts like those from forced air
vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the
flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the
edges of the pot.
Always use pots and pans that have flat bottoms large
enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized pots
and pans could expose a portion of the flame and may
result in ignition of clothing.
WARNING
Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the
grate or with one that spans more than one burner, such
as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can result
in poor combustion that generates harmful by-products.
DO NOT use pots or pans on the griddle/grill plate
accessory (purchased separately). Bakeware, such as large
casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc., should never be used
on the griddle/grill plate accessory.
DO NOT use flammable cleaners to clean the appliance.
Remove the optional cutting board or griddle/grill cover
accessory, which is stored on top of the griddle/grill plate,
before operating the griddle/grill or any adjacent burners.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect. Clean after each use.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep
t
he igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean the ports
when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light
even though the electronic igniters activate.
Clean the appliance with caution. Avoid steam burns; DO
NO
T use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the appliance
while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the
cleaner manufacturer.
WARNING
After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and using
caution due to possible hot surfaces, clean around the
burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper
operation.
WARNING
DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of air
through the ventilation openings. The vent is
locate
d at the back of the appliance. The
vent needs to be unobstructed and open to
provide necessary airflow that is important
for proper performance.
DO NOT touch ven
t area while the appliance is on and for
several minutes after the appliance is off. Some parts of
the vent and surrounding areas become hot enough to
cause burns. Allow appliance sufficient time to cool before
touching or cleaning vent areas.
DO NOT position plastic
or other heat-sensitive items on
or near the vent. These items could melt or ignite.
To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be
prevented by frequently cleaning the appliance.
In case of fire or when intentionally
“flaming” liquor or
other spirits on the rangetop, follow manufacturer’s
instructions. Use caution when cooking foods with high
alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon). Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning
as the alcohol vapors may catch fire. Use only small
quantities of alcohol in foods.
Be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool
be
fore using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the
appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action
could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts
to corrode.
DO NOT obstruct the flow
of combustion or ventilation
air.
Service should only be done
by authorized service
providers. Service providers must disconnect the power
supply before servicing this unit.
DO NOT
use the grill plate accessory for cooking
excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-
ups.
When cooking fatty or oily foods on burners,
the grill, or
the griddle, adjacent gas burners can ignite airborne
fumes. Use caution to avoid burns.
DO NOT
store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables, or nonfood products in or near this appliance.
It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking
food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or
cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in
injury.
WARNING
This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation
system that directs air in a downward direction toward the
range. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition
and combustion problems with the appliance resulting in
personal injury, property damage, or unintended
operation. Ventilating systems that direct the air upwards
do not have any restriction.
An air curtain or other over
head range hood, which
operates by blowing a downward airflow onto a range,
shall not be used in conjunction with a gas range unless
the hood and range have been designed and tested in
accordance with the Standard for Domestic Gas Ranges,
ANSI Z21.1 • CSA 1.1, and listed by an independent
testing laboratory for combination use.
IMPORTANT: There is a possibility to discolor the back
wall under certain cooking conditions.

additional range after the
XLO setting. When the knob
is set within this range, the
flame cycles off and on.
By varying the length of time the flame is off and on, the
he
at is reduced even further to cook delicate foods. For
example, these very low settings are suitable for
simmering and poaching, melting chocolate and butter,
holding cooked foods at temperatures without scorching
or burning, etc.
Operation of the ExtraLow
®
burners
XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling
th
e flame on for approximately 10 seconds and off for
50 seconds of each minute.
When the knob is set just below the XLO setting, the
flame
will cycle on for approximately 50 seconds and
off for 10 seconds of each minute.
To vary the amount of low heat to suit the food and
qu
antity, the control can be set anywhere within the
XLO range marked on the knob.
ExtraLow
®
techniques
To maintain a low or simmer heat, bring food to a
rolling boil.
Stir well, then cover the pan and lower the
heat to a setting just below XLO.
If a large pan is used, the simmer action may occur
m
ainly in the center of the pan. To equalize the
temperature throughout the food, stir the food
around the outer edges of the pan into the food in the
center.
It is normal to stir food occasionally while simmering.
This is
especially important when simmering for
several hours, such as for a homemade spaghetti
sauce or beans.
If the setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the
f
ood back to a boil before re-setting to a higher heat.
Automatic re-ignition
9 CAUTION
DO NOT touch the burners when the igniters are
sparking.
Each burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks
when the burner is turned on. Each burner should light in
four seconds or less. If a burner does not light, check to
see that the cap is positioned correctly on the base.
If any one or more burners blow out, the electronic igniter
a
utomatically activates to re-light the flame. Do not touch
the burners when the igniters are active.
IMPORTANT
For proper combustion do not use the rangetop
withou
t the burner grates in place.
There is a slight sound associated with gas
combustion and ignition. This is a normal
condition.
On rangetops using propane gas (LP), a slight “pop”
soun
d may be heard at the burner ports a few seconds
after the burner has been turned off.

Power failure
9 WARNING
In the event of a power failure, turn all knobs to the
OFF position. Only the standard burners can be lit
manually.
In the event of a power failure, only the standard
burners can be manually lit. It is necessary to light
each one individually.
If the rangetop is being used when the power failure
occurs,
turn all knobs to the OFF position.
The standard burners can be lit by holding a match at
th
e ports and turning the control knob to the HI
position. Wait until the flame is burning all around the
burner cap before adjusting the flame to the desired
height.
The burners with the ExtraLow
®
feature cannot be
used during a power failure. Be sure to turn them off.
If a burner with ExtraLow is on when a power failure
occu
rs, it cannot be turned back on until the knob is
first turned off.
If you smell gas, refer to safety precautions listed in
t
he Safety chapter.
Flame height
The correct flame height depends on 1) size and
material of pan being used; 2) food being cooked; and
3) amount of liquid in the pan.
Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.
Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that
con
duct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated
steel or glass-ceramic.
Flame description
Yellow flames:
Further adjustment is
re
quired.
Yellow tips on outer cones:
Normal for LP Gas
Soft blue flames:
Normal for natural gas
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that
the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After
adjustment, retest.
Some orange-colored streakin
g is normal during the
initial start-up.
The burner flame color should be blue with no yellow
on t
he tips. It is not uncommon to see orange in the
flame color; this indicates the burning of airborne
impurities in the gas and will disappear with use.
With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow
tips on the
primary cone are normal.
The flame should burn completely around the burner
ca
p. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned
correctly on the base and that the ports are not
blocked.
The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or
flu
ttering.

Cookware recommendations
9 WARNING
To avoid risk of serious injury, damage to appliance or
cookware, please observe the following:
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets,
etc. should never be used on the rangetop.
Placement of large stock pots should be staggered
wh
en used on the rangetop.
Select the base diameter to match the diameter of the
flame. The diameter of the flame should be the same
size as the pan base or slightly smaller. Oversize or
under size pans sacrifice cooking performance. A 5½''
(140 mm) base size is generally the smallest
recommended.
Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than
t
he grate or with one that spans more than one
burner, such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of
time. This can result in poor combustion that
generates harmful by-products.
Balance is important for stability and even
cooking.
The handle must not be heavier than the pan and tilt it
unevenly. A pan must sit level on the grate without
rocking or wobbling.
Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed
directly on the burner grate. Aluminum foil can melt
during cooking.
DO N
OT let plastic, paper, or cloth come in contact
with a hot burner grate. They may melt or catch fire.
Professional quality pans with metal handles are
re
commended because plastic handles can melt or
blister if the flame extends up the side of the pan.
All cookware should have the
se characteristics: good
heat conductivity, good balance, correctly sized base
diameter, a heavy, flat base, and a proper fitting lid.
For best cooking results, th
e flame should be
contained under the bottom of the pan.
Aluminum and copper are pan materials that conduct
th
e heat quickly and evenly. These metals are
sometimes attached to the base or in the core
between stainless steel.
A heavy, flat base is more apt to remain flat when
he
ated. Pan bases that are warped, dented, ridged or
too lightweight will heat unevenly. Heat and cool pans
gradually to avoid sudden temperature changes which
tend to distort cookware. DO NOT add cold water to
a hot pan.
A properly fitting lid will shorten cooking time and
make it possible to use lower heat settings.

Specialty cookware
Woks
Either flat-based or round-bottom woks with the
accessory ring can be used on all models. Round
bottom woks must be used with a support ring.
The wok pan and the porcelain-coated cast iron wok
support ring must be purchased separately.
Canners and stock pots
Select one with a base diameter that extends no more
than 2'' (51 mm) beyond the grate.
Standard size water bath canner
21 to 22 quarts (19.95 to 20.9 liters), with an 11'' to
12'' base (279 – 305 mm) and a 9'' to 11'' depth
(229 – 279 mm).
Standard size pressure canner
8 to 22 quarts (7.6 to 20.9 liters), with an 8'' to 11''
base (203 – 279 mm) and a 6½'' to 12'' depth
(165 – 305 mm).
Canning tips
A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave,
convex or rippled base.
When using two canners at the same time, use
staggered burners. DO NOT block air to the burners.
A flame needs the right amount of air for complete
combustion.
Use a cover on the canner when bringing the contents
to a boil.
Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the
lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.
Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take
precautions to prevent burns.
Suggestions for using the surface burner
cooking recommendations
Use the chart beginning on page 18 as a guide. The
settings you use will vary depending on the pans
selected and the starting temperature of the food.
On the chart, the “Finish setting” has been separated
for the standard and ExtraLow
®
burners. There may or
may not be a change between the two burner
settings.
The ExtraLow setting can be either a cooking or a
holding setting.
Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time
for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.
