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:
a.
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.
b.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c.
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d.
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:
a.
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.
b.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
c.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d.
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.

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
6
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.

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:
1.
Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2.
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.

16
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.
17
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
stew, etc.)
Note: : When melting chocolate or
butter, use smallest burner with OPTI-
SIM™ feature for best results.
Low
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.
