BEFORE USE
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions can result to serious injury or death.
• DO NOT let the burner flames extend beyond the edge of the pan.
• Turn off all controls when burners are not in use.
• ALWAYS use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
• NEVER leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boil overs can cause smoke and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Excessive flames are hazardous. Adjust the burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware.
• When removing the cooking grates, ALWAYS be certain that the controls for all burners are set to off. Make
sure all cooking grates are cool before attempting to remove them.
CAUTION: Utilizing Cookware Properly
• Select cookware that is the appropriate size to cover the burner grates.
• DO NOT use cookware that is unstable or easily tippable as this can increase the chances of spillover and
serious injury. To avoid spillover make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly.
• When utilizing glass cookware. Make sure the glass cookware is suitable for top range cooking.
• Keep all plastic items away from the cooktop as they may melt if left too close to the heat.
• ALWAYS turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
• ALWAYS turn the burner controls off before removing the cookware.
• When utilizing pot holders. Only use dry pot/pan holders as moist or damp pot holders to hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. DO NOT let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware.
COOKWARE AND THE CHARACTERISTICS

• Suitable for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
Cast Iron
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Stainless Steel
• Heats quickly, but unevenly.
• A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

BURNER GRATES

a. Rapid Burner: The front left burner is designed to give maximum power when fully on. This burner is used to
rapidly bring liquids to a boil and cook large quantities of food.
b. Auxiliary Burner: The front right burner allows for more precise simmering and low temperature cooking.
c. Semi-Rapid Burner: The left rear and right rear burners provide a burner power level between the Rapid
burner and the Auxiliary burner. These two burners are considered to be multipurpose burners.
The two grates are identical and can be used on either the left or right of the cooktop.
d. Wok Ring: The Wok Ring grate can be attached on top of the Rapid Burner grate. Both flat-bottom Wok
pans and round-bottom Wok pans can be utilized with the Wok ring.
NOTE: Burner grates should be washed regularly and after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. Make sure the grates are fully dry before putting back into place.
SEALED SURFACE BURNERS
WARNING: DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and DO NOT allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. To avoid
spills, food, cleaning agents or other materials entering the gas tube, ALWAYS keeps the Burner Cap on.
a. Burner Cap: ALWAYS keep the burner cap in place when
utilizing a surface burner. To avoid poor ignition and uneven
flames, maintain clean burner caps. (Refer to “Cleaning
Cooktop” on page 16.)
b. Burner Ports
c. Flame: Occasionally check burner flames for proper size and
shape (Refer to Figure 5.)
NOTE: A good flame is blue in color and not yellow.
