USING THE COOKTOP:6XUIDFH%XUQHUV

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

How to Light a Gas Surface Burner

WARNING Burners should be operated only

when covered by cookware. Burner flames not

covered by cookware present a risk of fire or

clothing ignition. Never let flames extend beyond the

sides of the cookware. Failure to comply may result

in serious injury.

You will hear a little clicking noise—the sound of the

electric spark igniting the burner.

Turn the knob to adjust the flame size. If the knob stays

at LITE, it will continue to click.

When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners

burner is on. An electric

shock may result, which could

cause you to knock over hot

cookware.

If the burner has not been used

recently, the flames may make

after 4 to 5 minutes.

delicate foods, such as sauces or foods which need to

cook over low heat for a long time. It can be turned down

to a very low simmer setting.

The other burners, particularly the right front position, are

higher powered and will bring liquids to a boil quicker,

especially with the use of a lid.

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface

burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lit match

to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to

the LITESRVLWLRQ8VHH[WUHPHFDXWLRQZKHQOLJKWLQJ

burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure

occurs will continue to operate normally.

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE VENTILATION

SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.

How to Select Flame Size

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames

H[WHQGXSWKHVLGHVRIWKHFRRNZDUH

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The

flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware

you are using.

Any flame larger than

the bottom of the

cookware is wasted

and only serves to

heat the handle.

because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown

fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating

properties and is usually combined with copper,

aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution.

Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if

they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer

recommends.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give

satisfactory results.

Enamelware:8QGHUVRPHFRQGLWLRQVWKHHQDPHORIVRPH

cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s

recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those

for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking

very slowly.

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.

Removing your Cookware from the Cooktop

When removing hot cookware from the burner, be sure

to lift it high enough to not come in contact with your

control knobs. Hot cookware coming into contact with the

control knobs could cause damage, such as melting or

warping.

Wok This Way

We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed wok,

available at your local retail store.

How to Operate the Downdraft Vent System

The built-in vent system helps remove cooking vapors,

odors and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.

Turn the vent fan speed control knob to HI, MED or LO,

as needed.

Continuous use of the vent system while cooking helps

keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid, reducing

cooking odors and soiling moisture that normally creates

a frequent need for cleaning.

The appearance of the burner flames may be affected

when the vent fan is operating. At the high fan speed

setting, it is normal for the nearby burner flames to be

drawn toward the vent grille. If cooking performance is

affected, use a lower fan speed setting.

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE VENTILATION

SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
