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.
High Altitude Installation
Contact Customer Service for use at altitudes above
2,000 feet (610 meters).
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 4
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.
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.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not remove grommets or white rings as they will
require Customer Service to refit and the cooktop must
not be used without all parts fitted correctly.
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 sizes. Proper relationship of cookware to
heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.
Inspect your cookware for damage or excessive wear
before using it.
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.

Causes of Damage
NOTICES
RISK OF HEAT DAMAGE TO ADJACENT
APPLIANCES OR KITCHEN UNITS:
If the appliance is in operation for an extended period,
heat and moisture will be generated. Additional
ventilation is required. Open the window or switch on
an extractor hood that discharges the extracted air
and moisture outside the building.
RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE DUE TO THE
BUILD-UP OF HEAT:
Do not heat roasters, frying pans or grill stones using
more than one burner at a time.
OPERATIONAL FAULT:
Always turn the control knob to the "Off" position when
the appliance is not being used.
Environmental protection
Environmental protecti on
The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips
and provide information on disposing of your appliance.
The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured
using only the materials which are strictly necessary to
provide efficient protection during transport. These
materials are 100% recyclable, thus reducing the
environmental impact. You can also contribute to caring
for the environment by following the advice below:
Dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling
bin.
Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you
disable it. Contact your local authority to find out the
address of your nearest recycling centre to dispose of
your appliance.
Do not pour used oil down the sink. Collect it in a
sealed container and take it to an appropriate
collection point or, failing that, place it in the rubbish
bin (it will end up in a controlled dump; this is probably
not the best option, but it will avoid contaminating
ground water).
Saving energy
Choose a burner of roughly the same size as your
pan. Place the cookware in the middle.
Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,
less full saucepan requires more energy.
Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy. Use
a glass lid so that you can see into the pan without
having to lift the lid.
Cook with a small amount of water. That saves energy.
Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
Switch to a lower heat setting when possible. As a
result, you save energy.
9
Getting Started
Note: Depending on the appliance model, individual
details and colors may differ.
Before Using the Appliance for
the First Time
Remove all packing materials and literature from the
cooktop surface.
Wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.
There may be a slight odor during the first several
uses. This is normal and will disappear.
Optimum cooking results depend on the proper
cookware being selected and used. See “Proper
Cookware”.

Operation
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.
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.
In Case of a Power Failure
1.
In the event of a power failure, the burners may be lit
with a match. Press the control knob for the selected
burner and turn it counterclockwise to the highest
power setting.
2.
Hold a lit lighter or a match against the burner.
Electronic Ignition
The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners.
There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter.
1.
Press the control knob for the selected burner and turn
it counterclockwise to the symbol .
Sparks are produced on all burners while you are
pressing and holding the control knob. The burner
ignites.
2.
Release the control knob.
3.
Turn the control knob to the required position.
If the burner does not ignite, turn it off and repeat the
steps described above. This time, hold the control knob
down longer (up to 10 seconds).
9 WARNING
If the burner does not turn on after 15 seconds, turn
off the control knob and open the door or window in
the room. Wait at least a minute before igniting the
burner again.
Note: It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the
igniters are dirty, this may cause ignition issues. Clean
the igniters regularly with a small non-metallic brush.
Take care to prevent the igniters from suffering any
heavy impacts.
Flame Failure Safety System
Your cooktop is equipped with a safety system
(thermocouple) that cuts off the gas when the burners
are accidentally turned off.
To ensure that this device is active:
1.
Turn on the burner as usual.
2.
Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
down firmly for 4seconds after lighting the flame.
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 4to 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 20
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.
Turning off a burner
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the
“off” position.
9 WARNING
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, turn
the control knob of the burner to the “off” position
and do not try to relight it for at least 1minute.
Yellow flames:
Further adjustment is required.
Yellow tips on outer cones:
Normal for LP Gas.
Soft blue flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.
13
General Notes
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner
is operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odors. This does not pose any risk and does not indicate
a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-colored flame is normal. This is caused by the
presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilled liquids, etc.
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance
Suitable cookware
The cookware must not overhang the edge of the
cooktop.
Cookware Recommendations
Note: When using certain pots or pans, a slight and
temporary deformation of the steel cooking surface may
occur. This is normal and does not affect the functionality
of the appliance.
The following recommendations can help you save
energy and avoid damaging your cookware:
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.
Cooking Times Chart
The table below lists the optimal heat settings and
cooking times for various types of food. The information
given applies when cooking four portions.
The cooking times and heat settings may vary depending
on the type of food, its weight and quality, on the type of
gas used, and on the material from which the cookware
is made. To prepare this dish, stainless steel cookware
was mainly used.
Always use cookware that is the right size and place it in
the center of the burner. You can find information about
the diameter of the cookware under ~ "Suitable
cookware"
How to use the charts
Each type of food can be prepared in one or two steps.
Each step contains information about the following:

Use the right size pans for
each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame
should not touch the sides
of the pan.
Do not use damaged pans
that do not sit evenly on
the cooktop. Pans may tip
over.
Only use pans with a thick,
flat base.
Do not cook without a lid
and make sure the lid is
properly placed to avoid
wasting energy.
Always make sure the pan
is well-centered on the
burner, otherwise it could
tip over.
Do not place large pans on
the burners near the
control knobs. These may
be damaged by the very
high temperatures.
Place the pans on the
burner grates, never
directly on the burner.
Make sure that the burner
grates and burner caps are
correctly placed before
using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on
the cooktop carefully.
Do not strike or place
excessive weight on the
cooktop.

Cooking tips
Use a pressure cooker to cook creamy soups and
legumes. This significantly reduces the cooking time. If
you are using a pressure cooker, follow the
manufacturer's instructions. Add all of the ingredients
at the start.
Always use a lid when cooking potatoes and rice. This
significantly reduces the cooking time. The water must
be boiling before you add pasta, rice or potatoes.
Then adjust the heat setting to continue boiling.
For pan-cooked dishes, heat the oil up first. As soon
as you have started the frying, keep the pan at a
constant temperature by adjusting the heating setting
as required. When preparing several portions, wait
until the relevant temperature has been reached again.
Turn the food regularly.
When cooking soups, cream, lentils or chickpeas, add
all of the ingredients to the cookware at the same time.

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.
Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp
utensils, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food
from the cooktop.
Do not use knives, scrapers or similar utensils to clean
the point where the glass meets the burner trims, the
metal frames or the glass/aluminum panels, if fitted.
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.
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.

Maintenance
Never slide pans across the glass surface, as you may
scratch it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp
objects on the glass. Never strike any part of the
cooktop.
Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and
vegtables will scratch the glass surface.
The appliance requires only regular cleaning for proper
operation. No other maintenance is required.
For detailed instructions see ~ "Cleaning and
Maintenance" on page 18
Control knobs and grom-
mets
Nonabrasive Cleaner: Dish soap and
hot water.
Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
NOTICE: Do not remove the control knobs
when cleaning the appliance. The appli-
ance may be damaged if moisture finds its
way inside.
Do not soak knobs or grommets.
Do not use abrasive scrubbers or clean-
ers, such as Bon Ami®, Ajax®, or
Comet®. They may permanently dam-
age the finish or remove graphics.
9 WARNING
Do not remove grommets or white
rings as they will require Customer
Service to refit and the cooktop must
not be used without all parts fitted
correctly.
Grates and grate bridge /
porcelain enamel on cast
iron
Nonabrasive cleaners: Hot water and
detergent, Fantastic
®
, Formula 409
®
.
Rinse and dry immediately.
Mild Abrasive Cleaners: Bon Ami
®
and
Soft Scrub

Stubborn Stains: Use soap-filled steel
wool pads.
You may also clean the burner grates in
the dishwasher. Remove any burnt-on
food prior to placing the burner grates
in the dishwasher. Place them on the
lowest rack of dishwasher and use the
dishwasher manufacturer’s recom-
mended detergent.
The grates are heavy; use care when lift-
ing. Place on a protected surface for
cleaning.
Blisters/ crazing/ chips are common
due to the extreme temperatures on
grate fingers and rapid temperature
changes.
Acidic and sugar-laden spills deteriorate
the enamel. Remove soil immediately
after unit has cooled enough to touch.
Abrasive cleaners, used too vigorously
or too often can eventually mar the
enamel.
Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.
Igniters / ceramic Carefully wipe with a cotton swab damp-
ened with water, ammonia or Formula
409
®
.
Gently scrape soil off with a toothpick.
Avoid excess water on the igniter. A
damp igniter will prevent burner from
lighting.
Remove any lint that may remain after
cleaning.
Glass surfaces Nonabrasive Cleaner: Dish soap and
hot water.
Rinse and dry immediately.
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it
is spilt. This will prevent food remains
from sticking to the cooktop surface and
you will save yourself any unnecessary
effort.
Melted sugar, or foods which contain a
lot of sugar which may have spilt,
should be cleaned off the cooking zone
immediately, using the glass scraper.
Avoid abrasive cleaners such as metal
scouring pads, scrub sponges, soap-
filled scouring pads and powder clean-
ers.
