9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE

LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE.

INSTALLER: LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE

UNIT FOR THE OWNER.

OWNER: PLEASE RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR

FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING

When properly cared for, your new appliance has been

designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions

carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the

risk of burns, electric shock, fire and injury to persons.

When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions

must be followed including those in the following pages.

Fire Safety

Save these instructions.

Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend

beyond the bottom of the pan.

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to

come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or

grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan,

be certain that flammable materials such as window

coverings do not blow over or near the burners or

elements. They could catch on fire.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may

ignite.

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. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries

Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

Clean ventilating fans 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 surface element.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,

drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires

with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air

vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond

the edges of the pan.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,

highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

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 metal tray, then turn off the burner. 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 dishcloths 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.

During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be

lit manually.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system

during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire

to turn it off.

Gas Safety

To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block

appliance air vents.

Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve

is located.

For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and

dry.

If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows

and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the

appliance.

WARNING

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do

not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job

of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly

tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint

smell. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the unit and

contact an authorized service technician to diagnose the

issue. See Warning, ~ "Gas Appliance Safety"

on page 3

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly

positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in

use. Each of the feet must be placed into the

corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a

grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.

Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting

performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean

these when there is a boilover or when the burner does

not light even though the electronic igniters click.

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all

burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.

WARNING

Do not clean or touch any of the burners when an extra

low burner (if equipped) is in use. When the extra low

burner automatically reignites the ignitor at the burner will

spark.

WARNING

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described

in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space

heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in

carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the

appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR

UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are

dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not

touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable

materials contact surface units or areas near units until

they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas

are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up

of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause

injury.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when

flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,

Peppercorn Beef Flambe).

Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when

necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil

slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is

capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.

Wait until it is cool.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie

long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear

loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,

scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance,

it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to

ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by

qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on

any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming

drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the

appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing

severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely

supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be

left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance

is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its

vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an

appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the

backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach

items could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe

Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the

Governor of California to publish a list of substances

known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposure to such substances. The

burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil

during self-cleaning can generate some by-products

which are on the list. To minimize exposure to these

substances, always operate this unit according to the

instructions contained in this booklet and provide good

ventilation.

WARNING

The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small

amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene, Formaldehyde

and Soot. To minimize exposure to these substances the

burners should be adjusted by a certified installer or

agency to ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper

ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation fan

or hood when cooking with gas. Always operate the unit

according to the instructions in this manual.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the

cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner

ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some

cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot

surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from

steam.

Cookware Safety

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food.

This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.

Use Proper Pan Size.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of

the heating element or burner to direct contact and may

result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat

bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit.

This appliance is equipped with one or more surface

units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to

heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.

Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not

extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of

the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and

burns.

Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend

beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of

cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.

Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic,

earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are suitable for

cooktop use.

Proper Installation and Maintenance

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit

breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

This appliance must be properly installed and grounded

by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly

grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for

details.

This appliance is intended for normal family household

use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the

Statement of Limited Product Warranty. If you have any

questions, contact the manufacturer.

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

in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and

could result in injury.

WARNING

Failure to operate knobs properly may result in personal

injury and damage to the appliance.

This appliance is not intended for operation with an

external time switch or external remote control.

Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly,

State of California Proposition 65

Warning:

WARNING

This product can expose you to chemicals including vinyl

chloride, which is known to the State of California to

cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive

harm. For more information go to

www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Note: IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe

Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the

Governor of California to publish a list of substances

known to the state to cause cancer, birth defect or other

reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposure to such substances. The

burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil

during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of

carbon monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in Self Clean

ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde

during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists

formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon

monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.

Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:

Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.

Operating the unit according to the instructions in this

manual.

Sealed burners

Your new cooktop has sealed gas burners. There are no

burner parts under the cooktop to clean, disassemble or

adjust. Your cooktop has three different burner sizes:

small, medium, and large.

Burner Cap and Burner Base Placement

9 WARNING

To prevent flare-ups, do not use the cooktop without

all burner caps and all burner grates properly

positioned.

9 WARNING

To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or

grates while hot. Turn the cooktop off and allow the

burners to cool.

The burner caps must be properly placed for the cooktop

to function properly. If the burner cap is not properly

placed, one or more of the following problems may

occur:

▯ Burner flames are too high.

▯ Flames shoot out of burners.

▯ Stainless steel discolors.

▯ Burners do not ignite.

▯ Burner flames light unevenly.

▯ Burner emits gas odor.

Burner Cap and Burner Base Placement

▯ After electrical connection is complete, place each

burner base on the corresponding location on the

cooktop. One of the three bars on the burner base

should line up with the notch and prevent the base

from rotating. The small hole or cutout near the edge

should also line up with the igniter. Pay special

attention to avoid damaging the igniter during

installation of the base. See Illustration below.

▯ Once each base is located and resting evenly, place

each burner cap on its correct burner base. See

Illustration.

▯ Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the

prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of

the burner cap.

▯ If the maintop is removed by a certified installer (for

example to check electrical or piping connection) the

panhead screws that were removed must be re-

installed to ensure proper functionality of burners.

Placing Burner Caps and Bases

Checking Burner Cap Placement

▯ Check to make sure that there is no gap between the

burner cap and burner base. See illustration below for

correct and incorrect placements of the burner cap.

▯ You may gently try to move the burner cap from side

to side to check if it is properly placed. If properly

placed, the cap will click from side to side as the

prongs hit the groove ridge.

Checking Burner Cap Placement

Burner “ON” light

An “On” light is located on the cooktop. When

illuminated, it indicates at least one burner is in use (no

light on the 500 Series).

Install Burner Grates

Properly position and install each burner grate as shown

in the illustration below.

30” 4 Burner

30” 5 Burner

36” 5 Burner

9 WARNING

To prevent flare-ups, properly support pots and

avoid spills, all grates must be properly positioned

on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in use.

Each of the four feet must be placed into the

corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a

grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.

For replacement of rubber feet: Call Customer Support

indicator line at the OFF position. Press down firmly.

Operation

About the Appliance

Use the cooktop for surface cooking applications such

as boiling, frying, simmering, steaming and sautéing.

9 WARNING

The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small

amounts of carbon monoxide, benzene,

formaldehyde and soot. To minimize exposure to

these substances, the burners should be adjusted

by a certified installer or authorized servicer to

ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper

ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation

fan or hood when cooking with Gas. Always operate

the unit according to the instructions in this manual.

Normal Operation - Electronic Ignition/Reignition

The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners.

There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter. If a

burner flame blows out during use, the burner will

automatically reignite.

9 CAUTION

To avoid possible injury or damage to the

appliance, ensure grates are installed exactly per

installation instructions and not backwards or

upside down.

The igniter should be clean and dry for proper operation.

▯ Avoid getting water or food on the igniter.

▯ If the igniter is wet or soiled, it may spark without

igniting the burner, or even spark continuously when a

flame is present.

Note: If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn

the burner off. Check to see that the burner cap is

positioned correctly on the burner base and the igniter is

clean and dry. If a burner still fails to ignite, see “Before

Calling for Service”.

When a flame is present and a Low setting is used, the

igniter may occasionally spark. This is normal.

9 CAUTION

To avoid possible injury or damage to the

appliance, ensure grates are installed exactly per

installation instructions and not backwards or

upside down.

Typical Flame Characteristics

The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with

no yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It should

burn completely around the burner cap.

Checking Flame Characteristics:

▯ If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that

the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After

adjustment, retest.

▯ Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-

up. Allow unit to operate 4 to 5 minutes and re-

evaluate before making adjustments.

▯ Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange

flame during initial use. This should disappear with

use. Check burner to make sure port holes are not

obstructed. If the ports are clogged. ~ "Before

Calling for Service" on page 21

Note: An audible “pop” may be heard when the burner

is turned off manually. The “popping” may be louder with

LP gas than with natural gas. This is normal.

Getting the most out of your appliance

Cooking suggestions for best results

▯ Boil water in covered pot on High using largest burner

for best results. If water boils over, turn to a lower

setting.

▯ When melting chocolate or butter, use smallest burner

with OPTISIM™ feature for best results.

▯ When simmering, bring food to a boil first. Stir well to

be sure all the food is boiling, then cover and reduce

the flame to the desired setting to simmer.

▯ There should be steam and slight quivering of the

liquid’s surface while simmering.

▯ Use a lid to keep a more constant cooking

temperature and heat food faster.

▯ Check the food occasionally to see if the control knob

should be turned to a lower or higher setting.

▯ It is normal to stir food occasionally.

Yellow flames:

Further adjustment is required.

Yellow tips on outer cones:

Normal for LP Gas.

Soft blue flames:

Normal for Natural Gas.

▯ Center the pan over the burner before turning the

burner on.

▯ Use proper cookware. ~ "Proper Cookware"

on page 17

▯ Refer to the settings recommendations in the following

chart for suggested settings.

Settings recommendations

Proper Cookware

▯ Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat

evenly.

▯ Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may

cook unevenly.

▯ Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks

more evenly at low-to-medium settings.

▯ Flat heavy bottom pans provide even heat and

stability.

▯ DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or

ridged as they heat unevenly.

Choosing Suitable Cookware

Specialty cookware

▯ Pans that span 2 burners, i.e. griddles, roasters and

fish poachers, may be used when placed front to

back. Adjust flame equally to cook evenly.

▯ Use a Wok with a flat bottom.

▯ Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same

requirements as described above. After bringing

contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to

maintain a boil or pressure (for pressure canners/

cookers).

Uses Heat setting

Boiling (i.e. water, stock, etc.) High

Pan frying, sautéing, browning meat,

deep frying

Medium High

Shallow frying, eggs, pancakes,

bacon

Medium

Steaming, braising Medium Low

Melting chocolate, melting butter, sim-

mering sauces, soups and stews (i.e.

tomato sauce, alfredo sauce, beef

Cookware Recommendations

Pan Bottom Diameter

▯ The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the

pan or smaller.

▯ Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the

flames can lick up the sides of the pan.

▯ Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to

back, not side to side.

▯ For best cooking results, large pans should not extend

over the sides of the grates.

Use Balanced Pans

▯ Balance is important for stability and even cooking.

▯ Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking

or wobbling.

▯ Center pan over burner.

Proper Fitting Lid

▯ A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.

▯ For best cooking results, always use a lid when boiling

water.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning

The entire cooktop can be safely cleaned by wiping with

a soapy sponge, then rinsing and drying. If stubborn soil

remains, follow the recommended cleaning methods

below.

Cleaning recommendations:

▯ Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job.

Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.

▯ Rub stainless steel finishes in the direction of the

grain. Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.

▯ Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off

and the grates and burners are cool.

▯ Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any self

cleaning oven or dishwasher.

▯ After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions

before using cooktop.

▯ For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean

and dry.

▯ Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting

performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean

these when there is a boilover or when the burner

does not light even though the electronic igniters click.

▯ Do not use flammable cleansers such as lighter fluid.

9 CAUTION

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned

on. Do not touch any of the burners when the

cooktop is in use.
