are and Cleaning
• C
lean only the parts of the cooktop listed in this manual. Clean them only in the manner specified.
• To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your cooktop’s surfaces and accessories, use only the types of cleaning
solutions specified in this manual.
• To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the burners and make sure that all parts are cool before cleaning.
DO NOT turn the burners on during cleaning.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop. Steam could penetrate the electrical components and cause a
short circuit. After cleaning the burners, reassemble all of the burner parts before attempting to operate the
cooktop.
• After cleaning the burners, always dry and reassemble the cooktop parts completely before use.
• Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may
scratch your cooktop’s surfaces.
• To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring pads,
on any part of the cooktop unless instructed to do so. Use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush or
nylon cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces of your cooktop.
• Do not remove the trim rings from the cooktop. Clean only the outside edges of the trim rings. If you get
moisture inside the trim rings damage to the cooktop may occur.
• Do not soak the knobs in water or put them in the dishwasher.
• Installing the cooktop knobs in the wrong position may result in damage to the cooktop .

leaning the Cooktop
T
o keep the cooktop looking and operating its best,
clean it after every use. Also, quickly wipe up spills
that occur while cooking. Be careful not to touch any
hot areas. Spills that remain on hot burner parts
will be very difficult to clean, especially if allowed to
burn on. Certain types of food, such as tomatoes,
citrus juices, vinegar, alcohol and milk can damage
the finishes if you allow them to stand for any
length of time.
IMPORTANT: The cooktop is exposed to extremely
high temperatures. The grates are under high stress
when hot utensils are placed on them. Also, the
cooktop parts are occasionally exposed to acidic
food spill-overs. These severe operating conditions,
cause the porcelain enamel parts on your cooktop
to undergo a change in appearance over time. If
you care for and clean these parts carefully, you will
slow down, but not eliminate, the aging process.

ooktop Disassembly
1
. For safety, disconnect the cooktop power cord
from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning.
2. When the appliance is cool, remove the grates
from the top of the cooktop.
3. Disassemble the burners. Lift the burner caps
and burner rings off of the burners.

WARNING
T
o avoid the risk of fire or personal injury, all minimum
and maximum specified clearances on this and the
following pages must be maintained or exceeded.
General Considerations
•
The minimum distance from the back of the cooktop
to a combustible rear wall is 2 1/2” (64 mm) minimum
(Figure 1).
• Installation of a non-combustible material* (up to the
hood) or a backsplash is always recommended, and
mandatory if the distance to the back wall from the
cooktop is less than 2 1/2” (Figure 2).
* Consult local codes and ordinances for acceptable
non-combustible materials.
• Carefully check the location where the cooktop is to be
installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be
installed away from drafts caused by doors, windows
and heating air conditioning outlets. To reduce the
risk of personal injury from reaching over a hot
appliance, avoid cabinet installations directly above.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury and to reduce
accumulated smoke in the room, strongly
recommends installing a range hood. A hood should
project forward a minimum of five (5) inches beyond the
face of the cabinets.
• The installation must allow access to the underside
of the cooktop for service and inspection purposes,
including the ability to turn off the cooktop gas supply
valve and electrical outlet.
• All contact surfaces between the cooktop and the counter
must be solid and level.
• The countertop overhang on the sides of the cutout
shown on the following pages cover the recessed
portions of the cooktop behind the control panel and
creates a seamless look for the installation.
• IMPORTANT: When installing the cooktop into a
laminated or synthetic countertop, radius the corners of
the cutout to help avoid cracking. Consult the countertop
manufacturer’s instructions for minimum corner radius,
reinforcement and heat protection requirements.
G
as and Electric Service Location
•
The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the
electrical outlet must be located so they do not interfere
with the cooktop when it is installed. If installing another
appliance in the cabinet below,
allow for the routing ofgas and electrical service out
the back of the unit.
• The shaded area on the facing page shows the
recommended location of the gas inlet and the electrical
outlet. For replacement purposes, the location of the
existing utilities may be utilized provided they do not
interfere with the sides or rear of the cooktop. Check
local building codes for permissible utility locations.
• For best performance and to minimize gas pressure
loss, attach gas supply regulatoras close as possible
to the cooktop gas inlet.
The installation must:
• Allow for access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator
when the unit is installed.
• Allow for access to the electrical outlet, when the
cooktop is in place so the power cord may be easily
disconnected if the unit needs service.
• Allow the (32”) power cord to reach the electrical outlet.
