breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

• User Servicing--Do not repair or replace any part of the

appliance unless specifically recommended inthe manuals. All

other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This

may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the cooktop.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a cooktop by

removi ng pa nels, wire covers, or any other part of the prod uct.

Stepping or leaning on this cooktop can result

in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the cooktop. Do

not allow children to climb or play around the cooktop.

• Storage on Appliance--Flammable materials should not be

stored on the cooktop, near surface burners. This includes

paper, plastic and cloth items, such ascookbooks, plasticware and

towels, aswell as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such

asaerosol cans, on the cooktop. Flammable materials mayexplode

and result in fire or property damage.

r__=_J_ Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above the cooktop.

• Do not leave children alone--Children should not be left alone

or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. They

should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, GRATES, OR AREAS

NEARTHESE BURNERS. Surface burners may be hot eventhough

the flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners may become

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

let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until

they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the

cooktop and the surfaces facing the cooktop.

• Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let

clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Never use your appliance for warming or

heating the room.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother the fire

with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type

extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may

catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

UseOnly Dry Pot holders--Moist or damp pot holders on hot

surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot

holders touch the flame or burners. Do not use a towel or other

bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.

Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of pressure

may cause container to burst and result in injury.

Know which knob controls each surface burner. Always turn the

knob to the LITEposition when igniting the burners. Visually check

that the burner has lit. Then adjust the flame soit does not extend

beyond the edge of the utensil.

Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of

undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of

utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas

burners. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will

cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon

monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be

hazardous to your health.

Use proper pan size--This appliance is equipped with one or

more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having flat

bottom large enough to cover the surface burner. The use of

undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface burner to

direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper

relationship of utensil to the surface burner will also improve

efficiency.

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Burners--To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional

contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be

positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over

adjacent surface burners.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat

Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface

burner pans. Protective liners or aluminum foil may interfere with

heat and air distribution, and combustion. Damage to the

cooktop or personal injury may result.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for cooktop servicewithout breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cooktop use.

Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a burner is

accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and

possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner is on.

Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also

be done to the cooktop or burners becausethe covers may cause

overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause

combustion problems.

GLASS COOKTOPS (somemodels):

• Do Not Operate or Clean a Broken Cooktop Glass--if glasstop

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the

broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a

qualified technician immediately.

Clean Cooktop Glass with Caution--If awet sponge or cloth is

usedtowipe spillson ahot cooking area, be carefulto avoid asteam

burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to ahot

surface.

• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on the Cooktop Glass. This could

cause glass to break.

= Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

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.

Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) Gas Conversion

Severe shock or damage to the cooktop may occur if the cooktop is not installed by a qualified installer or

electrician.

This appliance can be usedwith Natural Gasand Propane Gas. It isshipped from the factory for usewith natural gas.

If you wish to convert your cooktop for usewith Liquefied Petroleum (propane) gas:

Models with Venturi (open) Burners, seethe installation instructions guide for the conversion instructions.

Models with Sealed Burners:

- Forsome of them, you should order the conversion kit from your local dealer or from an authorized serviceagency (see

Warranty). Seethe installation instructions for the conversion kit number.

- Forothers, the conversion kit isincluded in the packaging, ifyou wish to convert your cooktop for usewith propane gas,

usethe supplied fixed orifices located in the package containing the installation instruction, in a bag marked "FOR LP/

PROPANEGAS CONVERSION". Follow the instructions packaged with the orifices (for models with sealed burners only).

Theconversion must be performed bya qualified servicetechnician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all codes

and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow the instructions could result in serious injury or property

damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Flame Size

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to

complete the process. Usethe chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for

various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being

cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, usea thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If

the fat istoo cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy.If the fat istoo hot, the food will

brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too

much food at once asthe food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*Flame size

High Flame

Medium Flame

Low Flame

Type of Cooking

Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam.

Keep foods cooking; poach; stew.

* These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings

may vary when using other types of pans.

Never extend the flame

beyond the outer edge of the

utensil. A higher flame simply

wastes heat and energy, and

increases your risk of being

burned by the flame.

WRONG

Proper Burner Adjustments

The color of the flame isthe key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame isclear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room.

Eachcone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame isyellow-orange. To clean burner, see

instructions under General Cleaning.

Setting Surface Controls

The surface control knobs shown below

may not look identical to the Surface Corn

trois Knobs on your range; They are only

representational.

Venturi (opened) Burner Models

To Adjust Low or "Simmer" Setting (some models)

The burner flame, at low setting, can be adjusted if it istoo high or too low; refer to

the installation instruction for adjustment procedure.

To Adjust Standing Pilot Model (some models)

Eachburner lights automatically either an electric or a standing pilot, depending

on your model. Standing pilots must be lit initially. To light the standing pilot, open

gas supply on pilot shutoff valves (screw), lift the cooktop from the front edge and

hold a match near the pilot. Standing pilots will remain lit when the burners are

turned off; because of that, the porcelain enamel cooktop can be hot even if

burners are not used; refer to Installation Instructions for proper pilot adjustment.

Models with electric ignitors light automatically each time a control knob isturned

to the LITEposition.

To operate the Surface Burner:

1. Placecooking utensil on burner.

2. Pushin and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE.Note: All electronic ignitors

will click atthe sametime. However, onlythe burner you are turning on will ignite.

Surface burner in usewhen an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on

the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top

of the cooktop when it isin use. These items could melt or ignite. Pot holders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed

too close to a flame. 6

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils

For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:

Pansshould haveflat bottoms. Check for

flatness by rotating a ruler acrossthe bot-

tom. There should be no gaps between

the pan and ruler.

Note: Always usea utensil for its intend-

ed purpose. Follow manufacturer's in-

structions. Some utensils were not made

to be usedin the oven or on the cooktop.

Note: Do not usegriddle over more than

one burner. That can damage your

cooktop and that can result in exposure

to carbon monoxide levels above allow-

able current standards. That can hazard-

ous to your health.

*GOOD

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt

pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Pansizes match the amount of

food to be prepared.

• Made of material that conducts

heat well.

• Easyto clean.

POOR

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

• Panoverhangs unit by more than

2.5 cm (1").

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flameextends beyond unit.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used

but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

Specialty Pans & Trivets

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for

use on your cooktop are available in

most cookshop or hardware stores.

Round-bottomed woks (with a

support ring that does not extend

beyond the burner unit) may also be

used. The metal ring was designed to

support the wok safely when it is

filled with large amounts of liquids

(soup making) or fat (frying).

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped

with a metal ring that extends

beyond the burner unit. Because this

ring traps heat, the surface unit and

cooktop surface could be damaged.

Wire trivets: Do not usewire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact

with the grates.

DO NOT use two burner units to heat one large pan such as a

roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of the

pan in either of these situations could cause discoloring or crazing of the appliance

cooking surface, and damage to the grates and burner units.

Canning Tips &

Information

Canning can generate

largeamounts of steam. Useextreme cau-

tion to prevent burns. Always raise the

lid to vent steam away from you.

_--;,

1. Usetested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local

Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glassjars for

the latest canning information.

2. Useflat-bottomed canners only. Heat isspread more evenly when the

bottom surface isflat.

3. Center canner on the burner grate.

4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to

bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to

maintain a constant boil.

5. It isbest to can small amounts and light loads.

Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:

1. Do not usewater bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch

beyond the edge of the burner grate.

2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended

amount of time.

3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and

surrounding surfaces to cool down. Tryto avoid canning on the same burner

unit all day.

Safecanning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed

and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle

but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.

cleaners on any part of the cooktop. Damage to the finish or parts could result.

To Clean the Tempered-glass Cooktop (some models)

The cooktop isdesigned to make cleaning easier. Becausethe four burners are sealed, cleanups are

easywhen spillovers are cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe

dry.

Correct and consistent cleaning isessential to maintaining your heat-resistant glass top. Spills and

spatters should be wiped up using a clean paper towel and sudsywater. This should be done either

as soon as possible after spill occurs, after cooking iscompleted, or at the latest, before using the

cooktop again. Usecaution if the cooktop ishot. Forheavy spills, spatter or burned-on materials, use

razor blade scraper. Hold the razor blade scraper at a 30° angle and remove food spills or burned on

food residue.

For sugary spillovers:

Sugaryspills can cause pitting of your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills

while the cooktop is still hot.

Finish the deaning process by applying a recommended heat- resistant glass cooktop cleaning

cream. Apply cleaner with clean, damp paper towel. Rinse with a paper towel dampened with clean

water and wipe dry. Always wipe the cooktop thoroughly to avoid heating any cleaner residue.

Cleaning Materials for Ceramic-Glass Cooktop

Somecleaning materials may contain an ingredient which can damage the cooktop. Use recommended cleaning products only

(see below). Cleaner cream should be used regularly. First use recommended products listed below, then use cleaner cream.

Useonly recommended cleaning products and follow these basic cleaning suggestions.

1. Before the cooktop is used, thoroughly clean and saturate the cooktop with cleaner cream.

a) Dampen clean paper towel and clean unit.

b) Wipe off with another clean, damp paper towel; then wipe dry.

2. For normal daily cleaning, apply a dab of cleaner cream in the center of each unit-area to be cleaned. Start with

approximately 1/8 teaspoon (apply more if needed). Then, proceed as stated above in a and b.

3. Make sure bottom of cookware and cooking area are clean and dry.

4. Select heat settings and cookware large enough for food and liquid.

5. Wipe up food spills and spatters before they burn into surface.

IMPORTANT: Regularly use cleaner cream. If you run out of cream, use one of the cleaners listed. Be sure to get a new supply

of cleaner cream.

Never mix cleaning products! Mixtures may interact, with damaging or hazardous results.

Do Use on Ceramic Glass Cooktop

1. Baking soda.

2. Nonqmpregnated plastic and nylon pads.

1. Avoid pads, that can leave marks and scratches.

2. Avoid heavy-duty cleaning powders; these can scratch, depending on their abrasiveness and cleaning pressure applied.

3. Avoid chemical oven cleaners. These can etch the cooktop surface and are caustic.

4. Avoid rust stain removers containing hydrofluoric acid.

5. Avoid using bleach and do not useammonia.

Special Cleaning Instructions for Mineral Deposits and Discolorations

Problem: A gray brown stain that is not removed when using cleaner creme.

Cause: Condensation, when cooking, often collects and drips from cookware. The minerals found inwater supply and foods may

cause a gray or brown film to develop on cooktop. This film issothin it cannot be felt and appears to be under cooktop.

To Prevent: Daily and proper use of cleaner creme.

To Remove: - Wet surface with water and sprinkle on cleaner creme.

- Scrub with clean, damp paper towel until stain disappears.

- Clean remaining paste away with damp paper towel.

- Apply dab of cleaner creme and polish with a clean paper towel.

Sealed Burner Models (some models) (continued)

To Clean the Burner Grates, Contoured Burner Pans, Burner Cap and Burner Base

Theburner grates,contoured burner pans, burner capsand burner baseshould be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner ports clean

will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. Seeinstructions below.

To Clean the Burner Grates

Besure burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder,

cleaning cloths or other material on them. Thecastiron burner gratescan bewashed

in hot soapywater. Rinsethoroughlyand drythe grateswith acloth- don't putthem

on the cooktop while still wet. Be sure the grates are positioned securely over the

burners.

To remove burned on food, placethe grates in a covered container or plastic bag.

Add 1/4 cup ammonia and soak for 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry. An

abrasive cleaner can be used for stubborn stains. Burner grate can appear in different shapes.

To Clean the Contoured Burner Pans

The burner pans are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The burner pan forms a recessedwell area located around

each burner unit. If spill occurs in one of the well areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinsewith aclean, damp cloth and

wipe dry.

Sealed Burner

Burner Cap

To Clean the Burner Cap

Remove burner cap. Usesoap-filled pad or mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner

caps. If necessary,cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for

30 minutes. Rubgentlywith a mixture of cleanwater and vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove

all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.

To Clean the Removable Burner Baseand Gas Opening (some models)

The ports (or slots)around the burner basemust be routinely cleaned. Useasmall-

gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes.

Note: Ifthe electrode isdamaged or broken, the surface burner will not light because

it will not spark. Manual lighting with a match isstill possible.

For proper flow of gasand ignition of the burner - DO NOTALLOW SPILLS,FOOD,

CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHERMATERIAL TO ENTERTHE GAS OPENING

TUBE.Gasmust flow freelythrough the small hole in the brassorifice for the burners

to light properly. If the gasopening orifice becomes soiled or clogged, usea small-

gauge or needle to clean. ALWAYS keepthe burner capin placewhenever asurface

burner isin use.

To Replace the Burner Base and the Burner Cap

Make sure the pieces are thoroughly dry before placing back.

1. Replace burner baseand burner cap at there place. Make sure each burner cap

and burner baseare properly aligned and leveled.

2. Replace the burner grate.

3. Turn the burner on to determine if it light. If the burner does not light after

cleaning, contact an authorized servicer. Do not service the sealed burner

yourself.

ou de s'appuyer dessus. Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper sur

I'appareil ou jouer autour.

• Rangement sur I'appareiI--Ne rangez pas sur la table de

cuisson ou pros des br_leurs de surface, des mat6riaux

inflammables. Ceci inclus des papiers, plastiques, tissus, livres de

cuisine, objets en plastique et torchons, ainsi que des liquides

inflammables. N'y posez pas des produits explosifs comme bombes

NETOUCHEZ PASAUX BROLEURSDE SURFACE,AUX GRILLES

OU AUX ZONES A PROXIMITle DE CEUX-CI. Les br01eurs de

surface peuvent 6tre suffisamment chauds m6me silesflammes ne

sont pas visibles. Les zones pros des br01eurs peuvent devenir

suffisamment chaudes pour causer des br01ures. Pendant et apr_s

toute utilisation, netouchez paset ne laissezpasvosv6tements ou

autres produits inflammables venir en contact avec ces zones

moins qu'elles aient eu le temps de se refroidir. Ces zones

comprennent lasurface decuisson et lessurface orientees vers elle.

Portez des v_tements appropri6s--Ne portez jamais de

v_tement amples ou flottants en utilisant cet appareil. Ne

laissez pas les materiaux inflammables et les v6tements venir en

contact avec les surfaces chaudes.

llr.w_.\,A_;i/_-_._,,,l_,,/aN'utilisez jamais votre appareil pour

r6chauffer ou chauffer une piece.

N'6teignez pas les feux de friture avec de I'eau ou de la

farine--letouffez les feux avec un couvercle ou du

bicarbonate de soude, ou avec un extincteur _ poudre s_che

ou _ mousse.

• En chauffant de I'huile ou de la graisse, restez pros de

I'appareil. La graisse ou I'huile peuvent prendre feu si elles

devenaient trop chaudes.

N'utilisez que des gants isolants secs--Des gants isolants

mouill6s ou humides en contact avec des surfaces chaudes

peuvent causer des br_lures par la vapeur. Ne laissez pas les

gants isolantstoucher les br01eurs ou la flamme. Ne vous servez pas

de torchon ni de chiffon _ la place d'un gant isolant.

Ne r6chauffez pas des contenants non ouverts--

L'accumulation de pression peut faire exploser le contenant

et blesser.

Vous devez savoir quel bouton commande chacun des

br_leurs de surface. Tournez le bouton _ la position "LITE"

(ALLUMAGE) pour mettre les brOleurs en marche. V6rifiez que le

brOleur est allum6 puis r6glez la flamme pour qu'elle ne depasse

pas de I'ustensile.

rrv_.\,i_;i/._q_,,_l_/n Bonne dimension de la flamme--

R6glez la flamme pour qu'elle ne d6passe pas du bord de

I'ustensile. Avec des ustensiles de dimension insuffisante, une partie

de laflamme du br01eurseraexpos6e et risquera de mettre lafeu aux

v6tements. Un bon contact entre I'ustensile et la flamme am61iore

aussi I'efficacite.

r! T_,\vl_-'il/ i-'__]=1_I=1_IIIII N'utilisez pas des grilles de r6chaud sur

vos br_leurs _ gaz scell6s. Sinon, la combustion serait incomplete

et il pourrait en r6sulter un degagement de monoxyde de carbone

des doses sup6rieures aux niveaux admis, ce qui serait dangereux

pour votre sante.

MESURES DE SI CURITI IMPORTANTEScsuite

• Utilisez la grosseur de casserole appropri_e--Cet appareil est

equip_ d'un ou plusieurs brOleurs de surface de differentes

grosseurs. Choisissiez les ustensiles ayant un dessous plat, assez

large pour recouvrir le brOleur. Sivous utilisez des ustensiles trop

petits, une partie du brOleur sera _ decouvert, et les v_tements

entrant directement en contact avec le brOleur sont susceptibles de

prendre feu. L'utilisation d'ustensiles d'une taille proportionnelle

au brOleur am_liore aussi le rendement.

• Les poigndes d'ustensiles doivent _tre tourndes vers

I'intdrieur, sans surplomber les brQleurs adjacents, afin de

r_duire les risques de brOlure, de combustion et de renversements

causes par le contact involontaire avec un ustensile.

• Ne laissez jamais les br_leurs de surface sans surveillance _ des

r_glages _lev_s--Les debordements causent de la fum_e, les

eclaboussures de graisse sont susceptibles de prendre feu et les

ustensiles dont le contenu s'est evapor_ peuvent fondre.

• Protecteurs--N'utilisez pas de papier d'aluminium pour recouvrir

les cuvettes des brOleurs de surface ou toute autre partie de

I'appareil. Utilisez seulement le papier d'aluminium pour recouvrir

la nourriture durant la cuisson au four. Toute autre utilisation de

protecteurs ou de papier aluminium est susceptible de causer un

choc electrique, un feu ou un court-circuit.

• Ustensile vitrifi_s--En raison de brusques changements de

temperature, on ne peut utiliser avec la surface de cuisson que

certains ustensiles en verre, en vitroc_ramique ou en terre cuite, ou

autres ustensiles vitrifies, sans risquer qu'ils sefendent. V_rifiez les

recommandations du fabricant quant ) leur utilisation sur une

surface de cuisson.

N'utilisez pasdecouverclede br_leurd_coratif. Siun br01eurest

accidentellement allum_, le couvercle risque de chauffer et

eventuellement de fondre. Vous risquez devous brOler en touchant

lecouvercle. Aussi, ily a risque d'endommagement de la surface de

cuisson et des brOleurss'ily a surchauffe du couvercle. L'air seraaussi

bloque, ce qui entrafnera des probl_mes de combustion.

SURFACE EN VERRE (certainsmodules):

• Ne nettoyez pas et ne faites pas fonctionner une table de

cuisson avec une vitre cass_e--Si le verre de la surface est fissure,

lessolutions de nettoyage et produits renvers_s pourraient p_netrer

I'interieur de la surface de cuisson et entrafner un risque de

decharge electrique. Prenez contact imm_diatement avec un

technicien qualifi&

Nettoyez prudemment le verre de la surface de cuisson--Si

vous utilisez un linge ou une Sponge humide pour enlever les

produits renvers_s sur une surface de cuisson chaude, faites

attention _ ne pas vous brOler par la vapeur. Certains produits de

nettoyage peuvent degager des vapeurs dangereuses s'ils sont

appliques sur une surface chaude.

Ne placez pas d'ustensiles de cuisine chauds sur le verre de la

table de cuisson. Ceci pourrait le casser.

I_viter de gratter le verre de la table de cuisson avec des objets

pointus.

AVIS DE SECURITE IMPORTANT
