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

This appliance has been tested for operation up to an

altitude of 10,100 ft (3,078 m) elevation above sea level.

If desired, for altitudes above 2,000 ft (610 m) elevation

above sea level, adjustments may be made. Burners

should be checked at the lowest setting, if the flame is

not stable the simmer should be increased until the

flame is stable. This can be done by adjusting the

bypass screw in the valve. If flame performance is

satisfactory, adjustment will not be required. It is required

that a Certified Professional make the high altitude

adjustments during installation.

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.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

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

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Release the control knob.

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:

Turn on the burner as usual.

Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it

down firmly for 4seconds 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 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.

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 1minute.

Yellow flames:

Further adjustment is required.

Yellow tips on outer cones:

Normal for LP Gas.

Soft blue flames:

Normal for Natural Gas.

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:

Burner Minimum

diameter of the

cookware base

Maximum

diameter of the

cookware base

Dual-flame

" (22 cm)

11¾" (30 cm)

Large burner 7¾" (20 cm) 10¼" (26 cm)

Medium burner 5½" (14 cm)

" (22 cm)

Small burner 4¾" (12 cm) 6¼" (16 cm)

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 19

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.
